Acacia Strain, The - Time And Death And God Lyrics






The spinning you feel is not of the earth, it's all in your head.
The blue in the sky and green in the grass, unwillfully imagined.
Everything you know sparked by unbelievable coincidence.
Sub consciousness.
Never any consequence.
The twinkle of the stars you see is your mind wishing to believe the magic of nonsense.
We are dealt a hand and we act like there's a dealer.
You can't define life without speaking to the reaper.
Your belief that death is an option hinges on the fact that life is a reality.
We started the fight for survival and now we want to quit because we are losing.
And we cannot define life without always uttering death.
I wear a watch even though I don't believe in time.
The idea is false, just like the rest of the ones in your mind.
I don't fear death because I refuse to believe in life.
Genius of design.
Fooled by your own mind.
Size is infinite.
Reality is never explicit.
Simplicity so impossibly complicated.
Infinity too dauntingly sophisticated.
I am not real.

Acacia Strain, The Time And Death And God Comments
  1. T.... M....

    Heavier than dick, but that middle part kinda throws it off. Goes from killing orphans to now im relaxed. Should of just kept it going in my opinion. Still one of my favorite bands!

  2. A.... O....

    Age..... Lucifer.....& God.

    A.... O....

    Those are the only 3 entities & that is just the way it is. Lucifer of the Sun... The Light.... & Age of the Moon.... The Reflection of The Light... & are the stars among Age..... Than there is The One..... God....... & This is just way it is. Does not matter if you like it or not. Deal with it. Just like I have to. Age of the Millennium. Better get ready for the one behind my back. They are not playing around anymore people. Better get it together quick. Please fasten your seatbelt. I have been here before & I am here again. There is no getting rid of thee. You can not get rid of a moment... a generation... an era..... time does not even exist... it was placed upon the capacity of the brain. To allow mankind to not get lost on the earth & have a schedule... however... there is an entity behind time you see.... & Watch what happens in *His* perfect timing...... Be good to yourself.... be good to your soul. You have absolutely no idea what you are in for. I assure you. I promise you. May you never forget this..... be wise... or be Hooked on Phonics you fool. Choice is yours. For that is all you have on this earth. Nothing belongs to you. At all. That is just the way it is. Truth hurts. Go back to your arrogant bliss.


    Sincerely.

  3. J.... C....

    You cannot define life....without always...uttering death. <3

  4. B.... ....

    this song is fuckign great such a shame about the big gap of nothingness like really if that was excluded this track would be awesome

    B.... ....

    BucKt0 it helps build atmosphere and I believe that’s what they were going for. A dreadful and miserable atmosphere

  5. E.... P....

    "I wear a watch. Even though I don't believe in time. The idea is false, just like the rest of the ones in your mind. I don't fear death, because I refuse to believe in life."

  6. N.... B....

    much heavy very djent

  7. S.... T....

    Dope as FUCK 😎

  8. D.... B....

    Fuck yea

  9. Z.... F....

    this is deep shit

  10. S.... ....

    The lyrics in the song are some of the best ever holy shit they dig deep

  11. s.... ....

    'THE SPINNING YOU FEEL IS NOT OF THE EARTH'

  12. A.... H....

    I fucking love this whole album. All of the song titles are depressing as fuck

  13. o.... ....

    0:29 "suck my diznick"

  14. P.... G....

    dl and vincent and had been in the band since the begging. I know a little piece of vincent hurts because of how good they sounded together and dl left. its what made the band. 

  15. S.... ....

    Bet you never expected to hear "The twinkle in the stars" in a deathcore/beatdown song .__.

  16. N.... S....

    I always see people complain about the meshuggah influence on this album like it's a bad thing lol. Personally I think this is one of the best metal songs of the "-core" generation. Love that dissonant jazz break and those super awesome Contradictions Collapse-esque harmonized lead lines in it. Plus the odd syncopation is a really nice change from TAS's usual chunnn chunnn chunnn rhythm. Drums are also on fuckin point on this song, wayyy underrated drummer imo

    N.... S....

    This song kills but honestly House of Abandon is the most beautiful metal/core song I've ever heard

  17. D.... P....

    It's too bad that so many people just argue about opinion and don't even talk about how awesome this song is. Everyone's opinion is valid, everyone can say what they want. I think Death Is the Only Mortal is my favorite album from them atm. It's definitely influenced by Meshuggah, but that's an awesome thing. Stop arguing and enjoy the music!

  18. W.... P....

    Anyone know the time signature to this song?

    W.... P....

    @***** Not completely in 4/4. Towards the end it alternates between 3/4 and 4/4.

  19. v.... ....

    I just got this album on vinyl.sounds so good

  20. S.... R....

    for anyone that cares...the comparison between EMMURE and TAS, is mostly due to the fight that Vincent and Frankie got into..so now the fans of each band have to have beef.. which is fuckin stupid. its about the feeling the music gives us.. not about the status, or how big a following...or playing Follow the Leader

    S.... R....

    Greetings from the future @Shawn Girouard. Ten months from now, a tour with both Emmure and TAS will transpire. 

  21. d.... c....

    3:56 the paradoxical spiral

  22. N.... D....

    DJeathcore

  23. c.... p....

    Ewwww wtf

  24. t.... ....

    Because sometimes you have to be nothing. Google "truth contest" and open "The Present"

  25. 0.... ....

    These lyrics blew my mind. This is some awesome TAS material!

  26. b.... ....

    "I don't fear death because I refuse to believe in life." Some powerful shit, right there.

  27. N.... B....

    There is a very big difference in being influenced by a band and ripping them off. I like TAS but I'm gonna have to go ahead and say they ripped off Meshuggah a few times on this album.

  28. M.... X....

    YouTube cannot create ads between this awesome that fit anywhere near the genre.

  29. N.... B....

    Nothing is wrong with Meshuggah. I love Meshuggah. It's just that DITOM sounds way too much like Meshuggah.

  30. O.... ....

    whats wrong with meshuggah

    O.... ....

    Opeth8797 nothing

  31. M.... ....

    The whole thing is like that...

  32. e.... ....

    I don't know, but I know he's been dating that Ashley chick for a while and they're getting married. I never heard that

  33. s.... ....

    i heard it was because of frankie stealing vincents girl? idk if it's true or not, just what i heard lol

  34. e.... ....

    Because there was beef between Frankie and Vincent a while back about stealing shit musically or something

  35. M.... ....

    Delaware on the 20th and not too long ago they were in AC..

  36. C.... ....

    Couldn't agree more.

  37. e.... ....

    wtf? unnecessary much?

  38. d.... ....

    They were very similar on their old albums not so much anymore.

  39. N.... C....

    I've never understood the comparison between emmure and TAS. Completely different bands, both awesome in their own metal ways.

  40. k.... ....

    This is the BEST way i've ever seen to say the bands in a nutshell. You have no idea how right you are in so many ways.

  41. B.... ....

    Very impressive boys.

  42. n.... w....

    so sick

  43. V.... E....

    Frankie Palmeri is one of the coolest people I've ever met.

  44. S.... S....

    Shut your lil ignorant mouths and listen to the lyrics you obliviously infant minded forms of profound matter. All these talk about "oh well technicality, they sound like this, blah blah blah..." just redundantly misses the point of what music and the meanings behind it stands for. Fall back into your clouded mind.

  45. P.... G....

    omg this music isnt techincal enough for me. just fuck me up the ass.

  46. N.... B....

    I didn't say anything about technicality. Cause TAS isn't very technical anyway. I'm talking about the part at 0:55.

  47. n.... ....

    you probably need to learn more about meshuggah and the avante garde genre in general

  48. t.... X....

    every band is meshuggah nowadays, everyone needs to get over that horseshit. they inspired so many bands every band ISNT RIPPING OFF MESHUGGAH. seriously, is no other band in the world allowed to ever be technical again?

  49. C.... a....

    No i get that man, im just saying its stupid that people are fighting over two different bands, they should be fignting other people

  50. R.... ....

    This band is about hate.... sorry but we don't plan on skipping and holding hands.

  51. J.... G....

    and by dangerously close to Meshuggah you mean they are touching grounds that probably no other band can? then you are correct and it's too epic :P

  52. C.... a....

    Your all stupid, you all have your opinions now shut it. seriously all of you who make this music scene into a big war are the ones that give us all a bad rep. now shut your mouths and listen to the fucking music for once.

  53. K.... ....

    Vildhjartacore :o

  54. c.... d....

    wahh wahh wahhh

  55. i.... ....

    It's amazing how bands get along better than the fans do. Redundant, over complacent, insulting bitching is all I usually ever see. Lots of us are guilty of doing so at least to some degree, but some of us a lot more than others.

  56. R.... B....

    Holy Fuck the lyrics !!!!!!!!!!!!

  57. p.... ....

    if you legitimately think you can argue personal tastes as facts, there is no fucking way I believe you can play any musical instrument with competence.

  58. M.... J....

    how you can even relate the two bands is beyond me...

  59. C.... W....

    I somewhat agree with you there. Maybe it will just take a few more listens

  60. s.... m....

    Plain and simple, Emmure is a shitty band thats based on the Cliche' fact that all females are heartles, dick mongering whores. TAS just hates everything.

  61. s.... m....

    you know what? at least Vincent isn't being a whiney bitch and complaining about all his hearbreaks he's ever had because he's probably not a piece of shit that doesnt know how to treat Females. Vincent just hates this world simply because of how fucked the planet is.

  62. C.... F....

    I must say that as a huge TAS fan, I was disappointed how this album came out. There is obviously talent here, but I don't know. It doesn't feel edifying. I say that with the utmost respect intended.

  63. e.... c....

    If people hate The Acacia Strain that much then go start your own band and when little kids surf the net and want to comment about how you sound like a similar band and how much you suck then you'll realize how much your opinion does never mattered to begin with

  64. S.... ....

    Both bands are awesome so I'm happy.

  65. N.... B....

    I like The Acacia Strain's newest album but this is dangerously close to Meshuggah.

  66. n.... ....

    go read mouth of the rivers lyrics lol

  67. M.... A....

    Dat squealing guitar... Unghhhh... Don't stop.

  68. M.... ....

    EXACTlY. <3

  69. d.... ....

    So now it is known! My point was I , in my opinion, feel that this TAS album is there best yet. Yes, I used usurped as a metaphor not literally, TAS does now play similar chord shapes and choruses as Meshuggah, hence Meshuggah is not the only one capable of 'duun dun dun bwoon' and then some, dumb ass! Then again you probably just kid whos feelings I hurt by expressing my opinion. Support Metal, not thread bashing, take it easy.

  70. d.... ....

    I am a fan of all extreme/heavy music but the ones that are progressing are the ones that are breathing life into this scene. I thought TAS'S previous albums were a little monotone and repetitive. In the new TAS we hear diverse vocals and more melody in the already good guitar tone, I like the new approach they are taking as opposed to the old. Jens Kidman has way more potential to be a better more diverse singer instead of constant screaming, no tonal change, tempo change except rarely.

  71. d.... ....

    First of all, the keyword is theory; basic guidelines to composing music. Scales, modes, phrasing, notes and chord choices all of these are left to the musician to build to make a musical composition that is unique! You are not the authority on musical comp ,nor I or Meshuggah, TAS, The Faceless or any other talented musicians. The guitar and all other instruments are tools of expression. I just feel Meshuggah should try different vocal styles as they do not give the great music credit.

  72. F.... ....

    If you legitimately think that Acacia Strain is better than Meshuggah, there is no fucking way I believe you can play any musical instrument with competence. Meshuggah can actually write beyond *duun dun dun dun bwoooom*. I went through my TAS phase just like everyone else, but that's not a comparison you can make if you have any knowledge about music theory or writing.

  73. x.... ....

    creepy song.

  74. B.... ....

    that's what makes it stand out to me. if floating around in space was accompanied by music, that part would be it.

  75. m.... ....

    TAS just has chugs (i'm not saying anything bad here)
    but meshuggah has a lot more technical riffage.

    it just happens that they're both heavy as fuck

  76. U.... ....

    I heard frankie has aids

  77. d.... ....

    Actually, The Acacia Strain has just usurped Meshuggahs' crown! I have complete respect and love for Meshuggah: for they have influenced me in my playing and personal life undoubtedly) and there beyond creative music,but they have in the past years let go of the individual song and putting your all into that song and now I feel like they are just putting out albums to put them out, I want the real Meshuggah back and I will have my Acacia Strain too! TAS definitely impresses on this album, Replay

  78. G.... D....

    curious, what makes you say that?

  79. F.... ....

    You is da funneh funneh guy you know!?

  80. K.... B....

    TAS is simply mini-meshuggah. This would be what you would get if all the members of meshuggah where still in high school.

  81. m.... ....

    hoodcore, i like that. perfect description of their fans. although i don't mind them haha

  82. L.... ....

    I like emmure and the acacia strain. Granted i like the acacia strain more they don't sound anything alike to me. i dont get why people fight over it.

  83. a.... ....

    My name is death, and you are the worst thing i have ever heard. What, did you create a youtube account just to search your own fucking name?!?

  84. D.... P....

    This song would be perfect if it wasnt for the the fucking 2 minute gap in the middle.

  85. E.... M....

    My name is acacia, and this is the worst thing i have ever heard! xD

  86. w.... ....

    Emmure died like 2 albums ago. The Acacia Strain is still very good, but don't worry, in an album or two, they will both be as shitty as each other!

  87. M.... ....

    Best song ever.

  88. w.... ....

    i thought acacia strain was emmure and just changed their name every other realease

  89. K.... B....

    But, emmure is better than the acacia strain.

  90. T.... M....

    ....Emmure, Frankie hates girls.......The acacia strain,Vincent hates the world................

  91. s.... ....

    I've liked Emmure for longer, but if I'm really honest with myself, Acacia Strain is better.

  92. d.... n....

    emmure is just known to be gay...

  93. A.... ....

    But which is better? That is the question.

  94. s.... ....

    or say that you like both bands.

  95. J.... T....

    A lot of people don't like new AS. As for me someone who has been a fan since 3750. It is all about progression. Without this there would be no new albums from any bands. So if your unhappy with the changes you always have the dead walk and 3750. Js

  96. C.... N....

    Umm....

  97. T.... ....

    i really hope that makes it to the top comments haha

  98. O.... ....

    This Album is okay every song sounds almost the same and I have a hardtime figuring out which song is which.

  99. c.... ....

    How can you see music? I'd like to know.
