Meshuggah - Glints Collide (w/ lyrics)

I'd been searching for the songs on this album on here for a while, and no one else had all of them, so I figured I'd put 'em up.

Here it is, Track Five of Meshuggah's 2006 re-record of their 4th album, Nothing: Glints Collide

Winds that shine a bright, blinding dark. Kerosene flames so cold they crack
Suns that blow becalmed twisters. Ferocity sleeping. Nothingness stacked
Intestines worn to shield the inward limbs. Screams unheard. Deafening thoughts
Levitating ground. The solid water burns. Liquid stone. The immobile turns

Corrosion soothing the hurt within. Surroundings reaching to touch your skin
Progress in stalemate. Death is alive. Eyes and mind glint - Glints collide

Pains sending shivers of well-being down your spine. Sounds of healing crack your bones
Lamentation carving into smiling faces. Surrounded by everyone, still you're all alone
Wormholes set as halos over sinners skulls. Leaves chasing the fallen air away
A lifetime of needle-eyes too wide to escape, where honesty lies and angels betray


Incisions mending the wounds within. Surroundings breach the surface of your skin
Progress in static. Life has died. Eyes and minds glint - Glints collide

Disorder putting everything back in place. Chaos the obtainer of lucidity
Tranquility created by raging turbulence. Your solid note frequency out of phase
The fractals of your soul - by symmetry abandoned. Confusion calms your overheating mind
You're the memory no one ever had. You're the one thing you will never find

Reincarnation trapped in a life span. Corpses bolted to the ground arise
Omnilights flooding your world with their darkness As your reflection turns its back to your eyes

You've entered your self-created antiparadise. Your universe processed and trapped in jars
Neverending insanity. Down in the hell of mind, where glints collide

Finally I know what Jens says in that verse, Thanks a lot!

BTW, you figured it out by yourself?

[ZenotheMetalWarrior]

@Orierez Oh, no no no no no. I copied it from the lyric book that came with the CD lol. I usually can't figure out what Jens is saying half the time.

@ZenotheMetalWarrior

Well, in the booklet of the original version of the Nothing (not the remastered one) this verse is missing for some reason and due to the fact the they sound the same to me I never bothered to buy the remastered version.

[ZenotheMetalWarrior]

@Orierez Well, this is definitely the re-recorded version. And in the booklet for this one, everything's there. I read somewhere that there was barely anything in the booklet for the original.

damn, I don't like the sound of this Nothing (remastered version)

[ZenotheMetalWarrior]

@darwinism14 it does lack the raw power of the original. Some songs are almost too clean. And the lack of reverb on Jens' vocals on the original made them much more in-your-face, but hey, whatcha gonna do? Some songs are better off, some aren't.

[raiderjester]

@ZenotheMetalWarrior - the original booklet is empty. just black pages. hence "nothing". badass concept, and this song embodies the idea perfectly.

I love their knack for writing contradicting alliterations into somewhat socially poetic prose. Their beats kick ass too, inaccessibly accessible..

[metalveyn]

Yeah, when I bought the original album I anxiously cracked open the booklet to find (gasp) nothing... Very funny..

[thedearpsychonaut]

idk why people talk about the original recording sounding more 'raw' and 'in your face'. if you ask me..this is pretty in your face lol. the clarity only re amplifies the atmosphere of the music to a more psychedelic sense..which i believe is what they are going after at least from the lyrical content.
