Meshuggah – Straws Pulled at Random Lyrics 17 years ago
A very strong song.

I think the beautifully harmonic part at the end of the song could represent the essential sadness and grief that one would experience upon realizing that death is all, we are nothing, we came from nothing and whatever actions we make it means nothing. The invevitable nothingness at the end makes us futile.

To me, this part of the song indeed sound like tears falling.

Mogwai – Team Handed Lyrics 17 years ago
This song is so depressing to me. I remember hurting myself while this song happened to be playing. At the time, I was going through the roughest period of my life, and I contemplated ending it.

Luckily I did not.

I can really relat to this song. Like some of you already said, I think it's about depression. He sees no meaning in anything or anything interesting in the persons he used to like. He's just trying to wait until the pain goes away, and after that, he will come back strong.
