The rest... Notes: This is all the eps and stuff not in the other two master lyric sheets. The list is chronological. There are a few exceptions such as "Cataract" from the aborted second LP recording, which I have no idea what the lyrics were anymore. Also the "Necropolitan" ep version of "The Inalienable Dreamless", which has the same words as the LP version but in a different arrangement. I also didn't bother to print lyrics to the covers, but I included little stories about them ^_^ Hypnosis Stencilled identity symmetrically anonymous Counterfeited dreams evict mind Tenets of euthanasia carry out your Designs Dangling lifeless on a marionettes jig Violated identity begins to wave Self begins to fall apart Notes. One of the original 3 songs we wrote. I always a warm spot for this one but I think Dave hated it haha This was from the days when we wrote songs: voivod 4, blast 8, voivod 2. Any strange part was referred to as a Voivod part, anything with mid paced beats was called a Slayer part and the blast parts were...blast parts ^o^ It appeared on the first "demo", the split with Cosmic Hurse, the split with Hellchild and the OSV CD collection. Parliament of Anonymity Scarecrows dance On an electrified fence Acknowledge subservience With a pledge of subordinance I submit to the decorum of the parliament of anonymity Notes. The last verse of this is sung in a different order on every record. On the split with Def Master it's sung "I submit to the of parliament...anonymity." Don't ask, I have no answers ^o^ Originally inspired by the story "The Parliament of Rooks", this song was on the split with Cosmic Hurse, the split with Def Master, and there were several other versions on the OSV CD. Macro (formerly Macropolitical Drama) Foundation still standing Auger creeping Geared up for what's perceived to be A preemptive war Buffer zones Islands of concrete In a sea of tears Held accountable to a seige of authority Allied union septic discord enthrall Practicing diplomacy of walls of confinement Winding down into turmoil Notes. I've heard a lot of covers of this song. I think it's out most covered song after Info Sniper. Anyways this was inspired by an old comic book called Albedo Anthropomorphics by Steve Gallaci which is in turn inspired by the events of the cold war...It features lots of classically bad lines such as the entire last verse except for the last line. Sigh...It appeared on the split with Cosmic Hurse, the split with Hellchild, the split with Capitalist Causalities and the OSV CD. My Neighbor Totoro Instrumental Notes. The guys wrote this thinking I'd never let them record it but I surprised everyone by saying, "Sure, it rocks". We played it a few times live because people were actually shouting it out at our shows?! Inspired by the anime "My Neighbor Totoro", this one appears on the OSV CD and the split with Def Master. Settlement Blindfold drawn taught a catalyst for stagnation Befit anonymity ascribed to rote Hypocritical instinct guides towards assigned delusion Arrested thoughts follow itineraries traced along walls. Stylized crucifixion nestled in their feign Swing of the pendulum in sync with the grindstone Clotting the flow of information Encrypted range of ones and zeroes. Notes. Actually I like the words to this one, a rare event in the case of our older material such as this. Hypocritical instinct however is a Multiplex song, so I tip my hat ^_- One of our first tunes about information as power. This one was improvised and came out pretty well I think. Appears on the OSV CD and the split with Def Master. Ice Graciously Employing our lives In the harsh subroutines Of slavery Ensuing death from stress And all your problems Is only so much Pins and needles Scurry into the rat race at the sound of an alarm clock Field of an operative vacuum Comforted by the permanence Of unending crucifixion Mothballed refugees Of a discarded life Plucking raw nerves In a smoke screen. Notes. Originally written in the second batch of DA tunes back in 93 it underwent a few changes that can be heard in the differences between the original version and the split with Def Master version. I like some lines in this one but not all of them. Dave loved this one and we used to play it all the time. Originally recorded for the split with Hellchild it was unreleased till we came out with it on the split with Def Master. The original is only released on the OSV CD. Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie (originally by Black Flag) Notes. The Black Flag classic. The guy at the beginning is Steve Evetts who engineered/recorded a lot of our stuff. He's since done Sepultura records and all kinds of other really terrible big money metal crap. This was played live a bunch of times in Japan but never live with Witt. On the Def Master split and the OSV CD. Alzheimer Slipped in Half blind to the slot Rotating device Fires its Sodium Pentothal Antithetic Displacement Matted Cold Words in a tract of mind Sold at a loss But I fail to remember Notes. We improvised this one with Rob Proctor in Japan. It sounded pretty good so we added it to the roster when we got back and Dave wanted to do DA again. We only played it live with him 1-2 times. On the split with Plutocracy and the DA 2.0b/Jouhou CD. Eye Gag Masses of numbness thriving on yawn Thirst for dull, taste for numb. Notes. Something like 6 seconds long. On the split with Plutocracy and the DA 2.0b/Jouhou CD. Area Trinity An exact terminus Deposits Cesium 1-3-7 Into acres of dead ash Endowed with cancer As the ground Crumbles beneath our feet Acidly Farming out the Earth's marrow A litmus tested metaphor Proven for conscienceless rape Serial catastrophe Cumulatively irreparable damage Destruction has set A limitless bound China syndrome Green peace Area Trinity Notes. Another song inspired by the "Nuclear Landscapes" book by Peter Goin, a photo documentary of the many nuclear test and waste disposal sites left in the wake of our history. On the split with Plutocracy and the DA 2.0b/Jouhou CD. Integer Process to scan lines and monitor absinthe Complicated knots, autonomic still Amplifying delusion Into my absolute stagnation Combing selectively with informed amnesia Deflated independence, sigh to growl Scan lines etch a digital time killer Mind sweeping aperture, clues me out Viciously passive, in the shellac of routine As the spokes address Voice over dubbed in, numb existence key Mirror image, that's never really free Notes. Some great riffs, ok words and a mediocre assembly. I really love the second riff in this song. This was in heavy live rotation on the Melt Banana/DA US tour in 95. Thanks for coming...both of you ^o^ Last song on the split with Plutocracy and the DA 2.0b/Jouhou CD. Amphetamine Hollow Tip Amphetamine chaser inspires insomnia Like a broken record repeating a pattern of death Sleep deprivations spawns awkward dementia Of high tension toxic, hollow tip ethic Groping for closure An extension of quota gate Going to what lengths To confirm a presumption of death Coordinate a diet based around pills A feasibility study of production enhancement Many a false step is made standing still Scuttle watch worry mind fuck again and again Groping for closure An extension of quota gate Going to what lengths To confirm a presumption of death Again and again Notes. Hardest DA riff to play. We almost never played it right either haha The only DA song with a chorus. Take me to the gallows. I hate songs where the lyrics are just repeated again and again...choruses don't bother me but when every verse is the same...that's just lazy. On the split with Melt Banana and the DA 2.0b/Jouhou CD. Tokyo Concrete source from Tinges in the grey rain of subsequent instances Abdomens buck Its endless overpopulation onslaught Horizons drum with surrender To hurtling structures in limitless eruption City streets outstretch teeming In the activity of its design (unintelligible) The activity of its design Tokyo Notes. Rob Marton wrote the lyrics to this since I actually hate this song ^o^ Many say it's our most catchy song. I always thought it sounded too upbeat but what do I know ^_^ The unintelligible line is there because I honestly have no idea what, if anything, I growled there. I actually sung the part too fast but didn't want to bail out because it sounded so good overall. The second scream has another behind it...that's from a scrapped vocal track. Appears on the split with Melt Banana and the DA 2.0b/Jouhou CD. So Unfilial Rule Go bug Melt Banana for the words. Notes. When we decided to do a split with MB we wanted to cover one of their songs. They in turn decided to cover "One-D" from "Ulterior". Oddly I ended up liking their version of "One-D" better than ours and our version of "So Unfilial" better than theirs. Whoops. Appears on the split with Melt Banana and the DA 2.0b/Jouhou CD. Junk Utopia Pipe dreams and amnesia ceilings coordinate my subordination Movement I recommend Bullet proof heart, disordered head The perfect compliment In the cross hairs of Promethean scope Propaganda is omnipotent Dote on every whim Pipe dreams and amnesia ceilings coordinate my subordination Spoonfed sawdust Glares nest Mental screen saver Without reverse means Slavery To Me Notes. My fascination with the word amnesia must've followed my over use of the word "delusion". Sigh. Mental screen saver is actually something I saw in Calvin and Hobbes when I was little kid. I never noticed it till I was reading through one of my C&H collections a few weeks ago. I can't believe I still remember the words to these things. Appears on the split with Melt Banana and the DA 2.0b/Jouhou CD. Continuity Decapitated body Of information Reassembled wrong into a smile I always took this Prescribed carcinogen And watched my aura Fall to grey Delusional liaisons for spring loaded images Stalking words Dry lunged from tranquility Cancer clustered, going nowhere fast Turn style Unfree mentality am I suspect? Life tuned to a time table Scourge rhythm, accelerated Discordance axis spinning Like a roulette wheel I'm a split personality torn In between a flat calm null Awestruck and spellbound I can only watch Notes. I think this was my fav song, lyrically, up until we recorded TID. I spent a lot of time with this one. It changed dramatically when we recorded it too...we had a lot of problems with it and tended not to play it live very often. Appears on the split with Melt Banana and the DA 2.0b/Jouhou CD. [ back ]
