Lyrics:
Look at him yearning
Desirous
His craving, his hunger
Constant needs, constant wants
Nothing will quell
Nothing will slake
Insatiable vacuous man

Hollow and see-through
His emptiness has made him frail
That dying thing still believes
Others drive the nails
Incendiary god complex
Such gift to flammable man
This is what it made of him
This is what remains
Behold, how he devours
Unappeasable and cursed
That arid soul, famished and desiccated
I am that thirst

His gluttony can not be stilled
This state can never be reversed
Hollow and empty
Endlessly

This is one of those special music videos for which you've gotta close your eyes to see it better.

[Retsea]

Still rhythmically genius. These dudes are the MASTERS of hypnotizing you into a riff. Constantly switching up the rhythms while still keeping those grooves.

-''Hey what you guys think about the new video?!''
-'' The music is good''
- '' Yes but what you guys think about the video!?''
- '' The music is good...''

FUN FACT: Meshuggah were formed in the 80's, which is where the SFXs for this music video also came from.

[CFChristian]

I hope whichever kid of theirs handed this into their CGI class gets an A+.

[TheElephantRoom]

Producer: How many cosmic anomalies do you want in this video?
Meshuggah: Yes.

[Metathronos]

This is definitely one of the videos of all time.

I have been a fan of meshuggah since 1991. The vocalist from my band was also the vocalist for the band unleashed power. When he came home from his European tour with them he handed me a cassette tape with the word Meshuggah on it. I was hooked. Still listening 30 years later!

"He had labored to take man to the stars, and, in the moment of success, the stars—the aloof, indifferent stars—had come to him." ~ A. C. Clarke, Childhood's End

[shrizza]

Their crazy liveshows with the lasers definitely make for a better video representation of their music than any concrete narrative-based video could.

[KillTheStar]

Meshuggah is the worlds best metal band.

[srmitch]

This has got to be one of the best Meshuggah songs ever… being a massive fan I didn’t think I’d be saying that but the song is absolutely BRILLIANT. Wow.

[DC]

I get the feeling that the band members themselves couldn’t care less about the music video aspect of it. I’m guessing that’s more so being pushed by the label. Let’s not let the video get in the way of their decades of awesome writing and contributions to music. These guys are and always will be in a league of their own.

[lgab]

It's a secret dream of mine to be involved in a Meshuggah video, to try and do the music justice with awesome visuals. Then this turd comes out. What a sad day.

[SadSandwichMusic]

Mannnn I wish y'all would do more videos like New Millennium Cyanide Christ. You are the greatest band and I will support whatever videos you make, but that low-budget, direct to fans, type of stuff will always be my most favorite.

[Manwithkeyboard]

I’m so glad Meshuggah and Neil Breen finally collaborated.

[Koivisto]

this has the same energy as those African sci-fi Predator rip-offs. I love it.

There won't be anything like Meshuggah, one of a kind band really.

[mothermetal]
