Meshuggah - Rational Gaze Lyrics
Squint your eyes to see clearly. Blur reality to make
it real
Let focus go from your deceiving eyes to know what's
been concealed
We've all been blinded - Subjects to visual
A systematic denial of the crystalline
To see the fine grain, to read the hidden words
The context of parallel truth - Devoid of
fragmentation
Our light-induced image of truth - Filtered blank of
its substance
As our eyes won't adhere to intuitive lines
Everything examined, Separated, one thing at a time
disintegration. Dissolution
Eyes re-opened, Reasoning focalized, Receptors
activated
Perspectives distorted
The ladder beyond our grasp
The twin-headed serpent forever hidden
Where's the true knowledge
Where engines of the sane & insanity merge
The clarity. The unity
Reality untouchable, transparent, invisible
to our fixed, restricted fields of vision
Existence taken for granted. Absolute
Possessed, owned, controlled
By the common sense-infected rational gaze
Onward forever we walk among the ignorant
Never stray from the common lines

Meshuggah Rational Gaze Comments
I just don't like that vocalist
What is truly Scandinavian? Absolutely, *Nothing*
My first Djent
4:09 : pure fucking rage
Similar to the Jim Croce I was just listening to.
THE CONCEPT OF PARALLEL SHOE
One of my all time favorite metal songs. God damn this song is amazing.
I have been rationalgazed. And there is no way to ungaze it.
We've all been blinded subjected to this misinformation
8/13/1987
When limp bizkit ruled the world, meshuggah was busy laying the foundation of metal music 15 or so years into the future.

Lamb of god and meshuggah should make a album together
I just realized that their songs really resemble DOOM 2016's OST. Both have this heavy industrial tone, which I very much enjoy.
Well, it has been some time since I first to something that caught on my attention so much.
These guys are brutal as heck, and I love it-
The original version is better imo than this rerecorded version.
Dam the snares on point

YOU WANT SOME SHUGGAH?
Yes.

Meshuggah is one of the most important bands in metal 2.0 , don't @ me

I was just prepping salmon in my kitchen and it reminded me of this song
Mind boggling stuff !!!
Like the song but the solos kinda shit
Awesome rhythm, lyrics, sound... but who shit on the solo ?
can't handle a little dissonance?
The Trash Man Of course I can, but I found this just awful.
Gational Raze
IT'S THE TRUE, FILTERED GLYCOGEN SUBSTANCE
2:25 one of the hardest moments ever
This song makes me feel things that I can't fully explain with words.
Came here because os diCaprio, wasn’t disappointed!
Im just trying to figure out math listening to this
kinda my favorite ;) ahh how relaxing
i liKe jEwS
I am quite fond of juice.
I think this song is one of the things ailens like that humans made, cause these guys are alien like too lol lol
Tomas Haake is an upside-down drummer; Simplicity in the hands, complexity in the feet.
What the Haake did I djust listen to?
1:26 our light induced
Image of truth
Filtered blank of it's substance
Man, that's funny as hecc.
Tab= jug jug jujug jujug jugjugjug jug wee wee woooo
"HEADBANGING INTENSIFIES"
THE OLD VERSION WAS BETTER. FUCK THE REMASTERED VERSION!!!!! Give us those cymbals and riffs!
Came here because of nolan sikes
No one but no one can withstand the power of Meshuggah!
Remaster is much better if compared to original pressing.
noticed that the intro part has the same rhythmic pattern as the part at 2:25
Undo that you fucking idiots
Brian and jay are stat rapists coke pushers and cult trash.
03:08 my 10 years old self trying to play "Smells like teens spirit" by Nirvana with Djent at background.
No metronome required
QUAKE II?
A friend told me about this because i love Tool, does he ever sing or is it pure screaming? Cause if it's just screaming this i can't get behind.
steve piehl never sings just pure guttural violation of your ears and it’s the best
I'm the biggest Tool fan. And as a Tool fan, if u cant listen to this, ur a Poosie
Only just come across this band what have I been missing 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Same, lol
This is just... Brutal, even better than Slipknot, yes, yes I said it
That art looks like looking down in the camode while dropping a mcnasty. Oh i forgot. While tripping acid. Ok i corrected myself for you.
So ahead of their time when this came out , just sit and fuckin bounce to that high hat . Gotdamn
One of my favorite songs by them. I like juice.
it’s called polymetricism and meshuggah are uniquely famous for it
polymeter meaning literally more than one meter . so the drums play in 4/4 to establish a consistent beat and the guitars/bass play a repeating riff in a different meter (i think rational gaze is 15/16 off the top of my head but i’d have to check)
this has a few significant effects , let’s use a simpler polymeter to examine these in effects in closer detail . imagine i’m a guitarist and i’m playing a riff in 7/8 and to simplify it further imagine the “riff” is just meaning going up one fret per quarter note starting at the open string
so essentially my riff would be “0-1-2-3-4-5-6-0-1-2-3-4-5-6-0...” etc now that’s all well and good and if we had drums that were also playing in 7/8 the whoop de doo its a song in an unconventional meter who cares
but now look what happens when we superimpose a beat in 4/4 meter on top of it - standard 4/4 meter is composed of four beats with emphasis on the 1st & 3rd beats so “TAP-dun-tap-dun-TAP-dun-tap-dun...” etc . still with me on this ? good here’s the fun part
now let’s superimpose our 7/8 riff onto a 4/4 beat
TAP-dun-tap-dun
0-1-2-3-4-5-6-0
did you see it yet ? no ? okay well let’s look at the 7/8 riff again and this time i’ll put an exclamation point on each note if it fails on a strong beat in our 4/4 meter
0!-1-2-3-4!-5-6-0
now let’s extend it over x-amount of bars and watch what happens to the accents
0!-1-2-3-4!-5-6-0-1!-2-3-4-5!-6-0-1-2!-3-4-5-6!-0... etc
the riff hasn’t changed at all but since the 4/4 meter has such a dominating effect on our natural inclination toward standard rhythm the ACCENT on different elements of the riff changes as it loops over and over . this is what makes a lot of meshuggah riffs seem so “random” and “difficult to memorise” or whatever else
however we reach an impasse as after x-amount of bars in 4/4 meter the riff needs to “catch up” so that we can repeat the sequence all over again . this is done using a “buffer” motif to reset the whole cycle . taking our 7/8 example and extrapolating for a common factor with 4/4 the lowest common factor of both 7 AND 4 is 28 so at that point we will have our little “buffer” to complete the cycle (in our example this buffer will be four quarter notes long since 32 8th notes = four bars in 4/4)
every single meshuggah riff (save for a couple of very rare examples) follow this pattern and it is responsible for how seemingly inexplicably contagious and “easy to groove to” they seem to ‘somehow be’ while also being extremely complex
Very recently saw this live (a couple months ago) and I rejected my human form and danced like an ape in the mosh pit. This is metal to me :-)
"Receptors activated:", alien space wizardry ensues.
Destroy,erase,improve is thier best album!
Johnny Depp loves this song
If Bartók was alive he would listen to Meshuggah.
I like Jews
I'm addicted to Meshuggah's music
Listening to Meshuggah makes my DNA evolve.
i thought i was listening Doom at first xd
Like si llegaste aquí por el video de megafi
2 note riff that kicks major ass.
Listening to this on headphones makes it feel like your ear drums are literally drums being hit by drumsticks. Then you realize your body has been reduced to your heartbeat brought too close to your ears. Like some weird alien werewolf shit
if anyone wonders what meshuggah stands for well its in hebrew.. and it means *crazy*
Норм, жгите братаны.
YouTube:
“JuiceOfficial” like this song
Imagine being a music teacher, then you had a free day where you let the students cover their favorite songs, now the gist is one of the kids asked you "Mr/Mrs/ms, how about you cover a song" then when you say ok sure you pull up this song and you start going all out on the mic
“Why the fuck are you looking at me god damnit?!” “Oh believe me, it’s a very rational gaze.”
Is there a solo in that song ?
Metal Leonardo DiCaprio brought me here
Thanks, Pikachu.

Thank you. I couldn't unhear the John Cena fight me and I like juice comments. Smfh. Although pretty fukn funny.
Meshuggah is on some DMT shit.. Musical Prophets.
What the heck is this Leo thing!??? fck
Love this song but man does it borrow from Godflesh.
Who's here after that "wolf of Wall Street" meme? 😂😂😂😂😂
I never bothered to look at the lyrics and I'm fucking blown away....
It's 2019, are we still finishing our juice?
I’m chewing on foil right now
🤘🤘🤘
Djent level = over 9,000
Urgent/methodic, primal/mechanical, genius/instinct, potential/kinetic ascendant metal
This makes me want to eat children, except they're high in cholesterol and my doctors advises against it.
I'm not a fan of the drumming though
This is lovely
Why does this get me so hyped????
