Sealed Human Lyrics
The body dances to the beat
Of the noises from the street
As patterns, grids, and schedules go
We took a subway to the show
So give us this day our daily commute
On the bus in three piece suits
Say goodbye, kiss and ride
On the way to the club, look outside
The movement kills in several ways
Although we see it as delay
The steering wheel, a guillotine
The body dances to the beat
Wife: "Take the subway, fuck the street"
The flesh twists between the gap
And passengers are also trapped
Inertia pushed them all along
But they wont make it to their next stop
Patrons complain about the wait
While the man outside can't feel his legs
Man: "Just pull me out, save my life"
But all the cops can do is phone his wife
She drives as fast as she can
And gets caught up in a traffic jam
(Sub balance hearing tracks twisted spun victim flesh patron brakes friction service)
Of the noises from the street
As patterns, grids, and schedules go
We took a subway to the show
So give us this day our daily commute
On the bus in three piece suits
Say goodbye, kiss and ride
On the way to the club, look outside
The movement kills in several ways
Although we see it as delay
The steering wheel, a guillotine
The body dances to the beat
Wife: "Take the subway, fuck the street"
The flesh twists between the gap
And passengers are also trapped
Inertia pushed them all along
But they wont make it to their next stop
Patrons complain about the wait
While the man outside can't feel his legs
Man: "Just pull me out, save my life"
But all the cops can do is phone his wife
She drives as fast as she can
And gets caught up in a traffic jam

"take the subway, fuck the street"... among my favorite lyrics of all time. nice song - sounds happy, isn't... typical faint.
Along the lines of Cars Pass in Cold Blood, I love the reference to the impatience and seeming unempathy to accidents in transit.
the sweet, sad irony at the end brings me to tears. great songwriting. crazy beats. the faint rock the fuck out.
Reminds me of Boston traffic and public transit.
Reminds me of Boston traffic and public transit.
love this song, if you listen carefully aftereach of the things said within the brackets you will hear 'the human arrives, sealed'
song is basically about a crash that could have easily been avoided by taking the street and not the subway, obviously this appears on a much larger scale in real life, every day situations, all of our choices in life contribute to our future and therefore our death.
This reminds me of that episode of some cop drama, before Vincent D'Onofrio(sp?) hit it with Criminal Intent, where the guy gets hit with the subway car, and it twists his body. He's alive, but the second they move the car out of the way he'll die, so he's just I think waiting on his wife actually, to say goodbye before they basically kill him. This episode was a HUGE DEAL.
"So give us this day our daily commute"
reminds me of the part of the Lord's prayer that says: Give us this day our daily bread
Yeah, it reminds me of Sealed Human too. and def not normal Faint, it's such a happy, major sounding background.
^^^^^I meant Cars Pass in Cold Blood!!^^^
