What solace lies in the arms of fate
The ill embrace of uncertainty
When did I leave this in other hands
To be pulled down at chance
Ripped away by destiny-claws
Am I another of fate's possessions
Dwelling the lie of freedom
Just another straw pulled at random
Reclaimed by deceiving time
A silent judgment I can not overrule
Drawn back into the origin-vortex
Uprooted and ground to dust
Retracted into anti-existence
A magnet repelled by life's polarity
Denied the self control of fate
we flow suspended in semi-life
Until the ever imminent day
when oblivion claims our breath
Nowhere indefinitely. Not dead, not alive
Existence-patterns ripped of symmetry.
As will and fate divide
Have I appeased the gods of fate
Am I allowed another day
Must I die to escape
the scanning eyes of death

Meshuggah sono un gruppo musicale svedese di metal progressivo formatosi ad Umeå nel 1987. La formazione originale comprendeva Jens Kidman (voce), Fredrik Thordendal (chitarra solista) e Tomas Haake (batteria, entrato nel 1990). Mårten Hagström si unì come chitarrista ritmico nel 1993. Il ruolo di bassista è stato ricoperto da diversi musicisti fino al 2004, quando Dick Lövgren ne divenne il membro fisso. Meshuggah sono noti per la loro musica complessa e innovativa, caratterizzata da tempi irregolari, riff intricati e un suono distorto. Sono considerati pionieri del genere djent, che combina elementi di metal progressivo, death metal e mathcore. Tra i brani più rappresentativi figurano "Bleed", "Rational Gaze" e "New Millennium Cyanide Christ". L'album "ObZen" (2008) è considerato uno dei loro lavori più influenti.
