ok 1st of all this band is heavy, brutal, mathematical genious...
i suggest DLing lots of songs by them (if u want sum suggestions just let me know)...
anyway, i wanted to post these lyrics to this one song called RATIONAL GAZE...amazing song....any thoughts on it??
personally, i see TONS of references to infinity (as lots of meshuggah songs tend to lead toward)....the "twin headed serpent"
RATIONAL GAZE
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
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
To see the fine grain, to read the hidden words The context of parallel truth - Devoid of fragmentation Eyes re-opened, susceptible 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 & insanity merge the clarity, the unity
Reality untouchable, transparent, invisible to our fixed, restricted fields of vision Existence taken for granted, absolute Uncomprehended by our content minds
Possessed, owned, run, controlled by the common sense-infected rational gaze Onward forever we walk among the ignorant Never stray from the common lines

Meshuggah is probably the most artistically advanced metal band. Their lyrics are the best in metal (and by Thomas Haake, a Swedish native! amazing!) and their music is very innovative.
Funny you should post about this today--I'm writing a science fiction novel which deals with implantation and augmentation of the human body, and I was just thinking today about how "New Millennium Cyanide Christ" partly inspired my attitude toward that.

search for a band named Spiral Architect and read their lyrics, see if you like. Yeah they are scandinavian too.
Knotted tongues tied up by missing, mocking syllables Lacklustre soliloquies performed in solipsism's shrines of shallow sentiments Look at my words, nothing besides remains All the wisdom, all our colossal thoughts Boundless but blind the grand idea astray No universal thought-patterns will apply Intentions abused and lost along the way
