Sane Lyrics

Cover art for Sane lyrics by Meshuggah

Holy crap, this is the most aggressive song I've ever heard... Definitely the most pounding song on the whole album. I already feel exausted after listening to it for one minute.

As for it's meaning, like others said I think this song is obviously about manipulation and brainwashing. Misuse within organized religion indeed seems well fit for this song (although I have no idea where the "SAAAAAANE!!!!!!!!! MEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!" part fits in).

Also, I think the lines

"Come and hear my twisted lies, the way I bend and falsify A master of deception, user of an untrue smile A rapist of the truth, adapting it to fit my cause"

"Bury, cover up, repress. I betray the people I "possess" What ever enemy - I'll disable with mendacity I make my way, extend my ground, I clear my future-path When it comes to joys, manipulation is my game of choice"

"My intentions soon you will see The sway of my scheme, imposed upon all Come follow me, my puppets to be, I'll attach my strings, manipulation begins"

are a great description of president Bush jr. and his 'War On Terror'.
