| Meshuggah – Spasm Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This almost makes it seem like I've survived the apocalypse, and this is a recap of what happened as the final ignorants lost all direction and were torn apart. This is my absolute favorite song. The opening guitar makes me shudder and the atmosphere rolling off his tongue after he says "Triggering the process of mind and body control" blows over me like the winds of a nuclear explosion far off. I'm not a part of it though, he's only voicing his prediction. |

| Meshuggah – Sum Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
The conclusion of Catch 22, Sum brings visions into my head of millions of fleshy gray drones, ignorant of anything other than themselves. They are blind, a simple metaphor conveying the fact that despite their literal vision, their minds' eyes are closed. Severance, or being severed from society, ties our chastened faction of philosophers together. Meshuggah is median. Meshuggah is the means spreading the truth. All the ignorant lies about us are true. We really do want dehumanization. We really do want the destruction of the ignorant. |

| Meshuggah – In Death - Is Death Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
"All things vivid in a world of grey." This could mean that Meshuggah's philosophy is "so easily spotted" by the mainstream of this hellish world, blamed for problems, though it is truly naming the problems. "They", meaning anyone with the ignorance to chastise Meshuggah's philosophy, just as they have the ignorance to live out their lives as "Hollow Men". The "omnidirectional hunter-god radar" is in my eyes the tendency of the ignorant to seek out the different and anything threatening their meaningless lives, in this case, his thoughts. He is "a markerlight of flesh to these subconscious carnivores", suggesting that he is marked on his flesh by them for the reason of his difference, and the word subconscious suggests to me that they are even ignorant of their own ways. Everything about this song makes me think about my existentialist views. People see anything that threatens them as destruction, even though this thing, (in context, Meshuggah's or related metal, or followers of metal) may cause good on different levels. Just as they would only see an earthquake as destruction, not as an altering of soil. |
