Death Grips - Artificial Death In the West Lyrics






Artificial death in the west east
Pyramids on deck shine
Wet hair on her neck breathe
She shoot pussy through your chest you die

There was a artificial death in the west east
All pyramids on deck shine
Wet hair on her neck breathe
G-o-d she shoot pussy through your chest you die

Where you runnin now

I'm barely there I'm everywhere
Heavy thin air sahara mascara smeared end of an era
Tracks on Hera's peacock thighs china white skies ivory of my leper eyes
Tone of sighs off nylon lips
Where you runnin now
In fish net wet guise of gimp horizon slit bled like my wrist I suck it dry
Which nipples mine read the signs still can't decide
At your own risk at your own risk
Don't touch me bitch don't touch me bitch
Where you runnin now
Accustomed to these satin glitches drippin from my caskets inners
Charmer play me out the basket last image I saw was splintered
My reflection wasn't in it in slow motion I give in
Where you runnin now where you runnin now
Hopeless premonitions
Tomorrow didn't come some say its hiding but they're the ones who've hidden
Euphoria followed by visions of peasants eating pigeons
Where you runnin now where you runnin now

There was a artificial death in the west east
All pyramids on deck shine
Wet hair on her neck breathe
G-o-d she shoot pussy through your chest you die

Where you runnin now

Watching me watching me watch them watch me

Hole in this platinum ship of fools nomadic rule concept no rules
Mobile shrine of this destitute wasteland mute
Screaming at me winking at me like I love it
Fucking wit me fuck it

My star gate in a vacuum monitors eye view
This valley is an urn this valley I'm wading through
Where you runnin now
Feel like I'm chasing after me feel like dead weight in a sea of vaseline
All that can't be seen watching me watching me watch them watch me
Try not to dwell on my cell my empty shell shedding me
Where you runnin now
Artificial death in the west east
Pyramids on deck shine
Where you runnin now
No matter where I turn shut down shut down
Everyones a runaway where you runnin now

There was a artificial death in the west east
All pyramids on deck shine
Wet hair on her neck breathe
G-o-d she shoot pussy through your chest you die

Watching me watching me watch them watch me

There was a artificial death in the west east
All pyramids on deck shine
Wet hair on her neck breathe
G-o-d she shoot pussy through your chest you die

    *This album is a masterpiece.*

  16. C.... R....

    artificial death like ego death of the west east mentality of the world. we are in a time where nobody is able to hide behind the ideal mask of how they want everyone to see them. we all will hang by the weight of our own ignorance to see where we stand in the grand scheme of our collective existence. are you willing or will you self destruct to be buried by your own ashes never to rise from them reborn like a phoenix.

  17. T.... ....

    This song kinda reminds me of the old MC Ride

    Sounds like something I'd hear in a Fear Factory

  22. I.... ....

    I can so clearly envision this as the track to the opening credits of some cynical comedy (cyncom?) TV show or something.

  23. D.... ....

    there was an artificial death in the west, east, pyramids on deck, shine, wet hair on her neck, breathe, G O D, she shoot pussy though your chest you die

    ha ha I was actually pretty fucked that he used a Death Grips track in that vid, that was absolutely the last thing I would have expected to see

  27. G.... ....

    I don't care what me and my stupid sense of quality think, this *is* my favorite song, i always come back for it and it never truly leaves me, i don't think anything else ever spoke to me on the level this does, i love everything that shapes this.

  28. G.... U....

    In the future, this should be one of the poems that you have to study in English classes at school, it's so cryptic and relevant to now

  29. R.... �....

    35 people had a sad cum, bb

  30. N.... P....

    I'm always nervous showing people what kind of music I listened to, especially death grips, but majority of the time when I get someone to listen to this band they love it. They're so fun

  31. C.... S....

    The lyrics are flexible with a couple if not many interpretations. When a song is done this well it feels like it speaks to you personally, if you want to take the time to realize what it's meaning to you is.

  32. D.... N....

    The beginning kinda sounds like something you would hear in Hotline Miami after you beat a level

  33. J.... P....

    Nice "staying in the 80s" omnisphere synth VST boi. #hakt

    J.... P....

    Its a sample from a wire song! WIRE were like the 70s punk death grips

  34. H.... ....

    thank grips

  35. A.... L....

    I dont understand how people like this, ive tried understanding it but cant. Someone enlighten me.

    A.... L....

    Listen to it again, now or a year later. If you still don't like it then it's just not for you.

    A.... L....

    Read the lyrics on Genius. There are amazing interpretations

    A.... L....

    Penisau alright, thanks

    A.... L....

    Iam Veridum i’ll try that, thanks

    A.... L....

    This is incredibly accessible, it's just rapping over synthesizers. Don't think too much about it, if you don't like it, it's just not your thing.

  36. D.... O....

    This album was a fucking experience

  37. d.... ....

    she shoot pussy through your chest, you die.

    d.... ....

    There was a,

  38. Y.... D....

    I think it's one of the best songs of the decade

  39. V.... H....

    I don't care what anyone says, this is the "Tom Sawyer" of our generation.

  40. i.... ....

    artificial noid

  41. o.... ....

  42. V.... L....

    this sounds like that episode of black mirror

  43. A.... B....

    i love death grips

  44. F.... A....

    You can see your own death with drugs?

  45. T.... O....

    Lol UK Grime seems so boring to Death Grips

  46. A.... ....

    I feel like John Carpenter would dig this ... sounds like some of his soundtrack work.

  47. V.... ....

    Mr.ride is Jesus' return

  48. U.... ....

    Wire - Being Sucked Again

  49. C.... L....

    Listening in 2018 and realizing this is one of their best songs. But I say that about any DG song on different days,

  50. V.... H....

    God Level

  51. P.... P....

    If death grips does any one thing the best its opening and closing tracks

  52. M.... E....

    Iconic.

  53. V.... ....

    Mr. Poopy pants

  54. J.... ....

    people that try to make sense of this song needs to go sit on a fence

  55. T.... ....

    The lyrics to this song are seriously on par with T.S Elliot's "The Wasteland"
    So dark, so sad, endlessly fascinating and all around utterly brilliant. My favorite line is probably "smeared mascara end of an era"

    T.... ....

    Burnett is one of my favorite writers. Him and Earl Sweatshirt are masters of organized chaos and cryptic but weirdly relatable and poignant lyrics. They both very underrated as writers.

    T.... ....

    TPreston pussy thru ur chest u die

  56. L.... _....

    the start sounds like a song from vsauce

    L.... _....

    where are your hands

  57. D.... R....

    This song makes me cry every time I listen to it.

  58. V.... D....

    big mood

  59. A.... M....

    this track slapped the brain out of my skull

  60. S.... C....

    This song is fun to play on the drums.

  61. J.... Q....

    I think this song is about a dude looking for the one who killed a highly coveted prostitute..the only woman he ever loved. To everyone else, it looked like she hung herself in the shower, but he knows better.

    So now he's fucked up on drugs, searching the city, interrogating EVERYONE trying to find out what all the local pimps know about her killer. And no one is giving him any answers.

    "There was an artificial death in the West East" - Artificial death in this case means a murder made to look like a suicide. West East is referring to California in East L.A.

    "Pyramids on deck shine" - All the pimps (Pyramids) in town. They shine, meaning they're talking about it to each other.

    "Wet hair on her neck breath" - Her hair is wet from the shower. Basically, he neck tells the story of how she died, and it's NOT that she killed herself.

    "G-O-D She shoot pussy through your chest, you die" - She was a God Tier whore, with pussy that would make you fall in love with her instantly.

    "Where you runnin now?" - He's trying to find the killer, and he suspects the killer's on the run.

    "No matter where I turn, shut down, shut down" - No one's giving him any information he can use to find her killer.

    "Watching me watching me watch them watch me" - This is just general drug-induced paranoia. He's starting the wonder if HE is the killer, and that everyone he's asking knows this and is just enjoying watching him lose his shit.

    The rest of the lyrics are just his delusions, fantasies, hallucinations, and memories all rolled into one living nightmare.

  62. H.... G....

    there was an artificial death SOUTH of the NORTHWEST border?

  63. S.... C....

    Possibly the most chill death grips song.

  64. T.... ....

    The "hidden shock in the West" mashup is probably my favourite mashup right now. Especially because it has deathgrips first of all, but also machine girl, a super obscure artist that i love to the moon and back.

    T.... ....

    wlfgrl is bretty gud

  65. M.... Y....

    this is like a new wave song in a weird way to me

  66. M.... Y....

    Wire Sample Being Sucked In Again

  67. K.... ....

    Fuck me MC Ride!!

  68. K.... ....

    Artificial death grips

  69. K.... ....

    This song raped me

  70. K.... ....

    I feel sexually penetrated

  71. K.... ....

    I'm offended

  72. A.... ....

    *_WHO YOU'RE RUNNING NOW!?_*

    A.... ....

    Where you*

    A.... ....

    embarrassing lol

  73. S.... F....

    3:18 FUCK IT

  74. S.... ....

    i've heard this song like 80 times but never figured out it was "where you runnin now" not "anyone in there"

  75. K.... k....

    g-o-d
    die

  76. C.... R....

    Artificial death in the west in my humble opinion means the shift in consciousness thats happened in the west, east. To kill the old way of thinking. To kill the ego that has to occur in order to transcend to the true self. And the collective true human self will have the peasants eating pigeons. Where you runnin' now when society breaks down and we'll all be sorted from the weak. Those frontin' their strength turn their heads in the presence of true sovereignty and strength. Are you ready now, for there will be no later.

    C.... R....

    Lay off the drugs

  77. K.... M....

    hot damn

  78. r.... t....

    The one death grips song that actually made me cry.

    r.... t....

    Same bro

    r.... t....

    what about on gp

    r.... t....

    FrailDog On GP def made me cry

    r.... t....

    On GP is an excellent song but I don't ever listen to it because it fucks my entire mood op.

    r.... t....

    Smashtime and I’m over here sobbing every time I listen to Lock Your Doors because of the immense anger that I feel when listening to it

  79. A.... E....

    Fucking masterpiece!

  80. M.... H....

    DONT TOUCH ME BITCH

  81. l.... ....

    what a fucking masterpiece

  82. N.... ....

    This might come off as weak af but
    The part at 0:56 ...
    It gives me a strange sense of being and belonging. It sounds astral
    Makes me feel like I have an actual future to look forward to haha

    N.... ....

    Yeah, I agree. This song is probably the calmest one on NLDW, and it feels like a nice break from all the screaming and pounding beats of the album (even though this song has a fair amount of screaming itself, haha.)

    N.... ....

    It's like your soul transending. Surreal shit

    N.... ....

    "this might come off as weak af"
    You're 100% correct

  83. T.... T....

    I am now a believer

    T.... T....

    You're a weirdo

    T.... T....

    I'm in disbelief

  84. l.... ....

    currently making an orchestral remix of this song

    l.... ....

    Just looked it up and listened to it and your other remixes. Awesome stuff.

  85. n.... ....

    (THERE WAS AN)

    artificial death in the west. EAST.

    n.... ....

    @ouchys All pyramids on deck, shine

  86. R.... T....

    Love how Government Plates and Trash are a total 180° of this song's meaning. Like, "Jk, the Internet is a fucking hellhole."

  88. C.... J....

    first time i heard this song i was with a girl named breeanna. I was madly in love

    felt creeped out by this song so i stopped listening to dg. not long after that she cheated on me and i went to a fascility for attempting suicide.

    C.... J....

    Chesus Jrist <3

    C.... J....

    She knew you weren't noided...

    C.... J....

    Damn should have just clenched.

    C.... J....

    Why you gotta drag DG in this?

  89. J.... F....

    What is this song about?

    J.... F....

    Seeing your own death, losing yourself in drugs and sex, being paranoid, very depressing stuff

    J.... F....

    @Vre83 You aren't noided bruh. But in all seriousness if you actually look for two seconds it isn't just screaming nonsense.

    J.... F....

    It's about shooting pussy through chest and killing people.

    J.... F....

    You have to read the lyrics in order for them to make sense

    J.... F....

    You will only understand the lyrics if you've been paranoid about death / the police, or depressed or damn near hit rock bottom before. Only the strong will understand death grips this is some powerful shit

  90. K.... F....

    No matter where I turn.

  91. a.... ....

    when I go camping I always play this song in my tent.

  92. p.... ....

    this song sounds like a ride in the bus, in the middle of the night, running and moving from state to state because you killed your grilfriend ,while choking her, while having sex... and also trippin shiny dark balls on ACID

    p.... ....

    palalajec noice, i just tipped the fbi

    p.... ....

    thanks man IOU

    p.... ....

    Lol. Underrated comment.

  93. s.... ....

    Ridiculously underrated DG song imho

  94. M.... T....

    This should have been the official theme to Westworld

  95. C.... S....

    2016 USA Presidential Elections - Main Theme

    C.... S....

    Fuck off with your trite political comment. DG is beyond that shit.

  96. A.... N....

    Love the synth

  97. A.... b....

    I think this song is about losing who you are through a craving for drugs and sex. Lines like "Accustomed to these satin glitches dripping from my caskets inners" which is about black heroin (satin glitches) dripping from a drug pipe (casket)

    and "last image I saw was splintered
    my reflection wasn't in it "
    is about him not recognizing himself. The title "artificial death" is basically him saying he died, but not phyisically.

    Fuuuck man

    A.... b....

    Thank you Carl

    A.... b....

    He also mentions "track marks on her peacock thighs," and "China white skies." Both heroin references. But I think Artificial Death in the West refers to all of western culture.

    A.... b....

    @Collin polen it's definitely satin

    A.... b....

    I think it’s more of an ego death thing

    A.... b....

    I think that it's more about the prevalence of the Internet & how it causes slow desensitisation, although there is also some stuff about sex.

  98. Y.... G....

    I honestly don't understand the meaning behind the words in this song and I haven't really taken the time to analyze them yet, but I have this strange feeling that these are some of the best lyrics Stefan has ever written.
    One thing I can say for sure is that the synths and the beat on this track are fucking incredible.

    Y.... G....

    Virile Lovers who just want to use you, drug addiction, people wasting their lives on technology. Various means of "Aritifical Death".

    Y.... G....

    Stranger than this it the fact that I'm listening to this while reading JoJo just now. Not part 4 though.

    Y.... G....

    Virile they are. at least for me, it's some of the most powerful poetry ever written. themes of identity dissolving, losing yourself to hedonism (ie sex/violence/drugs), extreme paranoia, and unbearable self hatred tied together by an overwhelming feeling of hopelessness and dread running throughout the lyrics/sound. death is talked about in a more grave, melancholic, and personal manner than they've ever covered it before. even up to now it feels even darker, more vulnerable and a lot more depressing than pretty much the rest of their discography (yes, including On GP). but everything is expressed so beautifully and it makes the song unbelievably heartwrenching. i connected with the subject matter more than i ever thought i could, which shows they truly did something special with it. im not a hedonistic or violent person obviously and i don't take any kind of substances, but the feelings in this song are expressed in such honest, powerful ways that i can't help but feel those things too while listening. just amazing

    Y.... G....

    Smart Monkey This group is truly magical. Feels weird using that word to describe such an abrasive band but the fact these 3 ever met at all let alone started writing is such a gift. This group couldn't be anywhere near the same level if ANY member was different. It's hard to believe a band could achieve such a perfectly unique sound but fitting sound for such a tortured lyrics and vocal.

    Y.... G....

    @Smart Monkey On GP I think is more depressing just because it's clear that it's about suicide, in this you need to go deeper into the lyrics to see the depressing themes
