| Mastodon – Trampled Under Hoof Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This song seems to being born, then being caught in some sort of struggle among the herd, yet constantly fighting, because the drive within your blood tells you to. Once the weak are trampled under your hooves, then the path is clear and the journey is made easier. Sounds like Mastodon as when they first formed as a band they fought for recognition in the music scene and now "all is clear for play" | |
| Mastodon – Where Strides the Behemoth Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Ok Mastodon songs are hard to interpret but here goes: "condition tomorrow with visions inlaid the priest stands to our right a princess is mine" It seems to be a protagonist who has taken a kingdom by force and has forced a priest to declare the maiden princess his wife. He has this great vision as he now sees the kingdom and princess which are his. "the regress of some minds further chase the prize pretentious you follow religion is mine" He now precides over the land as a king. Power is the goal he pursued and now, as he has manipulated the high priest, religion is also his. "anger precedes my footsteps haunting past comes into head horizon seems so far away this life close to end of days kill and i will be damned forgive and i will be free" Ok really confusing here. It seems as though, now the new king is angry and paranoid, for fear of someone usurping his throne. A prophecy from the past lingers above him, perhaps to be aware of a certain person who would dethrone him. The horizon is endless and he does not know where to look for this person and he knows his time to die is near. If he is killed by this unseen enemy, he will be damned, for the prophecy will be fulfilled and fate will outdo him. If the king is forgiven and his life is spared, then he will be set free, possibly to live in exile for the rest of his days. "unified eyesight grow" He still lives in fear of his killer and so he desires his perception to grow, so that he may identify him. Judging by the title of the song, this king rides the back of a giant behemoth and his unified vision, is the vision he shares with this beast. Perhaps he is weak, yet intelligent, and his beast is powerful, yet mindless, and so he needs the beast and the beast needs him, in order to rule the land. |

| Meshuggah – Closed Eye Visuals Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
The demo version of this song was the first I heard of Meshuggah and since then I've been hooked to their music. This song means a lot to me, I find it to be about being trapped in a systematic, mechanical pattern of life. Wanting to Break free of reality and feeling the initial pains of gained awareness of knowledge, as Neurorecievers short circuit, and ifected cells collide. At the end of the song, the last lyrics showed a transformation within the self and a new understanding of beauty, terror, fear, pain, etc. A sight at truth. This reminds me of Plato's Allegory of the Cave, read it if you haven't. This song uses great sci-fi imagery to convey this concept. |

| Tool – Wings for Marie (Pt. 1) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Ten thousand Days is an amazing album...Not Tool's best in my opinion but still worthy of much praise. Rock Hawk is right; You really need to listen to Tool closely and overtime theyll reach you. What I like about their music is I get something different everytime I listen to it. The lyrics about this are amazing, theyre about Maynard's mother Marie and how she had to have the pluq pulled on her after being paralyzed for 27 years(which is 10,000 days). I love the line "She never told a lie Well, might have told a lie But never lived one" This song can really move anyone who wishes to dig deeper into music. And anyone who dares call this a fake album, I dare you to find one album that tells more than the stupid shit you hear in your everyday life. Tool is a band that stands out in an era of stupid, pointless bands. |
