Lyrics:
Clockworks
Dismantling the clockwork that makes me the cynic
Pallet, wheel and click
The properties of my indifference
Reverse-engineering what makes it tick
Dissecting the finetuned mechanism
Rack and barrel, spring and pin
Its synchronous characteristics
To kill what makes it spin
Disassemble this machinery
Re-program these eyes, undo this design
Labelled and filed, each part indexed
Broken to pieces then thoroughly burned
Deconstruction of what I am
Buried to make sure he never returns
Taken apart, defused, blueprints turned to ashes
Eradicate the last remains, remnants of the insane
Disintegration, the destruction of me now imperative
To purge myself of this condition, complete this dissolution a necessity
Break this deceitful machine
A lie, what once I was, obsolete instrument
An outmoded contraption, a malfunctioning device
That callous self now extinguished, that malignant self now disused
That conceited invention to nothing now reduced
Complete disintegration, the destruction of me now imperative
To purge myself of this condition, complete this dissolution a necessity
Break this deceitful machine

Conversation from the year 2139:
"So, where do you live?"
"I live in the upper meshuggah Mega structure."
"Oh, Must be nice."
hahahahahaha
"Hell yeah man. Nonstop lightning. I'll never sleep again."

_This song is just nominated for Grammy Best Metal Performance_
Congrats Meshuggah !
MIZORAM - Mafaka Hnamte so sad that Grammy hasn't balls to nominate 2 years in a row metal band in rock album which isn't called metallica
Even though they didn't win thats a huge honor!
(we all know they deserved it)
Grammy is too few. They deserve ODIN'S HONORS.
Fuck the ''Grammy's''
I have been Following their polyrhythms and I have become so good at maths that now I'm a physicist at a particle accelerator lab doing quantum calculations
that's true.
I did the same and ended up dropping art college and now i'm a computer scientist.

Oh, you haven’t made it yet then.

I think the best comment about these guys is from Deftones' Stephen Carpenter: "Meshuggah are the quantum physics of music as far as I'm concerned."
Riccardo Occhionero Was it him or Robert Trujillo who said that listening to the Shuggah makes him feel like his DNA is evolving?
Then Deftones should be the soul of the music :)
@@Meshuggapeth Robert
They are a Djent machine
I read that on Music Choice: Metal, but I don't think it said who said it.
The best drumming I've heard in a very long time. I still jam to this till this day.
The secret of life is a mathematical equation found hidden in their tabs
The riffs...its like ninjas playing with chopped wood
hahaha, amazing
Meshuggah would not be Meshuggah without Jens. These people complaining about him is rediculous. He sounds amazing on this record like always.
Meshuggah is the perfect band for people who don't want the band they like to change AT. ALL. They're nothing if not amazingly consistent across all of their post-DEI albums. I don't mean any of this as an insult or a compliment. They're cool dudes and the music is there to enjoy for those who enjoy it, and that's a great thing.
All the other members of Meshuggah unanimously agree: Jens has the most difficult job in the band. Just being handed lyrics then figuring out the phrasing to go with that insane music and get it all to sound natural? And he consistently nails it!
doesnt change the fact that jens end product sounds shit
I don't agree. He sounds Chaosphere-good on this album.
@Tom Maw - You said that perfectly.
Meshuggah are the only band where all 5 members can headbang to a different time signature.

The melodic riff at 2:30 is so powerful.
It is👍

Dude this video probably took like 1 year to render.
amen to that
ya ur not kidding, or some rly expensive hardware
A far cry from the Millennium Cyanide Christ video 😂
@Wonderpuss McDunderpants that song absolutely spanks
@@martyg8137 Plot twist: New Millennium Cyanide Christ....was actually CGI.
I watched this once while peaking on an acid trip.
It was the correct decision.
Yeah wtf this is god tier metal and animation. Lucky traveller.
Drugs are bad mkay
It was probably inspired by smoked DMT. This machinescape has that high powered psychedelic written all over it. Although the hallucinations tend to be so immersive that watching a video at the same time is fairly pointless. And I'm very sorry Ron has been brainwashed by some cult that teaches psychedelics are bad. The prognosis is not good. When he dies and his pineal gland releases it, he'll be totally unprepared.
@Ron Maimon Don't put acid in your eyes. Basically, don't need explanation
@Ron Maimon The only thing you can get here is cimbi-5, other stuff is almost impossible.
This makes most metal seem like easy listening. Wow that was crazy.
I've been listening to these guys for a long time, and even I have my limit. It starts to mess with your head after a while.
I was out skateboarding today and I had this album playing.
Good. God. I could not keep my balance.
+Dianna If you haven't already, listen to Bleed from them, yoga class music XD btw i love how random your videos are
They outdone themselves with this album. Really, really impressive.
EXTREME!!! This kills so hard!
I love how all the insane geometry and patterns is shown to be a representation of what goes on in each of the band members minds at the end, very nicely done
That's what I thought too. It's like they're having a non-stop seisure or something.
mandelbulber!
SPOILERS :(
Its called Mandelbulb 3D
sick
Who needs drugs anyway, when you have a technical masterpiece with stunning visuals.
4:12 must be a strongest point metal has ever reached. You can hear the essence of rage, of primitive rhytms. Almost tribal like sound.
All that riff alone give a 10/0 to Bleed , in my opinion
The pedal too, holy sh#t
there's a weird edit on the vocal tho, caught me by surprise
@@solarnewborn Can u clarify, as far as my hearing goes sound pretty effect clean to me.
@@skyhunter996 It's nothing like a special audio effect. It's like it's one vocal take that is abruptly replaced with another take just before the riff comes in. Listen to closely to the vowel Jens is singing and how abruptly it changes from "ah" to "uh". I'm nitpicking of course, but I just found it interesting because I do a lot of music production.
I personally think all those djent bands simply don't get it while Meshuggah still sends shivers down my spine every single time
That's a fact
Most other djent bands are trying to construct normal songs with djent sounds. They have normal melodies overlaid with senseless palm muting. Meshuggah doesn't build melodies. They're kind of Beethoven-esque in how they establish an idea and build on it rather than try to make a catchy melody.
And this album kicks particular ass because they actually branch out throughout every song rather than play minor variations on whatever they established in the first twenty seconds (I'm especially looking at these last two albums).
+Philosomancy Very well said, I think the same thing. This album reminds me a lot of Catch 33 in the sound and how the riffs flow throughout.
they don't exist in the same universe as the djent bands. Meshuggah is just it's own thing.
amen to that
I've already seen 3 people complain about Jens. What the fuck?!? I think he sounds monsterous as always.
What was their complaint?Sounds ridiculous
Jared Martin they're complaining about his voice
Ignore it, its just the internet
People will complain about anything it seems lol
sounds like jens to me.
Holy fuck, this is just epic in every sense. Jesus I've been outta the metal loop too long and I'm missing out on some killer shit.
Welcome back brother
Probably the best music video ever made. Meshuggah is phenomenal, they are a band that many have tried to copy but they will always reign supreme and stand the test of time.
Periphery quotes Meshuggah every once in a while, their new song Dracul Gras has some Clockworks vibes at times. But it's never a copy, just an obvious nod to a band they cherish.
I always knew that these guys were secretly the Engineers from Prometheus. Now we have the proof.
First thing I thought when I saw it! \m/
Sam Abbott | But then it wouldn't have sucked! See what you mean though.
Not engineer physicists
The visuals are actually mathematical. They're 3D fractals.
Alien franchise is fucked .
I like my coffee with extra 'Shuggah
lol good one!
Never know what that coffee punch would end up with...
Ok.
No way.
Moshuggah for you then
Meshuggah is my neighbor's favorite band whether they like it or not.
Matej Horvat HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best comment ever
El Dea
Baahaaaaaa. Laugh out LOUD.
Hilarious!
wow this must be one of their best tracks honestly
Definitely in Top 10. Perfect to the end. That's a rare
It's the best one
The imitators get buried ever deeper.
TRIBAL RA impossible to imitate this... i mean some bands can try to copy but imitate ...dont think so
Can we be real? The only band thats REALLY imitated Meshuggah that Ive heard is "Vortice" lol
Until after the burial...strange there was a time when Meshuggah was still on the periphery of heavy metal.
it seems even previous meshuggah songs get buried under this onslaught of sheets of frozen steel, relentless and calculated
The nature of everything actually being a smaller part of larger things. Deeper forever.
Whoever matched the flashes in the video to the hits in the song must have ALL the patience. FAIR PLAY
It's probably algorithmically generated
They have a lighting guy who does it perfectly at their shows. My guess is that he had something to do with it.
I heard about that guy. Now there's a pro you want on your team.
Yeah, it's probably a programming script that recognizes the snare hits
***** it's sections per member, not just drums, the song was probably rewritten in midi and then accents of the instrument of particular member shown in video matched to light flashes
4:12
the loudest riff in universe
I think that bending riff from New Millenium Cyanide Christ is louder haha
where he starts with "DECIPLES!" Love it.
have you noticed a weird edit on the vocal there? kinda weird for a band like meshuggah
The video perfectly displays how their music feels: drifting further away from familiarity, yet at the same time revealing the bigger, more cohesive picture.
This is so heavy the CD probably weighs 25lbs.
Auto Clock - Best. Comment. Ever.
I bought all the albums off amazon. They were delivered by forklift, they were that heavy!!!!!!!!!!
Had to move mine into my back yard with a Sennebogen. The rear wheels were lifting a bit, so that gives you an idea of how heavy this album is.
The CD shipments were so heavy that they were delivered to retailers by the ton. If Nuclear Blast had pressed TVSOR on white vinyl, a stack of those would have been an ivory tower.
Auto Clock this CD is so heavy my car stereo fell through the floor into the transmission
im not even kidding, you can actually meditate to Meshuggah tunes
So true. I finished the video in a sort of meditative trance. It's more effective than any "binaural" beats or whatever that I've tried
If you can't meditate to meshuggah, you're meditating wrong...
I actually worked out to Meshuggah for years, from hardcore to just taking walks. No joke.
They are a very meditative band. Their music is really quite beautiful, as heavy as it is, its oddly uplifting to me.

For the past eight years, every time I see the word "clockwork" written I read it in Jens' voice. THE TERMINATING CLOCKWORRRK. I take this track as a direct personal tribute to this impact Meshuggah has had on my life. Much appreciated guys

Dude, bleed 20% slower fkn kicks ass!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

Meshuggah is so great it can impact your life eight years ago. Even though this was released only eighteen months ago.
That was one of the most captivating, unique, artistic, curious, beautiful, intriguing, complex, and mesmerizing music videos I have seen in a long time.
Lars Thomas Bremnes Scrooge what are you doing out this early? Christmas isn't for another couple of months...
hes just mad he's not in meshuggah. which is cool, because im pretty pissed off that im not that awesome, too. i loved the rythmic pulsating lights, that dudes just a dick.
J. Garcia
What in the world does it mean that I'm 'not in meshuggah'?
I didn't like the video and voiced my disagreement. It's not a big deal.
+Lars Thomas Bremnes "some CG" Looks like 3D fractals, which in itself is very interesting IMO.
Im coming to this video after watching a tool video. Im trippin balls right now
This is actually one of the best songs I’ve ever heard
Me too, how the hell are these dudes human?? A band hasn’t blew my mind this much since I’ve first discovered Fear Factory, now I’m over here wishing for a Fear Factory x Meshuggah tour! Got into Meshuggah way too late but it’s better late than never! Plus I see Meshuggah for my first time and front row in 56 days! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
...when you get out of the map in Halo 2
All this zooming out, now my screen looks like its trying to inflate
I see what you did there.
mine too. what a trip
same wtf
you're not shitting, same happened to me
Aww shit. And I thought I was just drunk.
I'm a fellow fractal artist who's been watching Julius Horsthuis's work for years and Meshuggah is my favorite band. Seeing that he made the video for them is the most insane coincidence I've encountered in my entire life.
I love jens voice its so soothing and djentle
This is no music. This is Philosophy.
True
This fractal art/ fractal universe ambience is unbelieveable...
Couldn't agree more. A beautiful representation of the core that makes the fabric of space and time. Perfectly paired for a song called Clockworks.
I know right. I paused the video at 7:14 (1 sec before ending) and felt like they were still moving.
This band is FUCKING INSANE.
4:12 I love this part.
props to the video artists too.. thats amazing
seriously this song might be the pinnacle of what Meshuggah has to offer. such an incredible song
Moo.
until their next album :)
TheMeatballMen I agree with you. It’s not properly appreciated because it’s new, but this is clearly one of the most singular and impressive offerings of the band
Only just heard it right now and as a fan since 2006 I agree. One of their best so far.
We said that when obzen came out too though..
Has anyone else noticed that the flashing lights coincide with each band members rhythm depending on who's "head" you're in?
Brandon Hagedorn You got me there old chum!
Jesus fuck, if this is true, you've officially blown my mind more than any other comment I've ever read on UA-cam....
OMG you’re right. It’s like looking at the Mona Lisa as she follows you around the room
Woa Stephen Hawking's succesor!!
@@ceballoshhc its normal, all the instruments follow the drummer. So they all make the same rythm
How can Meshuggah be consistently amazing for 30 years.
The trick is that they don't just try to repeat what worked. They consistently implement new ideas and continue to try to be even more brutal and complex than before
They are sweedens, not northamericans
I would just like to thank Meshuggah for their fantastic music. It´s such an individual band, they truly created their own style. And what a style this is!!!

THIS SONG GOT A GRAMMY NOD LMAOOOOOO I CAN'T BELIEVE IT
This may quite possibly be my favorite peice of music ever written...
How has one band still not peaked after 27 years??
There's no peak because they're always at the top of their game.
Polymeters is my favourite musical thingamajig. I love Meshuggah.
Testament of a phenomenal band is they can always surprise.
Meshuggah haven't even started yet
Meshuggah Bear it's polyrhythyms
I see a lot of comments complaining about this song being too complex/too much... what the fuck? This is amazing! If you're complaining about this not being "easy listening" then you've never been a real Meshuggah fan. Pretty sure "I" would be considered tougher listening than this song... and yet it's still amazing... just like this song.... which I get to see/hear live in Sacramento in 15 days... FUCK YES!
The new songs are gonna kill live, I can't wait!!
The new songs are gonna kill live, I can't wait!!
one of the best songs i´ve eve heard from them. Maybe its a little complex at the beggining, but after three reproductions, i got hooked.
no true scotsman fallacy
The No True Scotsman argument is not a fallacy if the set in question (the "scotsmen"; here, the set of all Meshuggah fans) is categorically defined by the thing being asserted about them (here, the enjoyment of music that is both rhythmically complex, and not "easy listening"). Which in this case, it is. To enjoy Meshuggah (and therefore be a Meshuggah fan), it is a necessary condition to enjoy music that is rhythmically complex, and difficult to listen to. Saying "no true Meshuggah fan would listen to AC/DC" is a valid example of the No True Scotsman fallacy, since it is possible to enjoy both Meshuggah and AC/DC. But saying "no true Meshuggah fan would complain about this being complex and difficult to listen to" is not, because ALL of Meshuggah's music is complex and difficult to listen to, and this is its defining characteristic and appeal.
The actual flaw in his logic was the use of the phrase "then you've never been a real Meshuggah fan", because it is possible for someone to have ONCE been a real Meshuggah fan at one time, and therefore enjoy this song; but to have now become a candy-ass queer, and not enjoy it.
One neat thing i noticed about this song from a more analytical standpoint.
If you cut the bass drumming down to 1/4 what it is here, and keep the symbol tempo,
(Tss Tss Tss Tss Tss Tss Tss Tss)
(Boom boom booboom boom boobooboom boom boom boom booboobooboom boom boom boobooboom boom booboom boom)
you now have a percussion/rythym style that is commonly used in alot of dance rave & and techno music. And maybe, in a more simplistic form, in some forms of tribal ceremonial music.
This song's skeletal structuring is literaly made to induce moshing and erratic action. And the double bass adds a neat layer of organized chaos to up the ante.
This, in my opinion, is why this song is superior to Bleed.
Bleed is just pure raw metal.
Clockworks is more sophisticated. More layered and intelligent in its design. But still very much metal.
In other words,
Bleed is chaos.
Clockworks is organized chaos.
I agree entirely with your analysis. Both great tracks but Clockworks has more layers
I have no idea what you're talking about.
But I agree.
you lost me after "neat"
@@crowevurt you lost me after y
The only difference between the drums for this song and techno music is that the drums are real.
I thought my neighbour was playing the new Meshuggah record. Turns out he was just drying his ski boots in the Maytag.
This is what I love about this album, and every album they put out:
Their music grows on me. All of these tracks at first listen just sound like "new Meshuggah". Which is ALWAYS bad ass. But it's like, the FULL IMPACT of the music is not known right away. I just know, "I'm gonna have to go back and get to know this album, this music more. " Soon, the riffs get catchier and catchier. Then, they won't get out of my head, and I go, "God damn it I NEED that riff, I NEED my 'Shuggah. " Then the full brilliance, I become immersed in, and the music becomes immortal to me, it transcends regular music. Like, this is not your standard album, your standard music. This is not just songs on an album by an artist. This is FUCKING MESHUGGAH, EVERYTHING THEY TOUCH just REEKS of ORIGINAL FLOW, CAN'T BE TOUCHED BY OTHERS. Amazing, transcendental music. I'm really fucking falling in love with this album. "By the Ton" is another one of those tracks. At first, sounds like "ok just some new Meshuggah- sounding" grooves. Then that shit grows on you, and you go, "Holy fuck they flow is STILL IMPECCABLE. FUCK GIMME THIS MUSIC"
Fucking meshuggah man. They make the world a better place as far as I'm concerned.
right on dude!
btw, the closing riff on "By the ton" is just something really special to me. everything I want from Shuggah.
Guy Buddy that closing riff is getting rave on Juma's guitar cover, too. a huge polyrhythm that cycles like 1 1/2 times or some shit...I love it
That's exact it man! By The Ton is the best example, sounded pretty janky at first but once you learn how it goes it's flowy as fuck and I have it stuck in my head all the time.
Catch 33 takes a lot of listens to fully get.
yeh man just checked that riff out and im totally with you - it reminds me of another favourate riff - the last riff in dancers to a discordant system. when i saw them years ago the finished the set to that riff - i swear they played it longer than the recorded version, but anyways, it was an amazing finish, everyone sweaty, headbanging in synchronicity. oh fuck i wanna see them again :(
Fuck yeah! There we go

If he ever did that, I would probably die for laughing too much
Most bands lose their appeal the more you listen to them.
Good bands never lose their appeal
But extremely rarely, there is a band that is so unbelievable that they actually sound better with each listen. That is Meshuggah.
Yeah each song has so many layers oh Gosh! It’s mind-boggling
I'm a longtime Meshuggah fan and it took me five years to come around to this album. This song is its crowning achievement. It's about damn time.
I love the lyrical style that Meshuggah has. There's no repetitive chorus, each line is unique and amazing (insert Shed joke here). As a writer, this is definitely my favorite band.
And most prolific, influential and innovating metal bands in history.
It's kind of refreshing to hear drums sounding as natural as that kind of music allows to. I've become so tired of all these over produced, over processed and trigged to death drumkits lately. Meshuggah really brought back some life to that whole "clinical scene" with this album. Recording everything live in the studio with good ole amps and cabs just adds a sense of realness to the music and will certainly help the album stand the test of time.
Couldn't agree more. This is also the reason I prefer the original Nothing album over the remastered version.
Except they totally didn't do everything live. They also likely used AxeFX instead of cabs and mics.
Sounds real because the entire album was recorded live, all instruments and vocal at the same time. Yes it was most likely post produced but all of the raw material was live
Oh yes. Those drums sound insane. John Petrucci and Mike Mangini should give these guys a call.
@jonny j He was probably under the impression they did it like several of the previous albums, in which it was indeed AxeFX and sequenced drums. Which, to some fans, was a disturbing thing to hear. Especially that the drums were, essentially, fake (sort of). But, thankfully they didn't do that on The Violent Sleep of Reason.
I am STILL upset that this polyrhythmic masterpiece lost to Mastodon at the Emmys. What a joke.
Hey, Mastodon is a good band. We saw far more worse things. :)
Award ceremonies are for the self absorbed.
@@dingrey they are for the benefit of actors and musicians careers. If you’ve won a Grammy or Oscar or whatever you can use that to leverage better pay, gigs, projects, and better treatment by executives. If they don’t listen to you, you can just go somewhere else because you’ve been recognized as good.
I have been listening to Clockworks every day since it was released, I find it better and better. It's my favorite song, and always will be. It's pure perfection.
"What the FUCK am I even looking at?? ...Ohhhhh!"
Big bag. In slow motion
Hearing those 4 fast drum cymbals the first second was the equivalent of seeing a truck in front of your face, heading at you at 200 m/h.
200 meters in one hour isn't really that fast, lol ;)
Europe doesn't FUCKING exist you piece of shit
Until I read your comment I figured what that sound was. Spent like 15 minutes trying to snap out of that part.
That hi hat foot always going 😊
Miles per hour is definitely what he meant, not meters. 200 mph is pretty fucking fast.
It's crazy how good this song feels
For the last thirty years, music has been a two-tier system. At the very top of the mountain, there's Meshuggah. Somewhere, far below them, there's everybody else.
Masterpiece, the whole album. Not one miss.
On top of that, he absolutely nails it every single show, most growl/scream vocalist don't have near the stamina Jens does. I saw them twice and didn't hear a single mistake from any of them, highly recommended show for opening up the third eye, it was a borderline psychedelic experience. And Meshuggah crowds are very friendly and brotherly
My heart goes out to this guy...its really amazing the lyrics. The deconstruction of malignant narcissistic machine like qualities...oh Lord do i know what he's talking about. A survival mode and structure built into the ego that is often negative, based in fear, and constructed for survival...
..BREAK...BREAK...BREAK, THIS DECEITFUL MACHINE!🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Planet Meshuggah. Looks like the 3D fractals must have taken an entire century to render.
These videos have come a long way since Jens sang into a pen. Just as brilliant though.
Dude, that pen had the ride of it's life. Red pen in New Millennium Cyanide Christ must've been scared to death and became black.
I laughed hard xD
Like Zappa said: This is "the easy teenage New York version" before launching into the Black Page no.2 followed by "did anybody dance?". This is metal madness perfectly executed.
"How many polygons do you want in the video?"
"Yes"
The production and musicianship of this album is unreal! They continue to crush the clones into dust!
Can't believe this was done in a live room all together...Some of the most impressive musicianship out there.
4:13.... Seriously, I could cry
the neighbors love this song so much they threw a brick through my window to hear it better
My neighbors loved the song so much that they even invited the police to my house to listen to the song.
Good luck getting this on MTV!
No words to explain this...Thomas Haake is god
This is the heaviest song I've ever heard in my life
Lee J check out the demons name is surveillance by Meshuggah
@@joeydillon2 That felt heavy but meaningless, Tomas just hits like crazy. This one also have a melody, i don't know.There is tons of grind bands thinks they are heaviest shit on earth. Without a proper composition/melody, everyone could be the heaviest without a problem i think
Listen to War by meshuggah
This isn't even the heaviest Meshuggah song
Try Dancers to a Discordant System
This song seriously feels like the pinnacle of metal music.
Where can I get this gpu benchmark?
Михаил underrated comment
why it's only 27 likes?
I would buy it.
mandelbulber is the name of the program. its a free 3d fractal rendering program.
gave you the 100th you deserve
Sounds like a bombastic, heavied-up, dissonant version of King Crimson in a post-apocalyptic world. Meshuggah = crazy in Yiddish. "Nomen omen", said the Latins. How true!
by far the dopest meshuggah mv
This song can easily take over your body and mind .In the beginning it's a complex sound that you don't realise nothing.The rhythm the feel the sound is chaotic but as you start to realise the grooves everything changes it's not anymore just chaos loud and heavy it's a great song the more you understand it the most you like it.Like I said in the beginning you lose yourself inside the groove and this groove like every meshuggah song is unique I an all the ways you can imagine.The first time I heard meshuggah I was like what the fuck is that thing that's not even music I was just a fool.ONE OF THE BEST BANDS EVER
