Body Dome Light Lyrics

Cover art for Body Dome Light lyrics by Godflesh

i remember when 'selfless' came out i maligned "body dome light" as a sort of big dumb rock thing, but listening to it again fifteen(!) years on, i'm struck by how totally bizarre this song is. it has this kind of boneheaded riff pushing it along, but the doubled/shifted vocals and the electronics that kick in on the chorus and the bridge put it in a category by itself, somewhere between self-parody and complete psychosis. no clue what the lyrics are alluding to; the title almost makes it sound like a paean to your car's interior light.
