Assimilate Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Kingofstilport 

Cover art for Assimilate	 lyrics by Machine Head

While this song is a simple interlude that’s basically the intro to the next track, “Kill Thy Enemies,” it offers a glimpse into the Eros being radicalized by a charismatic leader whose words strung chords deep in him. He's voicing all the things that he thinks deep inside, thoughts he shunned previously, but now surface since he's lost himself to loss and anger. He begins aligning with the sect or ideology, adopting violence, and assimilating into the system of vengeance, becoming more than just a victim.
