Extreme Masochist Lyrics
Boil my flesh in your pot of hate
Eat my tongue 'til my memories fade
Stick needles through my eyes
Show me the truth, not fucking lies
Give me real torture
Torture is pain
Give me a real life
Life is pain
Give me real torture
Torture is pain
Give me a real life
Life is pain
Split my face in your mirror of lies
Shoot down my clouds from blissful skies
Break my bones with your hammer of pity
Drag my corpse out of the city
Give me real torture
Torture is pain
Give me a real life
Life is pain
Give me real torture
Torture is pain
Give me a real life
Life is pain
Show me heaven and show me hell
Show me a world that I can't sell
Give me an experience I'll never forget
Eternal life, internally dead
Give me real torture
Torture is pain
Give me a real life
Life is pain
Give me real torture
Torture is pain
Give me a real life
Life is pain
Give me real torture
Torture is pain
Give me a real life
Life is pain
Eat my tongue 'til my memories fade
Stick needles through my eyes
Show me the truth, not fucking lies
Torture is pain
Give me a real life
Life is pain
Give me real torture
Torture is pain
Give me a real life
Life is pain
Shoot down my clouds from blissful skies
Break my bones with your hammer of pity
Drag my corpse out of the city
Torture is pain
Give me a real life
Life is pain
Give me real torture
Torture is pain
Give me a real life
Life is pain
Show me a world that I can't sell
Give me an experience I'll never forget
Eternal life, internally dead
Torture is pain
Give me a real life
Life is pain
Give me real torture
Torture is pain
Give me a real life
Life is pain
Give me real torture
Torture is pain
Give me a real life
Life is pain

“Extreme Masochist” is about the paradoxical desire for pain as a form of authenticity. The antihero rejects comfort, illusion, and pity, demanding instead the raw truth of suffering. The refrain — “Give me real torture / Torture is pain / Give me a real life / Life is pain” — crystallizes the song’s philosophy: life without pain is meaningless, and only through torment can one feel truly alive.
The song can be read as both literal and metaphorical: a masochistic embrace of agony, but also a critique of a world where suffering is the only constant. It reflects the existentialist influence on Coma Beach’s work, echoing Beckett’s absurdism and Schopenhauer’s pessimism, while channeling punk’s raw defiance.
Track #9 from the album “The Scapegoat’s Agony”:
Having spiralled through various delusions of grandeur and humiliation, the unnamed antihero experiences emotional catharsis by facing head-on the painful and torturous reality of the human condition.
