Skinny Puppy - Dead Lines Lyrics

I was a dark brooding teenager. Loved Skinny Puppy. Discovered mountain biking and triathlon. Became very focused. Finished two degrees. Worked really hard. SP never sounded good again. Three years ago I was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer, that has disfigured me and rendered me frail. Now Skinny Puppy, Melvins, Black Flag all sound so good again. Not suicidal, but plenty pissed off- just like ages 15-18.

How does one create music like this??

God how i love that song! Was the First ever SP song i heard. I was 12 or maybe 13 and bought a cheap sampler called "Funky Alternatives". Most music there didn't impress me much except for this track and "evil dust" by New Order (very rare track at that time!) but it really got me hooked on SP!

Ooh yes! Thats a good sampler I've been lucky enough to accidentally stumble upon at some point. Introduced me to my favorite KMFDM song!

@korqatt now i'm gonna look up the whole line-up! Sadly i haven't got the CD anymore!

I remember cruising to this in my 1985 buick lesabre.

right when I got into them I had a 86' Chevette

Tarnished away...
Tarnished...

Simple test, at best
Eyes, nothing less
Run for more
I can't decide

Love, in the grass
All is nothing less
Rather, you look me in the eye

Doe-faced, creeping in
Your caring thankless grin
Immobilize the selling sin
Create the mood that's dark and grim

Aortic, high arctic part
Mood altered, paradise is lost
Maskover, no one left in dark
Hide the trap
Caution
Deadline remark

Diotic
Mirrors your skin
I've known so long
Feels like the next of kin

Aortic, heart optic part
Deadline
Deadline remark

Jaded whip
Rosehip
A shallow kiss
Chauvinistic
Go look inside

Whilst in the back
A gold to lead
To resurrect
What's left to die

To resurrect, to resurrect
To resurrect, what's left to die

Aortic, high optic part
Mood altered, paradise lost
Maskover, no one left in dark
Hide the trap
Caution
Deadline remark

Aortic
Matches my grey skin
Known so long
Feels like the next of kin

Aortic, heart arctic part
Dead remains
Deadlines remark

Jaded pain
Breathes faint
Tarnish and elevate
Wipe the slate
Kiss goodbye

Overuse
Blank card rendezvous
Understand, bells mourn the tired

Punch through, and never wade away
Punch through... Punch in...

Aortic, high arctic part
Mood altered, your paradise is lost
Maskover, no one left dark
Hide the trap
Caution
Deadline remark

Aortic
Matches my grey skin
Known so long
Feels like next of kin

Aortic, heart optic part
Hides the trap, caution
Deadline
Deadline remark

Simple test, at best
Optic, nothing less
Run for more
I can't decide

Love, in the grass
All is nothing less
Rather, you look me in the eye

Your face, creeping in
Your curling thankless grin
Immobilize the selling sin
Create the mood of dark and grim

Aortic, high arctic part
Mood altered, paradise is lost
Maskover, no one left in dark
Past the trap
Caution
Deadline remark

Heart altered
I match your skin
Known so long
You're my next of kin

Departed
Your skin is soft as sin
Dessert
When I cut, I cut my...

Match my skin...
Match my skin...

Tiny amount of smoke

Ok looks out

Oh shit big flames

Oh shit its worse

Still smoke yes not as much

Theres two guys on roof ladder reaces to top wow

What were you on?

Yes i wanted magic bullets so

Its burning near building on top where elevator motor is

I readded it of course

My two pitchers together inside each other the handles like big machine gun i was dancing a minute then i just aimed it then one minute later poof

Holy shit my parasitie water aimed the pitcher at roof of court and immediatly national bank building roof on fire

Oh fuk ye \m/

Tarnished away...

This sounds great at a very high volume with a receiver and 2 x 12 inch speakers 🔊 👍, I was jamming

Frank Lopez I got two 15” klh I blast skinny puppy from. Also use my dads huge Carvin PA speakers and gigantic 20” cabinet subs when I get the chance. He needs to get a power amp for the subs though. They require waaay too much power

Nathan Explosion — Nathan Explosion listens to Skinny Puppy what an awesome thought.😁

industrial beats have some big reverb bass

Everybody DANCING into the darkness

this song I must say is about how the rich is taking over the world... it reminds me of that.. man.. if you think.. it's a RICH people's world now.. there going to take out the poor... no more.. but if we fight back ..as we should then that won't happen... well we fight or stay the same way.. and get slave around.. it's up to you.. people man.. no joke.. it's happening as we speak man.. look around you.. and thoughs fuckin robot s in the world.. now robots what... we don't need .. the robots we are not slave s.. to the robots..

It's a song.Some of the most rich people started with nothing.

I just love this part with the echos on his vocals, and all the fx.

definitely no rating, too underrated for that

My kind of STRIP CLUB Music. Not a vvhole lot of SP Music, but this is just perfect.

Totally! I was getting a private dance and I just wished I could listen to this song in my headphones rather than the club music and chatting the girl.

y'all creepy

I feel the same way about Who's laughing now
