SHAYNE: Song number 4 as it was called for over a year, invade is one of the oldest MW tunes. never officially released, Until now, it was in our set for a long time. A little slower and with a severe neck breaking verse this tune was a crowd favourite. It also added a little melody to MW. Trivia: this was actually the last song I wrote intended for Apolyom’s 2nd album. Quite funny considering we never released our 1st album, just to say how much music I was writing back then. I quite hesitant to give this tune to the MW guys to listen considering it wasn’t all thrash beats and blinding solos. Funnily enough the guys loved it, morbid mostly, which caught me by surprise. The rest is history, played live numerous times, demo’ed but never officially released.
MORBID: This one took me ages to write. I seem to struggle with slower paced songs. I think it's more the case of I have to find a vocal pattern rather than just going breakneck like with the speedier thrash songs. It's easier to write angry with faster stuff, too, cause it already sounds angry. And I seem to understand how to write angry.
BUT... I couldn't do that with this song. No screaming about how everything is fucked and I wanna kill everyone and blah blah blah. So I decided I'd write it about paranoia. One of those freaky, internet obsessed, tin foil hat wearing motherfuckers. The government is stealing his thoughts via satellites and all that crap.
So basically our dude goes a little insane and decides to kill himself so that they can't take his thoughts anymore. He goes so far off the rails he thinks that blowing his brains out is the only way to stop himself from being controlled. That is literally it when it comes to this song. Just going over the lyrics, I don't think there was even any cheeky reference insertion, either.
lyrics
Hollow and emtpy
What is this place
How did it come to be
Reality hides
My thoughts transparent
A mocked specimen of glass
For all to see through
Mind control
Depths of dementia
Obey insanity
Invade my head
Invade my head
Invade
It's at the point
Where I can't tell the difference
Between my memories and dreams
Shaking,
I've chewed my knuckles to the bone
In this dark room I cower
But still they see
Mind control
Depths of dementia
Obey insanity
Invade my head
My head!
Like a parasite
With a screw head drill
They entered my thoughts
And took what they want
Invasive stare
They won't look away
Only one thing to do
I must end it all
Rape my thoughts
Take my life
Depths of dementia
Rape my thoughts
Take my life
Gun up to the mouth
High speed lobotomy
They'll never take me alive
Take whats mine
The time has come
To forget all I know
Push it out of my head
With the rest of my brain
Rape my thoughts
Take my life
Depths of dementia
They rape my thoughts
I take my life
Take my thoughts
Rape my mind
You will never control me
I'd rather kill myself
Mind control
Depths of dementia
Obey insanity
Invade me
Mind control
I dwell in the depths of dementia
I must obey insanity
Seeing these guys live tomorrow. I have saw them twice already and they are amazing. Didn't know they had another album as I only owned their new disc. catwizard
