1 - Pop female … Read Full Bio ↴There are at least two artists by the name of Syria;
1 - Pop female singer from Italy
2 - Christian Dörge's Darkwave band from Germany
1. Cecilia Cipressi, the real name of Syria, was born in Rome in 1977. Her artistic debut was at the San Remo festival in 1995, and since then, she's been participating in that festival with different results. The same 1995 won in the cathegory of "Sanremo Giovani" with Loredana Berte's song Sei Bellissima; in 1996 won in the cathegory of "Giovani", this time with the track Non ci sto and she recorded her first album. In 1997 she participates once again, in the category "Big", and she got the third position with the song Sei tu. In 1997 she recorded her second album too, called L'angelo.
After Station Wagon (1998) she sang the italian version of the song Reflection on Mulan's Disney Picture soundtrack. In 2000 she wrote her first text, in collaboration with Marina Rei: the song was Maledetto il giorno and the album Come una goccia d'acqua, produced by Biaggio Antonacci.
Then came Le mie favole (2002), with many self compositions. In 2003 she went to the Festival of San Remo and sang Jovanotti's song L'amore e'. The same year a reedition of the album Le mie favole with this new song plus Aria came out. Her last album is Non e' peccato (2005). Nowadays she's making theater, Chiamatemi Kowalsky.

2. SYRIA was formed in 1993, based around Christian Dörge. Inspired to begin with a dark, slow-down-goth-sound (in the early days...) with electro and ethno elements. Subsequently (since 2005) teaming up with Zasu and Stina Suntland, who also formed their own band THE ATOMIC NURSES, the group returned with trip-hop, surreal chansons and experimental electro-pop things, which initially yielded the albums 'The Return Of Saturn' (2006), 'The Kafka Syndrome' (2007) and 'The Grotesque' (2008, this one as part of the 4-CD-Box 'Not A Nice Party. A Collection')) - like all SYRIA records produced, arranged and mixed by Christian Dörge himself.
Describing the years 2005 - 2009 as the most extraordinary trip of SYRIAs existence, the band was inspired to collect a ride down the memory lane, mainly to see these gifts remain in action, meaning: On March 20th 2009, Black October-Records released the 44-track double-album 'The Learner's Dictionary Of Style - Best Of 2005 - 2009' with eight new un-released songs included, comprising the classical and the traditional SYRIA and watching out on some future sounds and topics. This album was accompanied by the exclusive and all-new 8-track mini-album 'First Person Shooter'.
And in October 2009, the band released a second 44-track compilation: 'The Return Of The Cybernauts - Best Of 2005 - 2009, vol. 2', with seven new, un-released songs on the list. Now, tickets are open for the writing and recording of the 11th SYRIA studio-album - production started in January 2009 as a daytrip to the Marlene-dressed-as-electric-widow themepark; recordings and mixings were finished in the meantime, showing up that in the end, the end is still not the end. This new album will be released in May 2010.

Aria
Syria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rubare fiori dal cortile
Ma non è semplice
Si rischia spesso di inciampare
Sopra un grosso sasso e farsi male
Credimi sarebbe inutile
Se per me oramai
Cadere è l'abitudine
Da anni seguo lui
Mi vesto con i suoi guai
Mi vanno stretti si
Ma pagano bene
Così alla moda che non cambiano mai
Aria, tu sei come l'aria
Come vuoti a perdere io e te
Travolta da 1000 molecole che sanno d'aria
Tu sei come l'aria
Così capaci a mordere
Ti stringi e non lo sai
E poi dai,
Continua in direzione sud
E troverai
Quei fiori che volevi da strappare
Ci riuscirai anche tu
Si che ci riuscirai anche tu
Credimi forse un po' mi guasta
Girarti in testa coi dubbi nella testa
Girarti in testa coi dubbi nella testa
Nella testa
Aria, tu sei come l'aria
Come vuoti a perdere io e te
Travolta da 1000 molecole che sanno d'aria
Tu sei come l'aria
Così capaci a mordere
Ti stringi e non lo sai
Il male che mi fa
Aria
Aria
Aria
Ti stringi e non lo sai
Credimi sarebbe inutile
Se per me oramai
Cadere è l'abitudine
Aria, tu sei come l'aria
Come vuoti a perdere io e te
Travolta da 1000 molecole che sanno d'aria
Tu sei come l'aria
Così capaci a mordere
Ti stringi e non lo sai
Il male che mi fa
Il male che mi fa
The song "Aria" by Syria talks about the difficulty of achieving goals in life. The first stanza talks about trying to steal flowers from a courtyard, but sometimes it's not easy and there's a risk of stumbling and getting hurt. The singer of the song seems to have grown used to falling, as it has become a habit for them. The next stanza talks about following someone for years and wearing the same clothes as them, even though they don't fit well. However, it pays well and it's fashionable. The chorus then compares the singer to the air, which is capable of biting and hurting, even without realizing it. The singer is too caught up in their own struggles to notice the harm they're doing to others, comparing it to the air. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus.

Sai credevo fosse facile
I thought it would be easy
Rubare fiori dal cortile
To steal flowers from the courtyard
Ma non è semplice
But it's not simple
Si rischia spesso di inciampare
One often risks stumbling
Sopra un grosso sasso e farsi male
On a big rock and getting hurt
Credimi sarebbe inutile
Believe me it would be pointless
Se per me oramai
If for me now
Cadere è l'abitudine
Falling is a habit
Ma c'è un perchè
But there is a reason
Da anni seguo lui
I have been following him for years
Mi vesto con i suoi guai
I dress in his troubles
Mi vanno stretti si
They're tight on me, yes
Ma pagano bene
But they pay well
Così alla moda che non cambiano mai
So fashionable that they never change
Aria, tu sei come l'aria
Air, you are like air
Come vuoti a perdere io e te
Empty and lost, you and me
Travolta da 1000 molecole che sanno d'aria
Overwhelmed by 1000 molecules that smell like air
Così capaci a mordere
So capable of biting
Ti stringi e non lo sai
You tighten and you don't know it
E poi dai, Continua in direzione sud
And then come on, continue southward
E troverai
And you will find
Quei fiori che volevi da strappare
Those flowers you wanted to pick
Ci riuscirai anche tu
You will succeed too
Si che ci riuscirai anche tu
Yes, you will succeed too
Credimi forse un po' mi guasta
Believe me, maybe a little, it bothers me
Girarti in testa coi dubbi nella testa
Turning in your head with doubts in your head
Nella testa
In the head
Il male che mi fa
The harm it does to me
Aria
Air
Ti stringi e non lo sai
You tighten and you don't know it
Il male che mi fa
The harm it does to me
Aria
Air
Aria
Air
Aria
Air
Ti stringi e non lo sai
You tighten and you don't know it
Credimi sarebbe inutile
Believe me it would be pointless
Se per me oramai
If for me now
Cadere è l'abitudine
Falling is a habit
Aria, tu sei come l'aria
Air, you are like air
Come vuoti a perdere io e te
Empty and lost, you and me
Travolta da 1000 molecole che sanno d'aria
Overwhelmed by 1000 molecules that smell like air
Così capaci a mordere
So capable of biting
Ti stringi e non lo sai
You tighten and you don't know it
Il male che mi fa
The harm it does to me
Il male che mi fa
The harm it does to me
