ION BRITTON - "Eat Metal" EP Lyrics

Post by ION BRITTON »

OK, after the succesful Heathen's Rage track deciphering, let's try to decipher another masterpiece of US metal. Any contribution is much appreciated. I'm starting with my favourite track, "Nite frite", lots of work needed here

Nite Frite

............
falling within yeah
i've got a feel for power
.............
.............


so stand up let it all go/(beware?)

no, nowhere to run
on with the hammer (saying?)
no, nowhere to hide
you've got to realize it is time to burn me away

don't want to go
just ??? in your metal nite frite
don't want to ???
just i'm gonna burn you away

still in a daydream
still in command here
i've got to wasting ???
.............
.............
interrogating minds here
i ??? your metal nite frite

so stand up let it all go/(beware?)

no, nowhere to run
on with the hammer (saying?)
no, nowhere to hide
you've got to realize it is time to burn me away

go!

out for....
reach out again
we'll stop the tables turning
you might burn your hands
there's no denying
......
.....

so stand up let it all go/(beware?)

no, nowhere to run
on with the hammer (saying?)
no, nowhere to hide
you've got to realize it is time to burn me away

don't want to go
just ??? in your metal nite frite
don't want to ???
just i'm gonna burn you away
Good against Evil, Evil sure to win

Ok here's my first attempt:

Self ?vation, believe within yeah,
I’ve got the feel for power, that’s how it all begins, hey

I need to run in the bright lights, the bloody fever yeah yeah
I’m moving in on your nite frite, so slam doors, let it out before...


No, nowhere to hide, open the handle say no, nowhere to hide
You’ve got to bring it out of yourself and burn it away

Don’t close the door, yeah I’ve been your mental nite frite
Don’t close your eyes, yes I’m gonna burn you away


Still in a daydream, still in command here
I…. in a bottle?, ...

I am the god of fire, interrogating minds here
I’ll be your mental nite frite, so stand up, let it out before,


No, nowhere to hide, open the handle say no, nowhere to hide
You’ve got to bring it out of yourself and burn it away


(solo)


return again
To stop the tables turning, you must burn your hands
There’s no denying, ... strange going on here

I’m moving in on your nite frite, so stand up, let it out before

No, nowhere to hide, open the handle say no, nowhere to hide
You’ve got to bring it out of yourself and burn it away

Don’t close the door, yeah I’ve been your mental nite frite
Don’t close your eyes, yes I’m gonna burn you away in the dark

Don’t close the door, yeah I’ve been your mental nite frite
Don’t close your eyes, yes I’m gonna take you away

---------------------------------------------

Some lines don't make sense I know, grammatically, but that's what I've made out so far, and the 'slam doors'/'stand up' thing is weird, but I simply cannot hear the 'stand up' the first time, though I do the others...
Are you the tyrant, who cast them to the sea?

Problem is he's singing very high most of the time and that makes it almost impossible to understand what he's saying...

A few lines from the title track

'Eat Metal'

.................
??? before their eyes
heavy metal ???
??? in your face
................
................
born to ... into my mind
this is where i stay

when the darkness falls tonight
and the lights go off
eat metal
there's no need to be afraid
coz all we want from you
eat metal

everlifting powers
.................
when you need ???
.................
.................
always gonna take it away
..... six strings ???
metal's here to stay

when the darkness falls tonight
and the lights go off
eat metal
there's no need to be afraid
when the bell will chime
eat metal

born to ??? metal
heavy metalhead
.................
always wakes the dead
burning with desire
.................
arent stopping for nothing and noone
are going straight ahead

so until we meet again
keep the words in mind
eat metal
so we never get enough
when the lights go off
eat metal

With all these I agree after listening to it again reading your version. With 'slam doors/stand up' I can't hear 'stand up' before the first chorus, but I do on the others, so that might be it. They probably changed a few words on each chorus as it happens for example on the last chorus where he's singing 'I'm gonna take you away' instead of 'burn you away'. I'm not very sure also on 'open the handle' line although it makes more sense than my version.

On 'let it out before' I think I am hearing two different words, one from the singer and one from the backing vocals of the rest -> 'go/before or beware?'

I spent a lot of time with these yesterday, I even imported the files to Audacity and slowed them down, I've listened to each for at least an hour so I am well and truly stuck with the omissions... :(

Eat Metal

….. ……. … . …. , split before my eyes
… … … vision … …
… … exposure… …waves …
Won’t you walk into my mind, this is where stay

When the darkness falls, tonight
And the lights go out
Eat Metal
There’s no need to be afraid
Cos I’ll be watching you
Eat Metal, Eat Metal

Ever-lifting powers … … …
… … … … … …, don’t you know … …
… … … … he’s gonna take it away
As long as I’ve got ? band metal’s here to stay

When the darkness falls, tonight
And the lights go out
Eat Metal
There’s no need to be afraid
When the belfry chimes
Eat Metal, Eat Metal

(solo)

(repeat chorus)

… … … … …, … … … …
….. ……. ………, …. …..always wakes the dead
… with desire, green lights bursting red
I ain’t stopping for nothing or no-one, I’m coming straight ahead

So until we meet again, keep one point in mind
Eat Metal
For we never get enough, when the lights go out
Eat Metal, Eat Metal

Sleep metal, drink metal, eat metal… I want you to eat metal.
Are you the tyrant, who cast them to the sea?
One day you'll be among the dead.

Illusionation

Feel the power of the metal screaming at you, yeah and reaching for your ears
Four souls roaring at you can you feel it, I do, got me dripping in the floor

An illusionation face a demonstration, ….. find your way out
Electric fire-streams will lift your heart-rate higher, than you’ve ever been before

Can you feel my fingers … from the fretboard, yeah I’m searching for your ?(core(co-ore?))
Six-string axe of … …. controlled by … , the electrocating force

Don’t give me …. . …. …. ….. ….. ….. ….. ….

(solo)

Flashing bolts of lightning sounds like flame igniting, gonna brighten up the sky
Flying up and up …. ….. ….. …. …., til your eardrums start to bleed

We are … those fire-eyes shall take you higher, than you’ve ever been before
Fly to reach the ultimate electronic climax, you’ve been coming back for more

Illusionation and a nation demonstration
Are you the tyrant, who cast them to the sea?
One day you'll be among the dead.

Mind Grind

Crawl, back to your holes, and never return again
You, must change their minds, it’s made up of stone

Pathfinder, …
Mind-grinder, spellbinder!

Don’t, sweat for today, there’s always tomorrow
Why, ……………, when detiny’s gonna go

Pathfinder…

Crawl, into your minds, and stand there and scream at me
? up your inside, take me away, away

? ?finder falls,
I, hold out my sword, and leave here today

Pathfinder, …

Crawl, into your minds, and stand there and scream at me
(Call)? up your inside, take me away, away

(solo)

Crawl, out of your holes, and never return again
You, must change their minds, it’s made up of stone

Pathfinder, …
Are you the tyrant, who cast them to the sea?
One day you'll be among the dead.

I find some of the lyrics very strange, looking at them now they don't strike me as so much so, but when sitting working on them for hours I felt like in the twilight zone at times, wondering what the hell that guy had been thinking. And it's so frustrating playing sections over and over and getting nothing but gibberish.

Yeah I guess that's true, I was listening yesterday to some verses over and over again and although I could hear a word or two missing from my version I couldn't come up with a complete line or verse which could actually make some sense. I was hoping you enlightened me on some points but now I realize that more or less we have deciphered the same things. His voice seems almost mutated at some points, listen for example to 'I ain’t stopping for nothing or no-one' part and you'll see what I mean.

The chorus of 'Mind Grinder' is probably the most fucked-up, the second word after 'pathfinder' is totally indecipherable. I will try again today.

I thought of the myspace option, but I suppose it would be much more rewarding deciphering the lyrics ourselves. Let us know if they send you anything though...

Eat Metal
….. ……. … . …. , split before my eyes
… … … vision … …
… … exposure… …waves …
Won’t you walk into my mind, this is where stay
how about

'scream before my eyes'
'heavy metal vision' and then something like '...in your face'?
beginning of third line 'burst in' and then 'sign of (manic?) ways' (not waves)
Ever-lifting powers … … …
… … … … … …, don’t you know … …
… … … … he’s gonna take it away
As long as I’ve got ? band metal’s here to stay
second line begins with 'when you need', pretty sure about that

third line '...faces, always gonna take it away'

and then 'as long as I ve got my six strings band metal's here to stay' see the words from my version

… … … … …, … … … …
….. ……. ………, …. …..always wakes the dead
… with desire, green lights bursting red
I ain’t stopping for nothing or no-one, I’m coming straight ahead
...last verse probably begins with 'born to'
...'burning with desire'
...before always I hear 'power'

OK, I combined our versions and came up with this

Eat Metal

….. ……. … . …. , scream before my eyes
Heavy metal vision, … in your face
Burst in … exposure, sign of (manic?) ways
Won’t you walk into my mind, this is where stay

When the darkness falls, tonight
And the lights go out
Eat Metal
There’s no need to be afraid
Cos I’ll be watching you
Eat Metal, Eat Metal

Ever-lifting powers … … …
When you need … , don’t you know … …
… … (ideas?) with many faces, always gonna take it away
As long as I’ve got my six strings band metal’s here to stay

When the darkness falls, tonight
And the lights go out
Eat Metal
There’s no need to be afraid
When the belfry chimes
Eat Metal, Eat Metal

(solo)

(repeat chorus)

Born to … metal, heavy (metalhead?)
….. ……too much the power, always wakes the dead
Burning with desire, green lights bursting red
I ain’t stopping for nothing or no-one, I’m coming straight ahead

So until we meet again, keep one point in mind
Eat Metal
For we never get enough, when the lights go out
Eat Metal, Eat Metal

Sleep metal, drink metal, eat metal… I want you to eat metal.

I think the verses of this track are the most difficult to decipher, let me know what you think with the version above. Kyr are you sure you can't add something?

Ok haha I had another listen, some of the things from your version I can hear, other not. RUNNING with desire, yeah that sounds right, also the 'born to' smt bit, and six-string band and something else, but I'm just going to write the things I thought could be possible today:

'Terror of the world turns, straight before my eyes
... ... public vision, simmering your face (first haha)
Dressed in self-exposure, psycho-phonic waves (second haha)'

'Ever-lifting powers cross the mental melting bowls (biggest haha, but I really can hear that! :)
And then '... ... without no-one, don't you know'.

I don't think I want to walk into his mind haha.
