Delete Us Forever EP (CD)
Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
Ava in the Dark’s debut EP “Delete Us Forever”. Comes in a protective card sleeve.
A mix of soundscapes from indie dream-pop, to minimal house, electropop to alt-rock. ‘Delete Us Forever’, Ava in the Dark’s debut EP is a glimpse into the soul of lead-singer, Kiera. It’s about mental health in adolescence, people-pleasing, social pressures and self-love, presented in a nostalgic era-bound frame, sometimes ironically.
Inspired by the music of her childhood, aka Wolf Alice, Nothing But Thieves, London Grammar and Lana Del Ray, the EP mixes current influences such as Pale Waves, Billie Eilish, The 1975, Melanie
Martinez and The Weeknd to create a retrospective, yet current juxtaposition of sound.
Championed by BBC Radio 6, BBC Introducing West Yorkshire, BBC Radio Wales, Amazing Radio and XS Manchester.

about
The EP ends with ‘Bad Friends’, a sassy inner-monologue, using songwriting as a banishment for toxic thoughts. The track is saying, ‘Not everyone will like you, some people will even go to extreme lengths to see you fail and mentally torturing you to persuade themselves that they’re better’. The last lyric in the song “Does it kill you to know that you’re defeated?” is the refusal to be defined by people’s toxic thoughts, a silver lining for the struggle and trauma of the entire EP.
lyrics
Girl I see you testing me
We’re bad friends
She’s getting on my nerves
Tell me, tell me,
How do you think this works?
They’re beginning to see you’re a liar,
Feeding them with your words
Living in a dream
Happy as can be
But you didn’t know
You’re trapped in my shadow
Believe it, believe it
Hate it, we hate it
I’m trying, to fight it
You’re pulling my hair
Girl I see you testing me
We’re bad friends
She’s getting on my nerves
I’m not trying to be perfect
Like you, like you
It’s not even worth it,
Like you, like you
I think I worry
I know what you’re all about
Forget what they say
You’re getting on my nerves
I don’t like it when you smile
Turn your wires inside out
Believe it, believe it
Hate it, we hate it
I’m trying, to fight it
You’re pulling my hair
Girl I see you testing me
We’re bad friends
She’s getting on my nerves
I’m not trying to be perfect
Like you, like you
It’s not even worth it,
Like you, like you
I like it when you cry
I got this anxious feeling
Make a wish and say goodbye
In the morning I’ll be gone
Girl I see you testing me
We’re bad friends
She’s getting on my nerves
I’m not trying to be perfect
Like you, like you
It’s not even worth it,
Like you, like you
Talking about it
Makes my head turn
Does it kill you to know that you’re
Defeated?
