Like you're all alone in your home, like you're born just to mourn... Mourn your life and your pain as you stand in the rain and feeling just way too damn mad. Like every part of you is dead, you're all lost inside your own head but then you remember how once you said you won't let anyone treat you like meat to pass throught that same old shit when from the pain you couldn't even sit. Do you remember... you had wishes, you had visions, you were on the mission to make your own decisions. To succed in this life as a girl, as a mother, as a wife with a job you love, do you remember how you had all planed and now you're back on the beggining feeling bad, feeling sad with a knife in your hand...
Do you feel sometimes like something's missing?
When you know you have to make a choice, you long for the prize but then you hear the voice telling you: Throw the dice. Even when you know the price of your wish is too big you go ahead and throw the brick into the trusted wall, you start to freak because you realized it was just one of their tricks to win you over, to see your border, to tourcher, to laugh, to destroy you...to say: Game over!
Do you feel sometimes like something's missing?
Do you feel like you stand in that same rain trying to find the point in this empty girl, tempty world as you want to be assured you will become someone you wished when you reached for this life, when they teached you how to proudly die as you tried to explain you want to fly... like a bird that tries to go away you keep on falling in the same old dirt, all your life from your birth 'til the curtains come down, when the life goes around, when everybody starts to bet how soon they'll hear the sound... the sound of death!
Do you feel sometimes like something's missing?
Like someone's missing... ...to call you, to hold you, to be your someone who'll open the door, calm the war inside your head, lift you of the floor and tell you're not dead! Do you feel you need that someone?
You know you have all your life in front of you, but still you need to feel something, anything, just a thing which will motivate you to live, be real and kill all the loneliness which constantly reveals.
Do you feel sometimes like something's missing?
You miss the kissing and racing with time. All your life you're been chasing love like your own shadow, in the end to be shallow, not realizing you need it like a yellow sun to give you the bright light so you could know which way is right. Do you need someone to hold your hand, to show you the way when you reach dead end. To send you a message which starts with dear... ...just to tell you: I wish you were here.
Do you feel like something's missing?
-bok ekipa! Cijelu pjesmu sam napiso jučer u nekih 15-20 minuta u naletu inspiracije, pošto ovakva struktura pjesme nije moj stil nije ni toliko uspješna...
-ako slučajno ostavite komentar, nije potrebna kritika ove pjesme (bila ona pozitivna ili negativna) već me zanima vaše viđenje ove teme, tj. vaš odgovor na pitanje (ipak je ovaj blog posvećen više filozofiranju i zajebanciji nego osobnim stvarima)

see ya all!
Pozdrav svima! Ovaj post je posvećen glazbi i jednoj od mojih osobno najdražih grupa, stoga je trenutno promijenjen dizajn bloga do slijedećeg posta.
System Of A Down je kalifornijski muzički bend, osnovan 1994. godine. Njihova muzika obuhvaća metal, nu metal, hardcore metal, te armensku narodnu muziku. Ime System of a Down potječe od Darona Malakiana, jednog od članova grupe, koji je napisao stih "Victims of A Down", gdje "A" znači Amerika.

(U to se vrijeme u Libanonu vodio građanski rat)
Malo o prošlosti grupe:
1993. dva muzičara koja su do tada bila nepoznata (i na lokalnoj muzičkoj sceni) su se upoznali slučajno na snimanju spota za druge bendove.
Veza između njih uspostavljena je odmah, zato što su imali isti pogled prema muzici, politici i kulturi. Nedugo zatim, Serj Tankian i Daron Malakian odlučili su osnovati zajednički bend, koji su nazvali "Soil". Prilikom sljedećeg snimanja upoznali su Shava Odadjiana. Shavo je uspio pristupiti bendu, dokazavši da je sposoban basista i tako postavši stalan član. Prvoodabrani bubnjar, Andy Khatchadurian, je brzo zamijenjen sa Johnom Dolmayanom.
Svi članovi benda dijele sličnu etničku prošlost; Serj i John su rođeni u Lebanonu, Shavo je rođen u Jermeniji, a Daron ima jermensko porijeklo. Ovo je doprinjelo da članovi benda sviraju muziku sa primjesama jermenskog folklora. Nakon nekog perioda bend odlučuje promijeniti ime u nešto što bi odgovaralo muzici koju oni sviraju. Odlučuju se za ime "System Of A Down", koje je bazirano na pjesmi koju je Daron napisao, pjesma se zvala "Victims Of A Down." Treći demo projekat je imao veliki uspjeh. Projekat je producirao muzički urednik Rik Rubin. Pjesme su pjevane u Viper Room clubu u Holivudu. Iako svi članovi planiraju solo projekte, bend nastupa u istom sastavu.

Different thoughts, different days
Different people, different ways
Same explanations, same recall
Same events, but different soul.
Why are people always born
To destroy the feelings that we know?
Why are dreams in that way torn?
Why do people always go?
Why do they expect so much
From the children that we are?
Why does it hurt when we are touched?
Why must love be so far?
Simple doesn't exist any more
Emotions are lost, emotions are ignored
Peace is a methaphore, real is war
Where did the world go when happiness is stored?
The light we see is just a black illusion
The world we observe is just a blury fog
The choices we are given are just a big confusion
As our trusted friends are just an angry dog.
We throw the bread so we're not lost
As the birds eat all we throw
Fuck the world when we are ghosts
All we have is pain and sorrow.
The road we walk on...is a road to nowhere
The sky we seek is no-end border
But still, the world doesn't care
For us, for trying and for order
Where did our days go
Where's our life, our youth
Where's our game, our show
Our fun, our smiles –I wanna know.
Our lost wishes are now forgotten hope
Our hand reaches and grabs the rope
The rope of death straight from hell
We can't see the path, just the soul we're about to sell.
Beggining of the end has just begun
Not in the sense that's on your mind
Holding a rope, pointing a gun
That's not the answer, answer you'll find
Don't let the death be the option
The option which takes place in your head
Don't let them to be the winners
Don't let them to make you dead
Still living in my past...
Still finding lost life...
Still seeking under the dust...
Still pulling silver knife...
from my back...
Still wanting a life back...
Still dreaming of a black light...
Still turning away my neck...
Still trying to stay in sight...
From your eyes...
Still, still, an empty word
Never again, what a cruel world
Why, why, unanswered question
Explanation is never mentioned
Reaching to forget, trying to contrive...
Don't want to let to make me believe
I wanted to met new life which I'd like to give
Direction how to get the answer why we live.
We're living in a lie
We're dreaming of a death
We're asking why
Why must we die
We're dreaming of a path
We're climbing so high
And yet, we can't stop to cry
We're dreaming of a death...
Like all hope is gone
Like a puppets on a stream
Like we're being controlled
Like we're living in our dream
Not a dream, more a nightmare
Like a dark night that's in our eyes
In a world which ignores, in a world which doesn't care
In a world of disappointing, in a world of lies...
And if you find the darkest light
In a world you've never been
You'll know which way is right
You'll know what I mean.
You'll know the truth of us
You'll know what's the point
You'll see you can trust
Head and tails on the coin.
Let me be your guide
Let me show you it's safe to walk
Don't you run, don't you hide
I know a place where we can talk...>
Aerials
Life is a waterfall,
We're one in the river,
And one again after the fall.
Swimming through the void
We hear the word,
We lost ourselves,
But we find it all?
Cause we are the ones that want to play,
Always want to go,
But you never want to stay,
And we are the ones that want to chose,
Always want to play,
But you never want to lose.
Aerials, in the sky,
When you lose small mind,
You free your life.
Life is a waterfall,
We drink from the river,
Then we turn around and put up our walls.
Swimming through the void
We hear the word,
We lost ourselves,
But we find it all?
Cause we are the ones that want to play,
Always want to go,
But you never want to stay,
And we are the ones that want to chose,
Always want to play,
But you never want to lose.
Aerials, in the sky,
When you lose small mind,
You free your life.
Aerials, so up high,
When you free your eyes,
Eternal prize.
Aerials, in the sky,
When you lose small mind,
You free your life.
Aerials, so up high,
When you free your eyes,
Eternal prize.
Innervision
I have a home,
Longing to roam,
I have to find you,
I have to meet you,
Signs of your face,
Slowing your pace,
I need your guidance,
I need to seek my inner vision,
Inner Vision.
My pupils dance,
Lost in a trance,
Your sacred silence,
Losing all violence,
Stars in their place,
Mirror your face,
I have to find you,
I need to seek my inner vision,
Inner vision, inner vision.
It's never too late to reinvent the bicycle,
A smile brings forth energy or life,
Giving you force.
It's never too late to reinvent the bicyclcle,
A smile brings forth energy or life,
Giving you force.
Vision.
There's only one true path in life.
The road that leads to all leads to one.
There's only one true path in life.
The road that leads to our hearts.
Superstition taking all of us for a ride
Mimes overtaken by the signs of the Right
The bombs are falling overhead with no sight
While you are talking all detached, so tell us
Where you're going to the bottom
Do you hear us we are rotting?
We're going down in a spiral to the ground
No one, no one's gonna save us now!
Ceremonies have killed religions for they provide
The masked comforts to delusionals, they're all in fright
The true believer's head was bathed in sunlight
While you are walking all detached, so tell us
Where you're going to the bottom
Do you hear us we are rotting?
We're going down in a spiral to the ground
No one, no one's gonna save us now, not even god!
No one saved us, no one's gonna save us
Where do you expect us to go when the bombs fall?
Where do you expect us to go when the bombs fall?
Where do you expect them to go when the bombs fall?
Where do you expect us to go when the bombs fall?
Superstition taking all of us for a ride
Mimes overtaken by the signs of the Right
The bombs are falling over our head with no sight
While you are talking all detached, detached, detached, detached, detached,
We're going down in a spiral to the ground
No one, no one's gonna save us now! (not even god!)
No one saved us, no one saved us
No one saved us, no one's gonna save us now
Where do you expect us to go when the bombs fall?
If Everyone Cared
From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
[Chorus:]
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
And I'm singing
Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
(I'm alive)
[Chorus x2]
And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
When nobody died...
[Chorus]
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day when nobody died
