Famous quotes

There are no direct quotes about Samra, but there are various excerpts from his songs on the Internet.

You don’t think I’m funny because I’m always at war with myself
You love me even though I least deserve it
My heart is broken and I write it down
Glasses fly, doors slam because we fall and we scream loudly.

Just because we love each other, we are not meant for each other
You were like an addiction
My cocaine and soda
Not love, but frustration.

Habibi, we shoot with lead,
that’s why our enemies wear Kevlar
White skirt in socks,
like Reinhold Messner.
