Already been touring UK and Europe multiple times on this first record, both with headline tours and as main support for the Japanese critical acclaimed boys in Crystal Lake in October 2017, who in 2018 also invited the band to take part of their own True North Festival in Tokyo.

aviana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We tried to stay
But nothing makes a loud enough sound
for us to stay
(Not loud enough for us to stay)
You made me doubt my whole existence
And now I’m gone letting all just spin out of control
Slow down love
And I’ll begin to
Come undone
Slow down love
And we’ll begin to
Fade away my love
It’s been a year since the sun kissed my face
And all I feel is the cold embrace of solitude
Your solitude my love
Slow down love
And I’ll begin to
Come undone
Slow down love
And we’ll begin to
Fade away my love
Watch me break
Watch me loose all hope
And never let me go
Bleed me dry
Look as I fade away
Chew all the skin from my bones
Watch me break
Watch me loose all hope
And never let me go
Bleed me dry
Look as I fade away
Chew all the skin from my bones
Watch me break
Watch me loose all hope
And never let me go
Bleed me dry
Look as I fade away
Chew all the skin from my bones
The song "Anomaly" by Aviana captures an emotional journey of losing oneself in a toxic relationship. The first verse talks about feeling lost and hopeless as the relationship crumbles. The colors fade, roads lead nowhere, and nothing is loud enough to make them stay. The singer questions their existence and feels like an empty shell of the person they once were. In the chorus, the singer pleads with their partner to slow down and save their relationship from fading into nothness. However, the damage has been done, and the relationship is beyond repair. The singer is left to watch themselves break, lose hope, and fade away as their partner chews all the skin from their bones.
The song is a powerful portrayal of the pain and trauma that one might experience when in a toxic relationship. The singer is trying hard to hold on to what they have, but it's slipping away from their grasp. They are caught in a never-ending cycle of despair and can't seem to escape the situation. The song's haunting melody and the emotional depth of the lyrics make it a truly captivating experience.
Line by Line Meaning
The colours fade and all the roads lead me down
Feeling lost and hopeless, all paths seem dull and lead to nowhere
We tried to stay
Despite the struggle, we attempted to hold onto something
But nothing makes a loud enough sound
It takes something significant to make us stay
for us to stay
To maintain the relationship or situation requires something substantial
You made me doubt my whole existence
Your actions and words caused me to question my very being
And there only an empty shell of a man that I used to be
I have been reduced to a hollow version of myself
And now I’m gone letting all just spin out of control
I have surrendered control and allowed chaos to take over
Slow down love
Take a step back and reflect on the situation
And I’ll begin to
It will allow me to
Come undone
Break apart and reveal my vulnerability
And we’ll begin to
It will help us
Fade away my love
Slowly drift apart and end the relationship
It’s been a year since the sun kissed my face
It has been a long time since I felt joy or happiness
And all I feel is the cold embrace of solitude
Loneliness is all that remains
Your solitude my love
Even in your presence, I feel alone
Watch me break
Observe as I fall apart
Watch me loose all hope
See as I lose faith in the future
And never let me go
Refuse to release me from this emotional turmoil
Bleed me dry
Take all that I have left
Look as I fade away
Witness my slow and painful decline
Chew all the skin from my bones
Take every part of me until there is nothing left

Shit, man. You think metalcore is predictable? It’s one of my favorite sub genres because I feel like it’s so malleable. Just off the dome real quick—I’m thinking about the wide array of sounds you get from Killswitch Engage to Crystal Lake; just to make a quick, off-the-cuff example. Not trying to talk shit, bro. Just figured I’d give some input and join the convo. Cheers, my dude 🤘
