The creation of ‘Chrysalis’ was a retreat from a seemingly
endless string of unfortunate events, a cocoon from which
Zanias could weave hope from hopelessness. In each of
its eight songs she has engineered unique worlds to
express alternate facets of the modern human experience,
from burnout and the toxicity of capitalism to processing
death and the inherent isolation of personal trauma.

Written and recorded between Berlin and the rainforest of
Queensland, Australia, the sound design of ‘Chrysalis’
reflects the rich biodiversity of the latter environment,
where she drew much of her inspiration. Her voice shifts
and morphs into ghostly, alien forms between catchy
hooks that plant this album firmly in the ‘pop’ genre,
without losing the underground rawness and lyrical depth
for which she is known.

With her third full-length album, Zanias is expressing her
truest form thus far, fusing her seemingly discordant
influences into a genre-defying electronic artpop, as dark
and evocative as it is ethereal and uplifting.

NAKED CROSS

Lyrics:

Every heartbeat calls your name
Lost in this fire I’m caught in the flame
Caught in a moment time stands still
Every glance ignites the thrill.

"This burning flame inside
Drawing me closer like the tide
In the depths of our embrace
Time fades away and I find my place"

Every flower play your name
Lost in passion I’m caught in the flame
With every love I feel the fire
Lost in your gaze consumed by desire.

Desire

Lyrics:

Just a fleeting moment of infinity
I stand enchanted lost in the view.
The crescent moon softly grins
As you fade into the shadows.
... And then the dark
... And then the dark.

A tranquil silent instant lingers
A frozen memory carved in the air.
Tears distort the world before me
Eyes like sunken wrecks below.
... And then the dark
... And then the dark.

Just a scratch across eternity
I stand frozen watching still.
The dawn like a silent film
Reveals the story of your vanishing.
... And then the dark
... And then the dark.

A tranquil silent instant lingers
A frozen memory carved in the air.
Tears distort the world before me
Eyes like sunken wrecks below.
... And then the dark
... And then the dark.
