… Read Full Bio ↴Project Wyze was a Canadian rapcore band active in the early 2000s.
Originally formed as a hip hop duo in Sudbury, Ontario in 1988 by rappers Yas Taalat and Bobby McIntosh, the pair subsequently moved to London, Ontario after high school. In 1995, they were invited to freestyle with a punk band consisting of guitarists Adam Arsenault and Sasha Kosovic, bassist Elie Abdelnour and drummer Brad Dean, which evolved into an ongoing collaboration. In 1998, the group released its debut EP, Trapz of Poetic Poison, on an independent label. In 2000, they followed up with the album Only If I Knew.
They subsequently signed to Sony Music and released their major label debut, misfits.strangers.liars.friends, in 2001. That album spawned the Canadian hit singles "Nothing's What it Seems" and "Room to Breathe".
The band subsequently broke up, and Yas and Bobby went on to form the more conventional hip hop group Dead Celebrity Status.

Say wha say wha
Hey ya'll
Yas and Bobby
Ha ha ha ha
Just listen
Is this what you really wanted?
Let me introduce myself my name is tragedy
The kind that sneaks into your bedroom late at night
The kind that makes and airplane crash while it's in flight
I'm the type of stress that will make your heart skip a beat
The type that left you hungry and homeless on the street
The kind that makes you spin like cd rom
I took the life from your body till your spirit was gone
I'm the type that turn your fantasies to bad dreams
I'm the type that turn ideas into deadly schemes
I'm the kind that caused you pain until you blacked out
I'm the last thing you saw before you passed out
(Chorus)
Bang Bang now
Tell me what you need
Tell me how you feel when i take away your dreams
Bang Bang now
What you looking for
I'm that one standing behind closed doors
Bang Bang now
Bang Bang now
Bang Bang now
I'm that monster that hides under your bed
I'm the type that causes voices inside your head
I'm the kind of storm that left your crew sea-sick
I'm the kind that made your girlfriend belemic
I'm the type that makes you cross enemy lines
The type that brings weapons in the kids in Isreal and Palastine
The kind that brought your Quija board to life
The kind of panic that happens during a bank heist
I'm the type of tragedy you can't hide from
I'm the type of pain and torture you can die from
The kind of stranger that peeks over your fence
Last thing you saw before I took your innocence
(Chorus)x2
Yeah
Ready
Go
(Chorus)x2
In Project Wyze's song "Behind Closed Doors," the lyrics paint a picture of a cruel and sinister being named Tragedy. Tragedy is introduced to the listener as someone who causes pain and agony. It is said that Tragedy sneaks into people's bedrooms late at night and causes stress so severe that it can make their heart skip a beat. Tragedy is portrayed as someone who can turn dreams into nightmares and fantasies into bad dreams. The lyrics mention the pain Tragedy causes can be so intense that it can make innocent people suffer until they pass out. The chorus talks about Tragedy asking the listener what they need as it takes away their dreams and stands behind closed doors.
The lyrics are a metaphor for the struggles and tragedies people face in life. Tragedy is described in the most gruesome ways imaginable, from making airplanes crash to causing voices inside people's heads. Tragedy is also associated with real-life issues, such as the tension between Israel and Palestine, or the panic that happens during a bank heist. The lyrics suggest that Tragedy might be something we all have to confront at some point in our lives, hiding under our beds and peeking over our fences. The song is a powerful portrayal of how the cruelty and chaos of life can tear people down, and offers a reminder to be mindful of the struggles of those around us.
