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.

Indifference
System Syn Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I touched you as you were falling from the sky
It was an accident
I only wanted a front-row seat to watch you hit the earth
And the reality of it all is
I am not the only one like this
And if you turn your back on me
You will still face me
And neither of us will care

If you smile or if you run away

This is the time when I don't care
Just let it go
Don't ask questions
Life will happen regardless
And if I touched you as you were falling from the sky
It was an accident
I only wanted a front row seat to watch you hit the earth

I hope it hurts when you are falling
Crushes you that I'm not calling
Never coming back
All alone
Indifference
I want to give it back to you
I hope it hurts when you are falling
Crushes you that I'm not calling
All alone
Indifference

I want to give it back
I want to give it back to you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of System Syn's song Indifference describe a troubled individual who seems to take pleasure in other people's pain and suffering. The opening lines of the song suggest that the singer witnessed someone falling from the sky, and instead of rushing to help, he wanted to watch them hit the ground. The lyrics suggest that the singer finds a strange thrill in other people's pain and suffering, and that he is indifferent to human emotions like kindness, empathy, and compassion. The chorus of the song reinforces this message, with the singer expressing his hope that those around him will suffer when they fall, and that they will feel alone when he leaves.

Line by Line Meaning

If I touched you as you were falling from the sky
Although I touched you by mistake, as you were plummeting to the ground.

It was an accident
I did not do it intentionally.

I only wanted a front-row seat to watch you hit the earth
I simply wanted to witness the impact of you crashing down.

And the reality of it all is
The truth is.

I am not the only one like this
Other people are like me as well.

And if you turn your back on me
In case you walk away from me.

You will still face me
You'll eventually confront me at some point.

And neither of us will care
Neither of us will be bothered.

If you smile or if you run away
Whether you express joy or attempt to escape from me.

This is the time when I don't care
This is the moment when I am indifferent.

Just let it go
Just forget about it.
