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.

Left Of Me
Gemini Syndrome Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What a stupid game to play
The shadows that haunt me
Hide in just the same way
Mother can you
Can you come and save me?
I can't see you
And I'm afraid to say
Nothing, nothing left of who I have been before
Broken pieces of me
Remind of something more
No one can take away
The things that I remember
The fire that used to burn
Is now a dying ember
Father will you
Will you try to help me
I wish I could
I wish I could help you see reality
Nothing, nothing left of who I have been before
Broken Pieces of me
Remind of something more
Choking, choking on the stories and lies you tell
Something is wrong
And now I stand beside myself
Nothing Left of Me
Nothing Left of Me
The puzzle's broken
It's scattered over the floor
The puzzle's broken on the floor
The puzzle's broken
It's missing pieces
And I was hoping
That the missing piece was me
No
Nothing, nothing left of who I have been before
Broken Pieces of me
Remind of something more
Choking, choking on the stories and lies you tell
Taunting this long and now
I stand beside myself
The puzzle's broken
Nothing Left of Me
The lyrics of Gemini Syndrome's song Left of Me touch on themes of fear, confusion, and the search for identity. The singer seems to be struggling with the shadows of their past and the idea that they have lost parts of themselves along the way. The verses alternate between pleas for help from the singer's mother and father and a grim acceptance of their current state - the broken puzzle pieces that make up their personality. The chorus repeats the idea that there is "nothing left of me" and that the singer is choking on the "stories and lies" they have been told.
The line "The puzzle's broken, it's scattered on the floor" is a striking visual representation of the singer's sense of fragmentation and lack of cohesiveness. They feel like they are missing pieces of themselves and cannot make sense of who they are. The idea of a missing puzzle piece being oneself is also poignant, suggesting that the singer has not yet found their place in the world.
Overall, Left of Me is a powerful and emotive song that explores the theme of identity crisis. The singer's desperation for guidance and their struggle to make sense of their fractured self will resonate with anyone who has ever felt lost or disconnected.
Line by Line Meaning
Focus elude me
I can't concentrate
What a stupid game to play
It's foolish to play this game
The shadows that haunt me
My fears follow me
Hide in just the same way
My fears conceal themselves
Mother can you
I need my mother
Can you come and save me?
Can you rescue me?
I can't see you
I can't physically see my mother
But I'm afraid to look away
I'm scared to turn my attention elsewhere
And I'm afraid to say
I'm too scared to speak up
Nothing, nothing left of who I have been before
I am nothing like my former self
Broken pieces of me
I am shattered and fragmented
Remind of something more
My past lingers in my brokenness
No one can take away
No one can erase
The things that I remember
My memories are mine to keep
The fire that used to burn
The passion that once drove me
Is now a dying ember
Is now fading away
Father will you
I need my father
Will you try to help me
Can you attempt to assist me?
I wish I could
I wish I could help myself
I wish I could help you see reality
I want to help you face the truth
Choking, choking on the stories and lies you tell
I am suffocating on your falsehoods
Something is wrong
Something is amiss
And now I stand beside myself
I am beside myself with anxiety
The puzzle's broken
The pieces no longer fit together
It's scattered over the floor
The pieces are strewn all over the ground
It's missing pieces
The puzzle is incomplete
And I was hoping
I hoped
That the missing piece was me
That I was the missing piece
Nothing Left of Me
I don't have much left
