Detached
System Syn Lyrics

He feels different underneath her sky
Not different from before
Just different from her
She says he's an asshole
She says he's detached
She says she's in love

He is detached
She's not in love
She's just obsessed

With the person that she think he is
But he's not
He is detached
He smiles when he's happy
He smiles when he hates
She hates when he smiles
Because she knows that he knows
That she doesn't know what that means

He is detached
He speaks in third person
As if it helps to pretend
That this person isn't him
So she thinks
So she's wrong
She says she's in love
So she's wrong
He is detached
But he knows who he is
And more than anything
He sees nothing wrong

And she says he's an asshole
And she says he's detached
Because she doesn't see
For him it's always raining
Underneath her sky

During the first seven years of the bands existence, SS self-released five full-length albums and three EPs, remixed over fifteen top electronic artists, appeared on seven different compilations, and contributed to a motion picture soundtrack. On top of all of SS's studio work, the band was also building a reputation for themselves as a powerful live act, having shared the stage with such artists as Daniel Ash (of Love and Rockets, Bauhaus and Tones on Tail), Red Flag, Seabound, Stromkern, Informatik, Babyland, etc.

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.
