| Mudvayne – Solve Et Coagula Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Without falsehood: that which is below is like that which is above, and vise versa to accomplish the miracle of One Thing. As everything have proceeded from One, by It's meditation - so all things are born by adaptation. The Sun is Its father and the Moon Its mother, as the Wind delivers It to Its caretaker Manifest. All mystery is hereby revealed. Strength, and power if It become Earth by seperation and re-combination thereby unifying opposites. Hence is all the glory of the world yours. | |

| Pain of Salvation – A Trace of Blood Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| "During the recording of 'Entropia' (our first album) me and my wife had a miscarriage and it was very hard on us. It was one of the worst experiences of my life. It was not the loss of a tiny organic something, to me it was the loss of several lives - the child and the life he/she would have had and the lives me and my wife would have had. History took a sharp turn for us that day and I cannot leave it behind altogether. That mix of joy, grief and anger is also found in the music and the lyric of the song I think. A struggle." | |

I know I won't" - Tara |

| Between the Buried and Me – Selkies: The Endless Obsession Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
The selkies are a gentle creature who are seals by day, but men and women by night. They are also called water kelpies, seal people or selchies. In their mortal form the selkies are described as possessing an unearthly beauty with dark hair and eyes. Silently they emerge from the sea to shed their skins and frolic on the sand. They have webs between their fingers and toes and must obey anyone who secures their oily skins. Selkies, also, make excellent wives. But they are solitary and quiet by nature. They will frequently wander from their mortal homes to the sea cliffs to meditate and sing their melancholy songs. When their fishermen-husbands are lost upon the sea, they sing from the cliffs to guide them home. If they ever find their seal skins again, they will return to the sea. The selkie will not forget her husband and children and can be seen swimming close to the shore watching over them. |
