bir angel dust albümü ve albümle aynı ismi taşıyan nefis bir şarkı. buyrun bu da sözleri:
frightened shadows
appear behind the light
and the coldness seizes me
a paralyzing pain catches me again
can anybody tell me what's going on
another day is over
see horror on the screen
the shadows gonna
touch my heart
a skeleton hand
that bears all the grief
does lightly stroke my sleeping emphaty
can i leave and close my eyes
for one more night
can i pay to be set free
of all this pain
that makes me bleed
gotta meet the pries
and ask for his help
will the collection
heal my soul
can money clear the temple
of prejudice and lies
can i reach heaven and enter paradise
beams of fire sweep through my head
thrusts of pain increasingly engaged
sensory receptors succumb
i am no one now only agony
my crimson liquid so frantically spilled
the ruby fluid of life unleashed
ripples ascend to the surface of my eyes
their red pens drawing at random, at will
a myriad pains begotten in their wake
the bastard spawn of a mutinous self
the regurgitation of my micro nemesis
salivating red at the prospect of my ruin, my doom
malfunction the means for its ascent
bloodletting the stringent voice to beckon my soul
so futile any resisting tension
as death-induced mechanics propel its growth
the implement, the device of my extinction
the terminating clockwork of my gleeful bane
the definitive scourge of its mockery
the end-art instruments lethality attained
heed - it commands, heed my will
bleed - it says, bleed you will
falling into the clarity of undoing
scornful gods haggle for my soul
minds eye flickers and vellicates as i let go
taunting whispers accompany my deletion
a sneering grin, the voice of my reaper
chanting softly the song of depletion
meshuggah'in obzen albümünün en dikkat çekici parçası olmasının yanısıra, metal tarihinin gelmiş geçmiş en psikopat en akıllara zarar double bass performanslarından birini barındırır. tomas haake kişisi davulun ırzına geçer adeta. sanırım hayatımda twin pedalın bu kadar karışık ve bu kadar seri biçimde kullanıldığına ilk kez tanık oluyorum. tomas haake, 7 dakika boyunca ayaklarıyla motor gibi aksak ritim tutarken ağzımdan damlayan salyaları zor topladım. sadece bu şarkı için "davul yarışması" düzenlendiğini de belirtmekte yarar var.
Burnt all the bridges I have passed
No looking back to the life I once had
-The hate for myself is all that's left now
"As blood runs down my arms
I feel peace in my heart..."
On my skin the razor blade is shining bright
The veins show clearly through, my blood is running wild
This wrath that runs inside my veins
This hate that burns inside the ruins of my heart
I've got to let it out
I can't control it anymore
"As blood runs down my heart
I feel peace in my heart..."
On my skin the razor blade is shining bright
The veins show clearly through, my blood is running wild
The deep red flowing within, longing to be free
A little pressure's all it takes to make me bleed...to death
bittikten sonra kendimi matematik olimpiyatlarından çıkmış gibi hissettiğim şarkıdır. yemin ediyorum dinlerken beynimin suyu akıyor, bunu besteleyip çalana insan demek suç olmalı.
it's all i wanted
it's all i could see
you can watch me bleed
settle your belief inside of me
take someone beside you
realize this ain't your love to break
and the someone beside you
settle your belief inside of me, me
feeling in your heart
was more than i could see here
it's all i wanted
it's all i could see
you can watch me bleed
settle your belief inside of me, me
feeling in your heart
was more than i could see, here
feeling in your heart
was more than i could see
one and two is three
would you should you could you cut me down down
would you should you could you cut me down down
down down
would you should you could you cut me down down
down down down
down down
down down
canlı performanslarında denk gelince bir şarkının nasıl da bu kadar ''kusursuz'' olabileceğini düşündüm. hepsinden de öte, sıra dışı bir albüm olan obzen yaratıcılık unsurlarının zorlandığı, sekiz telli gitar sanatının en icra edildiği albüm ve şarkıdır.
