GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications, originally Groupe Spécial Mobile), is a standard developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) to describe the protocols for second-generation (2G) digital cellular networks used by mobile phones, first deployed in Finland in July 1991.As of 2014 it has become the default global standard for mobile communications - with over 90% market share, operating in over 219 countries and territories.
2G networks developed as a replacement for first generation (1G) analog cellular networks, and the GSM standard originally described a digital, circuit-switched network optimized for full duplex voice telephony. This expanded over time to include data communications, first by circuit-switched transport, then by packet data transport via GPRS (General Packet Radio Services) and EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution or EGPRS).
Subsequently, the 3GPP developed third-generation (3G) UMTS standards followed by fourth-generation (4G) LTE Advanced standards, which do not form part of the ETSI GSM standard.
Motionless in time
My instincts are a crime
Eventually he'll see
It's swirling into me
The air surrounds my mind
I'm swimming through the sky
Please liquefy my need
I cannot learn to breathe
Can't keep pretending not to hate
Just take me down and shred my fate
This time you've got me bound and tied
My turn is up, your time to hide
These anxious ties restraining me
Forgive me now, I must go free
I'll liquefy your needs
You will not learn to breathe
You will not learn to breathe
There's no escaping now, you see
'Cause time is suffocating me
I cannot learn to breathe
Motionless in time
My instincts are a crime
Eventually he'll see
It's swirling into me
The air surrounds my mind
I'm swimming through the sky
Please liquefy my need
I cannot learn to breathe
(Can't keep pretending not to hate)
Motionless in time
(Just take me down and shred my fate)
My instincts are a crime
(This time you've got me bound and tied)
Eventually he'll see
(My turn is up, your time to hide)
It's swirling into me
(Eventually I'll raise my way)
The air surrounds my mind
(Control the body, choose to stay)
I'm swimming through the sky
(Forgive me now, I must go free)
