Gravitational Constant: G = 6.67 x 10^-8 cm^-3 gm^-1 sec^-2 Lyrics
I don't wanna live no more
And I've got no more love to give
Tonight's the night
I'll paint the town red
I'll put another hole through my head
Unjustifiable
Unjustifiable existence
Unjustifiable existence
I've seen the future
The future looks black
It's what I must do
I have no reservations
Ain't talking bout self preservation
Unjustifiable
Unjustifiable existence
Unjustifiable existence
Crushing me
Gravity
Crushing me
Crushing me
Crushing me
Forcing me between myself and the ground
Of all the nightmares that ever came true
I think that gravity (gravity) is you
Unjustifiable
Unjustifiable existence
Unjustifiable existence
Crushing me
Gravity
Crushing me
Crushing me
Crushing me
A problem with hate
I can't go on dragging this weight
A cold steel hand that won't let go
Acid-filled thoughts out of control
With bars of anger and a lock of rage
I can't help asking who's got the key
When I know damned well it's me
I'm used to dealing with apathy
The scars on my wrist may seem like a crime
Just wish me better luck next time
You think I'm insane but I have no regrets
One more time won't matter no question
Suicide is self-expression.
you got to be shitting me. not a single post on this song? for shame fellow type o fans.
Well the song is pretty straight forward. I could picture Peter writing this on the top on a tall building... Looking over the edge and calculating the gravitational constent to find how fast he'd be going when he hits the ground at a splat.
He is talking about the weight of life. And, also incorporating terminal velocity as a little black humour.
JUST SAY YES!
my favorite thing about this song is the chorus at the end (it sounds like one of Enslaved's vikin choruses). It's permanently stuck in my head, and I don't think it's ever coming out.
its songs lik this that r my favs by TON, helplessly depressed and having thoughts of suicide. this is amazing live [peter usually yells kill yourself at one point and says i can see god quite often]
This is actually a sarcastic, playful song. Type O at their best. An epic masterpiece composition.
An angry suicidal tirade about something that is keeping him down, and that thing is, Gravity!
"of all the nightmares that evercame true, Gravity it's you!"
It's really a fun song about how one can be driven to the brink, and then blame it on damned Gravity, for keeping him down, literally keeping him down.
The depth of the song is in the realness of the downward spiral he sings about, as if he is truly suicidal. It makes you examine life and reality...
