This song is one of the longest and strangest Meshuggah have created. The first section of the song sounds like a normal Meshuggah song but around a third of the way though the song turns into a very abrasive noise section. Then in the final section of this song every song from Chaosphere is played...
Assembled from dead, incompatible pieces
Livid fragments regenerated
Decomposing bits of organic matter brought to life, revived
A liquid, limbless, sickening shape
A faltering semi-floating cluster
Its sole purpose of creation
To burst the imagination blood surge
Defying the mould of human flesh
Smashing the wall of beliefs
A sight to bring insanity to all dimensional reality
Carved from thoughts unthought
Into a graphic, visible delusion of life
A twisted display of dehumanized features
By cells reflected, refracted
A frantic dancing of particles in pathetic attempt at rendering flesh
Swirling to project the illusion of shape, dimension, and mass
A walking translucent entity
Void, suspended
Inviolate by our rules
All standards of existence
An electrified vapor-cloud
A skein of bone and tissue
An atrocity
A liquid form unshaped to the organic norm
A mind not filled with thoughts
But a random, flickering static
A soulless creature un-alive
I'm the un-human elastic
