IN FLAMES "BULLET RIDE" LYRICS
Do you feel anything at all?
Do you hear steps at the door?
Do you reckon the smell of...?
It's life - the dark that binds you
Frightened by your own smell
Bitterness will run you through
Silent screaming
Turning, twisting the alphabet
Frantic eyes
Awaiting the answer
Splinters of a poem
Fragments of what you used to be
Habitual and gullible
Run-down memoirs is all that's left
Do you wish to sleep?
Do you aim for the shadow?
Do you feel infected?
It's life - the dark that binds you
It's the cowardice that pulls you under
And takes you to the end, where it begins
Release, the world is waiting on your arrival
Close your eyes, as we witness another bullet ride
Do you know about atrocity?
Do you know that everybody's gone?
Do you know that you're on your own?
It's life - the dark that binds you

Luckily for you guys. Music isn’t about the fans 100% of the time. As an old head I absolutely love hearing how they’ve changed over the years, as we all do. If you’re afraid of change you’re sitting still. And that’s the cowardice that pulls you under.

[@upupupandaway]

I don't like these re-recordings, but I will always love the originals with all my heart. Not gonna say nasty things about the band, just gonna be happy they're still around and haven't dissappeared into obscurity like many others did. And their original work will always be there for us to come back to. In Flames we trust.

The man said it. He sure did. This one could have been insane with the "old" lyric style, the lyrical tonal feel cannot be replaced.

Honestly I don't think the band deserves negative comments for these as the performances are very good. I feel like the producer is really the one who dropped the ball on this project.

[@sinnick719]

This comment is an example of how to critisize something you don't like but without being stupid and throwing shit. First comment on the re-recording of Pinball Map is all hateful, and this is the other side, at least there's still some good fans out there. Long life to metal!

The Chaos is the beautiful thing on the original Clayman. Everything is loud on that Record.. do you know why? .... Because it was possible and they've done it! That was fun, never heard before and a fucking good thing! This Mix sound like it was optimized for Smartphones and Laptop Speakers. Technically good but to clean to transfer the energy of these Songs

[@JesterDyne]

@@DashieNegan41 Jesper foreseen this. Look at his face on the photo in the original booklet :D

[@leerobbo92]

Totally agree. The original was the perfect balance between grit and clarity. Every time those distorted guitars hit it felt impactful. This just feels so sterile, even down to the vocal delivery of the clean parts. Everything's too level, doesn't feel like there are any dynamics left. IMO the only thing the re-recordings have improved are the growled vocals, honestly.

How is it possible that i feel the original has better production than the re-recorded version

[@jdreid323]

I guess from someone who didn't hear the original before this, I can actually appreciate what they we're going for in this version since there are things I like about this one that aren't in the original and vice versa. I don't think it's objectively worse than the original I just think it comes down to preference. Although I don't know if I can say the same for Clayman.

[@szmarcell2929]

To respond to every person posting hate comments about this version: I'm 19 now, I discovered In Flames with the original Clayman album but also Battles. Yes, In Flames changed a lot over time, and yes the re-recorded Clayman tracks are a lot different from the original album. But I have one thing to say to people who prefer the first In Flames albums like Lunar Strain, The Jester Race or the original Clayman: listen to those albums and enjoy them! But I don't get the point of coming here to listen to this version if you don't like it and to post hate comments about it... Listen and do what you enjoy instead of what you don't... I personally love all In Flames albums, even Battles and I, The Mask which also got a lot of hate, and hate me if you want but those albums also helped me through hard times like all the others... Even though I prefer the original Clayman album, I also like this one and it doesn't deserve all this hate... It's another interpretation of the original album, that is musically closer to the recent albums then to the older ones... Hope some people will agree with me about this, or will understand what I meant to say in this comment. We need some positivity and to stay together in these times when everyone is kind of alone in his bubble... Stay safe and take care Jesterheads!

ive been scrolling for quite a bit thank you for the positive feedback on one of my favorite songs by them that everyone else cant seem to stop whining about

[@raphaelschroter939]

I think it's cool and tell you why: In flames always searched for new sounds, including unusual effects and synthetic sounds. Technology today is on a new level, so to me it makes sense, that they realize their vision with new options of new Technology. (I don't want to judge, if it has the same feeling, just point out, that the innovations of in flames got better technologies today than 20 years ago and now they use them) that's very cool, I think.

[@furry_baobab]

4:38 best part

[@gwarriorfromhell]

To everyone that is shitting on this re-recorded version: this isn't meant to replace or disregard the original. They are celebrating the 20 year mark of one of their best albums ever made. The style has changed and they have grown. This is just them paying respect to their own music by putting a new twist on it. Some people don't like the raw sound of the old In Flames, and want to hear their new sound. I listened to Clayman all through high school and hold that album close to my heart, and while this isn't better than the original, it's still the band doing their thing. If you don't like, fine. Don't discount the legacy the album has had over the past 2 decades purely because they did this.

[@weirdowilliams3723]

Love it. Bullet ride never gets old.

Sometimes I feel like in the case of in flames you can say that the band developed further over time and their fans did not. I love the old and new stuff. Especially in this case I find the re-recorded track as good as the old one, although it is different.

[@IconoclastUK]

The band developed alright. A love for mainstream money and riding the coat tails of Jesper during lockdown when they couldn't play their improved sound and songs for you at a live concert. I would argue that the original fan's developed a taste for melodeath and when In Flames turned their back on the genre they helped cement there were plenty of other bands keeping it real who appreciated the old In Flames fans. Of course, when Justin Bieber started losing fans that same thing happened and In Flames got his ex-fans.

A great song indeed! If the origin version never existed, I'd love it, but to my ears and personal taste, the original version is heads and shoulders above this one.

[@jdrakemusic]

When I was young, in flames is what got me into metal. Like really into it. Melodic death metal to be specific. Although I've liked their new stuff, it's just never felt the same. Now they are recording one of their best old albums to encorporate some of their new style but I'm really it just shows how much better they've gotten. Listening to this for the first time almost brought me to tears, and it isn't even close to my favorite song from them. I just experienced growing up all over again though. This was amazing.
