Self Bias Resistor Lyrics
Open your swollen eyes
Erosion invades your mind
A cancer that grows over time
Rise to fight, eliminate
Burn your fuse to detonate
The human machines of hate
To your knees
Anger scours right through your veins
Now it's time to put an end
To all the lies
Now it's time to take control
Of your life
Open minds will dominate
Burn your fuse to detonate
The human machines of hate
To your knees
Anger scours right through your veins
Now it's time to put an end
To all the lies
Now it's time to take control
Of your life
Life
Life
Life
You can't believe
Machines of hate
A disease that infiltrates
Resist their insolence
You are a dissident
Burn away conformity
Resist their insolence
You are a dissident
Burn away conformity
To your knees
Anger scours right through your veins
Now it's time to put an end
To all the lies
Now it's time to take control
Of your life
They have tried to break you
They have tried to break you
They have tried to break you
These lyrics are quality. I think it's about "you" - yourself not wanting to believe.
its about rebelling against the 'insolent' government
Resist becoming one with the machine. That's what this is about. The machine, the government, society the system, trying to make you conform. Resist. :)
i dont think it's just about government, i think it's people in general. there are people in everybody's life that will try to break you to your knees, as if they're machines fueled by hate, with no other purpose but to break you. i love this song, it makes me feel motivated.
oh yea, i'd also like to say if there was one sound i wish i could walk around with playing constantly it would be the very end of this song, or the techno remix which just amplifies the melody at the end. i love it.
I think it's more about standing up against mediocrity and conformity. To stop living the life they want you to live, to not grow up and do something special or take something seriously.
Unfortunately in today's society, to do things your way obviously seems to make you a 2nd class citizen, who isn't living a life filled with lies.
Again, no, people are missing the point - Demanufacture is a concept album - and thus this is again a "fuck you" to the machines - however as later songs show - the rebellion being encouraged (as the machines begin to take over I would assume) is quashed.
This song was remixed on the Remanufacture album under the title "Machines of Hate".
Hm, one point. Do you know that such thing as a self-bias resistor doesn't exist? Well, try to interpret the song (resistor is a passive element by the way...)
I listened to this today for the first time in ages, and Burtons vocals on the chorus still send shivers down my spine and make me want to raise my voice with his. Even after 7 years of listening, this song is still as relevent and powerful as it was when it was first written. Timeless and brilliant.
