Cattle Decapitation - Dead Set On Suicide Lyrics






Irrational, illogical and preposterously ludicrous
Denatured, deprogrammed to blindly
go against what we are
Human ideas turned concrete, material
Our funeral drape now hewn from
the fabrics of imagination

Turning the other check - this never worked withing the wild
You'd be a meal in seconds - cycle of life/natural law
Now see this Jesus Christ, a thorn in the side of right
No fight or flight? Anything else is simply suicidal

No love for enemies, I see their eyes -
waiting there in the shadows
Extended hands will only be severed -
you've condemned yourself to the gallows

Jesus Christ is suicide.

Sighting the blind, sheltering the poor
Blood into wine, but all is fair in blood and gore

Sensational, unanimous, we need a hero
Unguided, this chaos that makes humans what they are
How neutered, how secure, new drones to shovel the manure
Keep the masses sedated, validating their
tendencies for hatred

Jesus Christ is suicide.

Alas, so sweet are the sentiments
Aghast I stand in your ignorance... unclean

he must hate every one of us
He would enslave every one of us... forever...

No love for enemies, I see their eyes -
waiting there in the night
Extended hands will only be severed -
now you realize Christ is death.

    E.... ....

    xXLerøy NajatahnXx neck yourself

    E.... ....

    I think it's much more complex than that. I think it's about how compassion in this world never works (contrary to what Jesus preached) because our primordial violent tendencies always prevail over logic.

    E.... ....

    @Leroy Najatahn at least the song is real and exists

    E.... ....

    @Ryan Walsh Ooookaaayy then....
    Some people (like Travis Ryan for instance) can't help but be offended by the story of a guy who helped a lot of people with both his words and actions, healed a lot of people, defied his local religious leaders (yes you read that correctly; I said "defied his local religious leaders"), and was ultimately executed for the sake of keeping the people from trying to overthrow the government. There's a lot more to the story of Jesus than just a bunch of religious stuff. Poor little butthurt atheists are too busy being butthurt at Christians to think about being mad at actual Christians, and instead say shit like "fuck your God" this and "useless fairytale" that. (I believe I'm actually quoting Travis on that second one). It's about as cliche as a Christian saying "would you like to talk about our lord and savior Jesus Christ". Frankly it gets old and annoying real fast. If someone wants to write some anti-religious stuff, then they should write something that speaks of the religion itself, as it currently stands. Something about the way some Christians still think metal is "the devil's music", and how it's all personal opinion. You know, write something that's actually relevant to modern life? But no, they have to specifically attack the biblical characters whom they don't actually believe in to begin with. It's so stupid, I die a little inside every time I read a lyric that sounds that uninspired.
    Also, the Bible is historical. The books it's compiled of are very old. The Bible contains songs and poems, letters, ancient customary rules (some decent, some not so much), and some historical accounts taken by people who lived during that time. Saying that Jesus didn't exist is like saying that Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle didn't exist. These philosophers were dead long before Jesus was ever born, but apparently there's no doubt that they existed. A valid point would be "well we don't know for 100% sure that Jesus was the 'son of God'". That I'd understand, but denying the fact that he lived at all just feels drastic.
    I could say more, but I think the reply is already long-winded enough.

    E.... ....

    @Evan R I think it's partly that (though I don't think it's saying that you *can't* live that way, just that it's suicidal to do so) but there are also a couple secondary points made.

    >How neutered, how secure, new drones to shovel the manure. Keep the masses sedated, validating their tendencies for hatred.
    These lines are fairly obviously a statement on how those in power have used Christianity to keep their followers subservient and hating who they need them to. "Opiate of the masses" and all that.

    >he must hate every one of us. He would enslave every one of us... forever...
    This line is either reinforcing that last point or bringing up the problem of evil.

    There are also lines calling religion illogical and ignorant throughout, and the mention of being "unclean" is possibly a reference to those othered by the church.

    Overall it's a pretty standard Nietzsche style "Christianity is slave morality" take with some modern moral outrage at the church sprinkled in, which is a perfectly fitting message for a song that goes this fucking hard.

  40. n.... ....

    Best grind-whatever you want to put here song ever!

  41. R.... E....

    I paused my porn for this but I did not stop masturbating

    Cattle DecapitatiON - Dead Set (on) Suicide =  nice sONg

  43. D.... B....

    I feel like the audio at 0:59 - 1:05 is from a short film called Begotten. Not sure though

    D.... B....

    @killerbl4ckman If you watch the in studio footage of when they made this album, the scene where he records that is in there somewhere :)

    D.... B....

    @killerbl4ckman Where did the choking sound on “Dead Set On Suicide” come from?That’s a sample of a dude being hung. You definitely need to read the lyrics to understand that, decipher what’s going on.  It’s an actual hanging?              Yes, I put that together through a few different means I’ll keep to myself.         http://www.invisibleoranges.com/2012/05/interview-travis-ryan-of-cattle-decapitation/

    D.... B....

    pretty sure begotten is a silent film

    D.... B....

    Begotten isn't short. It's tedious and boring.

  44. L.... F....

    I saw all of these positive comments and was like: no way this song is that good. This is a masterpiece, you just don't even know. Holy fuck I was smiling so hard I probably looked like a goof. Just sitting outside high as fuck listening to this smiling like an idiot...fml.

    L.... F....

    @Luke Fortune true

  45. D.... S....

    JESUS CHRIST IS SUICIDE!! \m/

  46. S.... M....

    Music for a happy spirit.

  52. J.... M....

    Holly shit

  53. M.... ....

    2:38 Those vocals are so fucking good, sounds like something out of a horror movie or something, ahah! Travis is a beast, as well as the entire band.

    M.... ....

    You should check out Infant Annihilator

    M.... ....

    @Hassan Saeed Ahah, I love Infant Annihilator, their new album is probably gonna be my album of the year

    M.... ....

    @Metal555Fan Hahahaa lmao that album which name I can't even pronounce. That goes hard!

    M.... ....

    i fucking love when travis does that

  54. D.... G....

    God DAMN! That riff at 2:40 just makes me lose my mind.

    holy fucking shit this is insane

  62. m.... m....

    My ears are bleeding in a good way :)

    m.... m....

    that's called getting skull fucked by death metal.

    m.... m....

    @Hiram Avila It is Grindcore

    m.... m....

    +Daniel Saldanha
    death grind*

    m.... m....

    @T-rat Deathgrind / Progressive Death Metal

    m.... m....

    +Daniel Saldanha
    if your going to go there then

    progressive blackened melodic vegetarian deathgrind.

  63. P.... M....

    This song is berserker as fuck! I love it! It's not the most lyrically brutal song on the album. But it is definitely the most brutal song on the album in terms of raw power of voice and instrumentals.

    P.... M....

    They go all out on this one

  64. D.... ....

    Travis Ryan's high vocals are fucking amazing!

    D.... ....

    @Stephanie Prince What are you trying to gain going completely out of your way just to say something like this then? Seems like I upset you a little too much on that last video.

    D.... ....

    lol grow up lil death metal boy I was just rying to get you to respect someone elses style. Hey I like Pantara , Slipknot and a good friend of mine played in Sepultura n I also live Fleetwood Mac n I love SPM n Conejo n Psycho Realm n Berlin n Trans X n now SAD BOY. Just dont  b so quick to dis a mf"r.

    D.... ....

    @Stephanie Prince I am grown up. I just didn't like the song. Gang shit is stupid. That's my opinion though. People should respect each other's opinions. If you don't like death metal, fine. It doesn't effect me. You see what I'm saying? That's why I don't see why people get mad over something as simple as "This sucks." I understand what you're saying though. Oh that's awesome. ;p

    D.... ....

    +Stephanie Prince so you're trying to get him to respect someone else's style by calling it retarded? Hmm well you're pretty retarded.

    D.... ....

    Paffffffft! um ya

  65. J.... B....

    I love this band but i cant lie that im SLIGHTLY disapointed and offended seeing as i am a christian. :( still a great band though.

    J.... B....

    @asuko2012 @Pure Underground Metal @Dustin Drake @Rusty Shackleford +di3cast All of you guys are posers. A real metalhead does not care whether or not his bretheren are Christian, Atheist, Pagan, Satanist, etc.

    J.... B....

    @onlyREALmetalisGOOD Haha all I said was "ha" and you're judging me from that. I love how a computer screen gives everyone a opinion.

    J.... B....

    @Jason Bonilla What a community, right?

    J.... B....

    +onlyREALmetalisGOOD Exactly, but what is tee point of saying that he's Christian? Who really want to hear that.

    J.... B....

    I'm a Christian and I love metal. There's a certain point where a song is too brutal to not listen to so I'm always willing to ignore the lyrics. And beside, I know they're wrong anyway so might was well let them have some fun.

  66. J.... M....

    JESUS CHRIST IS SUICIDE!!

    J.... M....

    Ha, that's just not true XD

    J.... M....

    If only this had any understandable meaning....

    J.... M....

    Religion is us killing our own species

    J.... M....

    @BLACK JACKET MAN You seriously don't get the meaning? Read the lyrics I'm sure you'll figure it out.

  67. J.... M....

    How can the 3 that disliked this song not like this song? What the fuck?!?

  68. J.... B....

    1:05 boom

  69. k.... ....

    shouldn't you be eating breakfast

  70. J.... W....

    1:06 might be the heaviest thing I've ever heard in any genre of music

  71. P.... ....

    Best album of 2012!!!

  72. P.... ....

    there's three ways to listen to music. 1) To listen to something because it sounds nice or feels good, or has a catchy hook. 2) To throw something on in the background to set a mood. 3) To ACTIVELY listen to a track from a musician's perspective, and essentially listening for complexity and virtuosity.
    Once you get used to listening in the style of 3, a little bit of 1 kicks in and you learn to enjoy the visceral onslaught of riffs and rhythm, bobbing or perhaps even banging your head.

  73. I.... ....

    Who cares whether it's death metal or grindcore? Classifying its genre will not change the sound of the song, so what's the point?
    Just listen to the damn song, and if you don't like it, change it.

    I.... ....

    ImmortalGurl97 I call it death grind so people don't get mad.

    I.... ....

    it's a technical deathgrind

  74. I.... ....

    Obsessed with 2:38 :3

  75. C.... H....

    Most deathcore is crap but Infant Annihilator is the exception to the entire genre I think.

    C.... H....

    Cody Hunsberger This is DeathGrind

    C.... H....

    So? Lol

  76. G.... Z....

    Travis Ryan has the best gutterals ever and some of the most original and brutal disgusting sounding highs and middle screams ever! \m/

  77. j.... ....

    1:48 just blows me away. I have my iTunes EQd so that section just... slays.

  78. j.... ....

    You know that feeling when you want a song to just fucking pummel your ears? Yeah.

  79. T.... ....

    All is fair in blood and gore.

  80. A.... T....

    Absolutely love this shit!

  81. M.... ....

    so heavy that my balls dropped... again

  82. i.... ....

    This made me realize my love of grindcore

  83. S.... M....

    Fucking sick.

  84. T.... P....

    easily the best song off the album, absolutely crushing

  85. J.... K....

    only 78 views, this video has one of the best quality's on youtube!! Wicked song
