Story To Tell Lyrics
Drifting into the lives
Seep into the soul where emotions hide
Dark skies were beating me down
With shadows of deceit slashing at
Trust till it forever bleeds
With doubt, with pain, with trust
Is pain
When you think of me in your
Multidimensional mind, try and wash the
"Evil" from your mind and open it
When you taste the truth you will
See like others before me, to you
I am past, a story to tell
Tell it
You may think you own the end
Take another close look at the script
Of sadness etched in the book
Seep into the soul where emotions hide
Dark skies were beating me down
With shadows of deceit slashing at
Trust till it forever bleeds
With doubt, with pain, with trust
Multidimensional mind, try and wash the
"Evil" from your mind and open it
See like others before me, to you
I am past, a story to tell
Tell it
Take another close look at the script
Of sadness etched in the book

Sounds like Schuldiner commenting on the now-legendary personal problems he had with some of the guys he used to work with, or with people who got close to him in general. Chuck was known to be rather difficult to work with and tended to have a new lineup for nearly every record -- or to hear him tell it, he was largely misunderstood and didn't meet people he was comfortable working with longterm up until the last few records.
In any case it sounds like he's talking about betrayal, loss of trust or etc. "Evil Chuck" was his nickname from the earlier days when they used to sing more typical guts-and-gore deathmetal stuff, so that's almost certainly what he's referring to. "I am past, a story to tell" ... Chuck's grammar and phrasing were always a little odd so it's hard to tell what exactly he's saying here, but I think it's either
a) "I am past having a story to tell," ie. he's at a point in life where he's worried about something more than gossip, impressing people, etc, possibly a reaction to former bandmates or etc. telling stories about him in this fashion, or
b) "I am the past; I am a story to tell" ie. he realizes that he's reached a point in his career where he will always be iconic, always have people talking about him, always be made out to be some larger-than-life figure.
absolutely amazing solos...
"You may think you own the end Take another close look at the script"
eternal genius...
Looking back at this a couple of years later, I take that statement back slightly. It might not be.
I think it's about a guy who is dead and "thinks" of someone (a friend) he trusted, but who betrayed him.
Makes sence?
It shows in a exhausting world of gossip is all plastic. Others opinions can become stagnate without considering how you have changed and what you have accomplished.
Beautiful song.
