Hello Earthlings!
We are sorry for being so boring and blank recently. It was because Dennis Oh was occupied with his Midterms, Spring Break, and other little things.
So, what do ya’ll do on the train/subway? People who have grown up with the MTA should know that it can be considered the second home, especially if you took it to school every morning. For Dennis, it was indeed his second home; the D train was where he slept everyday for an hour and also the very shelter where he did a lot of his thinking.

During Syracuse’s Spring Break, a lot of shit went down in three locations: Madison Square Garden, Japan, and the D train. In our very own launching pad, Madison Square Garden, the Syracuse Orangemen (basketball team) went to 6 overtimes to shit on UConn, a team that is seeded/ranked much higher than Syracuse. In Japan, Korea proved to the world why they currently have the best record in World Baseball Classic History by beating every team that stepped in their way and becoming the pool winner for the first round. In the second round, Korea lost on purpose (=]) so they would have to verse Venezuela, a team which can be easier than the United States in many aspects. Finally, on the D Train at 5:00am, Dennis did some major thinking. Dennis was coming back from NYU and was slightly, very slightly buzzed (always best for thinking/innovation). While listening to an instrumental, he thought of a simple but heart-piercing line.
“First I look to my left and then I look to my right,
and what do I see left? I see nothing right.”
and then he proceeded on and created the next 2 bars:
“Now I look to my back and then I look up front,
and guess whos back? another hypocrite putting up a front.
Dennis was not only proud of what he just wrote, but amazed at how the left/right, back/front rhyme scheme all seemed to connect. From then on, he utilized his knowledge of the world along with wordplay to compose his very own lyrics to the Tie My Hands instrumental.
The message for this remix should be self explanatory by just listening, Dennis hopes. But for dumbasses, he has left a brief summary.
“It’s about how our generation is pathetic. You look around you and it is rare to find someone decent. Everyone is basically a hypocrite.. Everyone is hopeless once they start thinking.. It’s ridiculous. The human population’s number one hobby is gossip.. Then you start to realize that there is not much you can do because you are one of them to an extent. Even if you strongly believe that you are not, sadly you are outnumbered. You are forced to function in a society that these retards created. Retards make retarded things. Ya dig? And as time flows like this, you start to enjoy being alone. Alone doesn’t mean not having any friends and not being social. It means that you know how to stay true and caress your own beliefs. It also means you know how to set aside time to think. Anyway, in conclusion, I’m trying to say that all of our hands are tied up. Who tied them? The people in power, our friends, and ourselves.”

Here are the lyrics:
First I look to my left and then I look to my right
and what do I see left? I see nothing right
I see nothing bright, I sense nothing polite,
The only time I find delight is when I sleep at night
and now I look to my back, and then I look up front
and guess whos back? another hypocrite putting up a front
another gossip girl unable to confront,
another hopeless man relies on a blunt,
They say Uranus is too cold to live on,
and Venus is too hot to breathe on,
but this planet is too damn fake to do anything on
only if life was like clothes that I can try on. Haha.
I used to think that I was the one who couldn’t fit in
but now I know that I’m the one living with one less sin
that is, staying true to that which is within my skin
even if I can’t win, even if I can’t grin
Sometimes, all I want is to be left alone, is that against the law?
is that too hardcore?
what have I done in my life that is really that wrong?
besides taking 19 years to make this song
Everybody’s hands are tied up, and thats the truth
they don’t know how to move on, they don’t know how to produce
but the rope they used to tie my hands are loose
cuz now I see through all the juiced up excuses
-Dennis Oh
Until next time, have a great life!
