Attention is the cognitive process of selectively concentrating on one aspect of the environment while ignoring other things. Attention has also been referred to as the allocation of processing resources.
Examples include listening carefully to what someone is saying while ignoring other conversations in a room (the cocktail party effect) or listening to a cell phone conversation while driving a car. Attention is one of the most intensely studied topics within psychology and cognitive neuroscience.
In 1890, William James, in his textbook Principles of Psychology, remarked:
Attention remains a major area of investigation within education, psychology and neuroscience. Areas of active investigation involve determining the source of the signals that generate attention, the effects of these signals on the tuning properties of sensory neurons, and the relationship between attention and other cognitive processes like working memory and vigilance. A relatively new body of research is investigating the phenomenon of traumatic brain injuries and their effects on attention.
Tokio Hotel is a rock band from Germany, founded in 2001 by singer Bill Kaulitz, guitarist Tom Kaulitz, drummer Gustav Schäfer and bassist Georg Listing. The quartet have scored four number one singles and have released three number one albums in their native country, selling nearly 5 million CDs and DVDs there. After recording an unreleased demo-CD under the name "Devilish" and having their contract with Sony BMG Germany terminated, the band released their first German-language album, Schrei, as Tokio Hotel on Universal Music Germany in 2005. Schrei sold more than half a million copies worldwide and spawned four top five singles in both Germany and Austria. In 2007, the band released their second German album Zimmer 483 and their first English album Scream which have combined album sales of over one million copies worldwide and helped win the band their first MTV Europe Music Award for Best InterAct. The former, Zimmer 483, spawned three top five singles in Germany while the latter, Scream, spawned two singles that reached the top twenty in new territories such as France, Portugal, Spain and Italy. In September 2008, they won in the US their first MTV Video Music Award (VMA) for Best New Artist. In October 2008, they won four awards including Best International Artist and Song of the year at Los Premios MTV Latinoamérica (MTV Video Music Awards Latin America) held in Mexico. Tokio Hotel became the first German band ever to win an award at the MTV VMAs and also at the MTV Latin America Awards. They also picked up the Headliner award at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2008 held in Liverpool on November 6, 2008 and the Award for Best Group on November 5, 2009 at the MTV Europe Music Award (EMA) held in Berlin. They won an Award for Best World Stage Performance on November 7, 2010 at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Madrid. In July 2011, they became the first German band to win an MTV Video Music Awards Japan (VMAJ). And won MTV's 2012 Musical March Madness.
Attention!
In this sick society, You have a voice.
But silent is what you'll choose to be.
You'll play your role, one with the society.
Desensitized! Desensitized!
The planet is dying, right before our fucking eyes.
This is the last impression
That I'm going to make
So you should pay attention
'Cause everything's making sense
So much sense
And now I'm going backwards
This is the first wave
I'm at the end of the start
And I'm everything that I've made
Yea all I've made
This isn't getting deeper
Just repeating itself
I've heard it all before
But didn't catch a word you've said!
But you're not impressed
So scream back at me
Attention
I've got these four limbs and a head
And I demand attention!
I've got nothing to lose
So much to gain
Attention
There's nothing out there
But myself
And I demand an answer
I've got so much to give
So much to take
I guess I'm too dependent
On what you say
So I'm completely detached
From what I need for myself
(Yea, my demands are great!)
But I don't have a system
That works real well
So now I'm stuck in a frame
Trying to push you all away
It's not going too well!
So give it up for those
Who have no one to blame
And fit so well
Into these boxes that you've made
I'd love to put myself away
But you'd have no one to blame
Attention (x6)
Attention
I've got these four limbs and a head
And I demand attention!
I've got nothing to lose
So much to gain
Attention
There's nothing out there
But myself
And I demand an answer
I've got so much to give
Hey!
Now that you have my attention,
What are you gonna do?
You might have good intention
But they're not coming through
You're very pleased with yourself I see,
It's like a walk in the park
You weren't lying by anyone else, cause
You can see in the dark
Got a lock,
Got a key
Got some kind of vice-like grip on me
On a leash, by the reigns
Got a look that puts me in chains
I tried a subtle suggestion
A more direct approach
A can't make your connection
You're beyond reproach
No need for petty excuses
No need for dumbing around
I don't know what the use is
But what you knowing down, yeah
Got a lock,
Got a key
Got some kind of vice-like grip on me
On a leash, by the reigns
Got a look that puts me in chains
Do you like the reflection?
Do you love the reflection?
Do you like what you see?
Do you love the reflection?
Do you like what you see?
Do you like what you see?
Do you like the reflection?
Do you love the reflection?

Now that you have my attention...
Got some kind of vice-like grip on me
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey...
Got a lock,
Got a key
[Verse 1:]
Ay, Ay, Ay,
Ay, Growing up as a kid, saw so many things,
That made me learn, to pay attention.
Got this girl, I gave my all to,
Being in love, made me fall to,
But I got nothin in return, so that made me understand,
So make it burn.
What don't kill you only makes you stronger,
Being more wiser, live more longer.
[Chorus:]
Loving you girl, wasn't in my intentions,
But I do, and I think it's forever.
Oh, girl, I should mention,
Girl, I need your attention,
I need your attention,
Girl, I need your attention,
Girl, I need your attention,
Girl, I need your attention.
[Verse 2:]
Being far, you would stay on the phone.
But now'a days, you tell me you gotta go.
Did I do something, because I don't know,
Got me feeling, so all alone.
When I see you, It's not for long,
Giving attention to, who don't belong.
In your heart, like I do.
So I'll just do you the favor, and leave you.
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
Ay, Yo Ricky, I got this,
You should get with me, I'm kinda good lookin',
How many guys at a time, be pushin.
Girl I'm a stand out, so put ya hand out,
I'm puttin' something in it to show you what I mean about,
Style is ridiculous, and you should get with it,
Messin with them other lame guys, you ain't gettin it.
No need to sell crack, the whole world thing,
Now I make the type of money your home girls dream about.
The news be copying, and paper will be droppin',
- turn style this is 2 50 boppin, your booty is poppin,
And I don't care what they say,
You could be your own top model every single day.
Shorties think they hot, but they're really not stars,
Sun and the moon, they used to be far,
But we wrote 'uhm together, cause that's who we are.
And now we got the peple wearing shades in the dark.
[Chorus]
When at first start about, I was toast and turned
I miss how close we used to be,
Only you can give me what I need.
LOVE come back to me,
This about to be an emergency,
Attention please, I wanna feel your EYES on me.
I wanna feel your EYES on me.
Oh, can I have your attention please.
I wanna feel your hands on me.
I wanna feel your hands on me.
Oh, can I have your attention, attention please.
(Electronic vibes)
Attention please,
I wanna feel your eyes on me.
I wanna feel your eyes on me.
Oh, can I have your attention, attention please.
I wanna feel your HANDS on me.
I wanna feel your HANDS on me.
Oh, can I have your attention, attention please.
A little song I wrote for me and you
About all the good times and the bad times we went through
And how we nearly lost each other on that night, it’s true
But I held on and so did you
We grew up and went our separate ways
I check in from time to time on your facebook page
What’s this I’m, reading? when did you get engaged?
Has it been that long? it feels like yesterday
I hope that you found someone that gives you everything you want
I wonder if you’ll ever reminisce about your first kiss
Remember when we were young
Everything about it was just fun
Two kids stuck together on the run from everything
Why did we change and go our separate ways
‘cuz I still feel the same
Drove out to the old neighborhood today
Walked up to the house you know it’s pretty much the same
It choked me up when the mailbox said someone else’s name
You’re really gone
I’ll bring this guitar of mine and sing you every single line
Of every silly song I ever wrote
Remember when we were young
Everything about it was just fun
Two kids stuck together on the run from everything
Why did we change and go our separate ways
I’ll bring roses to your grave
(a little song I wrote for me and you)
‘cuz I still feel the same
(a little song I wrote for me and you)
A little song I wrote for me and you
‘cuz I still feel the same
(a little song I wrote for me and you)
A little song I wrote for me and you
VERSE I:
I'm making a list
Of all the things I almost did
Who I almost kissed
Back when I was just a kid
You almost told me that you kinda liked me
And i almost said it right back to you
I almost wrote a great song about it
It almost went to No.1 in '92
CHORUS:
Almost had a chance with you
We almost made it
Almost always
You are
.....
VERSE II:
I almost said Hi
When I saw you walking by
You almost looked back
I almost had a heart attack
You almost told me that you kinda liked me
and i almost said it right back to you

and I almost had the chance to fall in love with you
Chorus
BRIDGE:
Almost had a chance with you
I almost made it, almost always do
Chorus
Yeah, attention, attention

Nephew, holla

No matter what's going on around me I'm only into you
You're lips never moved but I swear I heard you speak
Girl you had me in the zone what the hell you do to me, oh

Got me thinkin' damn
How you shaking them hips, oh
Let me stop, get my *** together 'cause tonight she'll get
Attention, I tried to get that
No champagne tonight will do, seems right
Attention from here to the bedroom
All night long, girl I'm focused on you
Know it's getting late, baby girl I'm on my way
I know you're down for whatever so I won't procrastinate
If you're ready to go, baby let me take control
'Cause everything about your body is 'bout to make me explode
I ain't never been in a position like this
Got me thinkin' damn
How you shaking them hips, oh

Conversations on the phone, rubbin' on the bone
Huggin' me, kissin' me, lovin' me at home
If lovin' you was right then I don't wanna a be wrong
I guess me and you can get it on
I met you on a set, set you on a jet
Jet set complected, partially corrected
Recently elected, verbally respected
Two scoops of ice cream
Baby girl, licked it, liked it, loved it
Placed no one above it, push come to shove it
Rubba dub dub, D O double Jeezy, make your head dizzy
Baby girl get busy with me
Mandy XO, Candy Sexlaw, do it all night
Plus weed and I like so
Rub your back slow, you rub my neck slow
Tonight's the night, yeah you know how that go
Attention, I tried to get that
No champagne tonight will do, seems right
Attention from here to the bedroom
All night long, girl I'm focused on you
We are the sons and daughters
Children of a Holy Father
Called from the dark for purpose
His Spirit living in us
We are the ones to carry
The truth of a greater story
Of life and love and freedom
Go now, tell everyone
This is a call, now everybody follow
Go tell the world that Jesus reigns
Go the broken, go to the helpless
Go set the captive free
Come one, come all
Come young, come old
Come everyone
Good news for the brokenhearted
For the ones who mourn in darkness
God gives relief and gladness
Beauty for piles of ashes
Come now from every nation
Come join this celebration
The center of our praises
King Jesus our salvation
Go, go, go tell everyone
Go, go, go tell everyone
Go, go tell everyone you know
Attention

Sometimes it feels like I don't have a heart
Just a rock or a stone that's been torn apart
Oh, you told me it hurts...
But you never told me it burns!
Warmed by the fire the heat was intense
Then cracked by the cold a stone cannot mend
Oh, you told me it hurts
But you never told me it gets worse
Over the hills and far away is were you are
Distant and remote just like a fallen star
VERSE I:
I'm making a list
Of all the things I almost did
Who I almost kissed

You make the moon
Unnecessary to me
Unnecessary, unnecessary
Unnecessary, unnecessary
Unnecessary, to me, to me
Unnecessary
Someone dies and as we close our eyes
Another hungry child will starve away
Say a prayer, we've got to be aware
If we're the ones to face another day
When my pleasure turns to pain
When I'm scared
I'm caught in a lifetime
Since the world has gone insane
Try to hold on
Open your eyes
Pay attention
The end is not that far away
Attention we're heading towards judgement day
Run run away
Identify yourself, dehumanised
Too much computerized
Man of tomorrow
We can't avoid
A worldwide suicide
If we don't
Hold back the fire that's coming on
When my pleasure turns to pain
When I'm scared
I'm caught in a lifetime
Since the world has gone insane
Try to hold on
Open your eyes
Chorus
I've seen the new horizons
There is no true escape
There ain't no compromising
Can't pull the breaks
And so we're living in the shadows
Of supernational fools
Who reign and rule
Control our destiny
This is an emergency
It's not the way it's meant to be
you believe everything you read
you believe everything you read
you believe everything you read
I can't believe what the fuck i read!
scream
words that i believe
friends became my enemies
think
think before you speak
don't think you know me
my heart is an empty hole
hands wanna wrap around your throat
legs bruise everywhere you walk
mouth spits all the shit you talk
so keep talking
keep talking
keep talking
keep talking
fight
say what's on my mind (no i)
lies
words you hide behind
be careful what you say
stay
stay the fuck away
my heart is an empty hole
hands wanna wrap around your throat
legs bruise everywhere you walk
mouth spits all the shit you talk
my heart is an empty hole
hands wanna wrap around your throat
legs bruise everywhere you walk
mouth spits all the shit you talk
keep talking
in a world of lies
i find myself advised to just pretend i'm nice
and not to say what's on my mind
but in a world of shit
i think you're just a bitch
who couldn't fuck or suck my dick
cause i'm a chick
don't even think i give a damn
i say these things because i can
honesty is the holiest disease
honesty
honesty
honesty
honesty
Your a jack of all trades but a master of none
Cause you forgot to be my lover you never made me number one
A little birdy told me that you were up to no good
But to be honest I'm not bothered girl I just got To see you soon
You say that you got things to do
I know your busy, but I am too
It may be late, I got no shame
So is it too late to ask you baby
[Chorus:]
For a little more attention
To relieve the tension
Won't you give me some attention
To relieve the tension
Give me some attention
See I'm not asking for your hand
I just want to know where I stand
But you keep taking out insurance
You're always making back up plans
But how can u break your heart babe
If it's never there to damage
Tell me how can I save this love
If you give me nothing to salvage
So if you know then let me know
Come on and get me or let me go
Don't play these games cause I can't wait
So is it too late to ask you baby
[Chorus]
I don't even bother tryin to find another
Cause I can't get enough of you
The little that you give me, it's enough to keep me
I can't get enough of you
So if you know then let me know
Come on and get me or let me go
Don't play these games cause I can't wait
So is it too late to ask you baby
(Olivia Newton-John /Annie Roboff /Steve Seskin)
Here in my heart, there's the truth
But no one could love me like you
But lately you seem so far away
Pretending that you hear what I say
It's all I can do to get some attention from you
Sometimes you look so unsure
Has time left you longing for more?
Wishing you would let me back in
I just wanna be home again
It's all I can do to get some attention from you
You mean too much to me to give up without a fight
Lord knows we can't survive one more silent night
I'd like to think there's a chance
Some way to save our romance
But if I have to do it alone
I'd be better off on my own
It's all I can do to get some attention from you
oh,What can I do to get some attention from you
Sound of heavy boots is cranking up
Too many steps are breaking silence
In the city
We have to stay . . . we have to stay
And wait for the alert siren . . .
Attention!!!
Let’s set free our little freedom!
Machines between ruins
Are grinding innocent skulls
Missing eyes are following blind line
Human honor disappeared
Under lies, under minds
. . . under motofokin‘ voice!
We are ready to kill!
More attention please!
Enemy’s lines will never knock me down
We have to win for every time!
BLOOD IS MUCH BETTER
THAN MOTHER’S MILK!
Propaganda! . . . attention!
Biotechnology! . . . attention!
No freedom! . . . attention!
Medial slavery! . . . attention!
Soldiers, don´t fight the slavery,
fight... (?),
you, the people have the power,
the power to create machines,
the power to create (?),
in the name of the democracy,
let us all unite!
Sound of heavy boots is cranking up
Too many steps are breaking
Silence in the city
We have to stay . . . we have to stay
And wait for the alert siren . . .
Attention!
Let‘s set free our little freedom!
We gotta follow the path
And try to stay to the end
Suffering and revelation
It’s time to suffocation
Then lies our truth’s the way
. . . the way
We are ready to kill
More attention please!
Enemy’s lines will never knock me down
We have to win for every time!
BLOOD IS MUCH BETTER
THAN MOTHER’S MILK!
More attention please!
Attention! Attention!
May I have all your eyes and ears to the front of the room,
If only, if only for one second
Will you hear what I have to say?
Oh, did I mention when I see you it stings like hell?
To the fact that we could have something that'll never happen.
This table has taken a turn for the worst,
Rock bottom and over the edge
Well it's not like it hurts that much anyway.
Upside-down and inside-out,
When I leave here I'm going alone
Well it's not like, not like it, hurts much anyway.
Attention! Attention!
May I have all your eyes and ears to the front of the room,
If only, if only for one second.
Will you hear what I have to say?
Oh, did I mention when I see you it stings like hell?
To the fact that we could have something, something...
This balance has weighed out our heart's desire,
I'm trying to make it alone.
Well it's not like it hurts that much anyway.
Upside-down and inside out,
When I leave here I'm going alone
But I'm dying, I'm dying, to touch..'
And it's not like it, not like it hurts much anyway.
Attention! Attention!
May I have all your eyes and ears to the front of the room,
If only, if only for one second.
Will you hear what I have to say?
Oh, did I mention when I see you it stings like hell?
To the fact that we could have something that'll never happen.
Did you hear what I have to (say)....
Attention Attention
Upside-down and inside-out
Attention Attention
Upside-down and inside-out
Attention! Attention!
May I have all your eyes and ears to the front of the room,
If only, if only for one second.
Will you hear what I have to say?
Oh, did I mention when I see you it stings like hell?
To the fact that we could have something that'll never happen.
Did you hear what I have to (say)....
We're all just weird kids in the end.
Attention, I'll walk you through this slowly if you're still listening,
here's your penny back for stealing our thoughts, all for the sake of
wanting more, play it safe while you keep score, and one day we
might find that piece of mind that we lost in the first place.
I know the way I wanna be but I'm trapped in who I am, the only thing
that holds me back is believing that I needed change. We are the
only friends we have and if there's nothing left and I fall, We don't fall
apart. We're all just weird kids in the end.
I tied up my laces, left my loose ends hanging on the words that I
had said, memories that keep me up in bed, shoulda, coulda,
would've stayed the way I've been if it wasn't for the means there'd
be no end, to sleepless nights in parking lots that light the way to
make a better me, If I could write these feelings into a greater
meaning they'd fall on deaf ears
I know the way I wanna be but I'm trapped in who I am, the only thing
that holds me back is believing that I needed change. We are the
only friends we have and if there's nothing left and I fall, we don't fall
apart.
I know the way I wanna be but I'm trapped in who I am, the only thing
that holds me back is not believing
We are the only friends we have and if there's nothing left and I fall,
we don't fall apart.
I know the way I wanna be but I'm trapped in who I am, the only thing
that holds me back is believing that I needed change. We are the
only friends we have and if there's nothing left I fall, we don't fall
apart.
We're all just weird kids in the end.
It comes crashing in
As if there’s never been anything like it
I keep finding myself repeating the same mistakes
I never did see the irony
I’m drowning in sound
It’s wearing me out
I tumble and turn with no direction
I fall and I fold
It’s wearing me down
To what this all amount
Hey! You got my attention
What more do you want?
You’re not special
No matter how hard you try!
I’m just like you
Here we go
Might as well just make the best of it
And you know
They’ll never understand what you see
This is more than I can hold
It comes crashing in
As if there’s never been anything like it
I keep finding myself repeating the same mistakes
I never did see the irony
What am I supposed to do?
Ask life for a break
Am I to medicate it?
Adapt and subjugate it?
If you would only just
Shut you’re…
What people never understand is how I ever get it right the first time
The stumble and stumble
What’s wrong with you!
And do you really wanna know
What it’s like to live a lifetime answering to fools
You ain’t got a fucking clue
But I won’t let ‘em break me
I won’t let ‘em take me
I won’t let ‘em do it
Babe, baby, baby i ain't try'na nag you.
Just come talk to me (talk to me,to me).
You know we don't get to spend time no more.
I miss you daddy.
I know that life has delt us many cards,
Sometimes I swear he's trying to make it hard, and i don't want to have to hide me faults.
But he got busy and let down the gaurds.
I need attention, from you, it's just the little things we do, pay attention it's on you,
Cause i can't help it i just like it when you do, yeah.
I don't wanna nag and start a fight.
But sometimes you forget and i get tired.
If he was out of sight and out of mind.
So dawlin listen and just make it right.
You make my heart monsoon baby, and we could make life through baby,
So take my hand and we'll glide the way.
Why would you follow now?
Just look me in my eyes.
Remember what makes me smile, you use to make me high, let's go way
