Lyrics:
New Millennium Cyanide Christ
I'm a carnal, organic anagram
Human flesh instead of written letters
I rearrange my pathetic tissue
I incise, I replace, I'm reformed
I eradicate the fake, pre-present me
Elevate me to a higher human form
The characters I am
Made into a word complete then I'll be the new norm
Self inflicted fractures
I replace my bones with bars
Aluminum bleeding oxide
The drug of Gods into my pounding veins
My receiving eyes exchanged with fuses
Blindness induced to prevent destruction
Ceramic blades implanted
Past my ribs to save me from the dues of inhalation
I tear my worldly useless skin
Staples to pin it over my ears
Non-receptive of ungodly sounds
I disable the audio generators of fear
Hexagonal bolts to fill my mouth
Sharpened to deplete
The creator of all violence
Without speech there will be no deceit
Baptized in vitriolic acid
A final touch, a smoothing of features
Completion of the greatest art
To cast the godly creatures
Humans, once astray, made divine
Stripped of congenital flaws
We're incandescent
Revelations in a world of darkened forms
Disciples, come join with me
To save a failed humanity
Follow the God of cyanide
Into the new eternity
Behold a sacrificial erase
A cleansing worshiping of pain
The new millennium Christ
Here to redeem all from lies, lies

The amazing thing about Meshuggah is that you can bang your head in whatever tempo you want, and it's bound to fit in with at least one of the time signatures somewhere.

[@marcosrgcm]

You made me laugh so hard

[@DanielVerberne]

Yaz Stone Good point. I'd love to have this song featured in a dance routine on "So You Think You Can Dance?". :)

[@KumarPushpesh]

snare could be a good sound to start :P

[@metadroid2124]

Yaz Stone this is in 4/4 time...adding poly rhythms doesn't change a songs time signature.

[@YazGuitarChannel]

This is NOT in 4/4 time. And also, there are different time signatures overlapping here. None of the various meters are in 4/4, except perhaps for short intervals. But, before this escalates, the primary purpose of the comment was for humour, not music theory. If you can't hear the joke properly, you probably can't hear the music properly either.

Still true in 2021. This song is timeless

[@darkySp]

I won't call them underground. They have millions of fans, they're very well-known and respected among metal fans, even if they don't like Meshuggah. Just because it's not mainstream, doesn't make it underground. I'd call something like DOROTHY underground, bands that really don't go on the radar that much. It's just that people who listen almost exclusively mainstream or don't listen to much music at all, tend to ignore metal as genre, along it's sub-genres and others.

I even started making music because of this song, i never got the chance to buy a guitar, but i had a shitty casio keyboard!! and made some random electronic songs with just a cheap ass midi cable and free software, hoping to be metal songs someday. I never thought I would have the chance to watch you guys live, and 15 years later you are here, just 100 feet away !! I screamed every song at the top of my lungs, i can barely talk right now. (I don't have much money, and I never go to concerts, probably this was going to be the only chance i had to watch you guys live! so thank you for coming to Chile last saturday and make my existence a little better!) :D

Something... LEGENDARY

[@Ali_0h]

Reading funny comments, hmm okay not bad not bad. This one is gold though 😂

[@jasonokane496]

This song makes me wanna frolick thru a field of flowers 🌸 😊

[@KarRuptAssassin]

I fucking love this music video.

[@SerpenTxxxLion]

You don't need millions of dollars to make a good videoclip. Only creativity.

[@Waltzhybrid92]

And a red pen.

[@genebrady]

Daniel Marino-Austin but only the type of red pen that can draw at random, at will... those are harder to come by.

[@Absolutely_puck_fakestine]

Do you really think it's a good videoclip? It was obviously a joke.

[@Waltzhybrid92]

It is both a joke a great videoclip.

[@Absolutely_puck_fakestine]

***** why?

[@SunbladeGER]

The drummer at the end killed me.

[@leonardoross8133]

It's so crazy to think that this sounds like modern prog metal, and this guys did it like 20 years before it became really popular, actually insane

[@sawyerbateman6068]

Seriously one of the best music videos ever, if not THE best ever. They're all so serious and yet they are just air-guitaring and air-drumming it on the bus. G.O.A.T.

[@mdntctyvlcn]

My thoughts exactly.

[@HappyJambi]

NBR: "Hey Meshuggah our budget for the new clip is only $5. "Meshuggah: "Not a problem."

[@blissboxx]

Those rhythms are addictive...

[@wizardmix]

When I first heard this, it was new, it changed everything I negative I ever thought about metal. I played them to all of my friends so they understood. I listen to just about anything and I love this as much now as I did when this came out.

[@dviper2093]

Still the greatest music video ever made, the intensity of the drummer gets me every time. XD

[@bguth12]

best music video of all time.

[@Gadredz60]

I like at the end when he's just headbanging and his glasses are flying to the top of his head and back down lol

[@DaRoachDoggJrr]

why is it stupid and impressive at the same time

[@sonofbelz]

It's incredible that this song came out in 1998.

[@allenreinhardt552]

It's about self improvement and confidence. "I eradicate the fake pre-present me Elevate me to a higher human form" - Self-improvement eradicates the 'me' that you don't want to be, elevating you to a higher human form. "Self inflicted fractures I replace my bones with bars Aluminum bleeding oxide The drug of gods into my pounding veins" - Self improvement is hard and hurts but it's also 'the drug of gods' - it makes you feel better in the end. Runners high, completing a piece of art, etc. "Non-receptive of ungodly sounds I disable the audio-generators of fear" - You stop listening to negativity from others, gain confidence in yourself. The New Millennium Cyanide Christ is yourself. It's self worship. Lavey's Satanism is all about taking control of your own destiny, so it's kind of a reference to that, I think.

[@jsil_]

Allen Reinhardt, it's about humanity losing its humanity, and becoming a machine that's incapable of feeling the bullshit prior to its synthetic ascension. 1. A body that doesn't decay or fall to the elements, 2. literally replacing organic material with resilient and dense material, and replacing the blood with a, also, synthetic and inorganic liquid, 3. Not having ears to hear the deceit of humankind's greed, is the key to proper ascension. No more worldly desires for gold or sex, as you're directly made of the earth's resources and are incapable of sexual intercourse, those two reasons being a large factor of human conflict, something that the New Millenium Cyanide Christ would not bother to bat an eye for anymore, not like pathetic humans would.

[@davealaya]

have you seen the humorous interpretations of the lyrics? they are hilarious

[@thebigplantation8257]

The song is about transhumanism, its a story of a guy giving up his body in exchange for machines to become more then a man. Being from 98, thats pretty wild.

[@ArmyOf2Films]

I thought it was about the 97 suicide cult

[@Amogus-bi6du]

By doing it, he seems to think he'll ascend to God-hood. It's both creepy in a sense and pretty fuckin metal.

[@michaeldeel1592]

When you are too busy touring to make a video, and still make a bad ass video.

[@lashlarue7924]

Holy sh*t this is my new favorite metal band, I can't believe it took me this long to discover them. They make Korn look like Mister Rogers!

[@DerHerrMitR]

This is, and will forever be, the greatest video to encapsulate everything I love about metal.

[@Phan211]

This song should be recognized along with the best opening lyrics ever. "Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with you again." "Screen door slams, Mary's dress waves, like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays" "I'm a carnal organic anagram, human flesh instead of written letters." Absolutely amazing.
