about

The Way of LVRA.

LVRA arrives in 2023 with a frenetic, molten new single and video 'anxiety'. Taken from her upcoming project, soft like steel, 'anxiety' moves between undulating, ethereal whispers and LVRA’s trademark industrial, dark, synth-driven production.

“I've lived my life as an overthinker, my mental balance completely tipped over by even the most miniscule of events. Music allows my brain to focus on something else, and creating gives me something to channel the energy into. Often I'm trying to turn negative emotions into a source of strength and I feel like anxiety was borne out of my desire to live and accept this part of me.”

lyrics

I like my music loud
So they don’t notice me
Drifting in and out
Shifting frequency
This skin I wear is heavy
The pressure it gets to me
I see nothing but eyes
Close them to feel alright
I don’t know where to put my feet
Until I see those bright lights
Yeah I don’t know what I want
Least I know what I don’t like
So let me bathe inside the comfort of my mind
I can see me in the crowd yeah, yeah, yeah
Tryna call my name out loud yeah yeah yeah
Can you see me?
Can you see me?
Do you like to feel,
ANXIETY?
Anxi-, Anxi-, eh
Anxi-, Anxi-, eh
Anxi-, Anxi-, eh
Do you like to feel, Anxiety?
Funnily enough
It's kind of tough
To say you’re not okay girl,
When the music stops
It's so abrupt
Feel my heart jump away, I
Like to hide in waves
Wrap around me like a drape
Tell me why I feel so great
Why I can’t have this every day
I can see me in the crowd yeah, yeah, yeah
Tryna call my name out loud yeah yeah yeah
Can you see me?
Can you see me?
Do you like to feel,
ANXIETY?
Anxi-, Anxi-, eh
Anxi-, Anxi-, eh
Anxi-, Anxi-, eh
Do you like to feel, Anxiety?

Do I seem too cold?
Was it a mistake
What I’d have to do
What I’d have to say
Can you let me go
I want to erase
Everything I’ve done
Everything I’ve done
Everything I’ve done
Everything I’ve done
Everything I’ve done
Everything I’ve done
Everything I’ve done
Everything I’ve done
I want to erase,
Everything I’ve done
