Meshuggah – Electric Red Lyrics

Rock

Humanity free from our bones
Deprived of the continuance that made us breath
Shells of flesh to maintain the system
Our own blood splashes as we kneel

So we're dreadfully machined
Into things of pity and devices
Puppets, victims of passive crowds
We're playing at each other's crowds

We torment the accumulations of flesh
In abhorrent and filthy twilight
Nude witnesses to the game
Inches to keep the most of life's height

With our fabric concealing the stains
The red tainted our existence
The labels to which you've sewed us
Yet still we reach towards new bloody triumphs

We give in to the atrophied
To the draining of self-knowledge
The purpose of the human mind revealed
Everlasting ignorance realized

The scarlet drawn in the nature's powerlessness
The impasse which life relieves of hatred

Every false shade defiled
The eye, the colour, the shade
Of ill-attained red
