SVRCINA's goal is to create music that not only she connects with personally, but is culturally transcendent. Experimentation with sounds, mixtures of musical elements with cultural personality traits, influenced by faith and current events, SVRCINA is carving out a niche that music lovers around the world will embrace.
In the midst of releasing singles from her own projects, SVRCINA has released multiple collaborations with Man Cub, TWENTYSOMETHING, Arcando, Built By Titan, Hidden Citizen, Tommee Profitt, and Koni among others. As a writer, she had her first major label cut with MOTi ft. Icona Pop “Sink Deeper”, and another feature project with Sj & Joakim Molitor, “Live Without You” both released in April 2019. There is a chance you may have heard her voice on major networks such as ABC, CBS, HBO and CW on Quantico, Station 19, Containment and Roswell, New Mexico to name a few. In addition, her song “Who Are You” (written with Jordan Frye and frequent collaborator Super Duper) is being used in the promo for new series Emergence which will premiere this fall on ABC.
SVRCINA launched her sophomore project Hearing Colour on June 14th, with over 3 million collective streams upon release.

SVRCINA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At a time when I wasn′t myself
It was easy to be someone else
Wore a mask, so you don't see I fell
No, you don′t
You never leave and it terrifies me
Thought I would scare you away
But nothing 'bout you is safe
Thank you for taking
My expectations
To another level, high
I really needed that
Thought I′d never get
Get to feel what this is like
You by my side
So high
So high
You by my side (my side, oh)
So high (so high, oh)
So high (so high, oh)
So high
I shied away
It was hard to be honest with you
Looking back, it′s the least I could do
Feel the drop when you walk in the room
That's my heart, and the blood runs to you
You never leave and it terrifies me
Thought I would scare you away
If you get too close, wouldn′t recognize me
But nothing 'bout you is safe
Thank you for taking
My expectations
To another level, high
I really needed that
Thought I′d never get
Get to feel what this is like
You by my side
So high
So high
You by my side (my side, oh)
So high (so high, oh)
So high (so high, oh)
So high (so high, oh)
So high (so high, oh)
So high (so high, oh)
So high (so high, oh)
So high
You never leave and it terrifies me
Thought I would scare you away
If you get too close, wouldn't recognize me
You never leave and it terrifies me
Thank you for taking
My e-
Thank you for taking

All expectations
To another level
In the song "Expectations" by SVRCINA, the lyrics convey a message of vulnerability and fear of intimacy. The singer admits to wearing a mask and pretending to be someone else to hide their true self from the person they are with. They are afraid that if the other person truly sees them for who they are, they will be rejected or pushed away. This sense of fear and insecurity is palpable throughout the song.
The repeated phrase "You never leave and it terrifies me" reinforces the singer's fear of abandonment and the idea that their true self may not be accepted by the other person. The lyrics express gratitude for the other person for taking their expectations to a higher level, suggesting that they have helped the singer grow and experience things they never thought possible. Despite their fears, there is a sense of longing and appreciation for the connection they share.
The line "Feel the drop when you walk in the room, That's my heart, and the blood runs to you" paints a vivid picture of the impact the other person has on the singer. Their presence is described as electrifying and captivating, causing a physical reaction within the singer's body. This imagery adds depth to the emotional intensity of the song and showcases the power of the connection between the two individuals.
Overall, "Expectations" is a heartfelt exploration of vulnerability, fear, and gratitude in a relationship. The lyrics capture the complexities of opening up to someone and the transformative power of being seen and accepted for who you truly are. The singer's journey towards honesty and self-acceptance is beautifully portrayed, and the song resonates with anyone who has experienced the mix of emotions that come with letting down their guard and allowing themselves to be vulnerable with another person.

I absolutely love every single breath god offers you which you're taking, for that magic turns void into bliss. You're the embodiment of purity ❤
@gale1732
Her voice really has raised my expectations and standards for music. I can't listen to the music I used to listen to
@ojt8792
Exactly - well said !!! It’s like once you’ve driven a Tesla or Mercedes it’s hard to drive a VW. Pink Floyd has always been my mind blowing band, and now they have a rival! Nothing trumps passion and creativity - certain people are born with higher levels than most - Roger Waters and Svrcina have it all!
