    Lyrics:
    New Millennium Cyanide Christ
    I'm a carnal, organic anagram
    Human flesh instead of written letters
    I rearrange my pathetic tissue
    I incise, I replace, I'm reformed
    I eradicate the fake, pre-present me
    Elevate me to a higher human form
    The characters I am
    Made into a word complete then I'll be the new norm
    Self inflicted fractures
    I replace my bones with bars
    Aluminum bleeding oxide
    The drug of Gods into my pounding veins
    My receiving eyes exchanged with fuses
    Blindness induced to prevent destruction
    Ceramic blades implanted
    Past my ribs to save me from the dues of inhalation
    I tear my worldly useless skin
    Staples to pin it over my ears
    Non-receptive of ungodly sounds
    I disable the audio generators of fear
    Hexagonal bolts to fill my mouth
    Sharpened to deplete
    The creator of all violence
    Without speech there will be no deceit
    Baptized in vitriolic acid
    A final touch, a smoothing of features
    Completion of the greatest art
    To cast the godly creatures
    Humans, once astray, made divine
    Stripped of congenital flaws
    We're incandescent
    Revelations in a world of darkened forms
    Disciples, come join with me
    To save a failed humanity
    Follow the God of cyanide
    Into the new eternity
    Behold a sacrificial erase
    A cleansing worshiping of pain
    The new millennium Christ
    Here to redeem all from lies, lies
    #Meshuggah #Chaosphere #AtomicFireRecords

      Yaz Stone this is in 4/4 time...adding poly rhythms doesn't change a songs time signature.

    • @YazGuitarChannel
      @YazGuitarChannel 9 років тому +67

      This is NOT in 4/4 time. And also, there are different time signatures overlapping here. None of the various meters are in 4/4, except perhaps for short intervals. But, before this escalates, the primary purpose of the comment was for humour, not music theory. If you can't hear the joke properly, you probably can't hear the music properly either.

      I won't call them underground. They have millions of fans, they're very well-known and respected among metal fans, even if they don't like Meshuggah.
      Just because it's not mainstream, doesn't make it underground.
      I'd call something like DOROTHY underground, bands that really don't go on the radar that much. It's just that people who listen almost exclusively mainstream or don't listen to much music at all, tend to ignore metal as genre, along it's sub-genres and others.

    First time i heard this song was back on 2001, on a pirate tape a friend got for me.
    :( I went fucking nuts cause i couldn't get an original copy anywhere, until i got the disc on 2009.
    I even started making music because of this song, i never got the chance to buy a guitar, but i had a shitty casio keyboard!! and made some random electronic songs with just a cheap ass midi cable and free software, hoping to be metal songs someday.
    I never thought I would have the chance to watch you guys live, and 15 years later you are here, just 100 feet away !!
    I screamed every song at the top of my lungs, i can barely talk right now.
    (I don't have much money, and I never go to concerts, probably this was going to be the only chance i had to watch you guys live! so

    I have never laughed so hard at a metal video. And the funny thing is, what they play on their 'air' instruments, is actually right :p like the drummer. That dude! Awesome!

      It's pretty much a live performance if someone took their instruments out of their hands and replaced then with the props before they started playing

    I think something that speaks to the awesomeness of this song is that it sounds like 3 completely different songs at 75%, 100%, and 125% speed. I don't know, it just reminds me of the importance of tempo and drive in a song.
