Combustion Lyrics

Cover art for Combustion lyrics by Meshuggah

This song is about awakening. It's about the realization of how hateful and corrupt mankind truly is, thrust on the protagonist, which is until that point dormant, thinking that everything is working correctly. It tells us about how all the illusions and masks fall apart (or combust, if you will) Like many of their songs, despite portraying some very harsh images, it actually has a positive message.
