Suffer In Truth Lyrics

tortured soul ripping skin into ashes
blind by pain deaf by lies
smell of freedom violently cuts
forgiveness
power to a being never dies
suffer in truth's narrow passage saw
weak solutions stabbed to now know
the smile of obliterations face

penetrating through the void of life
a dance with the dead
buried in oblivion stolen from the mind
constant starving never fed

contamined life is fading
laughing in my face
suffer in deception
manipulated not to feel
slain beleifs abandoned dreams
a life of misery

suffer in truth

the wounds of a soul in pain
a mirror of life
dreams all in vain
life will always be sealed

i see ... unseen
i feel ... unseen

suffer in truth

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The lyrics are somewhat nebulous (even for Meshuggah), but I think the greater objective of the song is to offer a glimpse into profound angst. The maddening truths of life cast the speaker into despair, and the "I see... unseen/I feel... unseen" part is the resulting nihilistic concession. It's interesting to note that this is one of the few Meshuggah songs in which the lyrics were not written by drummer Tomas Haake, but by vocalist Jens Kidman.

It definitely does say "contaminated". There are five syllables, and "terminated" only has four.
