Black Sabbath - Methademic Lyrics

Played this live in Belfast and the place was jumping,fantastic song.🤘🤘🤘

Bad Ass Jam.

I lived that life. If you can call it living.
This song is truth.
Thank God I'm off that shit.

I cannot begin to underscore the truths that ozzy's lyrics teach here in this song. Every single word, sentence is real my friends. Especially the statement: "Your super nightmare has just begun!" Do NOT test this statement. You will ruin yourself.

Peace of Mind is still my fave!

just drink another one

Ozzy’s life story

This doesnt even sound like Black Sabbath... not at all.

Barney Rubble then you clearly don’t know who the hell Black Sabbath is

@LeaderOf TheRedSlimes I've been listening to Black Sabbath for almost 40 years.. this DOES NOT musically sound like Sabbath. .. The auto-tuned Ozzy vocals maybe... listen to "The Devil you Know" that sounds like Black Sabbath. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGEnm76wh_I

Just curious: one day you praise drugs like marijuana (Sweet Leaf), the other, you demonize meth. This world really turns...

Also snowblind which was a reference to the insane cocaine intake sabbath had in the seventies

"Falling off the edge of the world"?? ;)

Here’s an actual though on the music and not f****** crystal meth - you can tell that Tony Iommi playing!!!!!!! The same slight bend on the strings that he always put on them. And while the overall sound sounds a little to “new” it’s not that far removed from the last several Ozzy/Sabbath albums. The same tune just better production.

This song makes it crystal clear that meth is bad for you

nice pun

This song came out when I was an addict. 2 years clean but it still haunts my mind. Luckily I know Ozzy had a hard time with substance abuse and I love him too much to keep going. Don't make fun of addicts. They need help. I love you Ozzy

We never really "beat" addiction, we just have to keep fighting that demon from day to day....Only a person that has been there can know what that is like.

i love u dkav61

"You sit and wait at hell's fiery gate...awaiting the devil's arrival" Welcome back Satan! Glad you decided to join the reunion!

One of the best songs on the album!
It SOUNDS like what taking a blast of meth FEELS LIKE
Tina is a bitch!
Hard to quit her!

This is my uncle's anthem

This album is amazing!!! I love Geezer Butler's fat bass tone in this album!!!

I think its on the deluxe album only as a bonus track

I read that as "I love Geezer butt's fat ass lone in this album"

This song made me realize that I prefer not to have meth in my life and I quit doing it havent done it in over a year at least

my cousin got busted with it

@pencil pen no i didn't.

how are you doing now?

👹Fürst der Finsternis 🤘🏻Great !!!

The fast and heavy part really gives me some anxiety cause I’ve tweaked before and its not fun. I’m just glad I didn’t ever feel the need to do meth again. The fast and heavy part really reminds me of lying awake on the streets of Portland fast being awake for 4 days and I was still high as hell. I was hallucinating.

I stick to sweet leaf.

My mom is is on that shit she snorts it instead of shooting it or smoking it please pray for her she thinks people are shocking her with dog fencing or cell phone

At least they know how to "paint a picture" with the music. Props to the band for taking you there and props to you for not going back.

Is the intro guitar bottom string supposed to be out of tune? To emphasize how crooked Meth is?

i'd think so :)

Who else keeps rewinding it to the beginning? I always imagine how 100% of listeners never would have guessed that is Black Sabbath. This song hits home for addicts and I hope that they can escape the Monster's Stomach. I escaped after 23 years of alcohol somehow. Honestly, I don't know why it was so 'easy'. the same thing happened with quitting smoking. **Shrug Shoulders and just enjoy the greatest band of All-Time(Better than the Beatles in my view).

How can you not know it is Sabbath? I have personally seen what long term use of Meth can do. It literally ages a person twice as fast.

Sorry, but that's about methadone or methanfetamine?

ozzy wrote it on meth doing lines in a mirror

Have you believed the gospel? The gospel is that Jesus died on the cross for your sins was buried and rose again the third day

@ZIGMONGER I'll get into a debate with you and SLAM YOUR ASS HARD.ANYTIME. ONE WAY RIDE.

@Janet Mobilia bring it !!

@Janet Mobilia I can see there will be no sexual tension or innuendo in this debate because your crude post was very unladylike. Which I found appalling

Why are you arguing?

Lol, OK 👌

what the mean of 13?

the album was released in 2013

Thiago spc geezer said the label wanted 13 songs. They at that point did like 8 or 10 and called the album 13 as a fuck you

Sounds a Technical Ecstacy era. Love the upbeat double time!
Great little pop song! I like it!!!

I prefer Ozzy's voice higher pitch like when he was young in the 70s on songs like Dirty women and Never Say Die

Best black sabbath yet

Reminds me of Alice In Chains with the acoustic.

Reminds me "falling off the edge of the world".

God that bassline is demonic

Toni Yommi sempre quebrando tudo...

*Tony Iommi

Where are these extra tracks from? My album only has 8 tracks.

Peter Santoro I see you guys get cds. Still the best form to get music

FODAAAAAAAAA

4:32 vocals sound like the Team Rocket Hideout music from Pokemon RBY

The epidemic from a crystal lie
Puts you in super over drive
The methademic that is so hard to hide
Insanely staring with wide eyes

Hellucinating in a chemical Hell
Ain't my idea of having fun
Synthetic overload you're under its spell
Your super nightmare's just begun

You try to stop, but it controls you
Your love affair with it won't last
You're on a suicidal ride of self-destruction
And in the end you're gonna crash

You live too fast
You live too fast

You look just like a dead man alive
Losing the fight for survival
You sit and wait at Hell's fiery gate
Waiting the Devil's arrival
Ha-Ha-Ha

You live so fast you need more methademic crystal
You never sleep you just keep goin
Just push the trigger on your hypodermic pistol
Each time you're dying without knowing

You live too fast
You live too fast

What's the point it's killing you without you even knowing
I can tell you've sold your soul and hell is where you're going
Ha-ha-ha I'll see you there

Badass song and it has a good message. Meth is a hell of a drug, stick with sweetleaf my friends.

Both should be legal, though.

Amen brother

I cringed alittle in my mouth but okay, I guess I agree. Oxycodene is the shit tho.

I see you like both Zep and Sabbath

best sabbath song ever hands down

ur both wrong. its really impossible to choose, but war pigs, into the void, and heaven and hell are all clearly better

and tv crimes?

It's impossible to pick, but in terms of just brutal ass kicking metal, "Symptom of the Universe", "Children of the Grave", "Electric Funeral", "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath"...ok, every Sabbath tune is heavy as all fuck, so I'll just stop, lol. This is definitely in my top though too man, so I can definitely agree. Iommi murders this riff like it just had sex with his wife. Every time I listen to it, I find myself ready to start banging my head off walls and shit. Geezer's bass line and tone? He is just a motherfucking GOD!

Doubt, cross of thorns exists

uggghh.. get the hell outta here... This doesn't even sound like Black Sabbath.

This sounds like Motörhead. And I heard Ozzy wrote the lyrics to this song, he is great friends with lemmy. I can definitely hear the influence in the song.

You mean was :'(

Little Motorhead, little To Mega Therion-era Celtic Frost. Epic, in other words. And yes, I know it's been almost three years since Lemmy left us, but I'm not over it...

BBC african warrior the heavy bass definitely sounds like Motörhead. They were similar to postMaster of Reality Black Sabbath a lot of people forget. That’s what this sounds like to me. Late 70s Black Sabbath with a little better production. You can even hear Tony Iommi bending the strings a little like he always did if you listen close!

Intro hotel california

Man, I can't believe ow great this whole album is! Should have checked it out much earlier! I always thought it was a just just a stupid cash grab... How wrong can one be!

Its an awesome album and im not a rocker type guy!

@Mike O'Hernia You just have a hell of an ear for talented music when you hear it.

Glad you looked beyond the cover. Enjoy bro!

Love how they phasered ozzys voice at the ending

Tip: just in case you didn't know it's the last lines repeated

The lyrics .. thank me later :)

The epidemic from a crystal life
Puts you in super overdrive
The methademic that is so hard to hide
Insanely staring with white eyes

Hallucinating in a chemical hell
Ain't my idea of having fun
Synthetic overload, you're under it's spell
Your super nightmare's just begun

You try to stop
But it controls you
Your love affair with it won't last
You're on a suicidal ride of self-destruction
And in the end you're gonna crash, you live too fast
You live too fast

You look just like
A dead man alive
Losing the fight for survival
You sit and wait
At hell's fiery gate
Waiting the devil's arrival, ha ha ha!

You live so fast you need more methademic crystal
You never sleep, you just keep going
Just pull the trigger on your hypodermic pistol
Each time you're dying without knowing, you live too fast
You live too fast

What's the point, it's killing you without you even knowing
I can't tell you so your soul and hell is where it's going, ha ha ha!
(I'll see you there)

This isn't old school Black Sabbath like most fans like, but it's my fave Black Sabbath song! Most Sabbath fans disagree, but this is the one for me.

I Think all Black Sabbath records have good songs.

This song is probably one of my favourite Black Sabbath songs tbh

13 is a really great album but I agree with you. It was heavily twinned with the first 2 albums. Methademic is more like something from Sabotage or even Dio era. Shoulve been on all versions of 13. Love the end vocal Aaaaaah's.

Sounds pretty oldschool to me and extremely heavy

i know ya isolation, i love technical ecstacy album from start to end yet noone see what i do ???

look around it's everywhere infecting our minds and distorting our perceptions of reality..
or maybe it's just me....
I guess it's all relative

Look around

what album is this song on because I bought the 13 album and it's not on there :/ great album though

Its on the deluxe edition.

You bought the commercial version lol

through the entire album i find myself wanting to hear ozzy sing at a higher pitch.

They did record this album a half step down.

When this line up was last recording 40 years ago they had guitars set to E. So Oz is singing lower.

Doctor Rokter For me ozzys voice is creepier lower.

Still heavy as Hell MOTHERFUCKER

Let alone the techicalities, it has also to do with age. Almost 63 years old when they recorder this.

fucken beast
