SS eventually caught the attention of record labels, and in 2004, their 1st international debut, "Premeditated", was released on Sector 9 Studios (US) and Out of Line (Europe). To promote the release, SS departed for an extensive North American tour with Imperative Reaction. In November of 2004, SS took their act to Germany to perform at a series of "Out of Line Electro Festivals" with Hocico, Icon of Coil, God Module and Spetsnaz.
In 2005 SS moved to Metropolis Records, to release their next album, "Postscript", showcasing the band's knack for writing some of the most emotional electronic music in the genre. After following the release of "Postscript" with a US tour, SS is once again back in the studio working on more music to satisfy their ever-growing fan base.

Confession
System Syn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the search had long since ended
a man would find her thawing in the leaves
the ice of winter had preserved the scene
but could not tell the reasons
she said I know you want to leave
but I can't do this on my own
but I don't want to die alone
and now there's no one left to tell them
that she didn't want to live
I swear I've never felt so helpless
as when she handed me the gun
and only tears would come
she said I know you want to leave
but I can't do this on my own
I know that this is wrong
but I don't want to die alone
she said I know you want to leave
but I can't do this on my own
I can't do this on my own
I can't do this
god help me I just left her there
drove away as she was dying
I never felt so close to Hell (x4)
she said I know you want to leave
but I can't do this on my own
I know that this is wrong
but I don't want to die alone
I don't want to die alone (x3)
she didn't want to die alone
springtime and the storm had passed
the search had long since ended
a man would find her thawing in the leaves
the ice of winter had preserved the scene
but could not tell the reasons
we'd never been so close to Hell
The song "Confession" by System Syn describes the aftermath of a tragic event where someone has committed suicide. The lyrics are narrated from the perspective of the individual who found the victim's body after the winter had passed. The person finds a woman who had been preserved in ice, but was now thawing in the leaves of springtime. The individual realizes that the woman had wanted to die and was unable to do so alone. She had asked the individual for help but was faced with being left alone to die anyway. The singer of the song is tormented by the knowledge that they could have helped but didn't, and that the woman had to die all alone.
The lyrics of "Confession" evoke feelings of sadness and despair, while also highlighting the importance of being there for people who are contemplating suicide. The lyrics create a sense of guilt and loss, as the singer realizes that their actions (or inactions) led to a tragic end for someone who just wanted to feel understood and loved.
