Ayria
Ayria is a Canadian futurepop/synthpop musical project formed in early 2003 by Toronto's Jennifer Parkin following her departure from the futurepop and EBM band Epsilon Minus. The lighter, ethereal side of gothic, her work shows a collage of smooth textures and soft vocals over collisions of bass and driving beats, danceable and melodic with the darker elements and themes of electro-industrial music still present.
Biography
The first Ayria album, Debris, was released on Alfa Matrix in 2003.
Debris garnered international attention and produced several club and rave hits (notably "Disease"), and a series of successful mini-tours in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, occasionally featuring Mike Wimer of Noxious Emotion on drums. It shows a heavy EBM influence and features diverse tracks with Parkin singing about personal life, sci-fi themes, and surreal imagery.
During this period, Parkin performed guest vocals for several other projects, including Belgium's Aïboforcen and Implant, and Mexico's Isis Signum, some of which she would return to later on, such as the late 2011 release of two songs with Aïboforcen.

Blue Alice
by: AyriaI hope I'm dreaming, 'cause this can't be awake
I hope I'm dead, just for my sake
Who knew all this would come, from a dirty gun
Son of a bitch who thought he was a cowboy
The mad hatter bashes your face again
Look into his eyes to see where evil lives
Bullet through window, and down the rabbit hole
This is one fucked up fairy tale
(Chorus:)
Hey you! Black and blue,
Don't end up like Alice
Hey you! Black and blue,
Watch out, you'll end up like Alice
You'll get what's coming, you and your children
The wicked witch has OD'ed on pills again
And the Dragon, lights up a cigarette
He's blowing smoke right into your face again
It's off with her head, her snakes are seething
The big bad wolf is rabid and teething
Bullet through window, and down the rabbit hole
This is one fucked up fairy tale
CHORUS
Little pig, little pig
Put her down
She's slapped around, choked and drowned
