Lycia (Lycian: 𐊗𐊕𐊐𐊎𐊆𐊖 Trm̃mis; Greek: Λυκία, Turkish: Likya) was a geopolitical region in Anatolia in what are now the provinces of Antalya and Muğla on the southern coast of Turkey, and Burdur Province inland. Known to history since the records of ancient Egypt and the Hittite Empire in the Late Bronze Age, it was populated by speakers of the Luwian language group. Written records began to be inscribed in stone in the Lycian language (a later form of Luwian) after Lycia's involuntary incorporation into the Achaemenid Empire in the Iron Age. At that time (546 BC) the Luwian speakers were decimated, and Lycia received an influx of Persian speakers.
Lycia fought for the Persians in the Persian Wars, but on the defeat of the Achaemenid Empire by the Greeks, it became intermittently a free agent. After a brief membership in the Athenian Empire, it seceded and became independent (its treaty with Athens had omitted the usual non-secession clause), was under the Persians again, revolted again, was conquered by Mausolus of Caria, returned to the Persians, and went under Macedonian hegemony at the defeat of the Persians by Alexander the Great. Due to the influx of Greek speakers and the sparsity of the remaining Lycian speakers, Lycia was totally Hellenized under the Macedonians. The Lycian language disappeared from inscriptions and coinage.
Lycaena is a butterfly genus.The genus range is Holarctic, with the exception of four species found in New Zealand, two in South Africa, one in New Guinea and one in Java. It is commonly divided into several subgenera, such as Antipodolycaena. Many formerly independent genera are now subsumed within Lycaena; the genus Gaiedes may also belong here. Many of the subgenera, species-groups and species listed here may be synonyms.

Lycia is a darkwave / gothic rock band that was formed in 1988, Tempe, Arizona, United States. The main personnel of the band are Mike VanPortfleet, Tara Vanflower and David Galas. Although only achieving minor cult success, the band is notable for being one of the ground breaking groups in darkwave and ethereal wave styles. Their 1995 album The Burning Circle and Then Dust received some attention for the power pop hit song "Pray," and the album "remains a high point of American dark rock," according to Allmusic. Lycia's music is characterized by rich soundscapes and layers of echoed guitars, dark and ethereal keyboards, doomy drum machine beats, VanPortfleet's melancholic, whispered vocals and Vanflower's vivid voice. Trent Reznor and Peter Steele are some of their more well-known fans.
After Mike VanPortfleet started Lycia in 1988 as a solo project, in the summer of that year he met Will Welch who joined for the project. In November, Welch was replaced by John Fair. In March 1989, Lycia's first recording, Wake, a 6-song demo tape, is released on Orphanage Records. The sound is characterized at the time by dominating rock guitars and rhythm patterns of drum computer.Wake was unique in that it was mastered directly onto an audio cassette tape as opposed to the more professional multitrack recording that Lycia would henceforth use.
Oooh my lobby call was 11:30
I'm officially the opposite of early
I gotta go downstairs
Everybody waiting down there for me
But I roll over into your curly hair
And sexy body, oh so nice and curvy
Reminiscing on last night
Wake up and let me get it one more time
Before, before, before
I gotta go, I got responsibilities
I gotta take care of, oh-woah, oh-woah
That's when you wrap them legs around me
And I fall victim to that lazy love
Hey, you got that, I don't wanna
That I don't wanna go nowhere, that lazy love
You got that, I don't wanna
That I don't wanna do nothing
You got that lazy love
Hey, you got that, I don't wanna
That I don't wanna do nothing
That lazy love
Hey, you got that, I don't wanna
That I don't wanna do nothing
Damn baby that was good, I'm gon' hit the shower
Even though I'm about two hours late
But I can't help it man
If they knew what I new, they would understand
I'm washing last night off, time to boss up
When suddenly on my back I feel a soft touch
She's right behind me
Water glistening off her body
Looking at me, like 'one more time'
But baby I gotta go, I got responsibilities
I gotta take care of
That's when you wrap them legs around me
And I fall victim to that lazy love
Hey, you got that, I don't wanna
That I don't wanna go nowhere,
You got that lazy love
You got that, I don't wanna
That I don't wanna do nothing
You got that lazy love
Hey, you got that, I don't wanna
That I don't wanna do nothing
You got that lazy love
Hey, you got that, I don't wanna
That I don't wanna do nothing
Ooooh.
Said ooooh.
Oooooh.
That lazy love.
