1) Symmetry, a new project from the Italians Do It Better producer Johnny Jewel (of Chromatics and Glass Candy fame) and his longtime collaborator Nat Walker.
2) Symmetry, a rapper from Providence, Rhode Island.
3) Symmetry were a 4-piece progressive metal band, based in Bristol & Reading, UK.
4) Symmetry are a 4-piece progressive pop/rock band based in Los Angeles, USA
1) Over the span of thirty-seven tracks, Symmetry’s “Themes for an Imaginary Film” embraces the elegance of European noir, cut with a lean & violent American razor. Directly in your face & breathing down your neck one minute, & escaping beyond the night sky the next. The attention given to color & detail on these recordings is more graphic than musical. More visual than aural. With no flashy virtuosity to clutter the mood, the album’s pulse thrives on the empty pockets of space left in the wake of throbbing bass & the faint flicker of electro candlelight. Minimal, strict, & always in motion, there’s an oppressive overtone throughout the record that winds itself tight as a clock.
2) The 22-year-old rapper, born and raised in North Providence, threw away an acceptance letter to a university in Florida, opting out of his initial plans to obtain a degree focusing on his animation skills. It was a bold move, and one that he made in hopes of furthering his other passion — music. To date, the move has paid off. Releasing his first cd, Cat Drop Complex, in May 2005, Symmetry sold nearly 1,000 copies out of his back pack. The 19-track effort helped him gain attention in areas such as Germany, Seattle and Maryland — all of which have hosted him for several shows — and afforded him the opportunity to tour in Canada with indy rap favorites Busdriver and Motion Man. On March 2, 2006, he released Dusty Pickup, his second full-length CD . The 18-track album is the latest release from Poorly Drawn People, the Rhode Island-based hip hop label. Produced entirely by label mate dox, Dusty Pickup represents a more personal, mature effort from Symmetry. Shunning the cliches that have become staples of hip hop music, Symmetry tackles concepts including failed love, a friend’s drug addiction and his own mortality.

3) Symmetry were a 4-piece progressive metal band, based in Bristol & Reading, UK.
Clevery arranged vocal melodies have drawn comarisons to such contempary acts as Tool and Earthtone9, whilst the underlying music is reminiscent of the epic riffs laid down by Pelican and Cult of Luna.
Signing to UK Label, Iapetus Recordings (The Ocean, Paul Marshall, Montana) in early 2006, their debut MCD ‘This is not the end. It is the beginning. You cannot falter now.’ was released to an excellent response from the press.
“Impressive, epic clout… an ambitious debut EP.” KKK - Kerrang
“A new breed of UK talent on show here.” 7 / 10 - Rock Sound
“A sterling debut effort.” 4 / 5 - Big Cheese
“This is special. Let Symmetry apprehend your ears for 20 minutes. You wont need persuading again.” 9 / 10 - Sound Devastation
Having gained a notorious respect for their energetic and crushing live performances, Symmetry embarked on their debut UK tour in July 2005 alongside fellow UK stunners, Bossk. The tour was sponsored by Rock Sound magazine.
The band recorded an exclusive track for Rock Sound magazine, titled ‘Let’s Just Wait And See What Happens, It May Not Be As Bad As You Think’. Showing an obvious progression from the MCD, the band have developed a darker sound and now use a mixture of aggressive and clean vocals to widen their musical spectrum.
In September 2006, the band announced that they would be going on a short-term break whilst members relocated from Bristol back to their native Reading. With demos already recorded for their debut full-length, the band will return in 2007.

4) Relentless. It’s the word that best describes Symmetry, a progressive pop/rock band based out of Los Angeles. Striving to touch one’s heart and soul through their music, this innovative band consists of Michael Campbell (vocals), Jared Hara (guitar), Will Weiner (bass) and Max D'Anda (drums). These four accomplished and determined musicians fatefully met each other in California and aim to inspire hope through their powerful music.

Symmetry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fake your way through a life you created for yourself
In the end you'll hate your ways when they leave you empty
Face the Violence
End the Silence
Heal the voice you won't get behind
We're overdue for this discussion
Hang on for
Dear life
It's only on the inside
Surrender
Our lives
I won't be held by all your dreams
In a way
Everything you needed has been
Burnt away
Nothing else to do but wonder
Selfish has-been
Cursing every
Single one of your better chances
Why did I
Expect that I
Would ever be part of this man-made lie
Hang on for
Dear life
It's only on the inside
Surrender
Our lives
I won't be held by all your dreams
Because everything you wanted was killing me from the inside
The first verse reflects on the theme of authenticity and self-deception. It addresses the idea of living a fabricated life that one has constructed for themselves, only to realize eventually that it leaves them feeling hollow and unfulfilled. The lyrics imply a sense of disillusionment with one's own choices and actions, suggesting that pretending and pretending only leads to a sense of emptiness and self-dissatisfaction.
The chorus, "Face the violence, end the silence, heal the voice you won't get behind," seems to urge the listener to confront their inner turmoil and confront the issues that they have been avoiding. The mention of severing lines to a blood-soaked heart evokes a sense of hurt and betrayal, possibly hinting at the consequences of ignoring one's true emotions and desires.
The second verse delves deeper into the concept of holding on to dear life internally while refusing to be controlled by others' expectations and aspirations. This can be interpreted as a call for personal liberation and breaking free from toxic influences that prevent one from living authentically and independently.
The closing lines of the song, "Because everything you wanted was killing me from the inside," serve as a poignant conclusion to the narrative, highlighting the destructive nature of pursuing external validation and desires at the expense of one's inner peace and well-being. Overall, the song portrays a powerful message about the importance of self-discovery, authenticity, and breaking free from societal pressures to live a truly fulfilling life.

Beloved existence

In a way
To some extent
Everything you needed has been
All that you required is no longer present
Burnt away
Destroyed completely
Nothing else to do but wonder
No other option but to ponder
Selfish has-been
Formerly self-centered individual
Cursing every
Blaming every
Single one of your better chances
Every opportunity you had to improve
Why did I
What made me
Expect that I
Anticipate that I
Would ever be part of this man-made lie
Could ever be involved in this fabricated deceit
Because everything you wanted was killing me from the inside
Because all your desires were causing harm to me internally

I have a question and idk if this sounds weird but i feel like i have endless intrusive thoughts about HOCD when i abstain from masturbation and the main thing i’d like to say is that also life starts to feel very weird and it gives me weird vibes but wherever i look on the internet there is nothing for this - this is all when i stop masturbating
corkies 123
Idk what I got, everything I do has to be even, like small movements or twitches in my hands or anything. If I don’t do I 2,4 or 8 times on both hands I get uncomfortable.
