Allt eller inget

The title says it all - ‘Fuckboy Blues’ is just that, ending with a line that summarizes the themes of Alyzas debut EP ART pretty well: “Joke’s on you, I turned this heartbreak into Money and Art”.

Music & Lyrics by Alyza

Verse:
I met a boy
A silly little baby boy
I thought he was a man
Oh, but now I understand
That he’s not even half of what I am

Verse:
I met a guy
A very handsome guy that’s right
I thought he was a catch
Oh, but things turned nasty fast
Now I was wrong to think that this would ever last

(Instrumental solos by Albin Larsson on guitar and Erik Berggren on bass)

Verse:
I met a boy
A silly little baby boy
I thought he was a man
Oh, but now I understand
That he’s not even half of what I am

Verse:
He met a girl
He made her think she was his world
Bet he thought he was smart
When he went on and played my heart
Now they tell me I should’ve known this would happen from the start
But joke’s on you I turned this heartbreak into Money and Art

Fuckboy Blues

Heartfelt and sincere, and the most hopeful song of Alyzas debut EP ART, ‘Here With You’ explores the early stage of a romantic relationship in a soul ballad.

Music & Lyrics by Alyza

Verse:
Boy
It’s not a long time ago that I met you
And still you’ve got me feeling kind of special 
Better be careful with my heart

It’s something I’m not used to this that I’m feeling 
And I just wanna know with what I’m dealing 
Give me something that I can believe in

Pre-chorus:
All my fears I’ll let go
Open up body and soul
So if it’s just for tonight or for life

Chorus:
Right now I’m here with you I’m with you
You, I’m with you
I’m with you

Verse:
Boy
Usually my mind’s filled up with daydreams 
But that is not as interesting lately
When this is my reality

Oh
I’ve been caught up in some kind of love draught 
And I’ve been licking wounds with my own art 
But now that you’re my new muse it’s a fresh start

Pre-chorus:
All my fears I’ll let go
Open up body and soul
So if it’s just for tonight or for life

Chorus:
Right now I’m here with you 
I’m with you
You, I’m with you
You...
I’m with you
You...

(Instrumentalt/Ad lib stick)
       
Pre-chorus:
All my fears I’ll let go
Open up body and soul
So if it’s just for tonight or for life

Chorus:
Right now I’m here with you 
I’m with you
You, I’m with you
You...
You...

Outro:
As I hold you in my arms
I understand that there’s no harm 
In letting myself fall for you 
Right now I’m here with you

Here With You

‘Free Me’ mixes musical inspirations from pop, soul and jazz, and is the earliest written song on Alyzas debut EP ART. The song deals with themes of anxiety and depression, as the character “She” becomes a metaphor for the consuming and disruptive thoughts of eating disorder.

Music & Lyrics by Alyza

Verse:
Breaking from within
A crumble of my shattered heart just can’t find its way back home 
She’s winning

A pounding
My heads exploding
Trying to hold on to what’s not and what I’ve got and now the time is ticking

Pre-chorus:
What now
What have I done? 
Need to realize
This has only just begun

Chorus:
Free me
From these chains, from this pain 
Am I still breathing?
Free me

Hear me
As I cry, and I try 
But it’s suffocating 
Free me

Verse:
Tied up to my emotions
Inner voices screaming, crying, bleeding 
She’s my witness, she’s not leaving

Afflicted by my reflection
Will she make me fight another war against the mirror?

Pre-chorus:
What now
What have I done?
Need to realize
This has only just begun

Chorus:
Free me
From these chains, from this pain 
Am I still breathing?
Free me

Hear me
As I cry, and I try 
But it’s suffocating
Free me

Bridge:
It’s like I’m breathing under heavy water
Will I sink or will I ever float up
From this black sea of my mind (This black sea of my mind)

I try to take another step forward
But I’m dragged back in my heavy water
And seems like I don’t even mind (Like I don’t even mind)

Free me 
Hear me

Free me
From these chains, from this pain 
Am I still breathing, still breathing? 
Please help me breathe in

Chorus:
Free me
From these chains, from this pain 
Am I still breathing?
Free me

Hear me
As I cry, and I try 
But it’s suffocating 
Free me

Free Me

‘Get In Line’ is a song that’s become Alyza’s own self proclaimed anti-fuckboy anthem, with a lyrical theme of being pursued by someone whose player reputation precedes them. Musically Get In Line merges funk and rock’n’roll, with a twist.

Music & Lyrics by Alyza

Verse:
This ride is smoother than a Cadillac 
You better prove that you can handle that 
The way you talk, if you can’t back it up 
Then you’ll be sorry, next girl better luck

Pre-Chorus:
Listen up boy, don’t be a fool
I know all about you and your attitude, so

Chorus:
Get in, get in line, get back in line x3
If you wanna try your luck

Verse:
I bet you think you’re perfect for the task 
But it may turn out it’s too much to ask 
For you too keep up with me night and day 
At least that’s what I’ve heard people say

Pre.-chorus:
Listen up boy, I ain’t a fool
Don’t you try to treat me like I’m just a tool, so

Chorus:
Get in, get in line, get back in line x3 
If you wanna try your luck

Bridge:
I can see the signs, babe 
Don’t you try to hide, babe 
What you wanna do
I’ll give it all to you
If you go too far
If you break my heart
Boy I’ll make you see
You ain’t got nothing
You ain’t got no chance left with me

(Drum solo by Anton Avelin)

Pre-chorus:
Listen up boy, don’t be a fool
I know all about you and your kind of dude so

Chorus:
Get in, get in line, get back in line x3 
If you wanna try your luck on me

Get In Line

‘Don’t Ya’ is that one song that truly defined the direction of Alyzas music. With lyrics about relationships and trust, the clear focus of the song is the funky groove and attitude.

Music & Lyrics by Alyza

Verse:
Ever since I saw you
Things were crystal clear
Now I’ve got no other way to deal with this
Than to tell you how I feel

Felt it for a long time and I
Think it’s time to make a move
See no one knows me better than you
You really put me in the groove

Pre-chorus:
Now every time you’re gone I lose control 
’Cause I need you in my life and I love you so

Chorus:
Don’t ya, Don’t ya
Play me like the rhythm x4

Verse:
My female intuition
Is telling me everything’s gonna be just fine 
Still being miles away from you babe
Is giving me a hard time
Yes, it is (Mhmm)

A thousand inner visions
Getting stuck on my mind
Still I know better than to dwell on this 
Now that I know that you’re all mine

Pre-chorus:
Now every time you’re gone I lose control 
’Cause I need you in my life and I love you so

Chorus:
Don’t ya, Don’t ya
Play me like the rhythm x4
(Instrumental bridge)

Pre-chorus:
Now every time you’re gone I lose control 
’Cause I need you in my life and I love you so

Chorus:
Don’t ya, Don’t ya
Play me like the rhythm x3
Don’t ya, Don’t ya
Play me like the, play me like the, play me like the rhythm
Don’t ya, Don’t ya
Play me like the, play me like the, play me like the rhythm
Don't ya, Don't ya
Play me like the x6
Rythm

Don't Ya

My debut EP is finally out! ART is a collection of songs that have shaped my sound, and I'm so happy to share this with all of you.

ART starts off with the intro ‘Diva’. The first part is an improvisation from 2013, an idea that later became the inspiration for ‘Don’t Ya’. The second part is a reference to the already released music video for the same song, and of course to the title ART.

You can find the music video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKBxmaRqYSk&feature=emb_logo
