listening to system of a down right now. great band. wonder why i haven't been checking them out in a long time. see that's what happens to us. we get so caught up in our impulses that we forget all the good things in life. system of a down is the kind of band that makes you think twice about its lyrics. a normal listen would just think, damn they are so random. so funny. so crappy. but i mean, if you were to look at it again, it were to sound deep. something that would take you quite a long time to figure it out.

yeah, metallica also...i like. they make me feel that metal was alive for a reason. with their sinister written lyrics that seemed so effortlessly, i find myself always finding ways to find the ways of writing something biblical in the context of pure hard edge metal. i dunno whether what i said made sense, but it's casue i'm listening to hard rock right now.

then there'll be people who will say, 'metal is just noise' or some christians will comment that metal is the work of satanic followers as there are countless lyrics againts chritainism and all that. but apparently, it's not only about that. you've christian and white metal. they're both for christianism. then they'll be some people who will say, metal doesn't get to the point cause the lyrics hardly start immediately or doesn't start at all. they say there's too much unnecessary music that bores. metal is like an art where the greatest in the that industry create the best riffs and all. the best art on a canvas that has no boundaries.

but then again, we can't force someone into liking it. some people like beer. some people prefer coke. you've gotta know that we all have our own preferances. they can taste beer. they may like beer. but that doesn't mean that they have to make it their standard drink.

same like leadership. we've all got different styles. we can't force someone to say that "hey asshole, i don't like what you jsut said. or i don't like what you're doing. can you please change to what i prefer?". it doesn't sound right. we may have our own views on the other person but again it's views. you're not fucking god. you can't zap that fool to a crisp while he's out running at bedok resevoir with a blue ipod shuffle in his hand. you've gotta let him finish his run. tell him what he can improve on.

we can be sadistic. we can shout. we can kick and throw tantrums and make it seem that we are the ones who show more concern than the other guy about some organisation or whatever. we all under one roof. live or leave. you make the choice.

Wise words or crappy shit. you decide.

hero or zero. you've got all the right to be whichever you one.
