Lazer has toured around the world and opened for such artists as Johnny Winter, Prince, Snowy White, Olie Brown as well as headlining in clubs and major festivals in his home country Israel.
Raised on the roots of rock and blues growing up in Connecticut in the USA, at age fifteen Lazer was playing in night clubs along the Connecticut shoreline and in New Haven with his group Legacy. At eighteen, Lazer went to study music at Skidmore College where he played and studied under famous blues men such as Milt Hinton (bass player for Louis Armstrong), Randy Brecker (Blood, Sweat and Tears), and Gene Bertoncini.
After college, Lazer returned to Connecticut to form his own rock and blues band called The Last Mavericks. The Last Mavericks became very popular and their first demo gained them a showcase with Atlantic Records. Toby Mofet from A&R at Atlantic took Lazer to Manhattan to record more material and wanted Lazer to go to Nashville to work with producer Gary Tallent (the bass player from The E-Street Band).
At this point Lazer was given a gig with the legendary Shlomo Carlebach. Shlomo invited Lazer to play with him in Israel, he quickly decided to move his life and his music to Israel. Lazer moved to Israel in 1994, married Elana and they live together with their 5 children in Beit Shemesh. For a decade Lazer toured around the world as lead guitar player and second singer for legendary Israeli jam band Reva L'Sheva.
Then he formed the power trio Yood and produced the record Passin' Over in 2007. The band toured Israel as well as US college campuses for three years. In recent years, Lazer has shifted his focus to a new project, the Lazer Lloyd Blues Band, which has successfully crossed over into the Israeli mainstream music scene, been featured on Israeli television, radio and in the international media.
Lazer plays live in Israel regularly as well as touring abroad monthly.
Torn
Lazer Lloyd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes I abuse myself Sometimes I lose myself
Sometimes I confuse myself
Is this the life that I dreamt of?
Is she the one that I'll always love?
Sometimes I drink too much
Just what am I supposed to do?
Should I really be lovin you?
I'm torn
How did I get here?
So torn
Why is it never clear?
Since I'm born it's always hard to decide
Some say it's just living
Others say it's just life
And I can't blame nobody else
What did I gain, what was the price?
Why I can't take my own advice
And I'm torn about loving you
So torn, don't know what to do
Since I'm born, it's always been hard to decide
Some say it's just living
Others say it's just life
Bein' torn... and I am, torn
Did somebody really die for me?
That doesn't sound like reality
Don't feel like someone made me sin
That's just the state I'm in
And I'm torn, how did I get here
So torn
Why's it never clear?
Since I'm born, it's always hard to decide
Some say it's just living, others say it's just life
Bein' torn... and I am
Since I'm born and I am
I'm torn, it's hard to decide
Some say it's just living, others say it's just life
Bein' torn... and I am

I'm torn
I'm in a state of confusion
How did I get here?
How did I end up in this situation?
So torn

Why is it never clear?
Why is the answer never straightforward?
Since I'm born it's always hard to decide
It has always been a challenge for me to make choices
Some say it's just living
Some believe that's just the way life is
Others say it's just life
While others believe that's how things go in life
And I can't blame nobody else
I cannot hold anyone else accountable
What did I gain, what was the price?
What did I receive and what did it cost me?
Why I can't take my own advice
Why is it difficult for me to follow my own guidance?

That doesn't sound like reality
It doesn't feel real to me
Don't feel like someone made me sin
I don't believe that someone influenced me to commit wrongdoings
That's just the state I'm in
It's just the condition I find myself in
Since I'm born, it's always hard to decide
I have always struggled with decision-making
Some say it's just living, others say it's just life
Opinions differ on whether it's the way of life or just how things are
Bein' torn... and I am, torn
Being conflicted, and that's exactly what I feel
I'm torn, it's hard to decide
I'm in conflict, finding it difficult to make a choice
Bein' torn... and I am
Being in a state of conflict, and that's where I'm at
Torn
