An engineer is a professional practitioner of engineering, concerned with applying scientific knowledge, mathematics and ingenuity to develop solutions for technical problems. Engineers design materials, structures and systems while considering the limitations imposed by practicality, safety and cost. The word engineer is derived from the Latin roots ingeniare ("to contrive, devise") and ingenium ("cleverness").
Engineers are grounded in applied sciences, and their work in research and development is distinct from the basic research focus of scientists. The work of engineers forms the link between scientific discoveries and their subsequent applications to human needs.
Engineers develop new technological solutions. During the engineering design process, the responsibilities of the engineer may include defining problems, conducting and narrowing research, analyzing criteria, finding and analyzing solutions, and making decisions. Much of an engineer's time is spent on researching, locating, applying, and transferring information. Indeed, research suggests engineers spend 56% of their time engaged in various different information behaviours, including 14% actively searching for information.
A software engineer is an engineer who applies the principles of software engineering to the design, development, testing, and evaluation of the software and systems that make computers or anything containing software work.
Prior to the mid-1960s, software practitioners called themselves computer programmers or software developers, regardless of their actual jobs. Many people prefer to call themselves software developer and programmer, because most widely agree what these terms mean, while software engineer is still being debated. A prominent computing scientist, E. W. Dijkstra, wrote in a paper that the coining of the term software engineer was not useful since it was an inappropriate analogy, "The existence of the mere term has been the base of a number of extremely shallow—and false—analogies, which just confuse the issue...Computers are such exceptional gadgets that there is good reason to assume that most analogies with other disciplines are too shallow to be of any positive value, are even so shallow that they are only confusing."
You've never seen this kind of a mayor's office!
here lies your scene
resurrected for the good
all that you are
is sending back the truth
can't keep the pace
you're the second hand
make it worth it
be what you are
no need to change
so phased for so long
it's the scene
let me fight the liar that means harm
just the same old excuses now
everyone makes
hide behind your screen
have you got the shield to form
keeps me aside
and makes himself worthwhile
you're pride of place
in a made up band
as you come to sow your bland seed
too strong, I abdicate
hit a rightful trail
then steal from your box
with the river crosswind
I make craters fall in
hustled from day one
made it this far
leave now it's better to walk away
crawl from the wreckage to your dismay
new song for brighter days
got a spiteful trait not helped by your loss
peel your layers thin while
I make craters fall in
hustled from day one
made it this far
something's not helped me up
to sit back low with you now
tried to stop you drifting
still you follow
hooked inside is my old brown grey
if it feels right then it feel right
tied in tight in the same old way
climb to new heights if it feels right
is your faith steadfast
challenged by a needle
would you go this far
what is there to stop you
will you hide make it go away
is the light bright when you're inside
change your side is it old brown grey
does it feel right, if it feels right
with your face set hard
challenged by a needle
now you've gone too far
be what you are
believe what you say
but don't tell me
what I have to play
be where you are
change by the day
but don't tell me
what I'm here to say
land on your feet
no room for mistake
but don't tell me
that you're not afraid.
tap on the glass
you're still on display
just don't call me
help me to light the fire
try it in a different way
given wings to be on your tail
not so bold now
facing in a different way
basic forms will be on your trail
if I stow away
our light burns low
sheer might takes it
he's the one to know
got my face low
i want to start a fire
hand it to me on a plate
those who fail could be helped by science
are you sure now
you're perfect in every way
two more lines and you're on your way
will I show the way
can't fight let go
sheer height breaks it
how were we to know
On the floating, shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
'til your singing eyes and fingers
drew me loving into your eyes.
And you sang "Sail to me, sail to me, let me enfold you.
Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you."
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you here when I was full sail?
Now my foolish boat is leaning,
Broken lovelorn on your rock.
For you sang, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back
tomorrow.
Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow."
I'm as puzzled as a newborn child.
I'm as riddled as the tide.
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or shall I lie with death my bride?
Hear me sing, "Swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you.
Take it all away
Did you hide and make yourself
Straight to halt their pleas
All the signs are there
Respite from what you feel
Given time we've learned to share
Don't compensate for me
Will I find you there
Do my best to steer my goals
Clean coloured wire makes the right hole
(Do my best to steer my goals
Please pull in tight make the right hole)
Try to make me stay
Had to fight for recompense
Don't put the blame on me
All the signs are there
Filtered by a friend
Even time's not playing fair
Don't pin your hopes on me
How do you say goodbye
To an old friend
You don't want to know
How do you wave goodbye
To a new friend
When you don't want to leave
[chorus]
Craving times ahead
Keeps me hungry every day
With this bitter rush
I can slowly drift ahead
To deal in life instead
Keeps me hung by your sole hand
With a single wish
I can slowly drift ahead
Why do we trade fine lines
For a real truth
We don't want to know
Why did we break our ties
With our old friends
When they don't want to grow
[chorus]
Would you dare
Would you dare fall flat on your face
Get your answer approved
By the state
By the state of friends of that you knew
'm staring out into the night
Trying to hide the pain
I'm going to the place where love
And feeling good don't ever cost a thing
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain
(Chorus)
I'm going home
Back to the place where I belong
And where love has always been enough for me
I'm not running from
No, I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home
Well, Im going home
The miles are getting longer, it seems
The closer I get to you
I've not always been the best man or friend for you
But your love remains true
And I don't know why
You always seem to give me another try
(Chorus)
So I'm going home
Back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always been enough for me
I'm not running from
No, I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
Be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it all
You just might get it all
And then some you don't want
Be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it all
You just might get it all, yeah
(Chorus)
Oh, well I'm going home
Back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always been enough for me
I'm not running from
No, I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
I said these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home
Are these writers trying to teach me
What if I decide to listen
Learn about a newer meaning
Reconcile with my indifference
Do I deserve
Forgiveness
I need your
Forgiveness
Don't want for more
You got enough
For both of us
Forgiveness
All these tryers trying to reach me
Hoping I can serve them meaning
Commit yourself to reason failing
Extreme comforts ever pleasing
Do I deserve
Forgiveness
I need your
Forgiveness
Don't want for more
You got enough
For both of us
You got enough
For both of us
Is there enough
For both of us
Is there enough
I'm not to blame
No cracks in my shell so far
There is no shame
You're in the clear so far
'Cause you said it doesn't make it so
Doesn't mean that time stands still between us
There's nothing left to know
What you've stolen isn't really yours
Though your words, they have no meaning
Your awkwardness still shows
Ease it down
Come in out of the rain
To a better place
Sleaze is all you know
That with causing you pain
It's all you'll ever know
I'm not to blame
No cracks in my shell so far
There is no shame
You're in the clear so far
Every thought you think's not how it goes
Though to see the way you treat them
Explains your empty soul
Make demands of others that you control
There will always be that certain someone
Whose answer will be no
Ease it down
Come in out of the rain
To a better place
Sleaze is all you know
That with causing you pain
It's all you'll ever know
Come on in out, come on in out
Come on in out, come on in out
Ease it down
Come in out of the rain
To a better place
Sleaze is all you know
That with causing you pain
Build your hopes behiind the scenes
Break between your plans and schemes
Save yourselves, escape from me
Brace against the coming wind
You're one in seven
But you're closer than me
Been left wide open
Shows we're nearer than before
Clear the way so i can breathe
Make a space so i can see
Hold the strength that's not in me
Beneath contempt or so it seems
You're one in seven
But you're closer than me
Been left wide open
Time was slower in there
Flowing back to the start
Tell me when take me there
Tell me how we should part
How has it come to this?
Met with a wall of silence
Feelis like I lost my grip
We let it go too far
Sometimes I realise
It's not me
One thing I've yet to find
Has found me.
[2x]
Time was slower in there
Held me back from the start
Are you going nowhere?
Now's a good time to part
Wide off the mark we missed
Though we remained defiant
And now it's come to this
Now that we've come so far
Sometimes I realise
It's not me
One thing I've yet to find
Has found me.
Legions mass upon this place
For another night of violent abuse
Maniacs in leather and black
Ready and willing for the attack
Metal mayhem running free
Now all around is breaking loose
Fists are flying pluses race
The circle will destroy this place
Feel adrenaline rush
Jump into the pit
Kicking as you push
Braced for the hit
Bow down to the thrasher
Blood on the stage, a thousand rage
A thrasher's soul on fire
Chaos spreads across the floor
Bands your head, make it sore
Metal madness engulfs the stage
In the pit you come of age
Let battle commence, no space for the weak
The thrasher's dreams are no complete
Feel adrenaline rush
Jump into the pit
Kicking as you push
Braced for the hit
even i'm not a faker
like the everyman complainer
when you see me your light fades low
am i equal not plainer
prying eyes shape their questions
will a constant not wake them
should i feel it as time takes hold
am i equal not plainer
hu mor do, bra
what's going wrong
something's not right
been too long
it's avoidable seemed impossible
maybe what's wrong
is your ever changing view
in my last life i prayed for time
to the grateful new witness
maybe I could watch favour fall
just before we left
I thought that everything was clear
nothing left to chance
without a single breath
you're taking pills to help you feel
can't see sense in that
you keep landing on your feet Andy
you've been lying back to me Andy
can you live beyond your means Andy
(I've seen you dying on your feet Andy)
let's go our separate ways
now I'm facing facts
and now everything is clear
no pattern left to patch
I have nothing left
you've taken everything but me
people are the saver
love just makes you sane
see the same behavior
taking shape again
don't know how you braved it
no one you can blame
we both have the answer
hang your head in shame
here's hoping that we could
change something to make things whole again
yes I've found something left to give
and you're the same as me
tied up lost yourself
that's how it's always been
people are the saver
love just makes you sane
can't conceive of failure
don't believe in fate
did nothing but feel good
I'm torn by this feeling I've been left alone, even though,
It's love that starts healing, I can't let you go. Does it show?
What pushed us together,
We swallowed completely.
I've realised what you bring.
It could work out fine for someone like me now,
Which one will you seek?
So don't you close your eyes, follow what i'm saying
Which part will it be?
What pushed us together,
We swallowed completely.
I've realised what you bring.
I'm torn by this feeling I've been left alone, even though,
It's love that starts healing, I can't let you go. Does it show?
What pushed us together,
We swallowed completely.
I've realised what you bring.
What pushed us together,
We swallowed completely.
I'm dropping out of time
Blown where the wind goes
There's nothing i won't do
There's nothing i won't say
Whether we win or lose
Don't drop a single line
Let's just see how far we can go
Let's just see how far it is
Tried to reverse my pride
All those many miles home
There's nowhere i can't leave
There's nowhere i can't leave
Don't wait to hear the news
No way that i can stay
Let's just see how far we can go
Let's just see how far it is
Let's just see how far we can go
Let's just see how far it is
[Reprise]
Let's just see how far it is
Let's just see how far we can go
Let's just see how far we can go
Twin streams of traffic fix the new horizon
It could happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere
Keep your eyes fixed on the new horizon
I could be anyone, anytime, anywhere
Wait outside suffering
But nothing helps me when
I'm without it
Realise all hopes are dim
And hope that fate decides
Turn your back, don't bare your chin
And pray his memory's lasted one more year
Fill your mind with thoughts of sin
And hope that fate decides
Speak of conquests from within
To you your docile side is weak and thin
Converts to the cause are few and slim
We hope that fate decides
Turn your back don't bare your chin
And pray his memory's lasted one more year
Fill your mind with thoughts of sin
And hope that fate decides
Wait outside suffering
But nothing helps me when
I'm without it
Realise all hopes are dim
the question is why do i walk the long way home?
can't recall your answer now
my fear has gone i'm fake
my only thoughts of what's to gain
as i stumble into sudden blows
the fall has no delay
exhaulted space, befriended land, an all encompassing high plan.
a vaulted thust, a word so grand is spoken by another man.
above the space, below the land, in everything except the hand
In theory we're the same
No great shame
Though we're poles apart
From here to here knows when
Can't understand
Why you think this way
Stood firm and took the strain
Of every day
With the same old chores
Obsessive with the way
That you play
And it goes on and on
So something has to change
As we grow bolder
Someone's got to live
By what's been said and done
We all know that you'll change
When they say
It's been the perfect choice
Is the risk worth all the pain
That your name's
Important after all
Disagree but never say
That my aims
Were the same as yours
In theory we're the same
No great shame
Though we're poles apart
So something has to change
As we grow bolder
Someone's got to live
By what's been said and done
So something has to change
As we grow bolder
Someone's got to live
All that we are
Is all that we need to be
All that we know
Is you and machinery
We're engineers
We are your heartbeat
We are your night life
We are your `low-line'
We keep you alive for now
We're engineers
We are your voice
We are your blood flow
We are your eyes
We're all you need to know
We're engineers
All that we are
Is all that you'd love to be
All that we know
Is hate and machinery
We're engineers
Standing still
But you've had your day
Had the face
But you won't stay
Slowed down, weighed down
Right into me
It's not right
Waved on, helped on
Right into you
Goodbye
Read your mind
But you have your needs
Hopeless times
But you are so pleased
Slowed down, weighed down
Right into me
It's not right
Waved on, helped on
Right into you
Goodbye
I dream I'm falling
talk of failing
we've reached the point where
there seems to be
reason in you
I thought that maybe one day we could make this home
beneath that warning lies a hunger no-one dares to feed
as we're found
brighter as we fall
there's no need to resolve
blinded by your form
give up too fast
even though
I would walk the line to see you
seems so long ago
nothing bluer light of morning brings it home
beneath that hunger lies a warning no-one cares to heed
maybe the part that's broken lives on
Standing still
But you've had your day
Had the face
But you won't stay
Slowed down, weighed down
Right into me
It's not right
Waved on, helped on
Right into you
Goodbye
Read your mind
But you have your needs
Hopeless times
But you are so pleased
Slowed down, weighed down
Right into me
It's not right
Waved on, helped on
Right into you
