Pineal Gland Optics cover - Acoustic Meshuggah

An acoustic cover of the Meshuggah song "Pineal Gland Optics".

Merry Christmas, All!

Lyrics :

how come I shiver, hurt and bleed,
if in dreams I cannot truly feel
who would dare say, who would claim
this hallucination isn't real

synaptical glitch looking glass
so enticing, real and free of lies
prodigious, omnifarious
it nourishes, it feeds my starving eyes

artificial the catalyst, organic its progeny
voracious spectral offspring - so sweet in its hunger
unbound this new vision, optical regenesis
threatening, so complete in beautiful deformity

these authorative visions order my collective senses,
my questioning, doubtful, rigid self to kneel
a Judas syndrome in effect - former self the deceiver
its denial the wretched kiss that kept this in disguise

cast off - the conceiling veil, the rational cloak of doubt
torn off - the restraints, the blinded's shackles
burned away - the agony, the fear, the grief
a new set of eyes cleansed by a new belief

Meshuggah - Do Not Look Down acoustic cover

This is an acoustic cover of the Meshuggah song "Do Not Look Down".

Lyrics :

Strive, strive, surmount the obstacles
Become the essence of your goals
Hereditary dream
Pray that you may attain that destiny
Fall into the coveted line
Where life is but a theme
Of pretense in lustrous guise

Claims and values
Charts of means and status
Plaques to show your strife
Do your neighbour clones approve

Picture perfect illustration
Imitation of life
Where the path is evened out
All obstructions removed

Great viable citizen
Are you happy now?
Then praise your God and bow

Shimmering surface
The gleam of blinding lies
Become the product
The thing you so desire

To what length would you go to reach your goals?
What mantra will you use to justify your means?
Who will you betray to secure your dream?
What sins will you commit to avoid your sins be seen?

Do not look down
Do not look down
Or the abysmal beast of non-conformity
Might stare some unpleasant truth
Into your desensitized mind

Shimmering surface
The gleam of blinding lies
Become the product
The thing you so desire
