Skinny Puppy Lyrics

    ------ About the song Assimilate performed by Skinny Puppy

I too have been listening to skinny puppy since the age of 12, not revealing my age now lol, but, to say that Skinny Puppy dont deliver on stage in IMO simply laughable. I have had the privilege of seeing them live many times and the first show left me literally standing in the front row, breathless, speechless and with a bloody nose for no reason. They always blow my mind. I grant you thats its hard to recreate the multitude of layers in each song so that a live audience can hear every nuance you get through headphones at home. But if your a true SP fan, they are going on in your head as the song is performed anyway. And what some may miss as far as that goes, is infinitely made up for with stage shows Gwar has wet dreams about. I feel badly for anyone that cant see the WHOLE picture put together in its perfection. The music and the show have ALWAYS gone hand and hand. Maybe you should look again, your missing out.

Richard Furhter, just had to dispute your claim that SP is the "worst band to see live", I fail to see how the stage shows for Cleanse Fold Manipulate, VIVIsect VI, Too Dark Park and Last Rights did not live up to the songs of their albums.. not only is Dwayne going wild live, but ogre is doing enough theatrics to make it a art performance, not just a concert. In my opinion you are completely wrong and they are often one of the few bands whose live shows actually expand the music and experience.

    ------ About the song Assimilate performed by Skinny Puppy

Really a super fun album to listen and enjoy. Read the lyrics, the stuff is amazing. Skinny Puppy however is about the worst band to see live, I have many times over from the 80s onward and they never could capture the complex and deep layering of the studio stuff into a stage performance.

    ------ About the song Rodent performed by Skinny Puppy

I got hemmed on a robbery charge... my wife grew mean. I threwher out. Losing a large part of myself. She went to get clean with a rich friend. I stayed and couldn't leave the state. We are travellers. We grew apart. She stayed with him for the money. I still am on bond. Wire not connected... we have lost our ties. Its all there. Weird. I doubt its about any of that. Thanks Gentlemen for all your years of art production.

    ------ About the song Worlock performed by Skinny Puppy

Think "A Clockwork Orange", here (which was sampled quite heavily on that album)... the lyrics speak of the attempted rehabilitation of murderers and criminals, which fails, in the end... the video is just a bunch of mashed up violent imagery, much like those shown to the character, Alex, in "A Clockwork Orange", during his 'rehabilitation' process.... Beautiful song, though... one of their best, hands down....

Whwn I was listening to the songs on The Gothic Box (3 cds), I came across Assimilate late on the third cd, and I will not forget my first impression of this song. 1 minute into the song, I pushed the restart button for the track. I can't believe i miss this song way back in 1985. It conjures images of Lovecraftian scenarios and the chaos generated by unwise decisions in modern science. It is definitely unique.

    ------ About the song 200 Years performed by Skinny Puppy

200 Years doesn't seem to get any props. I don't know why? This was the first song I ever heard of Skinny Puppy. I remember I was sixteen when my friend said "hey do you want to hear this new album it's really good." And she told me it was Industrial and when I heard 200 Years I fell in love! It always makes me think of a Nuclear Holocaust. Post world Apocolypse Song.

    ------ About the song Addiction performed by Skinny Puppy

The lyrics are so thought provoking. The best part is that he never writes lyrics to to show off his potential.By Using word associations and subliminal imaging, it comes out so perfect! The music takes its time to build up as well and the mood is set so expertly.

    ------ About the song Worlock performed by Skinny Puppy

I think it is about experimentation on "death chair criminals" and the crazy experiments they do in the name of Medical Science. I read about how they get them to sign over their rights to become "scientific data". You should come to YOUTUBE to see the video of "Worlock".
I love the sub basement buttons and -3 in the elevator. You know something awful is going on when you see that!

Likewise, I'm sure. Pink Floyd is an excellent comparison iidssm ( =) "Ambiantz" is a very nice comparison as well, they continue to set the standard, something that probably brings great despair to Goettel in his present torment, mGhmohs
