Pain Of Salvation - Part Of The Machine: Inside Lyrics
I was told the pain and hunger was not my fault
How could they be so wrong?
And man, of all five billion people you're only one
Believed them for far too long!
Clean hands
I'm inside the big machine and it's eating me!
And I am just a wheel in motion, too blind to see
The way we are heading now
I'm hollow
I swallow, but....
Inside I'm strong
Inside I'm free
Inside I'm still me
"Since 1990 there have been 93 wars in 70 states all around the world, with 5.5 million people dead. 75% of these people were civilians, 1 million of them were children..."
(Guns don't kill - I don't kill. Do I?)
Drink with me, laugh with me, friends for tonight
Stay with me, sleep with me, happy tonight
I only feel lonely outside this bar
Look at me when I speak! Who do you think you are?
Just look at me now! Inside I'm lost...
Now I'm vain, numb this pain - why is it burning?
Clean as rain, not a stain - so why am I yearning?
I can't sleep - I twist and turn
In too deep - I sweat, I burn
I'm afraid that I'll awake, dressed up in a big mistake
Then I'd break!
What if I just closed my eyes?
(I'm not clean...)
What if I shut out the lies?
(...blood unseen...)
And what if I could hear my heart...
(...all over my hands!)
...accusing me for taking part
of the Machine

I heard this song in 99 and I'm still listening right now! Best lyrics ever!
One of the best album from POS.
This song need to be listen on the schools
What is a war criminal? Was not war itself a crime against God and
humanity, and, therefore, were not all those who sanctioned, engineered,
and conducted wars, war criminals? War criminals are not confined to the
Axis Powers alone.'
I was told the pain and hunger was not my fault
How could they be so wrong?
And man, of all five billion people you're only one
Believed them for far too long!
Clean hands
My land is my home
I'm inside the big machine and it's eating me!
And I am just a wheel in motion, too blind to see
The way we are heading now
I'm hollow
I swallow, but
Inside I'm strong
Inside I'm free
Inside I'm young
Inside I'm still me
Drink with me, laugh with me, friends for tonight
Stay with me, sleep with me, happy tonight

A very strong and amazing song!
20 years ago
Best song. It's strong
His voice is so powerful on this song.
fuckin
classic
I was a little kid when music this awesome was released and I didn't find out about it til my brain got bigger. Stupid humans. I should have been listening to this when I was 9-10 !
No you shouldn't have, i doubt you could have appreciated it like now x)
that might be correct!
Such an awesome song. I just released a cover on my channel! PoS rules!
The best music of PoS! *_*
I... was told... pain and hunger was not my fault...
how can i've been so wrong??...
Best song ever written on this little planet of ours.
absolutely !
+Dusan Krcmarik It's overstatement but awesome song.
Who's face is on the album cover?
that is your face :@
hmm. well you are right
GENESIS... :(
dude
they'wrote a song based in the fibonacci theory
... really? :P
O que??
Whoa, I like those bands too. Youre tripping me out.
Tool... Seriously???
Don't get me wrong, I fucking love tool, but they're not on the same level.
DT sure.
Opeth... barely prog, much more metal. Cool band no doubt, but I don't even consider them a prog metal giant.
Symphony X is very niche. They aren't even that progressive, it's more technical powermetal than prog by a mile.
PoS are awesome, but insignificant. At-least they're proper prog.
just would like to follow: Beyond Twilight, DGM, Pyramaze, Andromeda, Circus Maximus, Epysode, Spastic Ink, Pagan's Mind, Voyager, Myrath, Treshold, Haken...
Pagan's Mind
Wait, how are Opeth not original?
Not only were they very original in sound, but half of the melodic and progressive death metal bands around today almost rip off their sound, so they're clearly one of the most influential acts around.
Symphony X are the biggest prog/power metal band there is (and possibly ever will be), and are more consistent than DT, 'ryche and FW- but just haven't been around as long.
Pain of Salvation are/were very original, but that doesn't make them "big."
what the fuck ever ! Pain of salvation has the balls to be original ! I love Dream theater, Fates and the Queensryche but opeth and s x just dont come close.
Fates Warning
Opeth
Tool
Porcupine tree
Dream theater
True.
While I generally don't pay huge attention to the lyrics, I can certainly appreciate a band that can write good ones. PoS/Daniel did get a bit preachy for Scarsick, though.
Lyrics of pain of salvation are awesome compared to the other bands. I think everything counts. All bands named here are not from this planet, they're awesome.
There need not be a big 4. You'd have to go with either 3 or 5- the three main influences on the genre,
Dream Theater
Queensryche
Fates Warning,
and the two new major powerhouses,
Opeth
Symphony X.
As much as I adore Pain of Salvation, they're tiny in comparison.
fates warning
Dat specific sound...
pegado con este tema tooda la semana
that is true!
haha I have heard enough maiden to know that there aren't similar.
(sry for my bad english. I speak spanish)
? Go listen to some Maiden.
Big4:
Pain of Salvation
Dream Theater
Symphony X
Tool
in my opinion
Tool first
Sounds like somone like Iron Maiden.
Yeah but usually those are the same people that get offended if someone makes a parody video where James LaBrie fails an American Idol audition (there is such a video, I find it hilarious but still there were a lot of upset comments). Those stupid arrogant people can go **** themselves, most prog fans aren't that idiotic!
The Big Three:
Pain Of Salvation
Riverside
Dream Theater
and maybe Fates Warning, and I don't really consider porcupine tree prog metal.
Big 4:
Opeth
PoS/Between the Buried and Me
Porcupine Tree
Dream Theater
Tool, Karnivool, Chaos Divine
That would be mine also. (Y)
I tried to come up with my own Big Four...
Ended up with like a Big Fifteen, haha.
Edge of Sanity
they are all great if u dont like them then ur not a prog fan thats fact
Agree. One of the best.
Symphony X sucks... I could say Riverside.
What the fucking fuck is wrong with you?
Holy crap why have I not listened to this band before, this is fricking amazing!
AJ Hoffman never too late, man! Ive heard them when I was 19 and didnt get anything, along the years I could see how amazing they are!
Adagio instead Opeth
Wow. I didn't expect that. Protest are awesome, but their style has nothing to do with the rest.
Hahahaha. Yeah man, I said the same, then I saw a lot of people saying exactly the same.
What about Porcupine Tree?
psychotic waltz -mainstream prog.metal :)..and ofcourse Tool...!!!
Queensryche should replace Symphony X. Rest is perfect.
porcupine tree
maybe make it "The Big Five" since Porcupine Tree deserve a place among them. But generaly all prog bands are pure genious in one way or another...
i think any of the prog band is big
Into The Electric Castle is pretty good start. But if you wanna more serious and heavy material try The Human Equation.
Soul metal!!!
So I'm seeing a lot of love for Ayreon in these comments. Pandora has given me a song or two by them a few times when I put on my prog station, anyone wanna recommend an album?
@someoneforhim Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Fates Warning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PoS and Opeth shouldn't be on your list.
minute 4:00 + is the best part.
Never heard a song with so much feelings ! :)
and 2 DISLIKES ?
rebels :/
@someoneforhim maybe Protest the hero, but they are not alike any of the bands above, and personally i think the band Mastodon is one of the best ever, only my opinion, but the list you have your self i agree with Opeth PoS and DT :)
@someoneforhim Porcupine Tree comes to mind, but they are not always metal
Beatiful song, I have to say I´m still not able to enjoy the more recent albums as much as the first four, this era of the band is so rich and amazing. In a way it´s to me like the 70´s of Rush, best era.
@someoneforhim
Shadow Gallery!
Great album, but what a idiot cover damn !!!
@someoneforhim Yes. Substitute Opeth for Ark. Opeth could take 5th place.
@Alejop1995 Get them all. Even "Second Death os Pain of Salvation" and the EP "Linoleum".
@someoneforhim Oh and Myrath are really awesome, but I've only heard their first album
@someoneforhim Orphaned Land
Ayreon
Pagan's Mind
Adagio (first three albums, last one is a bit less prog and a bit more power)
Nevermore
3:55 <3 <3
Prog list... additions..
Transatlantic
The Flower Kings
Unitopia
@someoneforhim riverside,porcupine tree,spiral architect,acid death
@scudderb Opeth, in some cases may be Progressive,each one his opinion. but i prefer Rush, the band that invented this genre. Gretings from Mexico.
@scudderb Ok, Only i prefer the Rush, that is the best prog band of all time. And Opeth in my opinion isnt Progressive. But doesnt matter. each one his opinion Greetings from Mexico
@Pridery27 People try to define genres, then you'll get the "What a Fuck?" people bashing others bc *THEY KNOW* what the definitions are! That "Big 4" was meant to be CURRENTLY "Big" not an "of ALL TIME" list. I think a list with DT, PoS, Opeth and Sym X isn't too bad for a CURRENT list. I mean "What a Fuck?" (LOL!!) it's just an opinion (as he stated). I don't think @someoneforhim needs to "Study more about the history of progressive metal" as much as YOU need to move FORWARD.
@Pridery27 "Opeth is never progressive? NEVER? Uh boy...now who is speaking with too much restriction? This debate has been going on FOREVER: "What is Progressive Metal?" and as soon as someone would try to define someone else starts arguing sub-genres...Death, Technical Death, Progressive, Melodic, Power, Power Progressive, Math Metal, Progressive Fusion, etc. With Rush and QR I can see people making arguments that Rush isn't metal at all and that QR ain't too progressive any more!!
@someoneforhim And Ideas, Nevermore, Adagio and Shadow Gallery !!!!!
@someoneforhim What a Fuck ??? You Forget Queensryche and Rush, The precursors of this genre !!!! Opeth is Technical Death or Melodic Death but never Progressive. You must study more about the history of progressive metal. Is like a mencioned the big four power metal bands without helloween, or big heavy metal without judas priest, or big four death bands without death. Incredible comment !!!! And 7 likes ??? jajaja
@someoneforhim Threshould? And i like Shadow Gallery too, but your list is perfect!!!! Symphony X rules!!!!!!!!
@someoneforhim My choice of big four of Prog Metal could be
Dream Theater
Opeth
Riverside
Pain of Salvation or Threshold...not sure
@BrainCrasher Love Porcupine Tree, but they're more prog rock instead of metal
@someoneforhim add, Porcupine Tree and maybe Tool
@vieira2000 Pain of salvation is way better than all these bands!They play prog metal which is way better than power or neo classical metal...And you like their first 2 albums better maybe because they have some power elements while the next ones don't...which is why The Perfect Element,RL,Be are much better than the first ones!.....And I think the first 2 are good!!
@makistt07 ye you know me so well, you read three comments on youtube LOL
@makistt07 respect my ass, it's just my opinion, deal with it
@SSSavio u cant such a thing u know. just give some respect.all the bands u mentioned including pos have made metal so great
@someoneforhim Dream Theater, Queensryche and Fates Warning are the big 3 of prog metal.
If you were to include a fourth I'd say either SymX or Opeth.
@SSSavio Was that comment even necessary?
@SSSavio You can't fuckin' compare diferent styles... Angra is Power Metal, Nightwish is melodic/Goth Metal, Rhapsody is neo-classical Metal... PoS are really good in their 1st and 2nd album... today the band is just meh... for me, this song is their masterpiece...
Great Album to start with.. love it to this day !
@GoodGuitarSolos I just feel that it takes away from the instruments. He may be a great singer, I just feel that it isn't right for this band. but hey, I'm just some random dick on youtube.
@MetalliTheater25 i can include them if you want.
@SSSavio Thank god you didnt include Dream Theater
