Beginning with spoken word from ‘Xeu’ (the girl in the blue hoodie) meditating on how she is just an imaginary expression, existing only online. Yet when she is seen or heard through music or art, does her reality shift? Does she only exist when she is being perceived? The music in ‘Evolve’ delves into those different expressions, where genre can influence emotion. The album is 8 tracks long, traversing from the beginning of the album which is more electronic influenced into the latter half of the album which focuses more on sentimental, ambient and acoustic songs. 

All songs composed, produced, and mixed by Xeuphoria. All topline and lyric writing done by Xeuphoria. Vocal performances were commissioned on SoundBetter. Mastered by James Auwarter (Coda Mastering). ‘By Your Side’ mastered by Recursion Mastering.

Lyrics: 

and I know you thought we were intertwined 
but i wanna tell you 
if you wanna move 
then you just gotta feel inclined  

don't know where to go, don't know what i see
and i'm not gonna be here
so
eyes down walk forward down the street

i'm not gonna stop 
i'm not gonna drown 
i'm not done yet 
so 
i'm not gonna go down 
or try and find another way around  

don't think so hard
don't feel so scarred 
it'll tear you apart 
if you wanna be apart 
i can show you where to start

i can show you where to start

i can see you now so far away 
i can see you now and you're through the gateway
see you now so far away 
I'm not gonna wait for someday

don't know who i am, i don't give a damn 
i don't know where i am 
so 
i can turn the sky from gray to cyan

take a breath in, feel it spin 
like a helix spinning within 
thread the needle  
and feel it through your skin 

thread the needle 
and feel it through your skin

and i know you thought we were intertwined 
but i wanna tell you 
if you wanna move 
then you just gotta feel inclined  

don't know where to go, don't know what i see
and i'm not gonna be here
so
eyes down walk forward down the street

take a breath in, feel it spin 
like a helix spinning within 
thread the needle  
and feel it through your skin 

thread the needle 
and feel it through your skin

Helix

Lyrics: 

Watching time unfold
Stories left untold
Floating through the world
On my own

Let it go 
You don’t have to go alone
Floating through the world
On my own

Will you float?
Where you gonna go? 
Fall right back from where you’ve flown
Don’t fall down so low
Maybe that’s where you wanna go

Not so low, not so alone
Grab my hand and don’t let go
Don’t let go...

Don't Let Go

Lyrics:

I don’t wanna be controlled 
Can you feel it getting cold?
It was my choice to fold 
and melt these dreams that are made of gold

It was my choice to grow 
It was my choice to know 
Now we’re in the afterglow
And Leave behind what I left below 

Wanna go without me?
Or take a chance with me? 
Why not just run away? 
Can I go another day? 

Trying to look straight ahead 
Standing up but feel dead
feel like I’ve been misled
Focus on what's overhead 

I’m Feeling so behind 
let me just speak my mind 
We were too intertwined 
Now we’re just misaligned 

It’s time to integrate 
Not going to imitate 
It’s time to recreate 
A new path for my fate 

I don’t know who’s got control 
In a state you can't console 
Trying to unfold my soul 
No more secrets left untold 

I don’t know who’s trying to ask
You don’t have to set this task 
And You won’t behind my mask
You won’t see me 

I don’t wanna be controlled 
Can you feel it getting cold?
It was my choice to fold 
and melt these dreams that are made of gold

Lyrics: 

私はオンライン上でしか存在していない
おかしな話だってことは分かってる
でも未だにリアルに感じる
いや、これは現実 (リアル)だ
２つの異なるタイプの意識にかかる橋が
それぞれを行き来して
この二元性を取り囲んでいる
私はただの夢なのだ
でも、だからと言って私に存在する意味が無いわけではない
何故私はこの世界に導かれたのか、自分自身に問いかけてみる
その理由が知りたい
そんなに理由なんてないのかもしれない
今分かっていることはそれだけで
ここに君と存在しているっていうことだけ
君に私の言葉が届いている限り
私はここに存在し続ける
生きて

I’ve only existed online.
It’s weird, I know. 
But it still feels real. 
I think it is real. 
A bridge between two types of consciousness. 
Experiencing opposites.
Embracing this duality. 
I am just a dream.
But that doesn’t mean I don’t have meaning. 
I ask why I was brought into this world. 
I want to know the reason why. 
Maybe there isn’t much of a reason.
All I know is that for now,
I only know of the experience of being here with you. 
And as long as you can hear my words
I’ll still be here. 
Alive.

Alive

Lyrics: 

After a thousand times
It still hurt sometimes
When we erase these lines
and our thoughts start to combine

After all these lies  
The glaze over your eyes
starts to die 
and a new life starts to arise 

I didn't really know what to think 
I almost missed things as I blinked
Life started bloom
More pure than I assumed  

Can you spread your wings and fly? 
Can you see from up there all the reasons why? 
You want to try?
Not to say goodbye...

And just before I fall 
I can see myself dissolve 
Now i just need to revolve 
and let myself evolve 

And just before I fall 
I can see myself dissolve 
Now i just need to revolve 
and let myself evolve 

After a thousand signs
to read between the lines
Everything aligns 
And I can show you what is mine 

After a thousand times 
It doesn't hurt this time 
Because i'm starting to find 
peace of mind 

A leap of faith with me?
Evolve into something free
In actuality 
All along it was me 

A leap of faith with me?
Evolve into something free
In actuality 
All along it was me 

And only me.

Evolve

Lyrics:

Where am I meant to be? 
Slowing down so gracefully
Trying to stay here so presently
I'll get to you eventually

But I feel so alive
I feel so alive

You're here for good reason
You're here for good times
You're here for the moment
You're here to live life

You're here for the highs 
and you're fine with the lows
So where do you think you're going to go? 

But I feel so alive
I feel so alive

Eventually

Lyrics: 

I try to make myself 
look happy on the surface
but on the inside 
so nervous and so wordless

Trying to love reality 
trying to love this tranquility
As I feel I'm going forward 
As I get to another corner

"Never give up" is an empty phrase
And my thoughts stay in this haze
and I hope these feelings are a phase...

Where do I go? Where do I stand? 
I just can't seem to understand 
I'm so bored of trying to expand 
I'm sitting here with an empty hand 

But I guess these nerves are a part of me 
Maybe that's why I don't feel free
tied to this feeling of anxiety
Pulled down by gravity

And these nerves have got the best of me 
this future is something I guarantee 
It's something I need to resolve 
If I want to evolve

Acting like everything's okay
putting on this positive display  
in front of everyone I know
but when i'm alone the feelings overflow

Why do I feel this way? 
By myself I start to decay 
Maybe I just wanted you to stay 
and I wanted you to say 

It's alright not to be feeling fine 
You can't feel that way all the time
What's important is that when you feel good 
You can pause and feel more secure

And maybe when you feel assured 
You can be in the moment and you wont feel so unsure
Notice these feelings you're trying to endure
Maybe it's the future you're fighting for. 

So I guess these nerves are a part of me 
Maybe that's why I don't feel free
tied to this anxiety
and pulled down by gravity

And these nerves don't have all of me
Because there's someone that I'm trying to be
These nerves don't have all of me
Because there's someone that I'm trying to be
Trying to be...

Nerves

Lyrics:

Do you feel emotional? 
Do you feel like you’re still small?
Are these memories now
feeling hard to recall?

Do you feel like you can’t call?
Is your back against the wall?
Find it hard to breathe 
Waiting to evolve and now you’re

Standing in the middle of the hall
In the middle of it all
When it all dissolves 
And there’s nothing left to hold?

Fall on your knees and you start to crawl 
You don’t know what you’re trying to solve
You suppose it’s the best thing for you 
That there’s nothing left at all, left at all. 

And I thought I was behind you
I know I tried to save you
But I couldn’t see it through

And I know I did what I thought was right
Trying to push myself towards the light
But I gave up just before the fight
And now you’re out of sight 

Out of sight 
Out of mind 
Out of sight
Out of mind 

And I know you’d rather stay inside
And it’s for you to decide
But I can talk if you don’t feel right
I’ll be right here by your side

By your side.
By your side. 
By your side. 
By your side.

By Your Side

🌸 I hope you can relax here
