Originating from Los Angeles, CA, in early 2010, the band has been converting listeners with their strong stage performances and cohesive content, filling a gap that has been lacking in contemporary, mainstream music.

Comprised of vocalist Aaron Nordstrom (former guitarist for OTEP), guitarist Mike Salerno, bassist Alessandro Paveri, and drummer Brian Steele Medina (former TOIZ w/ Ivan Moody of Five Finger Death Punch) the group has made a strong foothold on the local LA hard rock scene and has begun to make advances into the rest of the nation.

First opening shows on the legendary Sunset Strip with such known acts as Nonpoint, Murderdolls, and The Dreaming, Gemini Syndrome has been packing shows at the renowned Roxy Theater, blazing a path for other local talents. Building from the momentum of these local successes, Gemini Syndrome has continued converting new fans through regional shows and multiple national tours, including a coveted spot on Wayne Static's Pighammer tour in Fall 2011. This natural progression of organically grown attention has enabled the band to consistently move forward and gain strong recognition.

Gemini Syndrome independently released their debut EP, "I", in late January, 2011. Produced by Mikey Doling (Snot, Soulfly, Channel Zero), this EP was the catalyst that led to their signing with Warner Bros. Records in late August 2011. Gemini Syndrome's debut full length album "Lux" released on September 10, 2013.

Choices
Gemini Syndrome Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hope you know how much I love you...
As much in my life as in my death...
I would give you everything I have...
I would give you my last breath...

I could never leave you, here to die alone
But if you choose to walk away from me...
You choose it on your own

(The evidence has shown...)
History's a teacher...
No one ever learns...
Icarus has shown me the sun burns!

I could never leave you, here ti die alone
But if you choose to walk away from me...
You choose it on your own

My atrocity is that I don't care
All the empathy that was once here is gone
So, so long...

I am not a child
For what I couldn't do, I focused on the prize
Focused on the prize...
And I forgot you... (I forgot you!)

You mean everything to me...
You're the only thing I see...
You mean everything to me...
You're the only thing I see..
You mean everything to me...
You're the only thing I see...
You mean everything to me...
You're the only thing I see...
You mean everything to me...
You're the only thing I see...
You mean everything to me...

I could never leave you...
But if you choose to walk away from me...
You choose that on your own...

Sorry that I love you...
I wish I didn't have to...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gemini Syndrome's song, Choices, depict a narrator who is deeply in love with someone and is willing to give the person everything, even their last breath. The singer expresses his unwillingness to let the person die alone, but at the same time, if the person chooses to walk away, the singer will not stop them, and they will have to face the consequences of their decision alone. The singer acknowledges that history is a teacher, but no one ever learns their lesson. They reference Icarus, who flew too close to the sun and burned, as an example of how people often repeat the same mistakes.

The singer then admits to a personal flaw: their lack of empathy. They no longer care about the person they love, and they have forgotten about them in pursuit of a prize. Nevertheless, the person remains the most important thing in the singer's life, and they cannot bear the thought of leaving them. While the singer expresses regret at the end, they also apologize for loving the person, a poignant and contradictory sentiment that suggests the complexity of their relationship.
