Combat stress reaction (CSR), in the past commonly known as shell shock or battle fatigue, is a range of behaviours resulting from the stress of battle which decrease the combatant's fighting efficiency. The most common symptoms are fatigue, slower reaction times, indecision, disconnection from one's surroundings, and inability to prioritize. Combat stress reaction is generally short-term and should not be confused with acute stress disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, or other long-term disorders attributable to combat stress, although any of these may commence as a combat stress reaction.
The ratio of stress casualties to battle casualties varies with the intensity of the fighting, but with intense fighting it can be as high as 1:1. In low-level conflicts it can drop to 1:10 (or less).[citation needed]
In World War I, shell shock was considered a psychiatric illness resulting from injury to the nerves during combat. The horrors of trench warfare meant that about 10% of the fighting soldiers were killed (compared to 4.5% during World War II) and the total proportion of troops who became casualties (killed or wounded) was 56%[citation needed]. Whether a shell-shock sufferer was considered "wounded" or "sick" depended on the circumstances. The large proportion of World War I veterans in the European population meant that the symptoms were common to the culture.
Cameron Jibril Thomaz (born September 8, 1987), better known by the stage name Wiz Khalifa, is an American rapper. He released his debut album, Show and Prove, in 2006, and signed to Warner Bros. Records in 2007. His Eurodance-influenced single, "Say Yeah", received urban radio airplay, charting on the Rhythmic Top 40 and Hot Rap Tracks charts in 2008. Khalifa parted with Warner Bros. and released his second album, Deal or No Deal, in November 2009. He released the mixtape Kush and Orange Juice as a free download in April 2010; he then signed with Atlantic Records. He is also well known for his debut single for Atlantic, "Black and Yellow", which peaked at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. His debut album for the label, Rolling Papers, was released on March 29, 2011.
Khalifa was born on September 8, 1987 to a mother and a father serving in the military. His parents divorced when Khalifa was about three years old. His parents' military service caused him to move regularly: Khalifa lived in Germany, the United Kingdom, and Japan before settling in Pittsburgh where he attended Taylor Allderdice High School.
That's the way - shell-shock
Hold on!
It's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating
You call me on the phone; you left me all alone
All I get from you is shell-shock
Another day goes by and all I do is cry
All I get from you is shell-shock
I'd tell the world and save my soul
But rain falls down and I feel cold
A cold that sleeps within my heart
It tears the earth and sun apart
But that's the way that I can win
A victim of your evil sin
You've lost the hold you've had on me
By causing the changes that you never see
Hold on!
It's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating
When we walk through open doorways,
Counting time in one or more ways
We can't find our peace of mind
And life becomes a life of crime
And that's the day I call your name
I came to you, I called in vain
You lost the faith within your heart
The fire in your soul from the end to the start
Hold on!
It's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating
After all the years, no I can't stand the tears
Something's gonna happen, shell-shock
The love that comes with pain
This wasn't very strange
Now I can't hear the sound of shell-shock
I've been good and I've been bad
But common sense I've never had
No matter how I try and try,
I hide the truth behind a lie
But that's the way that I can win
A victim of your evil sin
You lost the faith within your heart
The fire in your soul from the end to the start
Hold on!
It's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating
That's the way - Shellshock
Hold on!It's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating
You call me on the phone, you left me all alone
All I get from you is shellshock
Another day goes by and all I do is cry
All I get from you is shellshock
I'd tell the world and save my soul
But rain falls down and I feel cold
A cold that sleeps within my heart
It tears the earth and sun apart
But that's the way that I can win
A victim of your evil sin
You've lost the hold you've had on me
By causing the changes that you never see
Hold on! It's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating
When we walk through open doorways,
Counting time in one or more ways
We can't find our peace of mind
And life becomes a life of crime
And that's the day I call your name
I came to you, I called in vain
You lost the faith within your heart
The fire in your soul from the end to the start
Hold on!It's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating
I've been good and I've been bad
But common sense I've never had
No matter how I try and try,
I hide the truth behind a lie
But that's the way that I can win
A victim of your evil sin
You lost the faith within your heart
The fire in your soul from the end to the start
Hold on!It's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain

[Tank cover]
Wakey, wakey...
Hated you for far too long, you're just so damn polite
You've been screaming , shouting all night long
That you we've gotta get wrecked tonight...
I don't know when to stop... I just can't get enough...Shellshock!
It's getting late in the evening, I can't wait to turn the lights out...
Come down from the ceiling, don't stop just burn me out...
I don't know when to stop, I just can't get enough...Shellshock!
Some of the things you do... I just don't understand
But those strange things that you do... must mean I'm going mad
I don't know when to stop... I just can't get enough...Shellshock!
Are these the eyes of a madman
That see a crumbling sky
Reaching out for the answer please tell me why
In a state of reclusion
In a shell-shocked mind
Gazing into the darkness that I can't find
Stay calm
There's panic all around
Listen to the silence it's so loud
Raise hell
Who says that I'm insane
Follow let the blindman lead the way
Madness I'm your slave
Shellshock, shellshock, shellshock
Draining the life from me
Shellshock, shellshock
My ears they bleed
Shellshock, shellshock, shellshock
Twisting my every dream
Shellshock, shellshock
Oh insanity was born in me
In the chill of a nightmare
Awake in screaming pain
Bowing down to emotion every nerve in flame
Am I blind to the reason
Can I really see
Along the path of confusion that's haunting me
Stay calm
There's panic all around
Listen to the silence it's so loud
Raise hell
Who says that I'm insane
Follow let the blindman lead the way
Madness I'm your slave
Shellshock, shellshock, shellshock
Draining the life from me
Shellshock, shellshock
My ears they bleed
Shellshock, shellshock, shellshock
Twisting my every dream
Shellshock, shellshock
Oh insanity was born in me
Watching time for the timeless
Within a conscious dream
A fading scene of violence what can this mean
Through a faith in illusion
Redeem a jaded past
The clawing hands of the clock-face
They turn so fast
Stay calm
There's panic all around
Listen to the silence it's so loud
Raise hell
Who says that I'm insane
Follow let the blindman lead the way
Madness I'm your slave
Shellshock, shellshock, shellshock
Draining the life from me
Shellshock, shellshock
My ears they bleed
Shellshock, shellshock, shellshock
Twisting my every dream
Shellshock, shellshock
That blood was shed for you, yet you take it in vain.
Why you do you, mock his name? why do you?
He still died for you.
His body was beaten, His back was torn.
Pressed on His head, was a crown of thorns.
He carried your cross, to the grave.
The truth was shown when He rose that day.
He did it for you. It was no mistake.
He gave His life, for ever breath you take.
That death was known, it was done for me.
That blood that was shed, set you free.
That blood was shed for you.
[Music - Eder, Krawczak, Burtz / Lyrics - Burtz]
Uniform, steel helmet, kit bag, machine-gun away
No more ammunition, no rifles or section today
Campaigns against those who are called enemy
Defenceless now lie in the sand
Cowardice, victory, plunder and smash... are shakin' each other's hand
[Chorus:]
Shellshock [3]
Can't forget what happened there in the east
The power of warfare... is still holding me
Captured and tortured them, victory was always gained
Those who supported them suddenly started to declaim
Criminals they called us, heroes no more
Assaulted by the own men
Enemy for the aggression and so
Invasion without any sense
[Chorus]
[Solo: Axel / Tom / Axel]
Campaigns against those who are called enemy
Defenceless now lie in the sand
Cowardice, victory, plunder and smash... are shakin' each other's hand
[Chorus]
Can't forget what happened there in the east
The power of warfare... is still holding...
Shock
Shellshock [2]
Can't forget what happened there in the east
The power of warfare... is still holding me
Can't forget what happened there in the east
The power of warfare... is still holding me
Can't forget what happened there in the east
The power of warfare... is still holding me
[Shouting:]
Stop!!!
Wakey, wakey...
Hated you for far too long, you're just so damn polite
You've been screaming, shouting all night long
That you we've gotta get wrecked tonight...
I don't know when to stop... I just can't get enough... Shellshock!
It's getting late in the evening, I can't wait to turn the lights out...
Come down from the ceiling, don't stop just burn me out...
I don't know when to stop, I just can't get enough... Shellshock!
Some of the things you do... I just don't understand
But those strange things that you do... must mean I'm going mad
I don't know when to stop... I just can't get enough... Shellshock!
