| Meshuggah – Dehumanization Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
First I have to say, if you guys aren't going to dicuss songmeaning hense, http://www.songmeanings.net, just go talk on youtube or something. It's annoying trying to look for song meanings when I shouldn't have too. Iv'e heard some interviews with Meshuggah and they tend to be very open. By this I mean, they don't classify themselves, they don't explain everything about the band or their songs in great detail, and this fluidity they express seems very contradicting to their style of music, their sound. Thats why I love Meshuggah so much. Tomas said in an interview that the lyrics in this album are ment more to show an emotion than to tell an actual story. So when I see people interpreting songs for more percise things I would imagin that thats probably not what they were going for. It's kind of funny how Mathmatical their music sounds and how advanced the words are but, that is just the way we, the listeners, interpret it. So I try to interpret the lyrics in the most simplest way I can think of. This song to me epresses the way one feels when he or she is different. They become "inhuman". What do you think about my interpritation? |

| The Faceless – Xeno Christ Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song is definatley talking about the anti-christ. If you study Satanism, we basically came from aliens. Thats the whole theme of this album. Xeno- meaning, Alien, strange, or guest combinded with the word christ (Xenochrist) is a foil of Jesus christ, who came down from heaven and died for our sins. Well The Xenochrist comes from another planet, and will desieve many to fallow him and cause distruction. I'm thinkning they are basically refering him to the anti-christ, but just in the terms of satanism. "Shepherd of Deception, Cloaked in the skin of their own" - Satan as man "Waits in incubation to spread disease, A sinister growth gestating in the whore of God" - being held in a special place or somewhere where he (Xenochrist) is living as a young boy. Could also mean that he is just growing in the womb. Druning incubation, all of his darkness is growing and being held within the "Whore of God". I thing whore of God means the Xenochrist is basically a joke of God, and is rediculus when compared to God. He is Lower than God. "A parasite's host; glorified charlatan" - Parasite being Xenochrist, host being a human. A Charlatan is basically a conartist, a deceiver. This charlatan is so good at deceiving that he is actually glorified by others, or looked up to, honored. "A virgin womb defiled with the slithering parasitic seed of the Xenochrist" - the Xenochrist is so dark that he defiles the virgin womb. The Xenochrist is like a parasite growing within the womb. "Adequately equipped with weapons of manipulation, Prophet of contamination" - He has the mind of Satan. He is smart and can manipulate people very well. This is his weapon. Being a prophet of contamation, he leads poeple to contamination (satan/sin). Kind of like moses, but moses led people to God. "Bow to the savior of the fearful and desperate, Lured with the promise of eternal life" - This Deceiver (false God/Whore of God) promises eternal life to people who are desperate to find the savior (God) and are fearful of hell. "(An enigmatic) sentinel of malevolence, Dispensing false salvation" - A mysterious person(xenochrist) who is acting as a gaurd of evil, but he really is the evil. He promises to save everyone (False God), but leads them the wrong way. “Bethlehem will burn" - the symbol of Jesus' people will burn (God's people will be missled). "Prophet of infection" - Leads people to be infected (be missled to satan) "Behold the Xenochrist" - He is born. He has begun his reign apon the Earth. This is all explained in the book of "Revelations" in the Bible. This is what chrisians believe will happen in the future. |
