Machine Head - Trephination Lyrics






I used to want to take a
drill to my head
Let the pain out of the hole
I used to want to cut the
veins in my neck
Cool the blood boiling my
soul
When I wondered, why my
daily headaches thundered
Tried to buffer, pushing
down the pain I suffered
Mutilated, feeling so
humiliated
Cannot wash the dirt off
underneath my skin

There was a part of me left
far behind
When at the age of five
years old
I had my innocence taken
from me
Emptiness would fill the
hole
Now a second grader,
thinking why I don't feel
better
Why I'm filthy, why the hell
I feel so guilty
When drawing stick men
of pornographic men and
women
Thinking all the time
there's something wrong
with me

Everyday for three years
from dawn 'til dusk a
migraine
would take me and break me
And it'd cripple me so
much that
In dreams, it'd seem, with
a hole in my temple
that I could probably make
my headaches finally go
away

Trephination
Trephination
The enemy inside of me
won't let me free
wants me to bleed

And after three years now
my headaches wear off
For reasons not quite to
me known
The acupuncture needles
sticking my skin
Pushed them down as far
as they'd go
But now I'm older and now
inside my anger smolders
from depression, to fighting
Taking out my vengeance
Consequences, now I'd
question during sex if ...
Is this how it fucking feels
or am I faking it ?

No longer the child that
you left there at the bart
tracks
I'm now at 17, left in an
empty blackness
On drugs, with thugs, and
thinking "Goddamn ?"
I'm ending up in a failure,
in the gutter passed out

Trephination
Trephination
This enemy inside of me
won't let me free
wants me to bleed

Now I'm older and in this
man an anger smolders
Now I'm thinking a hole in
you is what I'm seeing
Your depression, is the
dent I kick in you in
vengeance
Consequences are the pain
I'd give to you

I know that I'm dreaming,
but in this dream I go in
go through it, and end it
And though I'd never do it
I'm killing you, hand on
the trigger - pull it
Your final thought'll be a
bullet in your fuckin' head

Trephination
Trephination
This enemy inside of me
I'm now killing
to make me free.

  1. P.... S....

    I absolutely hate the fact that I can relate to this song.

  2. Y.... N....

    Heal brother..fight brother....teach warrior. This battlefield is with in..Dont you let this happen to anyone else.

  3. I.... P....

    HELP! The lyrics is not completed - the whole verse is missing from 2-55 to 3-30. It's something like:
    "There was a time when it’d so clear but I left within
    (forgive me… no change…)
    There was a time when you hear me and touch me
    (me…)
    And now I feel myself and I want my skin to tear off!"

    Please, who can check this verse? MH-fans from US, UK - help me with it!

  4. i.... ....

    Those are lyrics are pure hate!!

  5. g.... ....

    Nu metal in its best way is not shitty. This kind of album shows that, even if it is MH.

  6. I.... ....

    the best fucking mh album, one of the best on the album.

  7. a.... ....

    Fuck everything.. Fuck everything.. Except metal. Metal will live forever as long as I can play it

    a.... ....

    Metal will never let u down, and may save ur life someday.....

  8. T.... ....

    Superb song from an underrated album. People say The Burning Red and Supercharger had too much 'rap' something like 90 seconds of 50 minutes on each record. Not much in my book. plus the fact the 'rapped' vocals suit the songs and improve them IMO.

    T.... ....

    +TrephineArtist
    whats your opinion of "colors"?

    T.... ....

    its not the rap its the mainstream influence on the albums which is undeniable. This is not groove metal this is Nu metal

    T.... ....

    Some 'fans' sometimes forget that Robb 'rapped' way before this era. The BR and Supercharger era suited the times. Machine Head constantly and consistently evolves.

    T.... ....

    Groove Nu metal.

    T.... ....

    Nothing wrong with that Numetal hiphop infusion. Really like that actually.

  9. m.... t....

    blackening was far from boring. maybe a little bit prolonged, maybe a little bit slow, but far from boring. but im surprised you like this record, most people don't like this one. i think its pure genius.

  10. G.... ....

    Machine Fucking Head \,,/

  11. S.... ....

    It's Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast. Don't try and act like a machine head elitist when you can't get a simple well known lyric right.

  12. P.... D....

    The most meaningful song out of Supercharger, definitely! Not telling the other ones were meaningless though.

  13. H.... Y....

    i Like all M.H. Albums for diferent reasons

  14. M.... W....

    Like this album very much!

  15. m.... ....

    i dont care what anyone says every machine head has good and bad on them all of them this was more nu metal rapcore and they did it better then alot of bands at the time.

  16. D.... ....

    The blackening and every album after it sucked... period. Supercharger was the last machine head album i bought and it was the last time i saw them on tour. They're shit and have changed so much since thier orignal albums. Having said that i know a lot of MH fans who didnt listen to Supercharger or any album after it. Are you guys 16 or something? Have you even heard thier original albums? Check em out. LET FREEDOM RIEGN WITH A SHOTGUN BLASSSTTTTT!!!

  17. B.... S....

    Why do people say this is a bad album, I LOVE IT!

    B.... S....

    biskid, korn, sod sounds ...maybe

  18. S.... D....

    @SSj4Gonzas Yep all their music is AWESOME!

  19. T.... B....

    @xxxGandhixxx Blah blah blahhhhh. Talking out of your ass.

  20. 2.... ....

    @666Meshuggah fucking right! don't worry it's just ignorance dude. these fuck holes on youtube obviously don't know groundbreaking shit when they hear it. 20yrs. from now bands will be covering tunes off the blackening album like bands these days cover shit off reign in blood and master of puppets. it's that fucking simple.....

  21. A.... D....

    Whoever says the blackening is boring should be shot

  22. J.... D....

    @Rofrest There are some tracks off The Burning Red and Supercharger that I absolutely love, but as a whole both those albums never really stood out for me. Nowhere near as bad as some people try to make out though.

  23. a.... o....

    this is good record...better then boring blackening

  24. 4.... ....

    Supercharger is a abomination to metal, Good thing they came back with the blackening, I was losing faith in MH
