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.

The Guy You're Fucking
System Syn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I have no hold on you
But wasn't I something more
Than just the guy you're fucking
I have a pool of emotions
Swirling in my head right now
And I'm trying not to be so dramatic
But wasn't I something more
Than just this boy you're fucking
Everything is bright and backwards
And I'm slipping down lower and lower
Breaking down further and further
With every hour I don't sleep
With every secret that you keep
But wasn't I just a little something more
Than the guy you're fucking
The lyrics to System Syn's "The Guy You're Fucking" express the singer's feelings of confusion and frustration in his casual relationship with someone who he wants to be more than just a sexual partner. He acknowledges that he has no hold over the person and that he understands the nature of their arrangement, but he can't help feeling like there was something more to their connection. He has a "pool of emotions" swirling in his head, trying not to be dramatic but unable to shake the feeling that he was more than just a disposable sexual object.
The chorus of the song takes on a dreamy quality, with the singer feel like everything is "bright and backwards," slipping lower and lower but unable to let go of his feelings. He's literally losing sleep over the situation and feels like every secret that she keeps is driving them further apart.
The lyrics could be interpreted as a commentary on how societal expectations around gender and sexuality can affect the way we relate to others. The singer clearly wants more emotional attachment from their sexual partner, but they feel like they're not allowed to express those feelings or risk being seen as "clingy" or "needy." Meanwhile, their sexual partner is able to maintain a certain emotional distance because they're not expected to be emotionally invested in the same way.
Overall, "The Guy You're Fucking" is a melancholy exploration of the confusing, painful gray area that can exist in casual sexual relationships. It's a reminder that even when both parties understand the rules going in, emotions aren't always easy to control.
