Job For A Cowboy - Encircled By Mirrors Lyrics






We socialize in the moonless pit
Of my own intelligence

I'm suspended in space
And encircled by mirrors

Through my reflection
Things are becoming clearer
Apparently teeth
Are beginning to germinate from the roots of my eyes

I find myself wincing
As they chew through my optic flesh

Layers of teeth
Dancing, waltzing
Their way out of my now punctured face [2x]

It's comical in retrospect
I used to enjoy this
Levitating notion of escape

It's opening the gates
To a newborn philosophy

My deep seeded dementia embraced

Layers of teeth
Dancing, waltzing
Their way out of my now punctured face [2x]

My deep seeded dementia embraced

[Solo]

Hallucinogenic contemplations
Have become my finest friend

It's opening the gates
To a newborn philosophy
My deep seeded dementia embraced [2x]

    Fuck yeah!

  2. J.... M....

    Lol ok... These guys are Definitely good musicians...I've heard 1 or 2 heavier songs i acually liked "im picky as FUUUUUCK."
    i likte the lyrics and msgs...again great playing on the band's part...lol but this here...IS SOME TRENDY CHEESY ASS SHIT."
    LOL seriously...

    Also
    Fuck an arpegio sweep ...

  3. S.... T....

    "It's comical in retrospect"
    "I used to enjoy this"
    "This levitating notion of escape"

  4. S.... J....

    One of my favs from *JFAC*

  5. J.... P....

    The first time i heard this song, that short riff and that little noodly run at 2:47 made me scream "FUUUCKKK DUDE" lmao its soooo good

  6. O.... R....

    Can't help it; its "deep seated", not "seeded".

  7. G.... ....

    Y'all dickheads complain about all metal sounding the same then complain when someone puts out something that's actually different.

  8. W.... T....

    I am also a Jfac fan, i dont mind the song.... but.. they could have done something like the ruination video and the tarnished gluttony video.

  9. s.... 9....

    This band hyped up big time. Love this album.

  10. G.... K....

    Nobody understands him because he screams in cursive.

  11. i.... f....

    escarificación ....

  12. N.... I....

    Job For A Cowboy can pull off high quality deathcore and years after, high quality death metal. This song and album is amazing

  13. V.... F....

    1:00 = White Job For A Chapel?

    V.... F....

    glasssOFOJ they are death metal now not deathcore

    V.... F....

    @The Legend Well my comment flew over your head.

    I'm saying the one part @ 1:00 sounds like White Chapel.

  14. D.... J....

    It is so funny to me how so many people think this band is Satanic. Look up what Satanism is all about and you'll all understand what's up. I only say that because I read so many comments on that shit. Any who... killer song!!!

  15. L.... L....

    Scott Rudd Film rules, man. So is Split Mask Media. 👍🎸🎸🎸🎸

  16. C.... D....

    man, i am just so terribly sorry that the bulk of "commentators" on this song are simpletons, haters, or just so self absorbed with their negativity that they believe their comments or opinions matter. your judgment of the body of work that these young men created borders on blaspheme. why a lyric video? honestly?!? at least you could've made a valid alternative. if i come off as ignorant then please enlighten me about satanism. but first i implore you to point out exactly which of these images are thus. the skull of a bg horn sheep? why that's found in native american motifs as well as miner heritage. or maybe it was the "Spirograph" shapes in the background. these artist want nothing more than to have even a very few people "get it". have a heart & a brain. oh, & the song is about self discovery & reflection, an often painful & ugly task for those of us who want to grow or change. admit to yourself who you REALLY are & maybe you'll stop airing such retoric about other human beings who simply want to entertain others.

  17. F.... F....

    666 likes! lol xD

  18. N.... P....

    Those Sweeps though, SOME NICE SHREDS in this song ;))

  19. G.... ....

    The lyrics seem bad but it works if they're about Suicide Headaches. The only "treatment" is eating magic mushrooms hence the "hallucinogenic" part. Suicide headaches make pain from your brain right through the back of you eye ball, just google it or something.

    G.... ....

    GrieferCian if you think their lyrics are bad , you need a lobotomy

  20. C.... D....

    Far & away the BEST COMMERCIAL I've ever seen for anything. Before I even realize it was a scientifically designed marketing ploy, I was sold! Plus the music is next level! JFAC & co. are really ON POINT these days. Grand slam release!

  21. B.... L....

    This album is great, but the lyrics are a trainwreck

  22. S.... ....

    very heavy and brutal death metal!

  23. J.... E....

    tan romanticos estos muchachos ! ...
    sigan volando pelucas ! YEAH !!

  24. M.... ....

    Just love this awesome song

  25. C.... S....

    Obviously this song is about drug addiction, right?

  26. m.... ....

    I'm a fan of JFAC, but really, the lyrics leave a lot to be desired. The song seems to be about a bunch of random shit and metaphors that aren't held together by any coherent structure. 

  27. A.... T....

    Dat mispronunciation.

    A.... T....

    Alex Turner
    I heard it once I saw the lyric

    A.... T....

    Alex Turner it's not mispronouncing, he over and under emphasizes certain vowel elements. It's interesting

  28. M.... ....

    Those vocals though....... 👎👎👎👎

  29. d.... ....

    Great song. Just don't understand why you do vocals you cannot perform live ( I have seen them recently )

  30. D.... ....

    I never liked them before, but I'm actually digging this album.  It's got some progressive elements without being too damn wankey.

    D.... ....

    Thumbs Up

    D.... ....

    Thumbs Up

  31. j.... d....

    can anyone answer this question for me? WHY ON EARTH DID MR. RICE LEAVE JOB FOR A COWBOY? Their best album to me is their 2005 release or "Doom" and the song "knee deep" is just, especially if I'm in my car, let hell loose, and I just floor it! that song is just the BALLS OF ALL BALS! SO, to the question at hand, can anyone tell me why he left? Please any scrap, of good information, aka, no "TROLL" ACTION NEEDED.

    j.... d....

    john doe rice never did drums for the doom ep. Eilliot Sellers drummed on that ep and John came back to the band.

  32. j.... ....

    I like this band, but my god their singer is fucking incomprehensible 

  33. V.... L....

    heavy shit

  34. H.... J....

    JFAC have REALLY surprised me with this album this year. Hats off to these boys, one of the best of the year. 

  35. V.... S....

    JFAC New sound is fucking sick \m/ 

  36. M.... R....

    He definitely doesn't say pit in the first line of lyrics.

  37. S.... C....

    Why not just a normal video or maybe a cartoon?Whats with this trend of lyric videos?  

  38. M.... H....

    Meh liked older shit better

  39. T.... M....

    First off, I love JFAC so don't assume i'm a troll. However, I really don't understand this band's obsession with satanic imagery when their lyrics have seemingly nothing to do with satanism (unless i'm missing something). Can someone explain this?

    T.... M....

    Noblefist403 you're a thinker and I appreciate you for it. when the revolution comes I'll buy the beers

    T.... M....

    SuperSneakySteve if you think this is "cheap" or took only "a few minutes" to make, I'd have to say, you're severely mistaken.

    T.... M....

    cowboy music

    T.... M....

    No Satanism here...ur just seeing those Satanic symbols because ur looking for them...just pure & straightforward D€ATHCOR€...that's all 🐏🐏

    T.... M....

    @Scotty Jones death metal

  40. b.... b....

    i have no like for this singer's style. band is good musically 

    b.... b....

    Yea, I'm glad they have stepped up their musicianship on this album, some of the songs are beautiful if you can say that about metal lol his lyrical pronunciation has always been shit.

  41. S.... B....

    seriously this band should change name.....notting to do with the 2 first albums.....i dont like this band anymore old jfc was better :P

    S.... B....

    their old shit is nowhere near as fucking good as this

    S.... B....

    Dude, fuck their old albums straight up the fucking ass.  This album fucking rips

    S.... B....

    Steevens B_Throwdown this comment made me laugh years later, you sir have zero ear for talent. TBH their first two albums were "starter metal", this is highly technical and progressive. Most of us have been fucking stoked to see bands we grew up with growing and maturing with our musical tastes

    S.... B....

    Doom was absolute shit. They dropped that deathcore bullshit sound and became great.

    S.... B....

    Steevens B_Throwdown that just proves you have shit taste

  42. S.... ....

    This is the only lyric video i have ever actually watched and enjoyed

  43. W.... V....

    When i first heard this i was expecting the old style and was disappointed. But now that im actually listening to it i think i chamged my mind. This song was pretty sweet

  44. R.... P....

    excellent!

  45. T.... ....

    SHUT UP YOU GUYS JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND!


    I don't either :(

  46. D.... L....

    sounds like they have been listening to allot gorod...

    D.... L....

    What? Is this what Gorod sounds like on A Perfect Absolution? I listen to all their music up to Transcendence, and I don't see the comparison. 

    D.... L....

    @Sahil Londhe I see now, Programmers of the Decline is my favorite from them, so I wasn't thinking of Neurotripsticks.

  47. C.... R....

    The basswork on this album is incredible

  48. a.... ....

    Lvcifyre - Svn Eater > Job for a cowboy - Sun Eater

    a.... ....

    @Sahil Londhe no they don't

    a.... ....

    I just looked this album up, and it's boring as fuck compared to this album, sorry.

  49. d.... ....

    I know it's screaming and all, but when you can't tell which words are which in a lyrics video, like, work on the pronunciation dude.

    d.... ....

    @Christian Sundt instead ov sounding brutal he just sounds like shit. even if he did care bout lyrics he'd still sound like shit.

    d.... ....

    Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude

    d.... ....

    @Mc Lovin seriously? when he said "seeded dementia embraced" I could not make out what he said at all. Still sounds great though. 

    d.... ....

    The highs are kind of weirdly pronounced. But it doesn't bother me.

    d.... ....

    Perhaps you've just not listened to enough of this type of music, I can understand this without a lyrics video for the most part, his highs are hard to work out by ear but you can definitely tell word from word with them in front of you.

    I must mention, I listen to Black Metal which is a good deal harder than this to make out.

  50. s.... ....

    Cool music, but the pronunciation of the lyrics feels like the singer has a speech impediment. 

  51. M.... P....

    Music side of it is pretty good. The vocals and lyrics......not so much.

  52. w.... ....

    This is the worst pronunciation I've ever heard out of a metal song

    w.... ....

    thinking the same thing. it bugs the shit out of me

    w.... ....

    @5rotflol Eh, he modifies the pronunciation to make the song sound better, what's wrong in that?

    w.... ....

    @hercludes personally it i don't like that he doesn't pronounce some words even remotely close to how they are. most other words he says are pretty clear so its just annoying to me. but hey its just my opinion. that doesn't mean you should stop liking them because of my nit picking 

    w.... ....

    You just have bad taste. It's okay to be ignorant about vocal stylings, but it does make your opinion someone invalid

  53. C.... 9....

    Subliminal dentist messages

  54. E.... H....

    Good stuff!

  55. B.... Z....

    Lol he must of been drunk as fuck writing these lyrics btw song definitely needs more cowbells

  56. m.... b....

    love the music and the tones..... no need for lyrics for me. just growl in different pitches and it sounds great, I just came for djent anyways

    m.... b....

    Not really djent... but ok.

    m.... b....

    ya who ever told u this is or ever was a djent band is wrong and you'd be doing yourself a favor and telling them they are stupid and to go away.

  57. D.... H....

    this songs a boring mess 

    D.... H....

    Your grammar is a mess xD

  58. S.... R....

    awww yea

  59. m.... ....

    The transformation is complete!

    m.... ....

    You're damn right... but they need another now. It's been 4 years.

    m.... ....

    @goddammitgary are they still active?

    m.... ....

    @bloozism no but the vocalist is in a band called serpent of gnosis and they are really good. I think another member of JFAC is in the band also

    m.... ....

    @Shaun Maxwell I don't know his name but the guitarist is in there as well.

  60. I.... S....

    First! Lml

  61. M.... M....

    Jonny wrote some amazing lyrics on Ruination...
