Islamabad is the capital city of Pakistan. This is where Adil’s from and it’s the most modern city in the country.

No wonder girls are getting “sleazy.” You can see modern/liberal girls driving convertibles with the roofs down.

To those that do survive to live another day, what options are they left with? What happiness awaits them? To bury their loved ones and wait until it’s their time?

Reminiscing words from Edgar Winter’s song Dying to Live:

Why am I fighting to live if I ’m just living to fight?
Why am I trying to see when there ain’t nothing in sight?
Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try?
Why am I dying to live if I’m just living to die?

A hook also featured on Runnin' by Tupac ft. Notorious BIG.

Reference to nuclear attacks on Japan during WWII on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Due to the radiation, the genetic defects caused during the time continue still. Many survivors saw these defects in their offspring. Placenta is word play off of that.

Adil’s satirical verse refers to how the corrupted leaders have an agenda to make everyone into a mutant through their intentions to engage in a nuclear war.

Not to confuse mutants from X-Men who had awesome powers.

Real mutations look like this:

Post Apocalyptic war is referring to where people a large numbers of lives are taken and there is nothing but destruction and massive left on Earth. Many predict this is how the world will end.

Adil adds the term civil meaning a war between groups from the same state/republic. Pakistanis are destroying each other. You have the differences of religions (Sunni Islam, Shi'ism, Wahhabism, Sufism, Ismailism, etc), traditions, customs, political parties, and social/economical mentalities.

He has estranged me and is no longer around me. Also pertaining to his arms no longer around me. He was my light. He was hope and in a way, he kept me bounded with joy. Now I just sit there in the dark, metaphorically and literally.

A baby crawls because he doesn’t know how to walk. This could mean several things:

  1. Being naive
  2. Not strong enough to stand and walk on your own, a liability to others
  3. On the knees = begging = poor (mentally, financially, spiritually, physically, socially, etc)
  4. You crawl on the ground when you are searching for something that you or someone dropped. Outlandish do not want to spend their lives searching for the missing purpose or object or cause.

Anilyst isn’t in a band or a group. He’s by himself, writing his own lyrics and rapping them himself. He gets to keep all the profit :)

“…I’m solo”

Ever since Anilyst came out of high school, he’s been working towards becoming a recognized rapper. He spent a decade to get to his current skill level without the help or support from anyone else.
Syllable Sliding is a form of rapping that he created on his own throughout those ten years. People around him doubted his dream would ever turn out. But in 2011 when he dropped his first song, it was clear that he WOULD make it.
