When asked about his anonymous appearance (((S))) replies: ”Ever since childhood I have had this deep desire inside to be invisible and loved at the same time,- It’s like my motto and ever since then I have worked very hard to obtain my goal. And this record is one of the results of these thoughts and desires”.
Please take good care of (((S))) - this new misty character on the scene. He needs it. Already he’s working hard on the material for his next album and the rumours tell of many more sad and beautiful, shady songs.

(((S))) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a message that won't do
Drew a picture in the sand
Wiped it out with your own hand
I wonder why
I am lost tonight
Mesmerized
Mesmerized alive
But it always is a lie
Rusted water into wine
Now it's eating you alive
Deep inside
Let it out
Betcha can't
I am lost tonight
Mesmerized
Mesmerized alive
Wonder why
I am lost tonight
Mesmerized
Mesmerized alive
Wonder why
I am lost tonight
Mesmerized
Mesmerized alive
Mesmerized
The lyrics of (((S)))'s song "Mesmerized" seem to be reflecting on a feeling of being lost, both within oneself and in the world around them. The opening lines suggest a frustration with communication, as the message they are trying to convey seems inadequate. The imagery of drawing a picture in the sand and immediately wiping it away suggests a lack of permanency or stability. The repetition of "I am lost tonight" and "Mesmerized" reinforces this feeling of aimlessness and being caught up in something beyond one's control.
The second half of the song introduces some additional elements - references to rusted water turning into wine and something eating you alive suggest a sense of decay or corruption. The statement "Let it out" seems to be an invitation to express emotions, though the follow-up "Betcha can't" is somewhat discouraging. In the end, the repetition of "Mesmerized" continues to reinforce the idea of being trapped or captivated by something, though it's unclear what that something might be.
Overall, "Mesmerized" is a moody and contemplative song that seems to be exploring feelings of confusion and disillusionment. The repetition of certain lines and phrases creates a hypnotic effect that fits well with the song's title.

This man deserves his flowers while he’s alive. He gave us straight bops in the early 2000s and all of them still has replay value in this day and age. He had such an ironic voice that blended well with Ashanti. They musically complimented each other so well.
