Machine Head - The Burning Red (Lyrics)

[MrBalarinas]

i am a guy that has been through a very long metal period in his life...back in my early teenage years i listened to this song and i felt it was talking str8 to my heart...Now i am not listening to metal anymore. I have discovered new music types that i love (jazz for example)...NEVERTHELESS i will never forget what i used to be and i will never dispute the value of these songs...today every once in a while i give my self a tour in the old days...this song still speaks to me...

[Scottzgar]

Burn my eyes and The Blackening...those albums are what put Machine Head on the map

[ggcrazy02]

Ive been going through some hard times, yeah of course lamb of god helped, and so did metallica, but machine head is and always will be there for me, this song is amazing, music at its finest

[SuskenHizamura]

Dear god plz atleast try to give us more of this amazing Artists and more of this kind of music because the last ones you send (Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Pit Bull, LMFAO, Rihana, Katy Perym, etc...) are SHIT. Amen.

[massgilms]

machine should use these grunge vocals more often it's fucking sick

[Euryalaceae]

check out "Scars of Life"

[massgilms]

love this grunge sounding voice so fucking powerful

[nenofalletta]

this is a depressing song

[djdast08]

@nenofalletta It's about suicidice, so what do you want, man ...

[Terminalxshow]

This song is the key to the floodgates of my suffering & pain truly.

[DethCrusade]

Debating doing a piano cover of this for my school's talent show... how badass would what be?

[ACW1590]

@DethCrusade Do it and post it on here man!

[DethCrusade]

@ACW1590 I'm thinking haha a little bit more practice on a piano and I'll see.

[keythright]

this song gives me chills

[Sinister1811]

Fucking beautiful song.

[vortexvonvortex]

this is song is so good i don't want to like it i want to fuck it till it screams my name even during its dreams

[MrRockitman666]

6 dislikes! o.o people y u so stupid!!!

[PEDROFALCAO74a]

ANYBODY KNOW WHAT'S BEING PERMANENTLY WITH SOMEONE...EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT IS LOVE SO MUCH, THAT THE WORLD NO LONGER MATTER...EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT'S FELLING THE PAIN OF A RAIZOR INSIDE...EVERYBODY KNOWS!?

[laffyta2]

@PEDROFALCAO74a I have that feeling right now..

[Passeverywhereprod]

the 6 dislikes don't know what's love ..

[qnzmetallord90]

Music changes lives when you can relate to it as if you were the one who wrote it! Thank you machine head

[Lambthrax]

FUCK THE 6 DISLIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[GoatvomitAhoy]

@Lambthrax

YES!!! No one should have any other opinion other then the ones I currently have...

[jeffsifrit]

my favorite machine head song. i've pray'd several times while this song play'd in the background.

[483972]

ok this one fucks my brains out right noW

[PauloJorgeMonteiro]

One of the best metal balads of all time. Simple and straight at your heart. Period.

[Riokolove]

@PauloJorgeMonteiro I agree Paul :( great song and it always beings a tear to my eyes....just broke down to this song myself :'(

[JanDaley]

unfassbar gut! 

[doublebasskoenig]

@JanDaley

Word!

[Madhouse2332]

i had a rough summer with everything just falling apart . then i discoverd this song and it saved me. Thank you Machine Head!

[SuperMrLahlou]

good 'poem'!

[tycddt]

i. cry. and i cry.

[AestheticStallion]

The good thing about Machine Head is they can do a song like this..then turn around and do the songs on the Blackening and they all sound good. Machine Head can make anything sound good...genre doesn't matter.

[31halloweens]

i heard this song over and over agin because my husband was in the hospital bleeding and the docters coudl't find out why and i thought that i was going to loose him. but he made it and we have been together thids halloe=ween 9 years....

[CaptainMarvelQ8]

This song makes me want to cry, it makes me want to end this miserable life, but then it comforts me

[TheStrongBoyz19]

Great song for tributes and dedications.

[synchroflip123]

i loved the song....im going to dedicate it to my girl my only girl....marcela.

[reightdragon]

minha vida.......

[retephgiel]

I hope this flat likes Machine Head, if not SUCKS TO BE THEM!!!!

[Futinger]

search for "rainy mood" and listen for both at the same time

[Socalfreedomfighter]

MY FAVORITE SONG!!! this album got me through alot

[SuperTriviumFan]

Something this good shouldn't even be called a song.

[humanerGenozid]

@SuperTriviumFan it's art.

[gabrielrockist]

GOOOD

[ThatBigMetalhead]

so beautiful

[pmoneygf]

this has to be the best song ever about suicide.

robs voice seems so tired and sad, it just catches the mood perfectly.

and when the beat slows down at the end you can literally feel his heart stop beating. EPIC

[rockerdude142467]

good song

[DethCrusade]

Look up the Hellalive version. It's way better in my opinion.

[HeyTray1]

@DethCrusade I 2nd that, in fact I think I'll click on it right now...

[Lunaluss]

This song is my therapy.

[StArMoutSiGun]

i just learned that one of my old friend died!!!this song is for me too him!!!!cya my friend :)

[LittleMissSpunky]

this song takes me to a place i deny myself to be. . . but reminds me that everything always gets better

[brainfullametal]

@LittleMissSpunky Well said. I'm the same.

[draconianrush]

Pretty sure there's no such thing as a bad Machine Head song. AAAWWWW YEEEAAAHHH

[SuperTriviumFan]

This song is proof that metal is an outlet for people who need something meaningful in their lives. Thank you MH \m/

[blahhahe]

anyone know any other soft songs like this, by any artist?

[SuperTriviumFan]

@blahhahe Darkest Hour has a lot of soft songs somewhat like this, but they are usually not that long

[Purplepig20]

@blahhahe

Try the 36 Crazyfists song The Tide And It's Takers

or Slipknot - Snuff or Vermillion Pt II

[cerafinas]

This is the best song ever! I am speechless... AWESOME!!

[UnforgivenSiren]

Machine Head has some of the best slow songs I've ever heard. Full of raw emotion and truly dark feelings that everyone has at some point! They're Awesome.

[MikaelBetancourt]

feels good to listen to this after 3 years of not hearing it.

[snuggp]

story of my life

[azzmiller666]

666 likes? i'm not sure weather to like it or not? fuck it i can't not! 667 likes!

[bigabs18281]

@azzmiller666 woah thats trippy dude, when i looked at it there was 999... i am down under i suppose maybe thats it...

[Beerz76]

Is it just me that likes to listen to this song with my eyes closed? It takes me to places and times...

[azzmiller666]

@Beerz76 ever considered the fact that the people who agree with you will not read your comment cause their eyes are closed? ner only kidding man i agree this song is so beautiful and you can just lose yourself in it!

[MrDanizzle1]

I really like machine heads slower music, its beautiful

[mattbad2008]

i think that each machine head song just gets better and better no matter which way it sounds, its still machine head cuz of their unique sound that they bring into their songs, whether it be in this style or the heavy riffs, but this song is just fucking brilliant! THUMBS UP!!

[1975marcotjuh]

machine head rocks they got a lot of good songs how about a farewell to arms and this song is just perfect

[hatehead1]

This song reminds me NIN. ♥

[Paiinkillerr]

I've never been much of a Machine Head fan, but this song.. it's fuckin beautiful.

[kaschap28]

it might have change there life who r you to judge

[goatshredder]

I was depressed as fuck at the time this was released and this will always be the theme tune to suicidal fugue for me. However, I'm glad Machinehead defagged themselves, as did I.

[Drakodan]

@goatshredder I don't know why but that made me lol like fuck. Cheers for that.

[MegaBatan]

Everyone that commentd on this song fucking rocks.....thank you :)

[MrSpartanerli]

This Song... i love it!

[mehrzadhei]

This song is like sex to my ears .

[5686anderson]

I love Machine Head.. Forever!!!!

[pmmx977]

while i'm listening this song i'm in another world. i fell like i'm leaving this reality and get in to another great world. and i'm thinking about things that i normally don't mind

[xXGroviabyXx]

I'm now in love with this song. Beautiful!

[LADYHALO058]

Metal will never die.. Machine Head will never die... \m/

[gumitsirke]

@LADYHALO058 truer wordz were never spoken:) Amen!

[DannDaviess]

Had a bad day?

Go home and listen to this...

[AvilatGreen]

@DannDaviess or listen to a song that can actually cheer you up..

[saintanik89]

whoever dislikes these songs...just believe life is full of happy moments only

[DevilMayRise]

When they played this in newport it was so sad . <3

[HeavenlyKing7]

Who the fuck dislikes this? some people man...

[Agonoize111]

I hear this song i have to remember to my girlfriend because i love her but i dunno if she loves me? i need help and would like to give me the bullet in my head ... but i can't because she sometimes write something about me ... i can't think logical ...

[CFHG00]

@Agonoize111 ...grow and man the fuck up...who the fucks gonna love you anyway when ur a fuckin moany little turd like that? lol! Seriously...go lift some weights or go running...if you have problems, why the fuck don't you go see someone instead of comin on here and spouting your shit to the whole world? if you can do that, you can ask for help...instead u come on here with your bullshit.

[Agonoize111]

@CFHG00 sry i have written that "bullshit" and if you mean, i haven't hobbys or otherthings, well why you answer? ignor my comment and if you don't like, why people write her heelings about love or despair, then go to the hell and go die damn man ...

[CFHG00]

@Agonoize111 ...2 thumbs up for my comment, none down. think that means 2-nil to me turdboy. BYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[Agonoize111]

@CFHG00 ... well all feelings i get are shit ... i am despairing and i hear this song every day because the girl and now? my sister died ... thanks for all this bullshit ... i am feeling more and more despair and my mind are broken ... and if you think, i am a stupid man, well you don't know, how that feel, when someone in your life die and you got him/her in your arms ...

[CFHG00]

@Agonoize111 ...u still fuckin whining?

[Agonoize111]

@CFHG00 you still fucking stupid!

[77MetalMessiah77]

Machine Head is amazing! But Bullet? They are fuckin great. Yes, their past album only had like 2 decent songs. But scream aim fire and the poison? Whatever I don't care what you say but I like them and I'm 17

[Michaelknowshisshit]

i'vE SeeN tHe lIGHT OF sUIcIDe....AND IM DYING

[skinup1231]

how can anyone compare MH to Bullet for my valentine? Bullet fuckin suck! I don't think i know anyone above the age of 15 that listens to them...

[eriipoko]

@skinup1231

damn right!

[JestersFlame]

@skinup1231 hey now you do, i'm 25 buddy, sure the last album wasn't too great but the hand of blood ep,and the poison was killer

[Edmasterz]

@skinup1231 It should be illegal to compare bands. Doing that only shows how low your IQ is. Music is NOT A COMPETITION. Mainstream bands and artists made music seem like a competition. They should get banned from "making" music FOREVER.

[skinup1231]

@Edmasterz ahhh shutup u daft cunt. nobody cares.

[SUPERCHARGER2001]

@skinup1231 ehehhehehehe funny comment to that idiot talking about his life story on the burning red video

[JoRdOguitarman1]

@Edmasterz dude stfu and gtfo this video

[Bman1393]

Dear Machine Head,

I fucking miss you guys. There was a time when I could spend all day listening to your music without changing artists. Everything about your music was perfect for me. But christ, I've lost that drive. I've lost the will to get up every morning and break the walls. I just can't do it anymore. Now there's no Take My Scars. There's no The Blood, the Sweat, the Tears. No Bite the Bullet or even Imperium. Now there's just the Burning Red. Here's to hoping Ican find my feet again.

[skinup1231]

@Bman1393 good luck man. all the best.



[igloo50]

@Bman1393 Have you even heard the blackening?

[GohanMH1]

@Bman1393

Dont know if that is related but the new stuff is not that great. It's good in its own way that it sells and draws fans....but the essence that mattered to me somehow dissipates. No longer ungodly reality urban brutality, it's now a show.

Long live

[zeroplus360]

@GohanMH1 A lot of bands go that way. Probs to do with the money...

[CrazyDavesBacon]

@GohanMH1 Lol you say the new stuff ain't good? Let's see you even come close to playing on a level like that then you still can't say the essence isn't there

[famzao]

no matter what others may say about or "title" songs or bands... if you find a connection (especially if it's heavy music) stick with it

[europaoki4]

other songs like this...........??

[MrSethy80]

moGeb i like what you had to say...This band and those like these guys must never stop, give up. I have my own demons just like everyone in this world...This band saved a part of me so im not completely empty. ROCK for ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

[AskJoe1]

IT LOOKS LIKE A VAGINA

[mannskeet]

also know the feeling. great times!!!

[KILLA1BUNNY]

New favourite song :O

Its... beautiful...

[koukounaraki]

This was our song...me and friends...a guitar on a beach...this song means a lot to me...maybe my friends betrayed me...gone from my life but this song reminds me the fucking good memories i had with them...just a song make me remember so many things...make me cry...

[Krenator]

@koukounaraki I know the feeling. Keep your chin up and enjoy the past!

[reddevilsbhu]

plz name some other MH songs lik dis one

[Kiichiism]

@reddevilsbhu

Deafening Silence.

[xGenocidalWings]

You think The Burning Red sucked? Fuck you, and your bitch! -- Supercharger

[fearghak]

@xGenocidalWings  TEN FOLD!!!!!

[SoCoandCoke]

No, I think this is better than Descend the Shades of Night.... still a great song though.

[Metallica09DE]

@SoCoandCoke I'm not sure I would say better... More emotional? I think so. I personally think they're about equal. But, since they're sorta different styles, I don't think you can really tell.

[CLFolley]

This is a good song I like this band and hope I can find some more of there stuff, so if any out there has any listen to my playlist and get an idea of what I listen to. thank you CLFolley

[TheBullgang]

Great sex song

[BFMVandNIRVANA]

me and my girl friend going through so much shit right now because of her ma. keep thinking her ma is going fuck us up big time but then i come ad listen to a song like tis. i just cams me down so much and makes me forget all my problems

[tec345ify]

GREATEST BAND EVER ......

MACHINE FUCKING HEAD \m/

[NakeJew22]

this song.... saved me. 5 minutes ago i was lost. ive been saved. thank you machine head

[HeavenlyKing7]

Amazing that some people would bag on a metal band for play what they consider "light" music. the way you sing a song is the way you deliver is message. for all the band that continue to make this kind of music and tell people to screw off i salute you.

[InsaneGamer921]

What other ballady type songs have Machine Head done? This is easily the best song on the album

[UkrRusSlavic]

@InsaneGamer921 Descend the Shades of night. And A Farewell to Arms

[Metallica09DE]

@InsaneGamer921 Check Out Descend The Shades Of Night.

[Lovemetallica93]

@ZDKSRF The album by BFMV is called "The Poison".

[madamchryzl01]

i understand how this song could.. chills run through my veins.. if my eyeballs could get goose bumbs they would!

[jeremy2k7]

this song saved my life as well

[DarkCloudAssasin]

all the tears i've build up through the years of agony and suffering have been finally been released, thanks to this song, i can go on with my life knowing my past was just my first steps to an amazing future

[AbaddonFH]

Great!

[makaveli88888]

nice song bt nt to keen on the drums ?

[dramaturgija]

a beautiful sad song...

[luigibb11]

@irishmurphy4 your a cock.

[TrephineArtist]

Stunning title track to a foolishly overlooked album, full of great songs. 

[luigibb11]

wank

[irishmurphy4]

\bullet fuckin owns this shit, \i cant believe you cock suckers like this, it makes no sense. At least bullet for my valentine is a lot harder than this and they make songs that make sense and actually matter,

[zbwr]

@irishmurphy4 sorry for negative, but your comment just sucked

[aceshigh23650]

@irishmurphy4 Hahaha that's funny man. They are not harder.. U gotta be fucking kidding me. Machine Head owns Bullet.

[KILLA1BUNNY]

@irishmurphy4 You are a fucking idiot poser. I am a Bullet fan but seriously? How the fuck do they own machine head? 1. Phil Demmel is a far better guitarist than padget. 2. Machine Heads lyrics aren't all mostly about women. 3. Machine Head are way more heavy than Bullet even though it doesn't mean shit. Musics is about getting your feelings across and connecting with the music not how 'hard' you play or how fast you can play the guitar.

[meridon12]

mine and my boyfriends song, as well as snuff by slipknot, beautiful song.

[hypnotize221]

the album cover looks like a penis

[Shketri]

@hypnotize221 no, you are just gay

[patisha1]

Hahahahhahaha !



[TheSpawnmega]

this is me and my girlfriends song...as well as house of flies -deftones

[MCJAWWZ]

this and silver r my faves from burning red album.

[churuscan]

This is my favorite Machine Head song. So different than their normal stuff, and there are very few songs like it.

[MrPsychopatic]

I prefer the live version,but good song!

[Geringverdiener]

........ great.........

[RhiannaMary64]

@ericfuge tru tht i have not heared a machine head song tht i didnt like and i never will machine head till the end

[Bman1393]

this song is amazing........

also is it just me or do the "hold on, I'm falling" lyrics seem to be very similar to those in the blood the sweat the tears?

[megadethfan891]

@bougimasri uhh the burning red?

[bougimasri]

whats the name of this song?

[chvzanthony]

@bougimasri its on the title of the video -_- the one you clicked on....The Burning Red.

[Supabasti81]

Awesome,one of the best Metal Ballads!! Thank you 4Upload! GREAT!!! "I've watched the darkness hypnotize And confided"

[MakadeNimikii]

such an awesome song man, i made my girlfriend cry when i sang this to her :P

[MsRofflecakes]

This song is my release. I listen to it so I don't have to feel or think these thoughts. I lay in bed with it on repeat and just take it in. No thinking, no worrying, no pain. It takes my breath away, and relieves hurt that nothing else seems to be able to heal.

[parkouraliberte]

@MsRofflecakes Hell yeah

[Vellustania]

I don't quite like singing, but I'd give my right arm to get Flynn's voice.
