Meshuggah
Album • 2002
Lacerating pains of degeneration speed through your trembling mind Still, in machine-like strife you gain another mile The temporary elusive goal: To reach the solace, to feed once more upon the synthetic reaper of loss. No matter the outcome. No matter the cost Cold and stinging needs tearing through the halls Of your defiled, flesh made temple with its closing walls Still you claim the worshippers pose and you bow. You kneel Control: once superior, now a docile pet at chaos' feet Pulling the leash as it trails the scent to where all hurt recedes Your past a blurry patch in mind, your future once; now thin dreams filed Toward the lights of need you strive - to drink into your vein the shine Beaten to the unforgiving ground. Lashed into submission - By the inner starving demon. By its unrelenting hand Still you claim the worshippers pose and you bow. You kneel to the syringe Answering only to authorities of sedation. Their calls the only ones heeded A worn out soldier touched by their contagion. A battered drone at their feet You're the one betrayed. An outcast set afire by your inner war Your burning self so far astray. A combustion fanned from within your core

Squint your eyes to see clearly. Blur reality to make it real Let focus go from your deceiving eyes to know what's been concealed We've all been blinded - Subjects to visual misinformation A systematic denial of the crystalline To see the fine grain, to read the hidden words The context of parallel truth - Devoid of fragmentation Our light-induced image of truth - Filtered blank of its substance As our eyes won't adhere to intuitive lines Everything examined, Separated, one thing at a time The harder we stare the more complete the disintegration. -Dissolution Eyes re-opened, Reasoning focalized, Receptors activated Perspectives distorted The ladder beyond our grasp The twin-headed serpent forever hidden Where's the true knowledge - Where engines of the sane & insanity merge The clarity. The unity Reality untouchable, transparent, invisible to our fixed, restricted fields of vision Existence taken for granted. -Absolute Possessed, owned, controlled By the common sense-infected rational gaze Onward forever we walk among the ignorant Never stray from the common lines

Trapped in a ceaseless fever of spite, an unending fit of resentment and anger Caught in a moment of unforgiveness In the snapshot of a hate filled second The speechless flickering of uncomprehending eyes -Dilated in disbelief Your vacant gaze distorted Twisted in its accusing glare Teeth glimmering in emotional rage Spit of hate suspended in mid-air Bodies strained in fury Devoured by jaws of despair One single image frame I wish to forget now replayed in succession of millions The one second I will always regret -My hell found in its reiteration Held within the visualization, the continuous rerun of my own violence A fraction of time perpetuated By my regretful soul animated Please forgive the evil in me - The darkness within Ferocious, inherent demon. Adrenaline gland resident Threatened subconscious snake. Repressed into striking coil Surfacing that black second. Ascending with the boil

Unbound to the pale and lifeless day by the multicolored, multiform A spinning antidream unthought. -Exceeding the obsolete reality Overheated inner shape-generator. Blowing every cerebral fuse Insanity filtered and systematized. -Feeding the tools of mind abuse Mind-signal transmission peaked, distorted, bent, unrestrained Neuroreceivers shortcircuit. System parameters over-gained Nervethreads decoding the stream of the reality-inverting revolution The patterned untruth of non-dream: The closed eye visual delusion A frantic cellular race down the switchbacks of mind -Throttling the existence-engine. A propulsion beyond all limit lines Convulsive thrusts of septic energy as infected cells collide Unleashing the video-bacterial disease. -The sinew-conducted pseudo-vision Mind-signal transmission peaked, distorted, bent, unrestrained Neuroreceivers shortcircuit. System parameters over-gained Nervethreads decoding the stream of the reality-inverting revolution The patterned untruth of non-dream: The closed eye visual delusion Self unfolds like a disintegrating dream. All revealed but the sinister cause My lying eyes come apart at the seams. Still how could I ever regret the loss The self transformed into wave lengths -Reverberating this unyielding dream. Lost in this greedy illusion I'm forever devoured by the closed eye visual delusion A twirling visual overload - Explosions of terror and beauty Colors of fear and pain within clash into unanything (A spectra-organic frenzy setting fire to the neuro-highways of mind Revolving me away from time. A soul now rendered unassigned)

Winds that shine a bright, blinding dark. Kerosene flames so cold they crack Suns that blow becalmed twisters. Ferocity sleeping. Nothingness stacked Intestines worn to shield the inward limbs. Screams unheard. Deafening thoughts Levitating ground. The solid water burns. Liquid stone. The immobile turns Corrosion soothing the hurt within Surroundings reaching to touch your skin Progress in stalemate. Death is alive Eyes and mind glint - Glints collide Pains sending shivers of well-being down your spine. Sounds of healing crack your bones Lamentation carving into smiling faces. Surrounded by everyone, still you're all alone Wormholes set as halos over sinners skulls. Leaves chasing the fallen air away A lifetime of needle-eyes too wide to escape, where honesty lies and angels betray Incisions mending the wounds within Surroundings breach the surface of your skin Progress in static. Life has died Eyes and minds glint - Glints collide Disorder putting everything back in place Chaos the obtainer of lucidity Tranquility created by raging turbulence Your solid note frequency out of phase The fractals of your soul by symmetry abandoned Confusion calms your overheating mind You're the memory no one ever had You're the one thing you will never find Reincarnation trapped in a life span. Corpses bolted to the ground arise Omnilights flooding your world with their darkness As your reflection turns its back to your eyes You've entered your self-created antiparadise Your universe processed and trapped in jars Never-ending insanity Down in the hell of mind, where glints collide

The glued-on sheet of self control. The pity of sense, of sanity -Cracking at the seams. Torn from my reality The motion of thoughts subdued. Overcome, suppressed by terror The mouth of fear overfed by dread beyond measure Pounding waves of overload running through my every nerve Will reduced to nothingness. My system overturned My mind resigns to defeat. Internal razors activated -Slashing through unprocessed thought. The severance of self complete Heartbeats hammering at the sight A revelation to wrap my soul in fear Blinded by the neverlight as I stare into my organic shadow The bin of repressed emotions crammed Limits of pain by far exceeded I stare into the blank the mantra of dead silence repeated Hear me. Find me Save me. The dead me (Shallow breathing. Eyes not shut, not open By fear silenced. Incantations never spoken) This hell of vacuum abound with the chanting whispers of the mute Exposed to the wrath of neversound -The words of my organic shadow

What solace lies in the arms of fate -The ill embrace of uncertainty When did I leave this in other hands -To be pulled down at chance Ripped away by destiny-claws Am I another of fate's possessions Dwelling the lie of freedom Just another straw pulled at random Reclaimed by deceiving time A silent judgment I can not overrule Drawn back into the origin-vortex Uprooted and ground to dust Retracted into anti-existence A magnet repelled by life's polarity Denied the self control of fate we flow suspended in semi-life Until the ever imminent day when oblivion claims our breath Nowhere indefinitely. Not dead, not alive Existence-patterns ripped of symmetry. As will and fate divide Have I appeased the gods of fate Am I allowed another day Must I die to escape the scanning eyes of death

Stroboscopic contortion-assault. Light bulb language translated into fits Codes of tendon-flickers I can't grasp. Focus lost as I writhe and twitch Random beats of blinding shockwaves. Erratic suns that twist my eyes Flashes pounding at my thoughts as the intrinsic pains multiply Muscle and tissue twined with every violent lash Battered by an unrelenting shine Immobilized by the increasing pains, the procreating agonies of system breakdown Lightwave frequency body-oscillation. Undeciphered motions pass through my flesh Bodily reverberation induced. A corporeal system lost in its waves Bleached into their existence by tremulous epileptic strokes Blasts of irregular pulsar-radiation - Triggering the process of mind and body control Lost to their control A sentence - in flashes told Enticed by their calls; - Insane, divine Torn, undone, dissolved By incandescent gods condemned Burned. Their mark on my soul To my inverted shadow confined Twisted, spun. Vertebras and spinal column unaligned Joints shattered and torn apart. Spasm-rendered distortion Organic spiral. Stretched and torn into a new creation A worldless thing, a thingless word. Lightborn malformation

Drowned in this screaming silence Embraced by shadows, they tear me The wormholes free my eyes The blood boils - it knows My thoughts burn as minds liquefy, vaporize Reality scorched by this fixed state All beginnings slain by ends I seep down into the black to breathe Drifting to merge with the past My tongue licks the residue of the future Bitter taste, the wombs of claws call me Filth rips them open. The stillborn start to move Lidless eyes twitching beneath a sheet of rot They reach out, they want to kiss - It matters not In dreams it speaks to me of the truth that means reality
