Quite profound, I thought.

No Sssweat - Enter Shikari

Where's your respect
Where's your respect
Why bite the hand that feeds you
It's not over yet not over yet
Plenty more fingers for you to nibble

I'd like to see you get your teeth round this
I'm sure your jaw will be surely missed

Not even salt can make your hands taste good
I'm still crunching your lifeline

You do this every f*****g time
No sweat no tears no guilt

Blood fills your palms

Rammstein- Spieluhr

Original German lyrics:

Ein kleiner Mensch stirbt nur zum Schein
wollte ganz alleine sein
das kleine Herz stand still für Stunden
so hat man es für tot befunden
es wird verscharrt in nassem Sand
mit einer Spieluhr in der Hand

Der erste Schnee das Grab bedeckt
hat ganz sanft das Kind geweckt
in einer kalten Winternacht
ist das kleine Herz erwacht

Als der Frost ins Kind geflogen
hat es die Spieluhr aufgezogen
eine Melodie im Wind
und aus der Erde singt das Kind

Hoppe hoppe Reiter
und kein Engel steigt herab
mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter
nur der Regen weint am Grab
hoppe hoppe Reiter
eine Melodie im Wind
mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter
und aus der Erde singt das Kind

Der kalte Mond in voller Pracht
h ört die Schreie in der Nacht
und kein Engel steigt herab
nur der Regen weint am Grab

Zwischen harten Eichendielen
wird es mit der Spieluhr spielen
eine Melodie im Wind
und aus der Erde singt das Kind

Hoppe hoppe Reiter
und kein Engel steigt herab
mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter
nur der Regen weint am Grab
hoppe hoppe Reiter
eine Melodie im Wind
mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter
und aus der Erde singt das Kind

Hoppe hoppe Reiter
mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter

Am Totensonntag hörten sie
aus Gottes Acker diese Melodie
da haben sie es ausgebettet
das kleine Herz im Kind gerettet

Hoppe hoppe Reiter
eine Melodie im Wind
mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter
und auf der Erde singt das Kind
hoppe hoppe Reiter
und kein Engel steigt herab
mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter
nur der Regen weint am Grab

English Translation:

A small human only pretends to die
it wanted to be completely alone
the small heart stood still for hours
so they decided it was dead
it is being buried in wet sand *
with a music box in its hand

The first snow covers the grave
it woke the child very softly
in a cold winter night
the small heart is awakened

As the frost flew into the child
it wound up the music box
a melody in the wind
and the child sings from the ground

Up and down, rider **
and no angel climbs down
my heart does not beat anymore
only the rain cries on the grave
up and down, rider
a melody in the wind
my heart does not beat anymore
and the child sings from the ground

The cold moon, in full magnificence
it hears the cries in the night
and no angel climbs down
only the rain cries on the grave

Between hard oak boards
it will play with the music box
a melody in the wind
and the child sings from the ground

Up and down, rider
and no angel climbs down
my heart does not beat anymore
only the rain cries on the grave
up and down, rider
a melody in the wind
my heart does not beat anymore
and the child sings from the ground

Up and down, rider
my heart does not beat anymore

On Totensonntag they heard ***
this melody from god's field ****
then they unearthed it
they saved the small heart in the child

Up and down, rider
a melody in the wind
my heart does not beat anymore
and the child sings on the ground
up and down, rider
and no angel climbs down
my heart does not beat anymore
only the rain cries on the grave

Bullet points:

* The verb "verscharren" means to bury, specifically without ceremony.
** "Hoppe hoppe Reiter" is a line from a German children's song. "Hoppe hoppe" is slang for up and down, as in the movement when you are riding a horse.
*** "Totensonntag" translates to "Sunday of the dead". This is a holiday celebrated on the last Sunday before Advent in November. It is the day when protestant Christians remember their dead.
**** "Gottesacker" means "God's field" but refers to a graveyard.

Here's one of my favorites from the UK show Spitting Image


Suede (britpop band) satire (1993)


You may have seen the poster
for the album we're flogging
it's the tasteful, artistic one
Of the two birds snogging
And now you turn on your TV.
At your children's suggestion
You listen to our music
And you ask yourself the question

Are you getting old
Or are we shite?
Have you got it wrong
And our fans got it right?
Are you a middle aged git
Who's gone all uptight?
Are you getting old
or are we shite?

You used to be a rebel
Even bought a pair of loons
But now you long for the days
When the songs had tunes
You don't like loud music now
You've lost all your passion
And even more worrying
The loons are back in fashion

Are you getting old
or are we shite?
Would you rather get down
Or get a nice early night?
Does the strobe on your video
Strain your eyesight?
Are you getting old?
Are you getting old?
Are you getting old?

No, your shite!! !! !

Are you getting old
or are we shite?
Are you getting old
or are we shite?
(repete)

Ihsahn - Astera Ton Proinon

Were you not humble
not submissive?
Would you not bend your knee?
Did you question
or object to the word of the many?
Had you a vision of your own?

Saint of the damned
Icon of the rejected
primeval insurgent
Ascend O' Morning star
Ascend

"How art thou fallen from heaven,
O' day-star, son of the morning
How art thou cut down to the ground, that didst cast lots over the nations
For thou has said in thine hear, I will ascend into heaven
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God
I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High"

Man has been reared by the four errors
and never saw himself other than imperfectly
Such is then the pleasure of the common herd
to quench their envious thirst in misery

Anyone here know swedish? Help me tranlate these lyrics:

På panelen ser jag lamporna som lyser.
Processens steg står under min kontroll.
Jag håller ögonen på datorns analyser.
Här har ovissheten spelat ut sin roll.

Kontrollen blinkar blå,
en signal för det säkra.
Kontrollen blinkar blå,
då är allt som det ska.
Om skärmen är normal
finns inga skäl att tveka.
När kontrollen blinkar blå,
då är allt som det ska.

Men i nattens tysta timmar har jag undrat
vad som händer där tekniken inte ser,
vad som döljer sig i tujaträdens skugga.
Och jag känner oron växa mer och mer.

Men kontrollen blinkar blå ...

Men det finns frågor datorn inte kan besvara,
signaler som jag inte kan förstå.
Det finns så mycket som vi inte kan förklara.
Det finns krafter som vi aldrig kan rå på.

Men kontrollen blinkar blå ...

And here is the english translation. To me this song seems to be about Technology and how it can slip beyond our control. Somehow I suspect though-given that it was written and recorded in 1981 it has something to do with the Automation of nuclear weapon systems.

On the panel I see the lamps illuminating.
The step of the process is under my controll.
I keep my eyes on the computers analyzis.
Here has the ignorance played it's role/part.

The controll/remote blinks blue,
A signal for the safe/secure.
The controll/remote blinks blue,
Then everything is the way it's supposed to be.
If the screen is normal
There's nothing to tweak.
When the controll/remote blinks blue,
Then everything is the way it's supposed to be.

But in the nights silent hours I've wondered
what happens where the technology doesn't see,
Whats hiding in tujaträdens (not really sure about this word) shadow.
And I feel the anxiety increase/grow more and more.

But the controll/remote blinks blue...

But there's no questions the computer can't awnser,
signals that I don't understand.
There's so much we can't explain.
There's powers we can't controll.

But the controll/remote blinks blue...

One Shining Moment

The ball is tipped
and there you are
you're running for your life
you're a shooting star
And all the years
no one knows
just how hard you worked
but now it shows...
(in) ONE SHINING MOMENT, IT'S ALL ON THE LINE
ONE SHINING MOMENT, THERE FROZEN IN TIME

But time is short
and the road is long
in the blinking of an eye
ah that moment's gone
And when it's done
win or lose
you always did your best
cuz inside you knew...
(that) ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU REACHED DEEP INSIDE
ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU KNEW YOU WERE ALIVE

Feel the beat of your heart
feel the wind in your face
it's more than a contest
it's more than a race...

And when it's done
win or lose
you always did your best
cuz inside you knew...
(that) ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU REACHED FOR THE SKY
ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU KNEW
ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU WERE WILLING TO TRY
ONE SHINING MOMENT....

English Lyrics
Blindly afraid, I hug my knees
This has to be wrong - I should be smiling here

If I just let if flow by, even in this quiet town
If I suppress my desire, I'll be cast aside as just a boy

Alone, thirsty for the feelings that shoot through me
I don't want to spill them

On this tough night, you're starting this game in earnest
But what game is it?

It's preeminent even now - my racing emotions aren't just for show
As much as it takes until it's pronounced final - my way of life and my way of crossing over

I want to see this until the end, adapting to all of this with you
The racing heat and healing - it's all I want and all I'll ever want

If this "unstoppable" thing is allowed to keep going,
no one can avoid blame for it

I can't suppress my urges and I can't endure my injuries
If this is a lesson, I guess I'll learn

So cold I can almost taste it
Raiding the most fragile of places

It's like I've drowned without even realizing it
In a dream I can feel even in the innermost part of me

I can't reach anyone, my racing emotions are un-shrouded
In loving someone, with speed and with freedom, all distance was closed in

The world holds us back, because you and I have a reason to be here
There's still a very faint trace of light somewhere, and I'll go anywhere to hunt it down

Show me how this ends, my racing emotions aren't just for show
As much as it takes until it's pronounced final - my way of life and my way of crossing over

I'll let this be the beginning, adapting to all of this with you
The racing heat and healing - it's all I want and all I'll ever want

"Amaranth" - Nightwish

Baptized with a perfect name
The doubting one by heart
Alone without himself
War between him and the day
Need someone to blame
In the end little he can do alone

You believe but what you see
You receive but what you give

Caress the one, the Never-Fading
Rain in your heart, the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak

Apart from the wandering pack
In this brief flight of time
We reach for the ones who ever dare

You believe but what you see
You receive but what you give

Caress the one, the Never-Fading
Rain in your heart, the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak
(x2)

Reaching, searching for something untouched
Hearing voices of the Never-Fading calling

Caress the one, the Never-Fading
Rain in your heart, the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak
(x2)

Bad Religion- Cease

blacktop pavement cover me
like a chemical reaction or a steam roller
spreading randomly

there's a distant buzz and a low frequency
it tickles my ear, it rumbles under my feet
and it shakes the leaves off of every tree (violently)
what pretension! Everlasting peace
everything must cease

institution on the Hill
like a beacon in the mind of an ancestor
to ignite a people's will

there's a shadowed stain on the west facade
it has spread like decay to enshroud the fraud
and the descendants find it oh so odd
(oh so odd)
what pretension! Everlasting peace
everything must cease

grave memorial hewn white stone
like the comforting caress of a mother
or a friend you've always known

it evokes such pain and significance
what was once is reduced to remembrance
and the generations pass without recompense
what pretension! Everlasting peace
everything must cease

Master of Puppets - Metallica

End of passion play, crumbling away
Im your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
Leading on your deaths construction

Taste me you will see
More is all you need
you're dedicated to
How Im killing you

Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master

Master of puppets Im pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you cant see a thing
Just call my name, `cause Ill hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, `cause Ill hear you scream
Master
Master

Needlework the way, never you betray
Life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
Chop your breakfast on a mirror

Master, master, wheres the dreams that Ive been after?
Master, master, you promised only lies
Laughter, laughter, all I hear and see is laughter
Laughter, laughter, laughing at my cries

Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
Just a rhyme without a reason
Neverending maze, drift on numbered days
Now your life is out of season

Rush - Vital Signs

Unstable condition
A symptom of life
In mental and environmental change
Atmospheric disturbance
The feverish flux
Of human interface and interchange

The impulse is pure
Sometimes our circuits get shorted
By external interference
Signals get crossed
And the balance distorted
By internal incoherence

A tired mind become a shape-shifter
Everybody need a mood lifter
Everybody need reverse polarity
Everybody got mixed feelings
About the function and the form
Everybody got to deviate from the norm

An ounce of perception
A pound of obscure
Process information at half speed
Pause, rewind, replay
Warm memory chip
Random sample, hold the one you need

Leave out the fiction
The fact is, this friction
Will only be worn by persistence
Leave out conditions
Courageous convictions
Will drag the dream into existence

A tired mind become a shape-shifter
Everybody need a soft filter
Everybody need reverse polarity
Everybody got mixed feelings
About the function and the form
Everybody got to elevate from the norm

Faithless - Reverence


Watch me ride...

Take the words and the bass,
Taste, and then swallow me,
You're chasing the devil
Cos you're level if you follow me
For quality, and I make no apology
For linking my thinking with computer technology.
Cos this is like a modern day hymn
For the new church,
I search for the truth,
I've got a hole in my tooth,
I'm uncouth, yes sir,
I'm from the street university
Where we learn to earn even in times of adversity.
And I will find it a easy when you're out a hard time,
Petite crime sometimes,
But now I'm inclined to find
A fresh direction, kiss me neck,
Check out the funky section.
Cos this is the part where I start to rip up words,
A comfort coming straight from my heart,
I'm not a mystic,
My views are realistic, simplistic,
One special brew I get pissed quick,
And get sick so I don't do it no more,
I won't find peace of mind
Rolling around on the floor.
The point I want to make,
The mistake is to take without giving,
From within,
You know how I'm living,
I'm cool, I'm looking after myself,
And I could never place wealth before my spirit,
I feel it's unhealthy,
The devil creep around you so stealthy, stealthy
'Till you get bold, rush the gold,
And before you're much older,
You're soul is sold, where's it getting ya,
Competition starts swearing ya,
Gold-diggers setting you up,
Soon be forgetting your existence,
Do you need a for instance,
I have to admire your persistence
In sticking to a game plan,
That brings you pain man,
And at the end of the day nothing is gained,
So listen to the voice within,
I'll see ya later,
Pay heed to the Grand Oral Disseminator.


Quite still you feel there's nothing going on
until you realize the space behind your
eyes is filling up with something like peace
as your thoughts cease some pleasure grows in your soul.
I aint a Christian
Sometimes I feel like diss'in em
But listen I'm just trying to tell you what I know
if you would once relax, chill to the max
these words on wax will cause sweet bells to ring in your soul.
If I say God is alive I know you'll want to know why babies die, food don't grow. Why?
Trains smash, plans crash,
situation mash and slam bam
your fellow man - money's in fashion
it aint rational, because dammit, he didn't just give us the planet
and its wealth, inside your soul he left a piece of himself, his voice is small
I keep lying and trying,
Denying the call from inside
You can't hide responsibility
So decide from today just who it's going to be,
Thou shalt have no other God but me,
So set you free see,
But you'll have to listen,
And who's that false idol
I see you kissing?
Money, success and untold wealth, good health
And all you have to do is love yourself.
It's a fact you'll attract all the things that you lack,
So just chill
And get off the race track
And take a pace back, face facts,
It's your decision,
You don't need eyes to see - you need vision,
Continue to view the lord as being separated
And you'll be living a lie that's being perpetrated,
For many centuries, I'm on a mission I want to mention these facts,
These facts in my rap,
I don't sing,
But I want to share the peace that they bring,
My name is G.O.D.
The Grand Oral Disseminator.
