Makassar, (Buginese-Makassarese language: ᨀᨚᨈ ᨆᨀᨔᨑ sometimes spelled Macassar, Mangkasara) is the provincial capital of South Sulawesi, Indonesia, and the largest city on Sulawesi Island. From 1971 to 1999, the city was named Ujung Pandang, after a precolonial fort in the city, and the two names are often used interchangeably. The port city is located at 5°8′S 119°25′E / 5.133°S 119.417°E / -5.133; 119.417Coordinates: 5°8′S 119°25′E / 5.133°S 119.417°E / -5.133; 119.417, on the southwest coast of the island of Sulawesi, facing the Makassar Strait.
Its area is 175.77 km2 and has population of around 1.4 million.
Beginning in the sixteenth century, Makassar was the dominant trading center of eastern Indonesia, and soon became one of the largest cities in island Southeast Asia. The Makassarese kings maintained a policy of free trade, insisting on the right of any visitor to do business in the city, and rejecting the attempts of the Dutch to establish a monopoly over the city.
The trade in spices figured prominently in the history of Sulawesi, which involved frequent struggles between rival native and foreign powers for control of the lucrative during the pre-colonial and colonial period, when spices from the region were in high demand in the West. Much of South Sulawesi's early history was written in old texts that can be traced back to the 13th and 14th centuries.

And all my life, I've been waiting
For the one like you
Stuck in these awkward situations,
Searching for something true
When my life was upside-down, you turned it all around
Nightime drivin' around the town
I look into your eyes,
And you make me realize
When all stars fall youll be one,
To kiss my lips and see the sun
As it sets over everything in this world,
'Cuz when all stars fall you'll see the way
I look at you as you're watching me
And I swear, that I will..
Love you forever.
She thought she was so clever,
Think I finally did better
Believe me I burned all the letters
To let go of what I once treasured.
She pushed me to the ground,
I fell into the sound,
Of a fast paced heartbeat
I turned around,
And looked into your eyes,
And right then I realized...
That when all stars fall, you'll be one,
To kiss my lips and see the sun
As it sets over everything in this world.
And when all stars fall, you'll see the way
I look at you as you're watching me
And I swear, that I will..
Love you forever.
'Cuz when all stars fall you'll scream my name,
The sky will fall and I'll hold your hand,
And I won't trade you for anything in this world
And when all stars fall I hope you know,
I'll make my way to your window
(Verse 1)
You like to make believe, that I’m a bad person
But nothing that I say could ever be worse than the truth
So I’m begging you, just to leave it alone.
I’m turning this wreck around; best believe I’ll come home.
(Verse 2)
I am the one, the what the where and the now,
I’m the sole individual, taught everyone how
To weave lies out of fake ties,
To hold your breath, and not to ask why.
But no one believes me, and I’m here to make you see.
The Angel in Me.
(Chorus)
Don’t bother me with shallow alibis,
Goodbye to Sunny Skies,
I cant put the blame on my own life,
No not anymore cuz I swear I’ve changed.
I swear I’m not the same.
And let me make it clear,
That I wont be the one to pick you up even when you fall,
You’ll always be the one on my shelf, and ill never dust you off.
(Breakdown)
With my eyes sewn shut, I can’t help see clouds around me,
And now that the day has come, you have my sympathy.
The Angel in Me.
(Chorus)
With Heaven above, Please give me something to die for.
Rain rain, go away..come again some other day.
Rain rain, go away..don't show us your ugly face.
So say Goodbye To Sunny Skies
this guy..he swept away your reality
like the inner eye of a hurricane
but I know better
that you're loved forever.
And the memories
run like flood waters
down the city streets
some people love,
some people hate me
thats just reality
you'll learn your lesson
hope regret s all you'll ever see
I think its safe to say we have had enough of you
so prove us wrong show us all what umbrellas do..
Rain rain, go away..come again some other day.
Rain rain, go away..don't show us your ugly face.
So say Goodbye To Sunny Skies
this guy..he swept away your reality
like the inner eye of a hurricane
but I know better
Woah-Oh-Oh, Woah- Oh- Ohhhh.
Under Attack from those around me, fallling asleep oh so quickly..
I dream of a time when I was home,
A wasted night, a ways to go
What would it take to make you love me?
What would it take to make you see?
the nights they start to blend together,
out here on the open road.
Tonight when i wish I'll wish for you.
We gave you everything, and you threw it all away..
then I left my home, and all i know and you forgot me.
But you make my heart race, and I don't know what to do
cuz I'm lost in love..Yes I'm lost in love with you.
So unpack your bags, one more time
so we never have to do this again
explaining to every one why we are just friends,
I question my own sanity, can't even decide whats best for me.
I hope you know its not personal, this is just something i must do on my own.
Tonight when i wish I'll wish for you.
We gave you everything, and you threw it all away..
then I left my home, and all i know and you forgot me.
But you make my heart race, and I don't know what to do
The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere
'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly
But I'll miss your arms around me
I'd send a postcard to you, dear
'Cause I wish you were here
I'll watch the night turn light-blue
But it's not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly
The silence isn't so bad
'Til I look at my hands and feel sad
'Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly
I'll find repose in new ways
Though I haven't slept in two days
'Cause cold nostalgia
Chills me to the bone
But drenched in vanilla twilight
I'll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because
When I think of you I don't feel so alone
I don't feel so alone, I don't feel so alone
As many times as I blink
I'll think of you tonight
I'll think of you tonight
When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again
And I'll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won't forget you
Oh, if my voice could reach
Back through the past
I'd whisper in your ear
Verse 1:
I wish I never would've loved you, Lord knows I never
really meant to.
I wanted more, I wanted something brand new,
But I gave in and let everybody blame you.
If I could have one wish today. I'd run it all back and
let it all replay.
I was heartless, there's no need to say it. I don't
even know if you can ever forgive me.
Hook:
When you fall in love, you never know:
Is this for real? Or is it all for show?
Chorus:
So I'll spread my wings and I'll fly away.
I'll say whatever the hell you want me to say,
but listen girl: you are my world, my everything.
I'll do whatever it takes to show you the way, I'm
exactly where you want me to be
But I promise you, I'll stay true..
BeLIEve in Me.
Verse 2:
You don't trust me like I think you should, you second
guess me like I knew you would
and I know its how you do things. Settle down; just put
it all on me.
I wish there was someway I could make you see,
I'm not going anywhere unless you make me.
Hook:
When you fall in love, you never know:
Is this for real? Or was it all for show?
Bridge:
She said 'I love you but you need to stop, your
insecurity is tearing us apart and i know that you dont
mean to, but sometimes it just goes too far..I'm just
not happy and neither are you'.
Chorus:
So I'll spread my wings and I'll fly away,
I'll say whatever the hell you want me to say,
but listen girl: you are my world, my everything.
I'll do whatever it takes to show you the way, I'm
exactly where you want me to be
But I promise you, I'll stay true..
(Intro)
Up and down in this club,
I need your hands to show me some love,
So lets do this once again.
To help remember the time when we were friends..
(Breakdown)
(Verse 1)
Will you please save my life,
Im giving this another try,
You’ve killed me, killed me for so long,
But I know that I was wrong.
Were dancing through all our memories,
I think were better off to be, Alone and Empty.
(Verse 2)
When I turn away, I never know where you’ll be,
Will you be with my best friend, or my worst enemy.
Your so unpredictable, but so lovely touchable
Don’t know why I even try,
Loves and Lusts aside, this is our first last night.
(Chorus)
Lets face the rave, lets dance our love away
It’s a ballroom masquerade, so lets forget today,
Were over anyway,
Our worlds have so come so far,
And even though you broke my heart,
I miss you and its still hard, to admit we fell apart.
(Verse 3)
So tonight I’ll sing for you,
I wont even think it through,
We’ll jump and dance just like we do,
And ill sing this song for you..
(Verse 1)
If everyone you ever knew,
Got up and walked away from you,
Would your life change?
Well that happened to me today, and I just would really like to say,
That I will never be the same.
Lets forget we ever fell apart,
I need you back in my arms.
(Pre-Chorus)
Well it’s not worth it, nobodys perfect.
And as bad as I need someone to cling to,
I cant give up till its me and you.
(Chorus)
So ill have these dreams, spin the room,
Its been like this since the day I left the womb,
And you know that I won’t give up,
Till we fall come back to love.
(Verse 2)
You feel the pressure? It pushes through your veins,
When lies collapse around you, you turn and run away.
There was a time when I was happy, but then you were gone.
Everybody judged me, Everyone was Wrong.
(BreakDown)
Whys it so dark in here!
Will you smile for me,
To make the sun come out again,
To make the sun come out again.
The rain is falling down my friend,
You’ve been taken from my hands
(Chorus x2)
(outro)
I’m dying just to tell you, I’m In Love.
