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.

Redemption
The Azoic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So please don't take
These awkward affairs to your heart, baby
Just want you to know
That there's no other place to go
Than down from here, my lady
All of this pain but
It's is kind of hard
When it is always the same
I tried too hard
To find a way to pull it apart
When I should have been
Finding you
Give me some time to make it alright
Take my hand; I'll be the one to guide you through the night
I know it's not fair when you are scared
But in the end who else cared?
I was the one who helped you through
The one made it easier on you
Been living life, with your wrists to the knife
But I promise you baby It'll be alright.
Why are you always mad at me?
When I am the one trying to ease your misery
How can I be the one to blame?
When you were the one putting it all to shame
The Azoic's song Redemption is a powerful and emotional plea from somebody who wants to help a person through their darkest times. The lyrics convey a sense of frustration and desperation as the singer tries to explain to their loved one that they are always there for them, no matter what. The opening lines are powerful: "just got one comment to make so please don't take these awkward affairs to your heart, baby." The singer is essentially saying that they want to be there for their loved one, but they know that it's difficult for them to open up and trust others. They want their loved one to know that they're not alone and that they can count on them for support.
The chorus of the song is a plea for understanding and a promise of hope. The singer asks their loved one for time to make things right and promises to be the one to guide them through their troubles. They acknowledge that it's not fair for their loved one to be scared, but they want them to know that they're not alone. The singer is frustrated because they feel like they're being blamed for their loved one's pain when all they want to do is help. The final verse is particularly poignant as the singer acknowledges that they have been through some difficult times with their loved one, but they still believe that things will get better.

just got one comment to make
I have something to say
So please don't take
Don't overreact or get upset
These awkward affairs to your heart, baby
Don't take these uncomfortable situations too seriously
Just want you to know
I need you to understand
That there's no other place to go
We're at a dead end or there are no other viable options
Than down from here, my lady
Things will only get worse from here
I have to get away from
I need to escape
All of this pain but
I'm feeling overwhelmed by my struggles
It's is kind of hard
It's difficult
When it is always the same
Because nothing seems to change
I tried too hard
I put in too much effort
To find a way to pull it apart
To solve the problem or fix what's broken
When I should have been
In hindsight, I realize that I needed to be doing something else
Finding you
Focusing on you, our relationship, or what's important
Give me some time to make it alright
I need time to fix things or make things right
Take my hand; I'll be the one to guide you through the night
I'm here to support you and help you through difficult times
I know it's not fair when you are scared
I realize that it's not equitable that you're fearful
But in the end who else cared?
Ultimately, who else was there for you?
I was the one who helped you through
I was your support
The one made it easier on you
I was the one who made things easier for you
Been living life, with your wrists to the knife
You've been living recklessly or dangerously
But I promise you baby It'll be alright.
But I assure you that it will be okay
Why are you always mad at me?
Why are you frequently angry with me?
When I am the one trying to ease your misery
When I'm the one attempting to alleviate your pain or discomfort
How can I be the one to blame?
Why am I responsible or at fault?
When you were the one putting it all to shame
When you were the person who was being reckless or causing problems
