Demiurge (Live) Lyrics
Meshuggah
Lyrics
"Demiurge"
Writhing and embraced,
Retribution. Soul eclipse turns solid
Energized. Sucking vomit acting like it's honey
Deprived of I
Falling while thrusting squares through circles
Serving one single new dimension
Terror rising. Agnostics nemesis. A prophet of extinction
I scorch the skies before your very eyes
My deliverance - enslavement labelled: love
Just trust this nemesis to sign and seal extinction

The song was written by Meshuggah and produced by Jens Bogren. It features an intense mix of metal riffs, polyrhythmic drums, and chaotic lyrics. The song was praised for its technicality and complexity as it showcases the band's signature sound. Lyrically, the track speaks about a figure that creates their own reality and rules over it. This makes it one of the most interesting songs to come out of the progressive metal genre.
