This song is the first track off the album with the same name from 2011. You're right, the verses aren't very lengthy, but this album was meant to be taken as a journey from beginning to end with a specific theme, that being the inevitability of death. This is why in this song being the first one of the album it was important for them to convey and emphasize the message of the chorus: We are ghosts of the concrete world, genetic codes of a dying breed. The world and the universe are so much more lasting than us, being so ephemeral, that we're like mere ghosts, and our genetic code might be so complex and intricate, but we're still "designed to die". This statement in the lyrics functions as a premise for the rest of the album, where you can find different sentiments, such as dealing with grief, mourning, the desire to escape death, and the ultimate coming to grips with the fact that death is coming for you too. Some people don't like this album because it was the first one without Jesper Stromblad and fans felt like the sound of the album wasn't "true In Flames" without Jesper, but I must admit that it is my favorite In Flames album, so if you're willing, I'd say it's worth a good listen. Cheers from Spain!
Do the one with the soprano Emilia Feldt it's so beautiful, "When the worlds explode". Love your reactions man 🤘I could recognice Anders voice half unconscious.....
Love both bands but IN FLAMES are my favorite band ever If you want to check out another swedish band try ORBIT CULTURE maybe the song from the inside they do not dissapoint
In Flames bar none no contest! However as far as American metal. Trivium is incredible. And if you haven’t yet you should definitely check out Wolfheart. They’re dropping a new song on 9/8/23. Going to be AMAZING!
Hahaha! Yeah, definitely a song they probably made without much trouble, yet so good! :D

The video does not include the instrumental opening interlude before the main riff starts. I feel that was a mistake.
