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.

Hospital
System Syn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One word
So necessary
When the lights went out
The room disappeared
And you didn't know where you were
But I know where you should be
The world has eaten away at you
You had no choice
Hospital
What's wrong with me?
Is that a serious question?
Things are different
People change
While others die
What wrong with me?
I am depression
Fuck you
Life is a joke
What's wrong with me?
Things aren't the same
And no one cares to play my game
What's wrong with me?
What's wrong with you?
I'm still fighting
But you gave up on the way to the hospital
I'm still fighting
Eyes rolled back
And hair pulled out
You lay screaming
Then you ask me if I care
And I don't give a fuck
You will do what you will
And in the dark I will do nothing
But realize my own shortcomings
Just know that I didn't drive you there
Just know that I don't care
Just keep the lights on
And know where you are
And where you should be
I'm still fighting
But you gave up on the way to the hospital
I'm still fighting
Welcome to life
I'm okay
Really I am
But things are different between us
There's no denying that
What's wrong with me?
What's wrong with you?
The song "Hospital" by System Syn is a powerful exploration of the human condition and the struggles we face in life. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer reflects on the importance of hospitals in times of crisis. He notes that when the lights went out and the room disappeared, the hospital was the one place he knew we should be. The world has eaten away at the subject, but he realizes that he had no choice in the matter.
As the song progresses, the singer explores the depths of depression and the feeling that life is a joke. He questions what is wrong with him, and what is wrong with the people around him. The lines "I'm still fighting / But you gave up on the way to the hospital" are particularly poignant, as they suggest that even in the midst of darkness, there is still hope if one is willing to fight for it.
The song is a devastatingly honest portrayal of the struggles of mental illness and the feeling of isolation that often accompanies it. It is a reminder that we all have our own demons to face, and that it is only by acknowledging and confronting them that we can hope to survive.
