Mindphaser Lyrics
"Jesus had days like this" [Robocop 2]
"Cyborgs - cybernetic organisms" [Robocop 2]
"Machines with living human tissue and programmed to destroy" [Robocop 2]
The silence is deafening
regression hangs in the air
A motionless world sits waiting
for new codes
A war of technology
threatens to ignite
Digital murder - the language of machines [cite from Clock DVA]
Chorus:
Mesmerized by a decade of faith
Flowers and remorse
A fading vision lost in time
Tragedy on course
Synthetic conspiracy
Masters of the human race
The mind now knows
new levels of fear
Implanted brain cells
Control is gone
We seem to believe
Truth is regression
The tension shows, tension shows
The tension shows, tension shows
"A quantum leap forward" [Robocop 2]
[Chorus]
"Full OCP binary cyborg technology" [Robocop 2]
"State of the art destructive capabilities" [Robocop 2]
"Commanded by a unique combination of software and organic systems" [Robocop 2, 12" only]
"Jesus had days like this" [Robocop 2]
"????"
The target we seek
slowly comes into sight
The countdown begins
for launch into hell
The tension begins, tension begins
The tension begins
[Chorus]
"State of the art destructive capabilities" [Robocop 2]
The kill is swift
it makes no sound
Aggression take its toll
Rhythm of violence
cuts through the air
There's no more control
The sky turns brighter, an evil red
Missiles fly through the air
Shattered dreams
Shattered hopes
There's bodies everywhere
regression hangs in the air
A motionless world sits waiting
for new codes
threatens to ignite
Digital murder - the language of machines [cite from Clock DVA]
Mesmerized by a decade of faith
Flowers and remorse
A fading vision lost in time
Tragedy on course
Masters of the human race
The mind now knows
new levels of fear
Control is gone
We seem to believe
Truth is regression
The tension shows, tension shows
slowly comes into sight
The countdown begins
for launch into hell
The tension begins
it makes no sound
Aggression take its toll
Rhythm of violence
cuts through the air
There's no more control
The sky turns brighter, an evil red
Missiles fly through the air
Shattered dreams
Shattered hopes
There's bodies everywhere

SOOO GOOD
ah!
Looks like the song is about a war between humans and robots. The music video for this song rules: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLg70a-slao&search=mindphaser
This sounds less like a war against machines by humans and more about the problems associated with the increasing influence of technology within humans themselves, and how this will eventually lead to them relinquishing control over their own minds.
An interesting lyric is "The mind now knows / new levels of fear". If there was a way to reprogram the human mind through technological means, then surely it could be possible that new, stronger forms of pain and fear could be programmed in.
The song is a reflection on those ideas, I think.
Still as fucking outstanding as it was 24 yrs ago. Classic FLA
