Meze or mezze ( /ˈmɛzɛ/) is a selection of small dishes served in the Mediterranean and Middle East as breakfast, lunch or even dinner, with or without drinks. In Levantine cuisines and in the Caucasus region, meze is served at the beginning of all large-scale meals.
The word is found in all the cuisines of the former Ottoman Empire and comes from the Turkish meze 'taste, flavour, snack, relish', borrowed from Persian مزه (maze 'taste, snack' < mazīdan 'to taste'). The English word was probably borrowed from the Greek version mezés (μεζές).
Turkish meze often consist of beyaz peynir (literally "white cheese"), kavun (sliced ripe melon), acılı ezme (hot pepper paste often with walnuts), haydari (thick strained yoghurt like the Levantine labne), patlıcan salatası (cold aubergine salad), kalamar (calamari or squid), enginar (artichokes), cacık (yoghurt with cucumber and garlic), pilaki (various foods cooked in a special sauce), dolma or sarma (rice-stuffed vine leaves or other stuffed vegetables, such as bell peppers), and köfte (meatballs).
This is my liquid state
Can't see in front of me two feet
I'm drowning in this
This is my liquid state
Can't see in front of me two feet
Open skies over me
I am waiting patiently
I'll wait for the sign
As conspiracies unwind
Will you slam shut or free your mind
Or stay hypnotised
When the Zetas fill the skies
Will our leaders tell us why
Fully loaded satellites
Conquer nothing but our minds
But I'm waiting patiently
And I'll wait for the sign
Carried through the centuries
Secrets locked up and loaded on my back
Well it weighs me down
When the Zetas fill the skies
It's just our leaders in disguise
Fully loaded satellites
Conquer nothing but our minds
But I'm waiting patiently
And I'll wait for the sign
But I'm waiting patiently
Shame on you for thinking
You're an exception
We're all to blame
Crashing down to earth
Wasting and burning out
Fading like a dead star
Harm is comin your way
Its coming your way
And you used to mean everything to me
And now your tired of fighting
Tired of fighting yourself
Shame on you for thinking
Your all alone
If you want i'll make you wish you were
Failing to impress
Why can't you sleep with
Someone who'll protect you
Harm is comin your way
Its coming your way
And you used to mean everything to me
And now your tired of fighting
(Mu-mu-mu-mad-mad-mad) x3
I... I can't get this memories out of my mind.
And some kind of Madness,
Has started to evolve, mmn.
And I... I tried so hard to let you go.
But some kind of Madness,
Is swallowing me whole, yeh.
I have finally seen the light.
And I... have finally realized.
What you mean...
And now, I need to know if it's real love.
Or is it just Madness,
Keeping us afloat, mmm.
And when I look back, at all the crazy fights we have,
Like some kind of M-m-madness,
Was taking control, yeh.
And now I have finally seen the light,
And I... have finally realized,
What you need, mmm.
(Mu-mu-mu-mad-mad-mad) x2
And now I have finally seen the end,
(I have seen the end)
And I'm... I'm expecting you to care,
(Expecting you to care)
And I... have finally seen the light,
(Have finally seen the light)
And I... have finally realized,
(Realized)
(I NEED TO LOVE) x2
Capture me,
Trust in your dream,
Come on and rescue me.
Yes, I know, I can't move on,
Baby, you're too head-strong.
Our love is...
You would say anything
You would try anything
To escape your meaningless
And your insignificance
You're uncontrolable
And we are unloveable
And I don’t want you to think that I care
I never would
I never could
Again
Why can’t you just love her?
Why be such a monster?
You bully from a distance
Your brain needs some assistance
But I’ll still take all the blame
'Cause you and me are both one and the same
And it's driving me mad
And it's driving me mad
I’ll take back all the things that I said
I didn't realise I was always talking to the living dead
And I don’t want you to think that I care
I never would
I never could
Again
You would say anything
You would try anything
To escape your meaningless
Business suits, dressed to the nines
They flaunt their fat wallets and I wish it were mine
Destruction of guilt and a reclusive mind
Their hearts and souls are filling with grime
Kill yourself, go on and do us all a favour
They're all a bunch of animals
Some kind of rabid animal
And they're starting to like it
Push me in
Into there
Force me in
Into there
Screaming
Into there
Push me in
Into there
WIth force
Into there
Into there
I'm hurting you again
To lonely to pretend
Like everything is new
I promise you to
Blow it all away
In your world
No one is crying alone
In your world
No one is dying alone
To broken to belong
too weak to sing along
I'll comfort you my friend
Helping you to
Blow it all away
In your world
No one is crying alone
In your world
War is overdue
The time has come for you
To shoot your leaders down
Join forces underground
Lose control in increasing pace
Warped and bewitched in time to erased
Whatever they say, these people are torn
Wild and bereft assassin is born, yeah
Appose and disagree
Destroy demonocracy
Lose control in increasing pace
Warped and bewitched in time to erased
Whatever they say, these people are torn
Wild and bereft assassin is born, yeah
repress and restrain
still the pressure and the pain
wash the blood off your hands
this time she won't understand
change in the air
and they'll hide everywhere
and no one knows who's in control
you're working so hard
and you're never in charge
your death creates success
and you'll build and suppress
change in the air
and they'll hide everywhere
and no one knows who's in control
change in the air
and they'll hide everywhere
Rose-tinted view
And satellites that compromise the truth
I wanted more
With the cuts and the bruises
Touch my face
A hopeless embrace
Faith, it drives me away
But it turns me on
Like a strangers love
It rockets through the universe
It fuels the lies, it feeds the curse
We too could be
Glorious
I need to believe
But I still want more
With the cuts and the bruises
Don't close the door
On what you adore
Faith, it drives me away
But it turns me on
Like a strangers love
It rockets through the universe
It fuels the lies, it feeds the curse
we too could be
Aping my soul
You stole my overture
Trapped in God's program
Oh I can't escape
Who are we?
Where are we?
When are we?
Why are we?
Who are we?
Where are we?
Why Why Why?
I can't forgive you
And I can't forget
Who are we?
Where are we?
When are we?
Confide in me
Sustain on my apathy
You're such a mess
You can learn not to confess
You will not find it in me
Simply because I can't
Wake up and find it in me
I`m in a coma
You will not find it in me
You'll reveal all your pains again
We'll fall asleep
So deeply out of reach
For years feeling dead
We can fall right out of bed
You will not find it in me
Simply because I can't
Wake and find it in me
I'm in a coma
You will not find it in me
You'll reveal all your pains again
Hey such a mess but I don’t care
Simply because I can’t
Wake and find it in me
I'm in a coma
You will not find it in me
Your heart is freezing up on me
I cannot be what you want me to be
It's a big freeze, and we are losing steam
Yeah
You're the water under the bridge
Floating into a liquid abyss
And I'm the cooling of the earth
An ice age never before heard
My big freeze is coming
change,
everything you are
and everything you were
your number has been called
fights, battles have begun
revenge will surely come
your hard times are ahead
best,
you've got to be the best
you've got to change the world
and you use this chance to be heard
your time is now
change,
everything you are
and everything you were
your number has been called
fights and battles have begun
revenge will surely come
your hard times are ahead
best,
you've got to be the best
you've got to change the world
and you use this chance to be heard
your time is now
don't,
let yourself down
don't let yourself go
your last chance has arrived
best,
you've got to be the best
you've got to change the world
and you use this chance to be heard
Paradise comes at a price
That I am not prepared to pay
What were we built for?
Could someone tell me please?
The good news is, she can't have babies
And wont accept gifts from me
What are they for?
They'll just grow up, and break the laws you've loved
Take off your disguise
I know that underneath
It's me
Useless device, it won't suffice
I want a new game to play
When I am gone
It won't be long, before I disturb you in the dark
And paradise comes at a price
That I am not prepared to pay
What were we built for?
Will someone tell me please?
Take off your disguise
I know that underneath
I'm sick of feeling my soul
To people who'll never know
Just how purposeless and empty they've grown
Because the language confuses
like computers refuse to understand how I'm feeling today
I'm freezing and losing my way
I don't need another map of your head
I'm freezing and losing my way
I don't need another map of your head
I saw a liquid control
That gives life to a soul
I hit my head on it and woke up to know
That I was all alone
Wearing just socks and a phone
Someone's screaming like their world might explode
Yeah I'm freezing and losing my way
I don't need another map of your head
I'm freezing and losing my way
I don't want another map of your head
Freezing and losing my way
I don't want another map of your head
I'm freezing and losing my way
Golden eyes
Feed my role
This forgotten space race
Under my control
Who's returned from the dead?
Who remains?
You wanted more than I was worth
You think I was scared, yeah
And you needed proof
Who really cares anymore?
Who restrains?
oooooommmmmmmowowow
ooooooooooo
I don't love you
I never did
I don't love you
Stay away from me
Build a fortress and shield your beliefs
Touch the divine
As we fall in line
Can I believe
When I don't trust
All your theories turn to dust
I choose to hide from the All Seeing Eye
Destroy this City of Delusion
Break these walls down
I will avenge
Justify my reasons with your blood
You'll not rest, settle for less
Until you guzzle and squander what's left
You're not divine
Yet you live and let die
Destroy this City of Delusion
Break these walls down
I will fight
And justify my reasons with your blood
Destroy this City of Delusion
Break these walls down
I will avenge
don't kid yourself
and don't fool yourself
this love's too good to last
and i'm too old to dream
don't grow up too fast
and don't embrace the past
this life's too good to last
and i'm too young to care
don't kid yourself
and don't fool yourself
this life could be the last
Cast your eye tears on to me
And I'll show you what you really need
Give too much attention
And I'll reflect your imperfections
Can't you see it's over?
Because you're the god of a shrinking universe
Purposeless survival
Now there's nothing left to die for
So don't struggle to recognise
Now they call it "Heart-felt suicide"
Can't you see it's over?
Because you're the god of a shrinking universe
Can't you see it's over?
Who-oo cares for the life we've earned?
Someone's saved all the truth you've earned
Remember when we used to shine?
And had no fear? Or sense of time?
(It creeps up on you)
You can't cry now
There's nothing to feel
No-one's noticed our loneliness
Remember when you used to tease?
And make us scream eternal joys
We believed that you'll always be here
'Cause once you promised a life with no fear
Please don't break my ideals
And say what's fake was always real
Hope was the one, now I'm gone
Passing by you light up my darkest skies
You take only seconds to draw me in
So be mine and your innocence I will consume
Dark shines
Bringing me down
Making my heart feel sore
'cause it's good
Hold your hands up to your eyes again
Hide from the scary scenes, suppress your fears
So be mine and your innocence I will consume
Dark shines
Bringing me down
Making my heart feel sore
'cause it's good
You're dark shines
Bringing me down
Making my heart feel sore
'cause it's good
Dark shines
Bringing me down
Making my heart feel sore
'cause it's good
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
Well it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know, I'm one
Well Mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Or you'll spend your life in sin and misery
In the house of the Rising Sun
Well there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
Well it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
I’m falling down
And fifteen thousand people scream
They were all begging for your dream
I’m falling down
Five thousand houses burning down
No-one is gonna save this town
Too late
I already found what I was looking for
You know it wasn’t here
No it wasn’t here
I was calling your name
But you would never hear me sing
You wouldn’t let me begin
So I’m crawling away
'Cause you broke my heart in two
No, I will not forget you
Too late
I already found what I was looking for
You know it wasn’t you
No, it wasn’t you
Noooooo
Falling away
You would never see me through
No, I could not forget you
Falling down
Five thousand house burning down
No-one is gonna save this town
Too late
I already found what I was looking for
You know it wasn’t you
No, it wasn’t you
Falling down
Now the world is upside down
Rise above the crowds,
And wade through toxic clouds,
Breach the outer sphere,
The edge of all our fears,
Rest with you,
We are counting on you,
It's up to you
Spread our codes to the stars,
You must rescue us all,
Spread our codes to the stars,
You must rescue us all,
Tell us, tell us your final wish
Now we know you can never return,
Tell us, tell us your final wish
I've exposed your lies, baby
The underneath is no big surprise
Now it's time for changing
And cleansing everything
To forget your love
My plug in baby
Crucifies my enemies
When I'm tired of giving
My plug in baby
In unbroken virgin realities
Is tired of living
Don't confuse
Baby you're gonna lose
Your own game
Change me
Replace the envying
To forget your love
My plug in baby
Crucifies my enemies
When I'm tired of giving
My plug in baby
In unbroken virgin realities
I'm tired of living
And I've seen your loving
But mine is gone
Oh ...
Let your inhibitions go
Make every touch electrical
When you're feeling beautiful
Will you remember me?
I want to touch you deep inside
And find the secrets that you hide
When your fears are cast aside
Will you remember me?
Easily forgotten love
Easily forgotten love
It's not so easily
I just want to let you know
My mind refuses to let you go
I wanna hypnotise you so
You will remember me
Easily forgotten love
Easily forgotten love
It's not so easily
Easily forgotten love
Easily forgotten love
Easily the best I ever had
Resuscitate
In my sleep
Awake to see
You're never here
But the losing yields
Another year
Facing hopes and fears
And I wish
I could believe there was more
Hopes suffocating
You've kissed my life
And the planes and trains
Are to blame
For tempting us
To refrain
And to cut the chord
Dis every word
Of the truths absurd
And I wish
I could believe there was more
Hopes suffocating
You've kissed my life
Hopes suffocating
Hopes suffocating
Hopes suffocating
Break me in,
Teach us to cheat
And to lie, cover up
What shouldn't be shared?
All the truth unwinding
Scraping away
At my mind
Please stop asking me to describe him
For one moment
I wish you'd hold your stage
With no feelings at all
Open minded
I'm sure I used to be so free
Self expressed, exhausting for all
To see and to be
What you want and what you need
The truth unwinding
Scraping away
At my mind
Please stop asking me to describe
For one moment
I wish you'd hold your stage
With no feelings at all
Open minded
I'm sure I used to be so free
For one moment
I wish you'd hold your stage
With no feelings at all
Open minded
I'm sure I used to be so free
Wash me away
Clean your body of me
Erase all the memories

Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day

For me
Who cares for the life we earned
Someone sold all the truth you yearned,
Remember when you used to shine
And had no fear or sense of time
When it creeps up on you
You can cry now there¹s nothing to feel
No one¹s noticed our loneliness
Remember when you should have teased
And made us scream eternal time
I believed that you¹d always be here
And once you promised a life with no fear
Please don¹t break my ideas
And say what thing was always real
I was ...
Take me back again
Come waste your millions here
Secretly she sneers
Another corporate show
A guilty conscience grows
I'll feel a guilty conscience grow
I'll feel a guilty conscience grow
She burns like the sun
And I can't look away
And she'll burn our horizons make no mistake
Come let the truth be shared
No-one ever dared
To break these endless lies
Secretly she cries
She burns like the sun
And I can't look away
And she'll burn our horizons make no mistake
And I'll hide from the world
Behind a broken frame
And I'll burn forever
I can't face the shame
And I'll hide from the world
Behind a broken frame
And I'll burn forever
Hands are red with your blame
Megaphone screaming my name
Whimpers someone I should've loved
Souls weeping above
I've seen what you're doing to me
Destroying puppet strings
To our souls
Micro waves me insane
A Blaine cuts in your brain
To sounds like a fork on a plate
Blackboard scratched with hate
I've seen what you're doing to me
Destroying puppet strings
Oh I am growing tired
Of allowing you to steal
Everything I have
You're making me feel
Like I was born to service you
But I am growing by the hour
You left us far behind
So we all discard our souls
And blaze through your skies
So unafraid to die
'Cause I was born to destroy you
And I am growing by the hour
And I'm getting strong in every way
Yeah, Yeah
You led me on
You led me on
Oh, and I'm getting strong in every way
Ignorance pulls
Apostasy and apathy still rules
Yeah you know it's cool
Just suck and see
A future turn us into silent gods
And i won't miss you at all
Grounded
Boxed in
Like the evil in your veins
Grounded
Boxed in
I am stuck with you
Fate can't decide
Alignment of the planets in your hands
Come on crush our plans
Just suck and see
A future that won't let you disagree
And i won't miss you at all
Grounded
Boxed in
Like the evil in your veins
Grounded
Boxed in

It's scent has been blowing in my direction
To me it is new
To me it is new
And it's not gonna change for anybody
And it's gonna be
Our last memory
And it's led me on
And on to you
It's got to be here
It's got to be there
It's got to be now
Or I'll lose forever
To me it is strange
This feeling is strange

And it's gonna be
Our last memory
And it's led me on
Your golden lies feed my role
In this forgotten space race under my control
Who's returned from the dead?
Who remains?
You know I don't want you
and I never did
I don't want you
and I never will
You wanted more than I was worth
And you think I was scared
And you needed proof
Who really cares anymore?
Who restrains?
You know I don't love you
and I never did
I don't want you
and I never will
You make me agitated,
You know i appreciate it
Why can't i complicate it
So why should i look at you
My love here is so true (very uncertain about that)
Yeah
You do it to me sweetly

come on it's time for something biblical
to pull us through
and pull us through
and this is the end
this is the end of the world

Repress and restrain
Steal the pressure and the pain
Wash the blood off your hands
This time she won't understand
Change in the air
And they'll hide everywhere
And no one knows who's in control
You're working so hard
And you're never in charge
Your death creates success
Rebuild and suppress
Change in the air
And they'll hide everywhere
And no one knows who's in control
Change in the air
And they'll hide everywhere
You're so happy now
Burning a candle at both ends
Your self-loving soothes
And softens the blows you've invented
Breathe in deep, and cleanse away our sins
And we'll pray that there's no God
To punish us and make a fuss
Crack's healing up
Future soul forgive this mess
You wait twenty years
And wind up alone, demented
Breathe in deep, and cleanse away our sins
And we'll pray that there's no God
To punish us and make a fuss
Breathe in deep, and cleanse away our sins
And we'll pray that there's no God
Royal Canadian blended
The spicy aroma had mended me
Matured for years and imported
Into my glass you poured it
And you're the only reason
That I remain unfrozen
Suppose it stands to reason
That you would turn on me
You're so solid
You're so solid
It burns inside of me
Cause you're so solid
It burns inside of me
The wild turkey's been chosen
Its caramel nose could smell me
Arbourler/Jameson I love you
The single malts came burning
And you're the only reason
That I remain unfrozen
Suppose it stands to reason
That you would turn on me
You're so solid
You're so solid
It burns inside of me
Cause you're so solid
It burns inside of me
Royal Canadian Blended
The spicy aroma had mended me

lips are turning blue
a kiss that can't renew
I only dream of you
my beautiful
tiptoe to your room
a starlight in the gloom
I only dream of you
and you never knew
sing for absolution
I will be singing
falling from your grace
there's nowhere left to hide
in no one to confide
the truth runs deep inside
and will never die
lips are turning blue
a kiss that can't renew
I only dream of you
my beautiful
sing for absolution
I will be singing
falling from your grace
sing for absolution
I will be singing
falling from your grace
our wrongs remain unrectified
who's so phoney and always surrounded?
stop you're screaming, no one can hear
all the scars on your skin, post no bills
who you were
was so beautiful
remember who... who you were
hide from the mirror, the cracks and the memories
hide from your family, they won't know you now
for all the holes in our soul host no thrills
who you were
was so beautiful
There's a part of me you'll never know
The only thing I'll never show
Hopelessly I'll love you endlessly
Hopelessly I'll give you everything
But I won't give you up
I won't let you down
And I won't leave you falling
If the moment ever comes
It's plain to see it's trying to speak
Cherished dreams forever asleep
Hopelessly I'll love you endlessly
Hopelessly I'll give you everything
But I won't give you up
I won't let you down
And I won't leave you falling
If the moment ever comes
Hopelessly I'll love you endlessly
Hopelessly I'll give you everything
But I won't give you up
I won't let you down
And I won't leave you falling
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Come ride with me
Through the veins of history
I'll show you how god
Falls asleep on the job
And how can we win
When fools can be kings
Don't waste your time
Or time will waste you
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh
No one's gonna take me alive
Time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive
No one's gonna take me alive
Time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive
No one's going to take me alive
Time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
Throw it all away
Let's lose ourselves
'Cause there's no one left for us to blame
It's a shame we're all dying
And do you think you deserve your freedom
How could you send us so far away from home
When you know damn well that this is wrong
I would still lay down my life for you
And do you think you deserve your freedom
No I don't think you do
There's no justice in the world
There's no justice in the world
