Meshuggah - Marrow Lyrics






Lasciviously they move
Two powers bound for unity
Like magnets, they align, under immunity
The product of their congress, their libidinous deed
Insatiable mouth of conflict and greed

Beware the soon to be born bringer of pain

One evil by another inseminated
Pure hatred conceived
The pairing of blood and power
A spawn of harm produced
Death and profit begotten, fused

A ghost-producing offspring. Immorality's embodiment
Spite and disgust incarnate. A progeny insane

Tar-black ejaculate
The seminal bile of conspiracy
The blood of those who died
Their innocence, their marrow

The pursuit of ruin. Murderous ambition
Bloodshed, the careless taking of lives
A conduct symbolic of its condition

Behold the newborn monstrosity
Descendant of avarice
Indifferent war machine in all its violent glory
A callous iron god born to reign

Tar-black ejaculate
The seminal bile of conspiracy
The blood of those who died
Their innocence, their marrow

Meshuggah Marrow Comments
  1. K.... ....

    I'll make a 72 hour loop with @4:40

  2. A.... B....

    I really need to get an 8 string lol
    Hell, maybe an m80m

  3. J.... S....

    perfectly structured chaos 3:25

  4. D.... ....

    1:42 is fucking insane

  5. N.... D....

    Why in the hell have they never performed this song live?

  6. m.... ....

    The beginning of this song sounds to me like it could be in a car commercial

  7. A.... M....

    Hello gentlemen. Was it me you were seeking?

  8. D.... ....

    Entertain murderous thought. Rancid wild dreams. Cadavers walking by your side, inapparent disease carved into your stride. Smile away, whimper off to work, decay subdued, suffering dispersed by technological wonders. Never will they see. Never will they wake. Let the poets burn and pigs on antibiotics will prosper. Successful not, hateful oh yes

  9. P.... N....

    What the fuck is that time - signature, my God?!?!?

  10. M.... M....

    meshuggeneh Schmucks

  11. 0.... ....

    Meshuggah is the grooviest metal band in existence. They are the direct evolution of Woodstock hippies who experienced a perpetually terrifying acid trip while aimlessly walking into a woodchipper.

    This is the result.

  12. D.... R....

    4:15. I've said this for years man, ol tommys got turrets man. Every now and then it'll show in his music were he just gets sick of the syncapated shit and just goes straight ham and rolls everything..........

  13. B.... T....

    That outro is so nasty <3

  14. M.... ....

    Have they ever performed this song live? Couldn't find anything on YT. If would be wierd if they didn't, this track is absolutelly killer

  15. M.... E....

    The drumming reminds me a lot of Jason Bowld's breakbeat-style drumming, but slower and goopier.

  16. B.... G....

    This is a awesome song. Very groovy baby yeah! :D

  17. A.... S....

    What's the time signature?

    A.... S....

    4/4. Meshuggah make the simple sound complex. You could of course try to count all the weird time signatures that the riffs end up being, but if you follow the underlying beat it is always in 4/4. They talk about it in interviews, you will never learn a meshuggah song properly if you try and count it all out. You have to feel it.

  18. H.... ....

    I love Meshuggah's solos, very jazzy

  19. c.... ....

    One of their best tracks. Tucked away in a slightly less good album

  20. d.... f....

    this song marrow as some wind to it

  21. �.... ....

    googled pics of marrow... quite heavy for a song about a vegitable

  22. J.... O....

    baddest song on the planet

  23. F.... J....

    Who ever dislikes any meshuggah videos needs a good ol slap to the face. The epitome of greatness lies within this band, in both talent and sound.

  24. H.... ....

    4:43 Like Pantera♥

  25. S.... B....

    Spellbinding

  26. c.... ....

    Holy fuck,that outro never ceases to amaze.

  27. F.... D....

    Fucking amazing

  28. F.... D....

    Fucking amazing

  29. 3.... x....

    Aye mate gimme meshuggah

  30. w.... t....

    Haak is a genious...but Thorndendal wrote most of the riffs! Also genious! Easy to spell MESHUGGAH....!!

  31. C.... D....

  32. �.... �....

    poor instruments

  33. c.... ....

    where tf did the korean girlos go?

  34. T.... S....

    This is ridiculously good

  35. A.... ....

    so simple riff getting so chaotic truely shuggah shuggah

  36. N.... ....

    Bring this song to your drum teacher, kids. He'll probably quit.

  37. S.... ....

    The fucking solo, rhythm, and drum parts are overall the hardest shit to play

  38. E.... A....

    How is this music possible?

    E.... A....

    well... its not

    E.... A....

    You entered the matrix

  39. S.... G....

    There is no fucking possible way this is 4/4. I take music theory. This is not 4/4.

    S.... G....

    Spiced Gamer Listen to the song and count in 4/4. You'll see it line up

  40. A.... B....

    Would that my cunt of a soon to be ex wife and I danced to this song at our abomination of a wedding.

  41. D.... Z....

    Some aggressive riffs here!

  42. A.... B....

    They had to write this song at the LHC.

  43. M.... K....

    T. Hakke is by far, the most incredible/ unique ever..... Keep it up guys. 15 yrs & still loving MESHUGGA.

  44. c.... ....

    where tf is the version of this with the south korean girls? :o

  45. A.... B....

    There's someone I'd like to shit on while Marrow is supplying the ambience.

    One of sickest outros ever! Like rhythmic dry heaves the next morning after a great party.

  48. D.... R....

    This just became my new favorite song. The next time I stop at a red-light, I'm going to blare this song on my speakers as loud as possible.

  49. -.... t....

    Why the hell isn't metal mainstream. People need to open their minds and listen.

    -.... t....

    -Beastlington the Bard- Probably because we don't wanna destroy our ears. Just my opinion. I don't like it.

    -.... t....

    Radio station that only play what they want you to listen too.. Brain washing to commercial acceptable music

    -.... t....

    for the exact same reason mainstream music is mainstream lol. it cannot be. the laws of nature make sure of it.

    -.... t....

    meshuggah is extremely mainstream

    -.... t....

    Cause they don't sing. Noone cares about playing instruments.

  50. m.... ....

    Every time I hear the outtro, I bust nut!

  51. D.... D....

    This is metal🙏🏻

  52. T.... ....

    only 200k views?! Whats wrong with people. Why dont they listen to the best music in the world?

  53. G.... ....

    If I'm correct, this is about Republicans and Democrats, no?

    G.... ....

    someone said either the antichrist or something to do with iraq and the oil because of tar black ejaculate

  54. T.... M....

    oh fuck yeah this is the best one on koloss.. I don't really like koloss but yup..

  55. L.... E....

    this is top 5 meshuggah selection for me.

  56. D.... I....

    Crazy good!

  57. S.... N....

    You can't spell Meshuggah without hug

    S.... N....

    You can't spell Λήσταρχος Νταβέλης without... umm...

    S.... N....

    Oh thats nice

    S.... N....

    fuck you that made me laugh

    S.... N....

    You can't spell meshugguh without ME!!!!! Jk

    S.... N....

    @Thales Kruger Games I need mah sugar

  58. L.... ....

    4:43 Cosmic god machine, devourer of worlds

  59. C.... S....

    Fucking heavy song !

  60. D.... D....

    I want to drink beer with these guys in heaven.

    D.... D....

    In hell * ❤

    D.... D....

    in valhalla*

    D.... D....

    Demention94 except if you actually read their lyrics, especially to this album, they condemn satan and how he will rule over worms. idk if your edginess can allow you to believe in that though

    D.... D....

    Oh come on, beer? It's heaven, where Jesus lives, so it'll be wine

    D.... D....

    Jesus is not a nazi dictator. You will drink whetever tf you want.

  61. R.... S....

    Godere.

  62. U.... ....

    The start always reminds me of Waveya (Ari) xD

  63. M.... M....

    These guys are just great. Like a lot of the endings of their songs, it's like they give you a multi measure lesson of their insanity

  64. A.... L....

    this song makes me dance hoo yeahhh!!!

  65. Z.... ....

    the drumming around 3:30 it sounds so random but at the same time it's in sync. idk it sounds awesome

    Z.... ....

    thats prog djent for ya

    Z.... ....

    experimental extreme metal will do

    Z.... ....

    That's because it's actually in-time. It's just following an unusual rhythm. That's basically what Meshuggah does.

  66. n.... ....

    why they dont play this song live?

    n.... ....

    +Clark Swanson I mean, just keep adding on strings to those guitars and you could play anything live.

    n.... ....

    They use pitch-shifters in the song. It would be annoying to use live probably

  67. p.... l....

    well, i have to say that this song is freaking amazing as usual. great work.

  68. v.... l....

    Bom d+ virei fã

  69. e.... c....

    that ending is killer.. sounds like the start of another song.. love the way it ends, as its getting sucked into a black hole

  70. -.... T....

    One of the band members said they play in 4/4. If they do that a real mindfuck because it doesn't sound like they usually play in a 4/4 time signature.

    -.... T....

    count it out. it's easy 1. 2. 3. 4. it's 4/4 for sure

    -.... T....

    it is maybe some 1234 123

    -.... T....

    It's 4/4. You can feel it as 9, 8, 9, 6. So in essence 32 beats, or 8 measures of 4. Hope that helps!

    -.... T....

    No you can count it at all times, in most of their songs actually, there is always a 4/4 hiding in there

    -.... T....

    @Noah Lemke yup, you are so right. It's all in ones head. Basically everything they play is 4/4, but everything they do comes in an unconventional way.

  71. b.... b....

    hail to this masterpiece!!👌💪✔💯

  72. -.... T....

    HAHA 0.25 speed makes everything sound horrible

    -.... T....

    +Harrison Crutcher Who would expect that, right?

    -.... T....

    +Harrison Crutcher at 1.5 some of the songs are fairly listenable

    -.... T....

    Harrison Crutcher solos sound amazing, though 😆

  73. D.... G....

    I can't believe I never noticed the band members' faces on the album art.

  74. X.... M....

    perfection

    X.... M....

    Xavier Meyer PERFECTION? NOBODY EVEN KNOWS WHAT TIME THIS IS IN. IT SURE AS HELL ISN'T 4/4. AT LEAST NOT IN THE ENTIRE SONG.

  75. M.... R....

    Hold on, I'm going to go fight a mountain..

    M.... R....

    Cory Smart He speaks of Everest.

    M.... R....

    @Demention94 C'mon. Who tells you these things?

    M.... R....

    I'm vegan!

    M.... R....

    yes malachi, i am new to this band and i completely understand what you are saying and it is easy to see why he makes those faces. His band makes him make that face. His band is almost perfect and he in the perfect spot.

    M.... R....

    Did you win?

  76. R.... K....

    Those 6 dislikers are the followers of Justin Bieber =)))

    R.... K....

    Make that 9 followers

  77. N.... D....

    Why are they not playing this one live baffles me....

    N.... D....

    +Nebojsa Durmanovic The guitar changes it's tuning in the middle of the riff, when vocals come in. So they would basicly need to change guitars live in fly to play this song.

    N.... D....

    Ah, shit. They could still do it if they use guitar stands for the 2nd set of guitars, just so they can humor me.
    Thanks for the reply, though.
    What are the tunings in the song btw?

    N.... D....

    It would be possible but you got to be fast doing that : D Or they could use capo on their guitars and take it off and put it back during riffs.

    N.... D....

    +Nebojsa Durmanovic Oh yes and their every song is in every 8 strings half step down, thickest string in F. But in this case they tune the eight string down another half step to E, since the riff doesnt need other strings.
    I found this out from guitar pro tab which can be found at ultimate-guitar site.

    N.... D....

    @Fiilis
    No waaay! Insane fuckers.

  80. M.... ....

    this is a mix of fucking testosterone, adrenaline, epicness, lyricism and awesome virtuosism. Hands down to the artists.

  81. M.... C....

    Wow this is it. Is real. What is happening. I love your creativity song lyrics.

  82. A.... ....

    The artwork looks very much like a time lapse of fractal geometry.

  83. A.... M....

    The tapping tho...

  84. k.... ....

    Extreme metal that makes you want to dance.

    k.... ....

    nah mate, search for jens CHINman and laugh yourself to tears

    k.... ....

    A very primal and menacing dance of chaos.

    k.... ....

    yes! Extreme metal that makes you want to dance... but am unable to coherently do so.

  85. E.... ....

    I cried metal tears because of the epicness of this song.

    E.... ....

    I cried blood.

    E.... ....

    I cried dilithium injector warp coil plazma

    E.... ....

    Tears of mercury

  86. D.... ....

    This riff!!!

  87. E.... H....

    This song should have had a video

  88. s.... ....

    Epic Tomas...
    pushing the limits of drumming to new heights...

  89. N.... T....

    dat solo

  90. s.... ....

    The outro man! the fucking goddamn superduper deluxe mega awesome outro!

  91. j.... ....

    Not one solo, but two! fuck yeah. I was totally caught off guard when I first heard this song I did not expect the second solo.

    j.... ....

    the second one was more like a guitar and drum duet lol

  92. X.... D....

    Can someone please explain to me how the outro is in 4/4

    X.... D....

    @Xavier Douglas-Smith all about that resolve. Haake's signature "kadaka" resolve that ties up the bar nicely into 4/4

    X.... D....

    +Xavier Douglas-Smith   polyrhythms

    X.... D....

    Xavier Douglas-Smith just listen to the cymbal

    X.... D....

    Xavier Douglas-Smith
    Simple...coumt 1,2,3,4 on hihats...its 4/4. Just doesn't sound it, but the riff is independent of time signature but following it - over time it's still 4/4. Just count!

    X.... D....

    You can write anything in anytime you want. The feel of that part is not 4/4 but it can, along with any piece of music, be written that way

  93. S.... ....

    ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ΓΑΜΩ ΤΗΝ ΜΠΑΝΑΓΙΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑ

  94. K.... ....

    Thomas Haake is a true genious. Literally all he goes like: Normal, offbeat, normal, offbeat, and its super hard to follow on drums no wonder i cant play it, lol

  95. A.... P....

    Tomas Haake is a fucking genius

    A.... P....

    @Eric Harper Well, you're kinda right. At least that's what I heard him (Fredrik) saying on Meshugga's "Making of Koloss". He used a drum machine, Haake reproduced it on his drumset. That's it.

    A.... P....

    Still to learn the program drums and play them accurate u still have to know what your doing dudes deffently a bad ass bleed has some sick drumming too

    A.... P....

    Stop Talking...For me it's the best altough some songs of the album after Chaosphere...have been written by some of Of another Genius Like Fredrick Thordendal or Jens Kidman...they have make me grown from i was 16teen,but no one likes the straingeitude of None Or C.Collapse...Thanx people,they are really too Genial for ninities...Now finally Most imitation of their Music...TOO indeed...have made Wake the Mainstrem ThinKin'...Thanx Thomas Haake...best drummer ever (for the insanity too)

    A.... P....

    Haake writes a vast majority of their songs apparently, and does so by chopping up their other songs and rearranging those chunks into shit that sounds impossibly hard and then they have to learn it.

    A.... P....

    Bebopopotamus such a brainy approach to songwriting, he writes the lyrics and even phrases them as well he's literally a genius, and he's so humble about it as well

  96. P.... M....

    ΔΩΣΕ ΠΟΝΟ ΚΑΙ ΠΟΥΤΣΑ, ΡΕ ΛΗΣΤΑΡΧΕ, ΓΑΜΩ ΤΑ ΥΠΟΥΡΓΕΙΑ ΜΟΥ. ΖΗΤΩ ΟΙ ΜΕΣΟΥΓΚΑ.

    P.... M....

    "ΜΕΣΟΥΓΚΑ" \m/

  97. S.... ....

    What time measure is this? Because IS FUCKING AWESOME!!!

    S.... ....

    @flerper derper no. It's 4/4

    S.... ....

    @MCAdrien9606 It may be in 4/4, but I think he's more asking how it's broken down. Technically anything can be in 4/4, and Meshuggah does have a tendency to write grooves that are felt in 4, but within the 4, the groove is subdivided into all sorts of madness. He's asking someone to explain the madness. Any thoughts?

    S.... ....

    I know, sorry. But when music is written that way, there is a shift in the measures and there is something that has to be taken back at the end of let's say 4 bars, so the subdivision is broken itself. Not always that way though. It just depends on when the band wants to cut the pattern but they could also let it sync back with the 1st beat of a 4/4 measure just like Tool did on lateralus with the 5/8 drums over 6/8 guitar that syncs every 6 bars.

    S.... ....

    hmm, haven't ever listened to the song that way before. Interesting

    S.... ....

    +SIrcam769 I don't like Meshuggah, and I'm all for diminishing their pride by labelling them a 4/4 scrub, but no, the guitars are most certainly not in 4/4. The drums maybe, but this band does a lot of polyrhythms, from what I understand.

  98. A.... F....

    Poor bassist

  99. A.... P....

    The poor drummer.

    A.... P....

    The drumming on this song is actually very easy it is just memorising that is the problem look up bleed that don't is so hard to plan when I played it my calf's were rock solid

    A.... P....

    xSBxBBBdx what about "The Demon's Name is Surveillance"

    A.... P....

    The poor drumkit.

    A.... P....

    Tomas Haake is not a human, he is a cyborg sent from the future. The mighty Dingusness prophecized his coming. He is a cyborg sent from the future to bring forth the Apocalypse but he got sidetracked and became a world-class drummer.

    A.... P....

    @Cory Smart If it's any consolation he does write a lot of their lyrics.
