They Move Below - Meshuggah

Come back to me and take me riding Let's just get physical don't wanna talk There's a lump at the base Stuck in the middle of my clavicle I'm a clever girl To keep my mouth shut The meaning hasn't come up yet It's still under the surface Below the clavicle Below the clavicle I'll wait cats got my bait Severed on a plate Worst would be to regret What I said Quiet as the blood on my bed Quiet as the blood on my bed Below the clavicle Below the clavicle Come back to me and take me riding Let's just get physical don't wanna talk There's a lump at the base Stuck in the middle of my clavicle I'm a clever girl To keep my mouth shut The meaning hasn't come up yet It's still under the surface Below the clavicle Below the clavicle

Imposter Where are the seams in your crooked mask? Duplicate Why do you drape yourself in familiar skin? Automaton You merely imitate who I once loved You cannot be You cannot be You cannot be The echo maker took you from me Through eventide I wander blind Twilight eyes, seeking sight Amber designs Melt raptured skies Obscured lies, your glowing mind Nature has a cunning way To find our weakest spots Oh Delphic replica You shift me back to Ithaka Where we once fell in endless blue A hue no longer found in you In tongues, you emit memory In tongues, you emulate But your once earthly kiss, now alien Persuades me that you imitate You imitate You imitate I disassociate Beneath a golden temple of delusion I drain the honey Each Drip Falling from the tree of sight Each Drip A sun in my eyes And In That final drip I recognise you Through eventide (through eventide) I wander blind (I wander blind) Twilight eyes, seeking sight Amber designs (amber designs) Melt raptured skies Obscured lies, my glowing mind The fruit of my tree are sick and few Infection seething through and through I dance deluded in a chemical downpour Hoping that i'll see you once more To feel that vibrant love in agape Devoid of all chicanery To see the mask removed To see the colours of truth Melt, melt the amber To see the crystal blue Melt the amber To see the crystal blue Melt Melt the amber

Lucid, at the edge of the sky The blood moon calls to me As the sun burns out its light Numina: hold my hands, whilst I dance with entropy I can't bear to feel your sultry grip slip away from me Please don't let go, don't let me fall Into the darkness Into the angst and woe The angst and woe Into the angst and woe "Breathe," she says "Breath in the night..." The cold air will open your eyes To the other side, the other side of the divine "Bliss will not escort you through this forlorn abyss But wisdom and perception will greet you at the rift" "Heed these words, for once you flourish they will not last There's only so much sand in an hourglass" "Once you make the fall, all light will disappear This darkness will entomb you You'll find love with achlyss" This darkness will entomb you You'll find love Spiraling Endlessly Is this what it takes for ourselves to be free? If I give in to everything Will I be one with the mantra within? To kiss the lips of melancholy To hold hands with the mist of grief The echoes of the ancient ones, bid me to dance with death Everything, everything I loved was merely the shadow of youth My soul's voice calls out to Shiva Present to me your eternal mantra

The devils dance with me as I descend Such beauty smothers me; Euphoric dissonance Unmask the beauty in the abyss Where the ones with no eyes, sing elegies at my feet I dared to fix my eyes upon the light I stared so deep my vision was consumed And as I observed what it held in its depths The dreams i had lost Began to bloom Began to bloom Began to bloom Began to bloom Its creation, omniscient Such as the scattered leaves of time Its elegance fused in such a way That what i now describe Is but a glimmer of that light My thoughts, like black smoke, arose from my skull And shattered the sky that once shone above A broken symphony calls to me from the flames A haunting orchestra caressing the dreams i crave When I got lost in depths Their minds got lost in the flood I yearn for what they fear for, what they fear for Purgatory my love, take my soul and set it free I yearn for what they fear for, what they fear for When I got lost in depths Their minds got lost in the flood I yearn for what they fear for, what they fear for Purgatory my love, take my soul and set it free I yearn for what they fear for, what they fear for It was only in the nocturne, that she came to me A constricted figment of my discoveries A solemn guide that knew me better than I Who let me out of this pathetic lullaby Purgatory's calling out to me It was only in the nocturne that I came to her An unbound spirit from the mind of sepulchre When I got lost in depths Their minds got lost in the flood I yearn for what they fear for, what they fear for Purgatory my love, take my soul and set it free I yearn for what they fear for, what they fear for When I got lost in the depths, their minds lost in the flood Purgatory my love, take my soul and set it free Devil! Show me the light Devil! Can you show me the light? Devil! Let me indulge in the blight

Squint your eyes to see clearly Blur reality to make it real Let focus go from your deceiving eyes To know what's been concealed We've all been blinded Subjects to visual misinformation A systematic denial of the crystalline To see the fine grain To read the hidden words The context of parallel truth Devoid of fragmentation Our light-induced image of truth Filtered blank of its substance As our eyes won't adhere to intuitive lines Everything examined, separated, one thing at a time The harder we stare, the more complete the disintegration Dissolution Eyes re-opened Reasoning focalized Receptors activated Perspectives distorted The ladder beyond our grasp The twin-headed serpent forever hidden Where's the true knowledge? Where engines of the sane and insanity merge The clarity, the unity Reality untouchable, transparent Invisible to our fixed, restricted fields of vision Existence taken for granted, absolute Possessed, owned, controlled By the common sense-infected rational gaze Onward forever we walk among the ignorant Never stray from the common lines

Beams of fire sweep through my head Thrusts of pain increasingly engaged Sensory receptors succumb And now I know all the 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 Mind's 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

Strive, strive, surmount the obstacles Become the essence of your goals, hereditary dream Pray that you may attain that destiny Fall into the coveted line Where life is but a theme of pretense in lustrous guise Claims and values, charts of means and status Plaques to show your strife Do your neighbor clones approve? Picture perfect illustration, imitation of life Where the path is evened out, all obstructions removed Great, viable citizen Are you happy now? Then praise your god and bow Shimmering surface The gleam of blinding lies Become the product The thing you so desire To what length would you go to reach your goals? What mantra will you use to justify your means? Who will you betray to secure your dream? What sins will you commit to avoid your sins to be seen? Do not look down Do not look down Or the abysmal beast of nonconformity might Stare some unpleasant truth into your desensitized mind Shimmering surface The gleam of blinding lies Become the product The thing you so desire

Skyline draped in shimmering red Irradiant and treacherous Neon prophecies hail the end, the capital of piety Totalitarianopolis, city of dread The glorious streets of dystopia continuously running red This is where self is relinquished Autonomy sacrificed The idolatry of tyrants compulsory Welcome all to MonstroCity where norm is that of the insane All is illusion in MonstroCity Bow to it, it knows your name Relishing the idea of damnation "The wailing and gnashing of teeth" They know for sure where judgment's due "What's above and what's beneath" This is where we fail, where the self-righteous reign The empire of imaginary ghosts This is blind credulity's domain MonstroCity In here everyone knows "the truth" Which unforgiving icon is real Intolerance and prejudice saturates their zeal This is where self is relinquished Autonomy sacrificed The idolatry of tyrants compulsory
