Anaria’s third official studio album, “Holding Cell” is a hard rock album which explores themes of isolation, breaking out of one’s own mind prison, and forging towards self-acceptance. The title track, “Holding Cell“ is about breaking free of the expectations placed upon us by society and the self. Ultimately, the song is about acknowledging but letting go of the past which keeps us from making progress towards our futures. The music video, filmed in-house, features the Three Fates from ancient religion and mythology as they spin the tapestry which binds together the cycle of birth, life, and death.
Audio/Video Production by: @wildthornproductions7476
With special drum performance for the video by Zachary King of Uncured
“The Three Fates“ cast includes the lovely Niki Cesar Trachea, Morgan Cameron, and Catherine C. Martinez

Lyrics:
I’ve been living in a nightmare world
Trapped inside my holding cell
Gotta smile so the world can’t tell
Is this real
Tired of living like I’m second rate
tired of looking for the hand of fate
The years just take
And then they slip away
Tired of wondering if I’m good enough
Or being told I need to toughen up
Swimming even though the water’s rough
I don’t need compliments or lies to bring me up.
Sacrifice every part of me
To the gods I cannot see
Like I’m living in a memory
Is this just a dream—
I’ve been living in a nightmare world
Trapped inside my holding cell
Gotta smile so the world can’t tell
Is this real because it feels like hell
Time for me to put the past behind
This old sadness doesn’t age like wine
The years go by
And we run out of time
Not gonna make apologies
Or give a self-indulgent speech
I know that I did right by me
Just be real with me
And leave me be
Sacrifice every part of me
To the gods I cannot see
Like I’m living in a memory
Is this just a dream—
I’ve been living in a nightmare world
Trapped inside my holding cell
Gotta smile so the world can’t tell
Is this real because it feels like hell
If you love me unconditionally,
You won’t spend your time judging me.
I said, I know I did right by me
And life’s too brief
To make apologies.
Sacrifice every part of me
To the gods I cannot see
Like I’m living in a memory
Is this just a dream—
I’ve been living in a nightmare world
Trapped inside my holding cell
Gotta smile so the world can’t tell
Is this real because it feels like hell
