After 3 releases in North America, "Where Broken Angels Lie", "Forward" and "Conflict", The Azoic grabbed the attention of the German label, Infacted Recordings. On February 2, 2004, The Azoic debuted in Europe with their release, 'Forward + Conflict', which sold out in 6 months! They quickly made a mark and moved up to the no. 4 spot on the DAC [German Alternative Charts] and no. 2 on the DUC [Dutch Alternative Charts]. In 2004, The Azoic released their fourth full-length CD, 'Illuminate' and continued to polish their trademark style, even adding a cover of "Obsession", the 80's Animotion classic, with guest vocalist Frank Spinath of Seabound.
After a video game release (featuring "Conflict (Turmoil Mix)" on Microsoft XBox's 'Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 3' alongside vocal appearances featuring Kristy and several shows across the US and Europe, The Azoic continued to ascend. With 5 full-length releases, 2 EP's, 2 tours and over 50 shows, RMP chartings [US], 4 on the DAC charts + bullet on Native25 [Germany], 2 on the DUC charts [Netherlands], several magazine and webzine interviews (such as Zillo, Sonic Seducer, Side-Line, DNA Six, Industrial Nation, Gothic Beauty), a video, and appearances on numerous compilations, both nationally and internationally, The Azoic continued at the forefront of their genre.

The Azoic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don’t you ever wonder why?
I know, I know
I feel it too.
Do you see vast, far and wide?
Please won’t you look into my eyes.
I am, I am
Entranced by you.
Don’t be afraid of all that you feel.
I know you can tell it’s for real.
The time, the time
is drawing near.
Can I invest deep in your heart?
Can I step back and try to impart?
I think, I think,
I’m falling hard.
I can sense warmth glowing within.
I can see through you toward this therein.
I‘m calm, I’m calm
When I’m with you.
Forever and ever and ever
Do you ever imagine the future?
Our souls merged, our lives as one
A purified hope so radiant yet unknown.
Don’t be afraid of all that you feel.
I know you can tell it’s for real.
The time, the time.
is drawing near.
Do you see vast, far and wide?
Please won’t you look into my eyes.
I am, I am
Entranced by you.
Don’t you ever look at the sky?
Don’t you ever wonder why?
I know, I know
I feel it too.
The Azoic's song "Ever" explores the feelings of love and the desire to merge souls with another person. The opening lines of "Don’t you ever look at the sky? Don’t you ever wonder why?" are an invocation for the listener to contemplate the mysteries and vastness of the world around them, a call to take a moment to pause and consider the depths of their feelings.
As the song progresses, the lyrics shift to focus on a specific person, with the singer asking if they can "invest deep in your heart" and "try to impart" their own emotions. The repetition of "I am, I am, entranced by you" speaks to the intensity of the singer's emotions, and the lines "My heart. My love. My soul. My breath. I’m whole" evoke a sense of completeness that comes with loving someone deeply.
The final stanza brings the lyrics full circle, returning to the metaphor of the vastness of the universe, with the singer asking if the listener "ever imagine[s] the future" and the possibility of merging souls with another person. The repeated refrain of "I know you can tell it’s for real. The time, the time, is drawing near" creates a sense of urgency, as if the singer is imploring the listener to take a chance on love before it's too late.
Overall, "Ever" is a song that explores the depths of love and the desire for connection. The lyrics are evocative and poetic, and the vocals are haunting and ethereal, creating a sense of otherworldliness that reinforces the song's themes of vastness and infinity.
