| Fear Factory – Slave Labor Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I agree with AChildOfBodom (awesome name, btw). It's a song about self immolation. It's not about Fear Factory themselves (few of their songs are), it's basically a new take on their concept (instead of Man v. Machine, it's now Man v. Man. Possibly this is kind of vaguely following up on the events after digimortal?) In any case, the song isn't about Road Runner or anything to do directly with FF, it's a passive writing style, not active. | |
| Fear Factory – Replica Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| You guys look way too much into the song and not enough at who the band is; it's FEAR FACTORY. You know, the guys that mastered CONCEPT ALBUMS? Their theme has always been the war between man and machine, obviously in the future. Well, when you think about it with that logic, the song is exactly what the second poster said; cloning. REPLICA. "I am a duplication". Not "Will I be a duplication?", "I AM a duplication". He's a clone, stop making it an issue of rape or abortion. The mention of rape in the song isn't the same meaning of rape that our generation has made it into, there are multiple meanings to the word rape, look it up. | |
| Fear Factory – Invisible Wounds (Dark Bodies) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I don't know why people are fighting over this, it's such a great song we should all just enjoy it, but oh well. As you know, FF's last concept album was Digimortal, and the concept was that the war was basically lost by both sides, and man and machine merge into one being. I think this song is taken from the standpoint of someone undergoing the process to become a hybrid/cyborg. "Dark bodies floating in darkness" - if you're being torn apart and rebuilt as half-man/half-machine, I don't imagine you'd be conscious for it. Maybe the narrator is in kind of a stasis, where they're conscious mind has been seperated from their body? This also supports the rest of the first verse. "And I saw my own face in the dark and loneliness" They've become aware of their current state; (IE; they know they aren't in their body). Basically, if you apply the thought that it's a person becoming a hybrid (as the album concept suggests), it fits with the idea of the lyrics. |

| Fear Factory – Digimortal Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Ovex, they remind you of terminator because the concept of their music from the beginning up to Digimortal was about the same as the Terminator movies. In fact, there's a few songs based on terminator names, such as H-K on demanufacture (an H-K is the large tread rolling machine seen in the battlefield at the beginning of T2, short for Hunter-Killer) and T-1000 on Remanufacture (this one's obvious). Not to mention that they've also used several sound scores from the movies in their songs. | |
| Fear Factory – Back the Fuck Up (feat. B-Real) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This song seems to speak on two levels. As most people know, Digimortal was Fear Factory's last concept album, so obviously this song has a meaning to fit with the concept (man and machine becoming one after a the war detailed in previous albums). I think the concept meaning of this song is the resistance some humans and maybe even some machines would put up against becoming hybrids. Kinda of like, "Hey, back the fuck up, I'm not one of you and I'm not gonna be. I've lived my life as I am, I'm not becoming like them". And then, the other meaning I spoke of would be the anti-racism that everyone else seems to agree on. The two meanings/concepts seem to fit well together. |
