Meshuggah – In Death - Is Life/Is Death lyrics

Album: Catch 33

So imminently visible - this cloaked innocent guilt
Sentenced to a lifetime, a second of structured chaos.
Trampled by the ferocious, raging crowds of solitude
I'm the soil beneath me soaking up the sustenance of my own death

Extradited to the gods of chance, the deities of all things random
Alive, multicolored, twitching in their dead, monochrome world.
//----------------------------------------------------------------------//
Iridescent to the searching eyes, I'm all things vivid in a
world of grey.
So easily spotted, so easily claimed in this domain where
all is prey.

My thoughts a radiant beacon to the omnidirectional
hunter-god radar.

I'm a markerlight of flesh to these subconscious carnivores.
I am them. I am teeth. I'm their arousal at the kill.
Feasting on self. A schizoreality warp. The contradiction
fulfilled.

Focus; the only means to see me back to life's unending swirl.

A reversal of passing away, as the world of dead, as away is
now my origin.
