| At the Gates – Slaughter Of The Soul Lyrics | 19 years ago |

The lyrics on the SOTS Album, and the title track in particular, is influenced by Luke Rhinehart's book "The Dice Man". This book is influenced by Zen Buddhism. The book is about a guy who throws dice about all decisions he make, in order to erase all patterns in himself, and thus becoming free of the limiting personality. The book is really dark and full of humor and critic against everything. It is a must read. This song conveys the central message of the book, that of erasing the self as a way to gain freedom. However, it is written in a metal way, and is also highly misanthropic |

| In Flames – Egonomic Lyrics | 19 years ago |

"A liar’s ambition, praised like a king" I think this refers to how the blind masses praises the scum that runs this earth. A strangers contribution. Everybody’s on the run. It might refer to people being afraid of the unknown No clue where they are heading. Mankind has no purpose, or direction, it is just a suicide march, and people don't even see it |
