Meshuggah – Straws Pulled at Random Lyrics 17 years ago
I think sortilegus has it right on the money. This song is about how death can hit us at anytime and how we have no control over it. This might be a personal account about how frustrating it is to not know when it's going to happen and how noone ever chooses to be here to be subject to such a cruel situation.
This is song ties in great to the whole connection of the album. We as humans are Nothing (the title of the album) and each song shows us a different chapter of why that is. Tomas Haake is a genius at showing us our own human defects. This album dives into the subects of addictions, emotions, mind, and sickness. Meshuggah bleeds misanthropy and I love it.
