Circle Of Dust - Machines Of Our Disgrace Lyrics






"I heard you're rather famous on Earth."
- "Well, I'd say, my fame has reached the stars!"
- "Then let me give you a bit of advice. Here among the stars it is better not to be quite so cocky."

Paralyzing, elixir of contempt
Overriding sobriety's attempt
A narcissism we so eagerly embrace
Smile as we assemble the machines of our disgrace

"The people surrendered their liberties and threw away their human dignity."

Submission without a fight
Corrosion, mind parasite

Metastasizing in such a willing host
The real disease has been misdiagnosed
Dehumanizing and difficult to face
We've built our own destruction, the machines of our disgrace

"The people surrendered their liberties and threw away their human dignity."

Submission without a fight
Corrosion, mind parasite
Parasite

"You arrive here at a critical moment."
"Galaxy M12, year 2116"
"You arrive here at a critical moment."
"Galaxy M12, year 2116"
"I heard you're rather famous on Earth."
- "Well, I'd say, my fame has reached the stars!"
- "Then let me give you a bit of advice. Here among the stars it is better not to be quite so cocky."

Submission without a fight
Corrosion, mind parasite
Mind parasite

"Government of the people, by the people, for the people"
"Government of the people, by the people, for the people"

Submission without a fight ("by the people, for the people")
Corrosion, mind parasite ("by the people, for the people")
"Shall not perish from the Earth"
"They gave up their lives to individual human beings"
Submission, corrosion, mind parasite

"Let me give you a bit of advice."

  16. p.... p....

    Pokémon Go players disliked the video

  17. P.... ....

    sonofa... this is just friggin HEAVY!!!!! that damn guitar riff!!!! AHHHHHH I CANT STOP REPLAYING!!!!!!

  18. C.... N....

    Класс!!!

  19. T.... ....

    It's not brutal enough but remember its not meant to be and it doesn't have to even if it was ~Josh

  20. M.... .....

    So I've looked into Circle of Dust before cuz I love everything Klayton touches but i never could get in Circle of Dust and I'm starting to enjoy it!

  21. J.... R....

    Man.. If Klayton/CoD/Celldweller ever did a song with Paul Wardingham, I would shit my pants with glee. Peanut butter and muhfuckin' chocolate those two would be together.

  22. T.... P....

    That girl needs to lower her brightness

    T.... P....

    Twisted Prime Plus not just the brightness, her exposure to it as well. There's a shitload of kids who are phone addicts in my school.

    T.... P....

    whoooosh

  23. M.... ....

    I would say this is Klayton's best song under any of his names

  24. J.... M....

    HELL YES!!!! FINALLY!!!!

  25. D.... B....

    This is completely normal if you live in Finland. Underage kids have smartphones at school too.

  26. N.... O....

    The words "submission without a fight" really made it 10 times better than it already was, it went from "despicably amazing" to "too good to not hear on repeat for 5 hours"

  27. S.... B....

    This is so channeling Brainchild. He responded to me on the "Ask Celldweller LOL" asking if he would ever cover a C.O.D. song & he had a response he had a surprise coming soon.

  28. A.... P....

    New genre - Pokemon-core

  29. o.... ....

    Шедевр!

  30. j.... h....

    best song of the decade!!

  31. T.... ....

    OMG, when did THIS happen? They got heavier, but I like it. Still industrial with lots of keys. REALLY GOOD.

  32. i.... p....

    i shall names this genre to pokemonmetal

  33. I.... R....

    Man, this is GREAT!!!!! Love Celldweller etc. But yes, I am one of those who have been waiting 20 od years!! You kick ass man !!!

  34. D.... B....

    OMFG I'm in love!! I can't even!

  35. C.... x....

    I wish someone would release tabs for this.

    C.... x....

    Actually it's not so hard. All I know is, that it's drop B od B standard tune.

  36. M.... m....

    those drum stick twirl accompanied by the music swells are so satisfying

  37. D.... R....

    I'll be honest, out of all the CoD albums, including this, I'd still say I prefer Disengage. This is honestly a close second though and has its merit. This track, Humanarchy, Outside in. All very nice songs. A few of these, like older CoD tracks, are hit or miss for me though. I sadly cannot enjoy it all the way through like I can Celldweller, Scandroid, or the a for mentioned Disengage album.

  38. K.... ....

    Klayton, you are one hell of an artist. I've listened to your works for several years, here is to many more, *takes a drink*.

  39. N.... d....

    sounds like fear factory mixed with blue stahli lol

  40. A.... ....

    you are a awesome content producer

  41. P.... M....

    you..rock..!

  42. N.... S....

    I am starting to think this is more Industrial Metal than Industrial Dance. lol

    N.... S....

    Naito Shade Circle of Dust Disengage is Industrial Dance.

  43. N.... N....

    the music contains copyright?

  44. R.... A....

    can someone tell me the names of the models?

  45. B.... 1....

    i was a NIN fan but dang i believe Circle of Dust has them beat. stand back Trent Rentzor, Klayton coming through!

    B.... 1....

    That's ridiculous

  46. Z.... ....

    Circle of Dust + DOOM = Holy F_ck!

  47. P.... L....

    Please release it on vinyl, I've been listening to CoD since 1993 wishing it was available on wax but tape was the most analogue format at that time.

  48. S.... H....

    I am just not getting into it

  49. t.... n....

    im a new circle of dust fan is that too late ?

    t.... n....

    @Twisted Prime I became a fan last September.

    t.... n....

    @ Q Anon
    For Circle of Dust is Klayton aka Scandroid formerly known as Celldweller, so did I. Never too late to add new names to your favourite music list :)

  50. B.... W....

    This is incredible - love it <3

  51. M.... R....

    Finally... 😉

  52. I.... ....

    Habitually not a fan of Klayton's voice but I gotta admit that he's singing in an awesome way on this one :D

  53. K.... P....

    клэйтон возращается к своим истокам...

  54. D.... ....

    Can you give tabs? Sounds wonderful.

  55. E.... Z....

    Circle of Dust is back 'super bitches', hells yeah babies!! You da man Clay. Do a whole new album man. I miss the old days and this floored me to see you bring it back. It rocks your face off and truly means something. Gold standard f'real man. Love and love.

  56. C.... B....

    It's been a while since I've headbanged that hard.

  57. R.... B....

    FYI every smartphone manufacturer, this song is about you

    R.... B....

    or maybe we are abusing of smartphones, that's not manufacturer's fault.

    R.... B....

    @maikisvk3 Yeah, it is actually. They designed them to be addictive, after all. Given that most things in our daily llives are harmful yet addictive, we cannot find the willpower to resist ALL of them. We are miserable due to our social surroundings, traditional education and jobs and need a relief. Sadly, there's no healthy relief from toxicity for the majority of people at this moment.

  58. s.... ....

    Sounds like Klay repurposed the riff from the beginning of 'Senseless Abandon' for this song. If so, i'm just making an observation. There's nothing wrong with that, if indeed that's what he did.

  59. K.... T....

    So, Klayton, when are you gonna announce the album you mentioned in the description?

  60. M.... ....

    Celldweller is good, but Klayton, You belong doing Circle of Dust. This is just amazing. I was listening to this on a good pair of head phones - and the break down at 2:57 almost knocked by consciousness out of my body right into the wall.

  61. V.... R....

    She clearly wasn't playing Pokemon..

  62. W.... S....

    I didn't know Klay was in Circle Of Dust, I always though it was that Scott Albert guy.

    W.... S....

    Scott Albert is Klayton. He legally changed his name years ago, and has always been the sole member of Circle of Dust (except for the live concerts he did years ago)

    W.... S....

    That was a joke. :)

    W.... S....

    Ask him about making Christian music, just for the lulz.

  63. C.... E....

    This song is F*CKING BEAST

  64. F.... ....

    FUCK YES!

  65. J.... S....

    I ment to say majikarp

  66. J.... S....

    awesome I love it and me being a poke fan and the person who defended manicures honor that's awesome and I like majikarp because it evolves into gyarados

  67. J.... S....

    awsome thank you klayton for bringing back circle of dust after all these years rock on

  68. m.... m....

    Been waiting for this men :D
    Awesome

  69. L.... ....

    It's taken too long, but I'm glad to be discovering Circle of Dust after having listened to celldweller for so long.

  70. E.... ....

    FUCK. YES.

  71. C.... P....

    is klayton doing every instrument? i can't tell

    C.... P....

    yeah is Klayton

    C.... P....

    Klayton does everything as always

    C.... P....

    That's HUGE YES! 🤘👊✌️

  72. v.... ....

    So my question here is if Klayton has actually seen "assignment: outer space" because i've never even heard of the movie until i started looking up the quote in this song.

  73. s.... q....

    Kage bunshin klayton style

  74. B.... S....

    Kinda fucked up that Klay didn't release any real music vids like this for his new Celldweller album, but released a couple for CoD.. :/

    B.... S....

    Brucho Sindicate yeah WUAB and EOAE so good but all music.anyway still love it though

  75. A.... /....

    "Let me give you a bit of advice... here among the stars it is better not to be quite so cocky."

  76. v.... ....

    Almost certain this is about how cellphones and most of our other little gadgets are destroying a lot of our culture and ability to socialize with one another in direct contact.

    Couldn't agree more.

  77. J.... L....

    Great music great video !!!!

  78. B.... D....

    PSA: The full lyrics are included in the official single MP3 file:

    Paralyzing elixir of contempt
    Overriding sobriety's attempt
    A narcissism we so eagerly embrace
    Smile as we assemble the machines of our disgrace

    Metastasizing in such a willing host
    The real disease has been misdiagnosed
    Dehumanizing and difficult to face
    We've built our own destruction, the machines of our disgrace

    Submission
    Without a fight
    Corrosion
    Mind parasite

    Also, I'm in love with this track. Kind of reminds of Contagion and I still kind of like it more, but this one has some mean riffs and great lyrics as well, so both tracks complement each other really well! Well done as usual, Klay!

  79. T.... ....

    Paralyzing elixir of contempt
    Overriding sobrieties attempt
    A narcissism we so eagerly embrace
    Smile as we assemble the machines of our disgrace

    Metastasizing in such a willing host
    The real disease has been misdiagnosed
    Dehumanizing and difficult to face
    We've built our own destruction, the machines of our disgrace

    Submission
    Without a fight
    Corrosion
    Mind parasite

  80. c.... ....

    I love the return to a more "organic" form of Industrial...if that makes any sense.

  81. D.... C....

    Great video! Klayton delivers as usual.

  82. M.... R....

    Should bring Burton C. Bell of Fear Factory in for a colab.

    M.... R....

    2 of my fav artists combining would be awesome!

    M.... R....

    i think there would be a conflict of interest there

    M.... R....

    not necessarily...

  83. M.... R....

    Wow upped the production for this vid! Nice.

  84. 5.... W....

    Awe, he is noticing all the #PokemonGO Phone Zombies.

  85. C.... ....

    Каеф

  86. T.... D....

    fuck yea! welcome back cod!

  87. h.... ....

    Did anyone mention that Pokemon Go is pure fucking evil yet? Oh.

  88. P.... V....

    I appreciate the recreation but miss the old sound, it's like Trent Reznor coming back to redo his old works. All in all it's great to hear this modernised.

  89. A.... S....

    Some of the BEST music I've heard this year! PHENOMENAL!

  90. M.... ....

    Fuck YEAH !!! I Love this ... Get Heavy !!

  91. P.... ....

    Would be rather excellent to be used in Mr. Robot (amazon prime series)

    P.... ....

    Agreed!

  92. F.... ....

    I love it !!!

  93. �.... �....

    EEEE, the normal clip from the time of switchback!! I've been waiting for this. Great Krasniy!)

  94. X.... ....

    Fingers crossed that the new album will be more than 12 songs long. Such a long wait for a return met with a short album would be sooo sad. D:

    X.... ....

    He has said before that he has at least 11, so there is a good possibility that could happen. Even if it was only 11 or 12 tracks I wouldn't expect it to be short, considering all tracks released from it so far are over 5 minutes long.

  95. �.... �....

    Awesome👍👌

  96. N.... S....

    love it ❤
