Tuning
Bb: Bb Eb Ab Db Gb Bb
"The correct tuning!!!"
F Bb Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
For a 8 string tune the 6th string to the 3rd bass string 1 1/2 strps down i think, like this
F Bb Eb Ab Db Gb if you want to sound good(ust the thickest strings u can find, or use 9's
and let them set awile)
Meshuggah uses DR strings : 9-70

| Hahaha, This song rocks. It's about how many humans are blinded by being told what they should be. | |

| Meshuggah seems to use psychological observations. Where these are derived from is your interpretation. Psychology, kabbalah, mysticism, come up with your own interpretation. Many cultures believe strange things, like in kabbalah it speaks as if this world is an illusion. It doesn't even exist. It's "nothing". Now who is to say that the majority of humans have it right? A disturbing number of college students still believes that our eyeballs emit light causing them to see. Of course this is wrong, but the reality is that is counter-intuitive and that's what I think this song is about. Personally most meshuggah songs remind me of kabbalah. | |

| To me this song takes a leaf out of Tool's tree of thought... don't let people tell you what you're seeing or hearing, make up your own mind about things. | |

| HCN is one the right track. This song is about a lot more than just media manipulation. Basically it's restating the old saying "The map is not the territory." What we perceive is only what we believe to be real. That doesn't make it real. Meshuggah seems influenced by the work of Philip K. Dick in this regard. | |

| This song is about relativism and how we humans will never be able to 'reach' absolute knowledge, as we are confined to our human way of thinking. In fact, the term 'absolute knowledge' is a human term, and we will never be able to sanely cross our 'thinking borders' to somehow understand what's beyond them. This I believe is what the lines "perspectives distorted, the ladder beyond our grasp, the twinheaded serpent forever hidden" point to. I believe the lines "reality untouchable, transparent, invisible to our fixed, restricted fields of vision, Existence taken for granted absolute" definitely point towards relativism. Did anyone read the book 'Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance'? In it, the main character discovers a different way of understanding the world, a way of thinking which leads out of the 'human realm' of thinking. The more he tries to perceive this understanding, the more he slips away, eventually turning insane, at least in our eyes. I think this what concerns the lines "where's the true knowledge, where engines of the sane and insanity merge". For those wondering what the hell I'm babbling about: try looking up the terms 'relativism', 'absolute knowledge', and 'sophism' in Wikipedia and things will hopefully become clearer. :) | |

| Great song. I was surprised to hear this on a net radio station out of Las Vegas (knac.com... good stuff). In any case, I think this song is about cutting away from the images and words of "truth" known as the news. Everything we see, whether on TV, newsprint, the Internet, or heard on radio... it has to be taken with a grain of salt. The ones who realize this "complete the disintegration" and dissemination of the truth from lies. In the end though, "the ladder beyond our grasp" and there is nothing we can do to change the huge political machine in place. So, "we walk among the ignorant", knowing that there is not much we can do. In being dissidents, we only run into trouble with no solution, and so we "never stray from the common lies." Great song. | |
