Meshuggah - Straws pulled at random

Straws Pulled At Random
Meshuggah


What solace lies in the arms of fate
The ill embrace of uncertainty
When did I leave this in other hands
To be pulled down at chance

Ripped away by destiny-claws
Am I another of fate's possessions
Dwelling the lie of freedom
Just another straw pulled at random

Reclaimed by deceiving time
A silent judgment I can not overrule

Drawn back into the origin-vortex
Uprooted and ground to dust
Retracted into anti-existence
A magnet repelled by life's polarity

Denied the self control of fate
we flow suspended in semi-life
Until the ever imminent day
when oblivion claims our breath

Nowhere indefinitely. Not dead, not alive
Existence-patterns ripped of symmetry
As will and fate divide

Have I appeased the gods of fate
Am I allowed another day
Must I die to escape
the scanning eyes of death

@Brooklynmario A bunch of bands that ripped off Meshuggah. No one can do it as good though

@gothikgamer I liked them before they sold out and got another douchebag vocalist xD

[gothikgamer]

@oaklandrmoss18 i love them xD

[oaklandrmoss18]

@gothikgamer Yeah they are absolutely horrible to be honest xD

[gothikgamer]

@oaklandrmoss18 vildhjarta suck? ok xD

[divinegrinder]

@Theguywhoplaysguitar But if that something new pales in comparison... what's the point?

[oaklandrmoss18]

@Theguywhoplaysguitar It doesnt matter anyways cuz they fucking suck

[Theguywhoplaysguitar]

@oaklandrmoss18 I simply wouldn't call it a rip-off. They got inspired by Meshuggah, and used their style to create something new.

[oaklandrmoss18]

@Theguywhoplaysguitar Exactly, cuz its not meshuggah. But u cannot try and tell me they didnt rip them off

[Theguywhoplaysguitar]

@oaklandrmoss18 I get what you mean even more, but still: if you showed me this song, I would NEVER have said that that's meshuggah

[oaklandrmoss18]

@Theguywhoplaysguitar You probably listened to their new album (which sucks ass) Their Ep Omnilash was way less "metalcorish" and more meshuggah influenced. Listen to the song traces. Sounds like it came straight from Nothing or Chaosphere....
