The thinnest tablet in the world
In the world of tablets, the thinner the better. That's why Apple went all out to design the iPad 2 with an impressive 8.8 mm thickness throughout. 8.8mm is thinner than what most smartphones can manage, and is almost scary to hold, thanks to the all-pervasive feeling that it'll slip through your fingers or that you'll snap it in two.
8.8 mm is not easy to achieve either. The iPad 1 is 13.4 mm thick -- to reduce that to 8.8mm while bumping up the specs and keeping the battery life intact took a radical re-tooling of the innards. For starters, Apple drastically thinned down the mammoth battery (a 59% reduction in thickness of the battery) and other components like the display. You can take a look at the iFixit (www.ifixit.com) teardown of the iPad 2 to get a sense of what this means.

You can take a look at the iFixit (www.ifixit.com) teardown of the iPad 2 to get a sense of what this means.Now that Apple had their say with the iPad 2, its Samsung's turn. They pulled a shocker just a couple of days back at the CTIA Wireless 2011 show in Florida - two brand-new tablets with Android 3.0; a 10.1 inch and an 8.9 inch Galaxy Tab – both thinner than the already hot-selling iPad 2. Impressively, the Tab 10.1 is also lighter than the iPad 2, though not by much (595 grams versus the iPad 2's 601 grams).
The 8.9 inch Galaxy Tab was expected around this time, but the surprising bit is that Samsung had previously showcased the 10.1 inch Tab at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. The 10.1 inch Tab showed at CTIA is a very different beast from the one shown at MWC. For starters, the MWC version of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 was 10.9 mm thick, weighed 599 grams and had an 8 MP camera around back. The CTIA version is 8.6 mm thick, 595 grams and has a 2 MP camera at the back. It's also a completely different design.
It almost seems like Samsung had initially chosen to launch the fatter 10.1 Tab - but they had a thinner backup tablet waiting in the wings the whole time. Because there's no way that they could conceptualize, build and finalize a whole new design within the space of about a month. If they actually did – hats off Samsung! They've also managed to better the screen resolution of the iPad 2 (1280 x 800 versus the iPad's 1024 x 768) and match the iPad 2 pricing.
When they start selling in the US in a few months time, the 16GB 10.1 inch Wi-Fi model will cost $499 and the 16GB 8.9 inch Wi-Fi model will cost $469. At this point, it's not clear what happened to the Galaxy Tab 10.1's poor, fatter cousin. But it does look like gadget enthusiasts in India will have a lot more than just the iPad to choose from.

Top 10 solar power advances to watch
The mere thought of converting sunlight into electricity in a cheap, efficient way has had researchers salivating for years
.
Recently, though, there have been several solar power advances worth noting — from the evolutionary to the revolutionary.
One such effort, for example: The Desertec Industrial Initiative, an ambitious plan to build concentrated solar power (CSP) plants in the Sahara desert to satisfy Europe’s demand for power.
For a region that’s been hit hard by a drawn-out recession, it may fuel a revival. The $400 billion project is being funded by 10 major companies, including Siemens and Deutsche Bank.
Within 40 years, Europe hopes to produce 15 percent of its electricity this way.
Clearly, making solar power a viable renewable energy source is a top priority for many companies and nations.
So here’s a round up of the Top 10 most recent developments in solar power:
- Pokeberries: The red dye from pokeberries can be used to coat fiber-based solar cells. It’s a good absorber and helps the solar cell capture more sunlight to turn into solar power. Pokeberries can be grown in any climate, so people living in developing countries can easily cultivate the plant and make affordable solar power possible.
- Thin-film technology: This tech uses micro-reactors to reduce waste and lower costs.
- Cow brain protein: Why not? An abundance of an important protein provides the framework for better batteries and solar cells.
- Highly-efficient solar concentrator design: A new design collects more rays with thousands of small lenses on a single sheet.
- Silicon ink-based solar cells: Startup Innovalight set a record for efficiency at 19 percent conversion efficiency. The company has more than 60 silicon ink-related patents.
- Solar fuels: These use concentrated solar radiation to drive high-temperature endothermic reactions to improve efficiencies.
- Giant gravel batteries: Such batteries could be used to store energy when the sun goes down.
- Concentrated solar power plants: As mentioned above, highly photovoltaic solar cells can generate electricity. It can also supply the need for renewable sources of desalinated water.
- The largest solar-power tower in the world. This structure runs on the sun and air and does not need water to generate electricity. Thanks,Brayton cycle!
- Eco-etiquette. Solar power isn’t that perfect. Several startups are working to eliminate inefficiencies in it.
Is a floating solar energy plant a smart idea?
A floating solar plant sounds too good to be true. Granted, these kind of wacky ideas pop up from time-to-time. This one caught my eye. Given all the environmental concerns of building solar plants on land, this particular design of a floating solar plant has some potential to bring power to people living in India.
The Australian solar power company Sunengy Pty Limited is working with the power utility, Tata Power, on a floating solar plant. But the plant isn’t exactly going to be randomly floating around in the ocean. It works best behind hydro-electric dams because it can increase the capacity of the plant without taking up extra land.
The technology behind the plant is called Liquid Solar Array, which uses photovoltaic technology and plastic lenses to concentrate the light onto the solar cells. The lenses are computer-controlled, so they can track the sunlight for full efficiency. The whole system is basically a big raft that floats on the water.
Nearly 40 percent of the Indian population doesn’t have access to electricity. The inventor of the system, Phil Connor, said in a statement:
“If India uses just one percent of its 30,000 square kilometres of captured water with our system, we can generate power equivalent to 15 large coal-fired power stations.”
Just as long as it’s made to resist major storms, the million dollar idea should work. The floating system turns a dam into a large battery and it is apparently cyclone proof, according to the inventor.
However, projects like this one will likely serve a niche market. Wind farms are noisy, so the off-shore location is preferred. Solar farms don’t make noise like wind farms do, so does designing a solar plant to withstand the rough conditions of the water really make sense?
Because of continuous cooling of the cells and the landless requirement, the company claims its off-shore solar plant does make financial sense.
We won’t have to wait long to find out. Construction will begin in August.
Even if the floating solar energy plant fails to be an efficient way of generating electricity, one of the many micro-grid ideas will likely play an important role in developing countries.
Recently, when I visited Stanford University, I spoke to Michael McGeheeabout the implementation of solar technology in developing countries. He made the case for micro-grids taking off, especially in areas where the infrastructure for the power grid is non-existent. I’ll post the video this week, so stay tuned.
Honda to launch a 1.6L or 1.8L diesel for Civic, Accord and CR-V
Better late than never. Finally Honda has decided to manufacture a new diesel engine which will power their luxury cars Civic, Accord and CR-V. Having manufactured just one diesel engine till date, the 2.4L which powered Accord, Honda did not miss diesel technology as they were probably happy with their popularity in manufacturing petrol engines.
But times have changed. Customers today no longer believe that diesel powered cars are too different from their petrol counterparts. Instead diesel cars are more in demand than petrol cars today. This has forced the Japanese car maker to launch a new diesel engine for their luxury sedans and SUV.
Mr David Hodgetts, MD, Honda UK, explained in an interview with Fleet News, that Honda will be launching their new diesel engine once their new Civic completes one year on road. So we can expect the new Honda diesel engine to be launched somewhere in 2013.
No confirmation is available on whether Honda will be bringing this diesel engine to India. But, if we look at the exponential growth of the Indian auto industry, Honda will desperately want to launch diesel powered cars in India.

A new initiative for the tiger
India, with more than half of the world’s wild tigers, has a key role to play to save this iconic species from extinction. At India’s invitation, representatives of the 13 tiger range countries and their partners in the Global Tiger Initiative (GTI) met in New Delhi this week to help jump-start the implementation of a Global Tiger Recovery Program (GTRP) which was approved at the historic Tiger Summit held in St Petersburg in November, and which drew heavily from India’s experience. With its growing network of tiger reserves, science-based methodology for monitoring tiger numbers, a dedicated forest cadre and a committed and vibrant civil society, India’s experience and expertise is invaluable in facilitating the range-wide implementation of this global programme.
Knowledge sharing among the tiger range countries is the cornerstone of GTI. Led by the tiger range countries, GTI has forged a unity of purpose among governments and non-government conservation organizations alike, and has generated a diversity of views about how to achieve the goal of doubling the number of wild tigers by 2022. Implementation of our global resolution must now begin in earnest on the ground. For this is where the battle to save wild tigers and their important ecosystems will be fought.
GTRP is built on the foundation of the countries’ respective priorities and the international community must respond urgently. This is a shared responsibility of the founders of GTI, including the World Bank, and of the many other partners who have pledged their technical and financial support. I will cite a few key examples.
First and foremost, the men and women who work on the frontlines of tiger conservation, like the forest service officers who protect India’s 39 tiger reserves, must begin to feel the beneficial impact of our efforts. GTRP commits the international community to build capacity and infrastructure for training, technology and modern equipment to defend tigers and their habitats from poachers and encroachers. In partnership with the Smithsonian Institution and other agencies—including the Wildlife Institute of India, the Wildlife Conservation Society, and the World Wildlife Fund—the World Bank is now offering a capacity-building programme for area leaders and managers of tiger range countries.
In addition, the World Bank stands ready to provide much required financial resources to other conservation-oriented institutions, such as the Global Tiger Forum and the recently created South Asia Wildlife Enforcement Network as well as the International Consortium on Combating Wildlife Crime, and to finance regional efforts to build institutions and capacity to combat transboundary illegal trade in wildlife products. Over the next several years, a proposed regional project will put real financial resources on the ground in tiger range countries, to enhance shared capacity, institutions, knowledge and incentives, which are required to tackle illegal wildlife trade and conservation threats. This project will complement other credible efforts by non-governmental organizations, including TRAFFIC (the wildlife trade monitoring network) and the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), which are developing a large-scale awareness programme to eliminate the senseless demand for tiger parts that drives poaching and trafficking.
With the support of the international community, national governments are leading the way to conduct economic evaluations of biodiversity-rich ecosystems, including tiger conservation landscapes. While we all intuitively know that we must preserve our rich biodiversity, expressing the true value of ecosystems, including the iconic tiger, in dollar and rupees terms, gives an additional sense of urgency to the need for concerted action. India, with its great natural wealth and growing economic prosperity, could set the example in this area as it has in so many others.
However, efforts of the conservation community alone may not be sufficient to meet these shared objectives; it is crucial to engage a multitude of stakeholders in this dialogue. To this effect, the International Tiger Conference in Delhi opened a conversation with the infrastructure and industry sectors which leave a critical footprint on biodiversity. In the face of unprecedented species loss over the past decade, more efforts are required to ensure that economic development takes into account the conservation of biodiversity, as well as the numerous environmental services and products which natural habitats provide to human society. We at the World Bank are exploring those very issues in the development of our environmental strategy.
The country-led GTI process has proven highly successful in developing political will and creating a comprehensive, cooperative global tiger recovery programme. With this foundation, the next step is to identify and finance the building blocks that will ensure successful implementation of national priorities. For the sake of wild tigers, other species and their habitats, and for our own sakes, we must succeed. As Indira Gandhi once said, “A world that is not safe for tigers is not safe for people either.”

Intex launches new projector phone
Intex has launched its second projector phone, the V.Show Mini Theater IN 8809 that is similar to its predecessor the Intex V.Show IN 8810 which was launched in November last year. Unlike its predecessor, the IN 8809 doesn not have a touch screen and unlike the Spice's Popkorn projector phone it doesn't offer analog TV.
The IN 8809 is a dual-SIM (GSM+GSM) quad-band phone with EDGE and GPRS connectivity and shows-off a candy bar form factor with a 2.4-inch QVGA display (320x240pixels). A 2 MP camera rests at the back.
Other specifications include Bluetooth, FM recorder scheduler, audio player with equalizer, MS office files viewer, 3.5mm headphones jack (you can connect speakers to it as well), 87MB internal memory expandable upto 16GB via microSD card.
Intex has not released details of the projection capabilities of the device. You can buy the V.Show Mini Theater IN 8809 Projector phone for Rs. 6,300.

Pre-release Windows 8 code hits PC makers
Microsoft's webOS luvvin' partner HP is among the PC manufacturers getting copies of early Windows 8 code, according to reports.
HP and other Windows PC OEMs are reported to be getting builds of Microsoft's next desktop operating system known as milestone 3 – seriously pre-beta stuff.
They're sucking down the code through Microsoft's Connect external testing system.
What are PC makers getting, exactly?
According to leaked screen shots on different sites, something called History Vault, which is described to be analogous to Mac OS X's Time Machine for back up.
There's also a system-reset feature that'll let you reset your machine and retain your data once that inevitable day comes, often very soon, that your Windows PC starts slowing to a crawl.
We've yet to see what Windows 8 will look like. Rumor has it there will be two interfaces: a tile-based UI and an application programming model code-named Jupiter that'll download new Windows apps from Microsoft's Marketplace.
The Windows Phone 7 Marketplace, incidentally, was reported on Wednesday to have hit the 12,000 mark, with 3,000 apps having been added during March.
Meanwhile, there are growing whispers that Windows 8 will set the next version of Internet Explorer – version 10 – as its default browser.
If, as is being calculated, Windows 8 will hit beta in September with a view to shipping in 2012, that would mean the quickest IE development turnaround in Microsoft's history, and would make IE9 the shortest-lived version of Microsoft's shrinking browser.
Speculation is already mounting that a pre-beta, show-and-tell version of Windows 8 will be on display for the company's partners at Microsoft's World Wide Partner conference in July.
Other features expected in Windows 8, according to slides leaked last year, include support for a tablet form factor, instant-on, and facial recognition.
When Windows 8 does arrive, one person who won't be pulling the Windows PC marketing levers will be Microsoft's über comms chief, Mich Matthews.
Microsoft's global head of marketing is stepping down after 22 years with the company, during which time Microsoft launched Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 on the desktop.
Each launch now follows a familiar monolithic format: global venues, white papers from paid analyses like IDC to "prove" its net value to local economies, and a desperate hunt for a table of features that justify not only your upgrading to the latest version of Windows but also buying the most expensive SKU.
Matthews said that she has not got another job, but wants to do something new.
The change comes after Microsoft said it was putting out a tender $1bn of its ad spend in the US. The incumbent on this portion of the business was the Interpublic Group of Universal McCann. ®
Yahoo! takes on Google, social networking sites

HYDERABAD, MARCH 30:
Once a favourite with Indian Internet users, who later shifted loyalties, Yahoo! seems to be in a reload phase to win back the lost ground and take competition from Google and social networking sites head on.
The mail, search and news portal has lined up Search Direct for release in the second half of this year. The service, which targets Google's prompt-based search, will provide answers based on the user needs.
“Users do not come to a search engine with just search strings. They expect some useful information. For one, if you type Spiderman, you may specifically be looking for reviews on the film, film tickets, pictures or news,” Mr Prabhakar Raghavan, Chief Scientist and Senior Vice-President and Head of Yahoo! Labs, said.
Like in Google search, one will get prompts. But the similarity ends there. “You will get answers as categories as you begin to key in the search string. You can directly go to the category,” he said.
Mr Prabhakar, who was here to take part in the 20th World Wide Web Conference, said Yahoo! registered 30 million users a month in India and 74 per cent of all the net users in the country. With the user base growing, the company is planning to replicate a survey it conducted in the US to measure effectiveness (of Web content, including advertisements).
The company, which claims it registers 100 crore clicks every day in its homepage in India, said its Content Optimisation tool would allow users to see content based on their preferences.
The hybrid model picks trends based on the patterns in ‘clicks' and gives editors tools to pick relevant content.
The tool, which at present is offered to English users, would be expanded soon to its regional content, which was not so dynamic.
On Yahoo! facing competition not just from Google or MSN but also from social networking sites, he said the company is working on a Status message option to allow users to collaborate in smaller groups.
By picking threads from the message sharing pattern, users can talk on a one-to-a-few basis as against one-to-many in social networking sites.
Mr Prabhakar said the Internet should be open and any efforts to stack on the basis of Operating Systems and exclusive applications could defeat the spirit of the Web that was built on openness.
Of its total workforce of 14,000 globally, Yahoo! has 2,000 employees at its R&D facility in Bangalore.
Nokia Will Make Microsoft Windows Phone 7 a Powerhouse–Outside of the U.S.
News Analysis: Outside of the United States, Nokia is a major player in the wireless landscape; their phones are ubiquitous. This may prove to be a decisive advantage for Microsoft as the two companies strive to make Windows Phone 7 a top player in the global wireless market.
Nokia Will Make Microsoft Windows Phone 7 a Powerhouse–Outside of the U.S.
In the world of mobile communications, the world is divided into two basic places, the U.S. and everywhere else. While I hate to think of this as an Us versus Them situation, that’s actually what it is. The reason ultimately boils down to relatively little competition in the way phones are sold in the U.S., and in how wireless companies operate.
In the U.S., for example, you see a nearly even divide between CDMA and GSM phones. Outside of North America, CDMA hardly exists. Just about everyone uses GSM, the frequencies are mostly compatible and the carriers don’t have nearly the leverage on handset selection as they do in the U.S.
Visit a mobile phone store outside the U.S., for example, and you’ll find phones, but you’ll find either no carrier presence at all or you’ll find that the store will carry SIM cards for several carriers. While the carriers do have their own phone stores, they don’t have the dominance that they have in the U.S. Even the process of adding money to your SIM card is divorced from the carriers. When I was in Germany covering CeBIT, I added money to my German T-Mobile SIM card by going to the Shell service station across the street from my hotel.
This nearly total disconnect between phones and carriers means that there are a lot more phones available outside the U.S. In addition, the differences in economic circumstances and social communications are different from what happens in the U.S. In India, for example, there is an entire social network based not on Web browsing as you do with Facebook, but on SMS messages.
This is the world that phone makers compete in outside the U.S. and this iswhy Nokia has become such a huge player. In the U.S., most of the competition seems to be centered around smartphones. Elsewhere, most people can’t afford an iPhone or a BlackBerry. They need a phone with some features, but it has to be affordable. Nokia is a major player in this global phone market and its Symbian operating system is a major part of Nokia phones.
This outside-the-U.S. phone market is now changing. Nokia, which has long been the biggest European phone company, has decided to move ahead with Windows Phone 7 from Microsoft. This is the phone OS that will power the smartphones and in many cases the higher-end feature phones in the rest of the world. As a result, recent reports that Windows Phone 7 may be a dominant player might not be too far off the mark.
Nokia Will Make Microsoft Windows Phone 7 a Powerhouse–Outside of the U.S. - Nokia the Brand of Choice for Rest of the World
While it’s unlikely that the iPhone will be “crushed” by Windows Phone 7, it’s also unlikely that the WP7 will simply fade away into irrelevance. Because of the global presence of Nokia and its huge user base, it’s highly likely that it will be in the top three or four phone OS choices in the next five years.
The problem with the iPhone is that it’s an elitist device. You have to be able to afford to buy the device in the first place and the cost of an iPhone outside the U.S. is significant, meaning it hovers around $500 each depending on where you are. To translate this into economic terms, an iPhone can easily suck up several month’s income for a worker in some countries.
What this means is that there are tens of millions, perhaps hundreds of millions of phone customers who need a phone but who can’t afford an iPhone, and probably never will. This is the market that Nokia has tackled so effectively–the company makes phones, including some that are sort of smart, which people in the rest of the world can afford.
No matter how you look at it, this is a numbers game. The question that’sbeen addressed by IDC and others isn’t how many iPhone clones will sell, but how many phones overall will sell by 2015. Outside of the US, with its subsidized smart phones and plans that lock you in to a single carrier, things are different and less expensive phones rule. Once Nokia completes the transition to Windows Phone 7, it will be a hot seller if only because Nokia is a hot seller outside the U.S.
The bottom line is that we don’t really know how the numbers will shake out, analyst projections notwithstanding. But it’s highly likely that Microsoft will sell a lot of phones. It’s also likely that Android phones will sell well where people need a phone with added capabilities since it’s already possible to get low-priced Android phones. But neither Apple nor RIM seem to be inclined to enter the low-priced markets that make up most of the world and that will cost them in terms of global market share.
Because of their relative costs, Apple will certainly not grow as fast outside the U.S. as it has here and in Western Europe. Nokia will continue to dominate in those areas and because Nokia is now moving to Windows Phone 7 as its OS, so will Microsoft.

Waiting For The End lyrics
This is not the end
This is not the beginning,
Just a voice like a riot
Rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone
And the violent rhythm
Though the words sound steady
Something empty's within 'em
We say Yeah!
With fists flying up in the air
Like we're holding onto something
That's invisible there,
'Cause we're living at the mercy of
The pain and the fear
Until we dead it, Forget it,
Let it all disappear.
Waiting for the end to come
Wishing I had strength to stand
This is not what I had planned
It's out of my control....
Flying at the speed of light
Thoughts were spinning in my head
So many things were left unsaid
It's hard to let you go...
(Oh!) I know what it takes to move on,
(Oh!)I know how it feels to lie,
All I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got
Sitting in an empty room
Trying to forget the past
This was never meant to last,
I wish it wasn't so...
(Oh!) I know what it takes to move on,
(Oh!)I know how it feels to lie,
All I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got
What was left when that fire was gone?
I thought it felt right but that right was wrong
All caught up in the eye of the storm
And trying to figure out what it's like moving on
And i don't even know what kind of things I've said
My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead
So, picking up the pieces, now where to begin?
The hardest part of ending Is starting again!!
All I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what i haven't got...

Linkin Park When they Come For Me lyrics
When They Come For Me lyrics
Yeah,
I am not a pattern to be followed
The pill that I'm on
Is a tough one to swallow
I'm not a criminal
Not a role model
Not a born leader
I'm a tough act to follow
I am not a fortunate of fame
On the same verse I'm telling you to forfeit the game
I came in the ring like a dog on a chain
And I found out the underbelly is sicker than it seems
And it's seems ugly, but it can get worse,
Cos' even the blueprint is a gift and a curse
Cos' once you have the theory of how the thing works
Everybody wants the next thing to be just like the first
And I'm not a robot
I'm not a monkey
I will not dance even if the beat's funky
Opposite of lazy, far from a punk
Y'all oughta stop talking, start tryin' to catch up mother fucker
And all the people say
Aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaah aaaaaaah
Try to catch up mother fucker
Aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaah aaaaaaah
Pun said money changes situations
Big said it increases the complication
Kane said don't stab, I ain't the one
Chuck said that oozie weigh a mother fucking ton
And I'm just a student of the game that they taught
Rocking every stage and every place that they brought me
I'm often underrated
And also corrected
And so this second I'm gonna save it for the record
I am the opposite of wack
Opposite of weak
Opposite of slack
Synonym in the heat
Synonym in a crack
Closest to a peak, far from a punk
Yall oughta stop talking, start tryin' to catch up mother fucker
And all the people say
Aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaah aaaaaaah
Try to catch up mother fucker
Aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaah aaaaaaah
Oh when they come for me
Come for me
I'll be gone
Oh when they come for me
Come for me
I'll be gone
Oh when they come for me
Come for me
I'll be gone
And all the people say
Aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaah aaaaaaah
Try to catch up mother fucker
Aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaah aaaaaaah
And all the people say
Aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaah aaaaaaah
Try to catch up mother fucker
Aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaah aaaaaaah
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Yeah,
I am not a pattern to be followed
The pill that I'm on
Is a tough one to swallow
I'm not a criminal
Not a role model
Not a born leader
I'm a tough act to follow
I am not a fortunate of fame
On the same verse I'm telling you to forfeit the game
I came in the ring like a dog on a chain
And I found out the underbelly is sicker than it seems
And it's seems ugly, but it can get worse,
Cos' even the blueprint is a gift and a curse
Cos' once you have the theory of how the thing works
Everybody wants the next thing to be just like the first
And I'm not a robot
I'm not a monkey
I will not dance even if the beat's funky
Opposite of lazy, far from a punk
Y'all oughta stop talking, start tryin' to catch up mother fucker
And all the people say
Aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaah aaaaaaah
Try to catch up mother fucker
Aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaah aaaaaaah

Linkin Park Iridescent lyrics
Iridescent lyrics
When you were standing in the wake of devastation
when you were waiting on the edge of the unknown
with the cataclysm raining down, insides crying save me now
you were there and possibly alone.
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation
you build up hope, but failure's all you've known
remember all the sadness and frustration
and let it go, let it go.
And in the burst of light that blinded every angel
as if the sky had blown the heavens into stars
you felt the gravity of temper grace falling into empty space
no one there to catch you in their arms
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation
you build up hope, but failure's all you've known
remember all the sadness and frustration
and let it go, let it go.
(Multiple Voices)
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation
you build up hope, but failure's all you've known
remember all the sadness and frustration
and let it go,
let it go
let it go
let it go
let it go
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation
you build up hope, but failure's all you've known
remember all the sadness and frustration
and let it go, let it go.
When you were standing in the wake of devastation

you felt the gravity of temper grace falling into empty space

let it go
let it go

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation
you build up hope, but failure's all you've known
remember all the sadness and frustration

Linkin Park Burning In the Skies lyrics
I used the deadwood to make the fire rise
The blood of innocence burning in the skies
I filled my cup with the rising of the sea
And poured it out in an ocean of debris
I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
We held our breath when the clouds began to form
But you were lost in the beating of the storm
But in the end we were meant to be apart
In separate chambers of the human heart
I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
It's in the blackened bones
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
The blame is mine alone
For bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
Here's the deadwood to make the fire rise
The blood of innocence burning in the skie
The blood of innocence burning in the skies
I filled my cup with the rising of the sea
And poured it out in an ocean of debris
I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
We held our breath when the clouds began to form
But you were lost in the beating of the storm
But in the end we were meant to be apart
In separate chambers of the human heart
I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
It's in the blackened bones
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
The blame is mine alone
For bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
Here's the deadwood to make the fire rise
The blood of innocence burning in the skie
