Machine Head - Kaleidoscope Lyrics






We rise
We fall
And then we come together and
Despise this all
So get your middle fingers in the air
And sing
They can't ignore us anymore
It's up to us
So hear me out cause I don't give a fuck

I'm stuck
I'm heading off the deep end like a truck
No brakes
I grip the wheel and start to shake
I beat my chest to feel alive
Not part of the hive
Comatose America, the zombies are in charge
Watch out for your brothers man, it really isn't that hard
Have our souls turned cold?
The path I walk is only for the strong and the bold

I walk along a lonely road
It's all I know

This hole in my soul
Songs fill what religion won't
No hope, I can't cope
Music plays in kaleidoscope
And if I'm lost
I don't want to be found
Haunted by sound

Open up the floor and start a pit
This shit
Is building up inside of me
I can't pretend, that I won't fuckin' snap tonight
You'll find me nine feet in the grave
Before I'm a slave
Catatonic ignorance, the cronies run the show
Preying on our differences, divide and conquer the low
While I may be old
The world I see is only for the strong and the bold

I walk along a lonely road
It's all I know

This hole in my soul
Songs fill what religion won't
No hope, I can't cope
Music plays in kaleidoscope
And if I'm lost
I don't want to be found
Haunted by sound

Because we rise
We fall
And then we come together and despise
Them all
So get your middle fingers in the air
And bleed
They can't ignore us anymore cause
I don't give a fuck

We rise
We fall
And then we come together and despise
This all
So get your middle fingers in the air
And bleed
They can't ignore us anymore cause
I don't give a fuck

We rise
We fall
And then we come together and despise
This all
So get your middle fingers in the air
And bleed
They can't ignore us anymore cause
I don't give a fuck

This hole in my soul
Songs fill what religion won't
No hope, I can't cope
Music plays in kaleidoscope

This hole in my soul
Songs fill what religion won't
No hope, I can't cope
Music plays in kaleidoscope

This hole in my soul
Songs fill what religion won't
No hope, I can't cope
Music plays in kaleidoscope

No hope
I can't cope
Songs in kaleidoscope

This hole in my soul
Songs fill what religion won't
No hope, I can't cope
Music plays in kaleidoscope

And if I'm lost
I don't want to be found
Haunted by sound

Machine Head Kaleidoscope Comments
  1. R.... V....

    Me encanta todo lo de Machine head 🖤

  2. L.... G....

    So this is the same guy that wrote Davidian, Halo, Be Still And Know, Beautiful Mourning, ...


    Oh how the mighty fall.

  3. A.... D....

    So from what I can tell, Catharsis = not giving a fuck. Now 3 songs with that takeaway. Hope its been Cathartic to tell everyone that. Will still support the band for the total body of work. But agree with the feedback - there is way too much vocal on this album. You are such talented musicians... your fans crave that too.

  4. M.... F....

    Too bad, they nailed 4 great albums in a row after the shitty nu metal era and now they are falling back in the shit again

  5. a.... ....

    What yall bitching about. This song good

  6. r.... ....

    Ca pique les yeux et les oreilles ... mais la vraie question c'est pourquoi a t il pondu un morceau pareil ?

  7. t.... l....

    Killer song
    Killer album
    Haters gunna hate
    Fuck the haters

  8. R.... N....

    Most artists die before they have nothing worth painting anymore,,,,,this is over produced garbage!

  9. L.... C....

    Why didn't Robb just make this turd a solo album.

  10. D.... ....

    Everyone: You can't make a worse song than Kaleidoscope.
    Robb: Hold my die motherfucker die.

  11. R.... P....

    no matter what anyone says, i like this song, this record is just different, but not bad

    R.... P....

    agreed👍

  12. P.... E....

    That clapping intro gave me cancer.

  13. D.... ....

    Phil Demmel didn't have anything good to say about this album....

  14. C.... M....

    Why is there vocals for the entire song? lol. Not that you can't do that but wtf.

  15. T.... C....

    No es que sea mala, es que aburre!

  16. d.... ....

    This album should have been called "The Cheesening"

  17. j.... c....

    This hurts my brain bits

  18. T.... P....

    Everything is great except this fucking video

  19. S.... ....

    2:49 it's a cat as trophey 🚬

  20. H.... D....

    This is good for first time listeners

  21. L.... G....

    Wow awesome album!!!best from them!!!!

  22. G.... ....

    Does someone know if an instrumental version of this song exists?

  23. L.... N....

    I'm not a long time fan of MH but one think I - and primarily metal musicians should - know is: Never do lyrics just like this one and never use synth
    Never

  24. J.... Y....

    The chrous sounds a lot like"Bay of Pigs". This is an awesome song live no doubt!

  25. B.... H....

    "Merry go Round" music on steroids !

    Lawl !

  26. L.... Y....

    This was a Robb Flynn solo project with very little input from Phil and Dave. This production is disgusting. I’m a die hard core MH fan and have tattoos and everything but times have changed and it’s time to move on. Sad but true! Have fun being SJWs with Robb. The best parts of MH are gone. Phil Dave Adam I’m sorry that Robb Flynn turned out to be such a fucking idiot. What more can I say. This is bullshit have fun in Europe

  27. T.... ....

    1:36
    Dave: ohh the cringe

  28. A.... ....

    first time: naw, iiits goood


    third time: THIS HOLE IN MY SOUL
    SONGS FILL WHAT RELIGION WON´T

  29. L.... M....

    My problem with the songs from Catharsis is that they all have the same exact style and sound repetitive as hell. And there are so many riffs that were taken from past songs and slightly modified. Every song sounds like they were written in a day or two and they just rolled with whatever. MH has never been too technical with riffs but they've always had ones that were catchy and were implemented well. This sounds like a jumbled and confused mess even for the good quality. And the music video and lyrics are extremely "meh". Rob's lyrics scream mid-life crisis on most of the Catharsis songs. "Stick your middle finger in the air, fuck this life, live fast die Young" blah blah blah. This band has had so many ups and downs, I'm glad they are split up but I'll always be a fan

  30. C.... L....

    Rob's Songs Sucks! Machine Head is the worst 😠. Those Bands are so fat and ugly!

  31. L.... ....

    Machine Head perdeu o rumo literalmente

  32. J.... ....

    I can see this band riding around in their bus looking for highschoolers wearing MAGA hats to beat up

  33. L.... W....

    Yeah, it's awaking my inner 16 y.o. cheesy metalcore kid

  34. R.... N....

    This video contain "Mirror" "Offset" "Ultra Key" and a big size RAM. if you know what I mean haha

    R.... N....

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I was thinking almost the same thing, mate!

  35. S.... C....

    Phil Demmel you don’t have to explain anything. I feel ya bro

  36. c.... ....

    Want to hurt your eyes? Watch this video.

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

    And this is proof that Flynn has ALWAYS been a bandwagon jumping cunt.

  38. S.... C....

    Absolute DOG SHIT. They only ever did one good album anyway - Burn My Eyes - I bet Phil Anselmo is laughing his head off at this shite! 😂

  39. M.... G....

    the last MH album Ive heard was The Blackening and it was really amazing...but ..this ..is this really the same band?

  40. M.... 3....

    Well, they did great for ages but I guess Robb Flynn doesn't...2:45 These bands are stuck in their world for so long that they begin to loose it. They need outsiders to direct them but that never happens, I feel the same with many Bands, Korn, Nonpoint and many others. The artists treat it like any other song and don't understand that the energy and passion is needed. Robb sounded like he was just singing, it sounded like someone who doesn't really care or who is getting old.

  41. N.... E....

    At least we still have architects .

  42. M.... W....

    I like the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 colour scenes!

  43. D.... F....

    Windows movie maker 2006

  44. D.... ....

    Im.....out...of....breath........ Lol

  45. D.... T....

    great song haters be hating

  46. T.... w....

    Whenever I hear this bands name I always think about the beef they had with Bullet for my Valentine

    T.... w....

    What beef?

  47. d.... ....

    So you guys remember that album Supercharger?
    No. No one does

  48. R.... X....

    Cover band

  49. G.... C....

    this song has classic machine head groove, melody, and thrash, but it has more emotion. Buncha posers hating on it

  50. c.... a....

    The problem here as with many bands is they try too hard to be catchy and "up to date" which is useless since the band used to have a personality of his own,so why try to be something else?is just like metallica ...they tried to be u2 but is pointless.if you want to listen to something like that you can listen to u2.this case is close,they try to copy slipknot and add that crap they call "djent"..i mean..what's the point?where's that amazing personality the band had on "burn my eyes"??and im not expecting "bme part 2"there's no need for that either.slayer is a good example.they changed through time,but they kept doing their own style.

  51. J.... C....

    🗑🗑🗑🗑🗑🗑

  52. D.... R....

    I don't know why some people is saying that this song is shit. If you don't like it , just skip the video and shut up your ass, cocksuckers.

  53. E.... D....

    Bella merda

  54. a.... m....

    The most talented narcissist in the world. Fuck you Rob Flynn. Put your head back in your ass. You ignorant fuck.

  55. O.... G....

    sorry..so sorry..

  56. P.... 4....

    Rob got too fat and rich. end of story

  57. I.... A....

    Damn, this sucks soooo awfully that it is truly depressing. Please, Machine Head, stop composing music immediately if this is what new music from you will sound like.

  58. t.... m....

    That was God awful, no wonder half the band bailed after this turd!

  59. J.... A....

    Seems an álbum like this!! Machine Head should be retired!! 👎👎👎

  60. N.... ....

    This song's message is similar to Slanderous. I love hearing about outcasts who have often felt insecure with themselves that they take their frustrations out on one another! Songs like this encourage misfits and rejects to come together and stand strong against bigotry and phobia!

  61. T.... ....

    Dancing metal...well...no

  62. J.... 1....

    Goddamn what happened to these guys this shit is hard to listen to

  63. J.... S....

    Horrible

  64. Z.... N....

    Jesus Christ, no.

  65. S.... t....

    je ne comprends pas tout ces dislikes

  66. L.... i....

    Just read Adam duce's comment on their outfits being gay af. Yes they're not the best but his homophobia can fuck off. Glad he got kicked out. Not the worst track to be honest.

  67. C.... F....

    Lighter... darker... let's appreciate good and emotional songs.

  68. d.... ....

    Back to Nü metal again eh?!

  69. G.... ....

    Everything about this is actually shit. Machine Head officially died after 'The Blackening'. They should just hang up the hat if they're going to release this sort of half-baked shite.

  70. A.... M....

    Yine yedik bi şeyler

  71. B.... P....

    This is not Machine Head! Looks like linking park or some worst bulshit!

  72. S.... ....

    At the start, I was actually confused for a second if this was a children's song

  73. J.... J....

    Anyone know when they got Danny Trejo to play bass?

  74. C.... G....

    Hate me for this, but I like this song. I like it a lot.

  75. L.... M....

    This is cancer

  76. A.... ....

    Comment section: Boohoo why doesn't every album sound exactly like The Blackening. I need my blankie

  77. e.... m....

    I like the choris very much!

  78. J.... ....

    OOF, no no no no

  79. R.... C....

    2400 hijosdeputa no les gusta esto

  80. C.... M....

    ok, really, i sense some of the recent works. but no. sry, just no. btw HUGE FAN of SUPERCHARGER!!!!

  81. T.... R....

    I'll admit, I didn't like the singles at first, but after a few spins of the entire album, the songs have really grown on me. I still get most of the mixed or negative reaction towards the album.

  82. S.... F....

    Why so many haters?!!!

  83. J.... ....

    The verse riff sounds like a complete rip of Bloodbath's Bathe in Blood.

  84. E.... B....

    Unpopular opinion I like this

  85. R.... F....

    U suck lol

  86. J.... g....

    this is the worst Machine Head song I ve ever heard

  87. J.... A....

    This is most horrible Machine Head song I ve ever heard 👎👎👎👎👎

  88. O.... C....

    So this is what mainstream machinehead sounds like

  89. �.... �....

    Песня то классная, очень даже классная, но вот клип... Ну блять, ребят, это позор. Постарайтесь делать клипы как в Beyond the Pale, там классно было, а это херня какая-то

  90. T.... G....

    How is this even the same band that did the "Burn My Eyes" album?

  91. L.... ....

    on s en branle des vidéo !!! j ai toutes les cassettes. après c est la branlette 😂

  92. C.... H....

    I hate this song as much as the whole album

  93. S.... ....

    Screensaver from Windows 95

  94. S.... N....

    The Blood, the Sweat, the Beers 🖕 😜

  95. v.... ....

    God damn I never laughed so hard at a MH song since the ones from Supercharger and The Burning Red.

  96. A.... P....

    This new album actually reminds me of burn my eyes. Thanks Machine head for making proper heavy/thrash metal. So sick of the new CORE stuff. This should be Metal album of the year. And the production is the best Ive heard. Video is shit though, but who cares
