Scar Symmetry - Deviate From The Form Lyrics






I transcend my earthly form
Through some questions never asked before
Question the need to be a machine
That responds automatically

Some words will trigger certain acts
Just one of the commandments we have learnt
Some acts will trigger certain states
I think it's time to alter the game

I'm changing
You're changing
We're changing from within

Deviate from the form of nothing
Deviate from the norm to something
Deviate from the form of nothing
I deviate, farewell to the tribe

I receive clues that lead me
To answers never seen before
And find the final piece
In the puzzle of reality

Some words will trigger certain acts
Belief in limitations we have learnt
Some acts will trigger certain states
I'm taking back what I gave away

I'm changing
You're changing
We're changing from within

Deviate from the form of nothing
Deviate from the norm to something
Deviate from the form of nothing
I deviate, farewell to the tribe

Soul volcano
Now erupting
Lava swallows
What used to be
Soul tsunami
Overflowing
Overriding
Reality

Soul volcano
Now erupting
Lava swallows
What used to be
Soul tsunami
Overflowing
Overriding
Reality

Deviate from the form of nothing
Deviate from the norm to something
Deviate from the form of nothing
I deviate, farewell to the tribe

    If I were a WWE wrestler, this would 1000% be my entrance music.

  8. H.... J....

    ear fuck if I ever heard one, masterful.

  9. T.... J....

    As soon as I hear Autotune on vocals, I turn it off.

    T.... J....

    With all due respect, I think you need to check your hearing. I know exactly what autotuned vocals sound like and I don't hear them here at all. Just because this is a modern band with modern production doesn't mean he uses autotune. He sings about as well as Bjorn Strid from Soilwork, who definitely does not use autotune.

    T.... J....

    @Tristan J. Cumpole You're an idiot. There is no auto tune on this song. Not even any slight pitch correction. What you are hearing is due to the blending of clean and harsh vocals on certain parts that sound artificial. It's a mixing quirk, nothing more.

    T.... J....

    @Seamus McFlanery Fuck off, fanboy. The truth is hard to swallow, get with the real world. Just because you don't want to believe it doesn't make it so.

    T.... J....

    @Tristan J. Cumpole Nice trolling.

    T.... J....

    @Tristan J. Cumpole Where though? Autotune is a very specific thing. It's not in this song.

    AWESOME song btw

  13. T.... K....

    dude on the right looks like jorah mormont

  14. A.... C....

    Hilarious how when Christian left, he had to be replaced with TWO vocalists to cover his range and abilities. The man is a phenomenal vocalist and paired with Per Nilsson's infectious riffs, just godly. It's too bad they parted ways. You can't often find music this good anymore

  15. P.... N....

    really love the solo in outro.. why they never played this live ??

    P.... N....

    Pradipta Nugraha they probably have, it just wasn't recorded.

    P.... N....

    Pradipta Nugraha i to love the end solo. its epic as fuck.

    P.... N....

    they actually have, back in 2008-09, after the new singers joined.
    you can even find a couple live recordings but they aren't that good quality-wise.

  16. a.... s....

    love his vocals

  17. W.... 4....

    Though my Grandpa is a smart forward thinking person, especially for his age. I cannot get over his declaration that we as people cannot change and that we are all inherently sinful fools. I and this vary song are a standing refutation to that claim.

    My opinion on this song is constantly changing, spiraling with my own understanding of my fellow man. Information breeds change, and in the internet age information is vast.

    W.... 4....

    The Thoughtless Believer Wario "sinful" lmao

    W.... 4....

    One less L, I must have one extra chromosome.

  18. A.... K....

    I just can't get over this mans solos and the " FEEL" he has!

  19. A.... K....

    I will never forget them... talking about making one hell of an impression! Spot on!!!

  20. A.... K....

    This song got me into them, also i have never heard anything like this!!!!

  21. A.... ....

    Per Nilsson's phrasing is so smooth and melodic.

    3:58 <---Epic Solo Incoming!

  32. N.... S....

    Everybody's talking about the solos but I wanna congratulate the drummer on achieving sublimity: doesn't try to capture the moment with his own work but perfectly compliments the guitarists.

    N.... S....

    Indeed...the drummer is great...very precise...              

  33. A.... ....

    I feel so sorry for the other guitarist in this band... Per overshines him in every damn way when it comes to the solos hahaha

    A.... ....

    @Aaronmac404 Hey, wait. Jonas is a really great guitarist. He left the band before the album "The Singularity Phase I" was written, anyways. Imo, Per is REALLY awesome (my favorite solo from him is the Neuromancer's one). But also Jonas is a great guitarist, there are a lot of amazing solos from him, expecially in the album "Pitch Black Progress". The first solo in Slaves to Subliminal, for example, or the second solo from "Retaliator". Whenever you hear a rushing, brutal, fast and aggressive solo with a wah pedal, 90% it's Jonas.

    A.... ....

    @Khristian Bolano I wasn't saying that he wasn't good; I was just trying to verbalize my thoughts on how much it must suck to be a guitarist in the same band as Per. Per is just...... On a whole other level than most, and it shows. Whether Per wants it to happen or not. 

  34. I.... -....

    Sick Solos

  35. 3.... ....

    Idc if you think Christian can't sing good live his recorded albums with SS are 10x better than anything with the new singers. They went from being possibly the best band in the history of their genre to just another really good band. That might not seem like a lot but being the best and being "really good" are way different.

    3.... ....

    @hawk03king I thought they were during their first three album reign but everything they've made after is still good but it's lacking.

    3.... ....

    Yes there new singers do a good job but just can't compare to christian same with mercenary and mikkel sandager it's unfortunate but atleast they still make good music

    3.... ....

    @tyjakejer Mikkel was really awesome lol.


    Anyways, Christian is a really, really good singer. Per got rid of him because he acted as a dick. The thing Per did was totally healthy for the band, and they still make good music. Pitch Black Progress is still my favorite album from them, but the newest album is next to that, along with Symmetric in Design, Holographic Universe and Dark Matter Dimensions. I'm not a fan of The Unseen Empire, but the other two without Christian are really worth. Lars is a great singer, and his timbre of voice really suits Scar Symmetry's style.

    3.... ....

    @Khristian Bolano (Crispoz) I'd still love to hang out him! He's my favorite artist and one of my idols!

    3.... ....

    Me too, of course

  36. b.... ....

    Per Nilson has metals finest phrasing

  37. F.... S....

    * - * me encantan!

  38. d.... s....

    The solos are genius.. You couldn't put a more perfect note for note solo into a song

    d.... s....

    I was thinking the same thing. Everyone loves a good solid solo, but virtually every note was a stroke of genius.

    d.... s....

    Per Nilsson my dudes...criminally underrated

  39. J.... A....

    Holy shit! These guys are awesome \m/! I was just randomly browsing music till a friend told me about these guys, normally I'm not that into metal, but shit this is good xD!

    J.... A....

    Check out Solution .45 as well. Same lead singer and such.

  40. D.... K....

    Nothing will compare to the REAL Scar Symmetry.
    Whatever they do, they can't get that feeling back.

  41. T.... ....

    They did. And the band still awesome

  42. n.... ....

    알요미 기여어

  43. L.... A....

    Too bad you need new ears.
    Both guys at live suck. Specially Lars.

  44. H.... ....

    In my eyes... the last seconds from the illusionist is the best vocal work from them.

  45. D.... J....

    A) Yes is the Christians' best vocal work and B) holy fucking Per Nilsson!!?

  46. J.... ....

    yet they tried. took 2 people to sound half as good

    \m/ (>.<) \m/

  65. p.... ....

    Have you heard of Holographic Universe? :p

  66. k.... ....

    H.mmm not bad ..!

  67. D.... ....

    And not only the Album is over, but the last with Christian is over :(

  68. R.... v....

    Does anyone know what kind of modes/scales the guitarists generally use in this band? The solo sounds so awesome, but it's almost jazz-like and I don't think I can grasp it with just the standard guitar modes... Can anyone help me out?

    R.... v....

    Sure! This may take a little, though.
    Let's have a look at the ending sequence first, since most of the epic soloing happens over this part! The key of the song is Eb minor, but the ending is in a special iteration of Eb major. There they have this great chord progression which the loop:

    Eb - Db/Eb - Cb - Db/Cb

    (I typed Cb, although it is practically the same as B, but in this case Cb is theoretically correct, and my nerd brain likes it better that way XD)
    The bass changes only between Eb and Cb, but the chords on top change twice as fast, and having the Db chord ring out over the lingering bass notes from the previous chord already gives it an eerie quality. But for the solos you only need one scale for each bass note:

    When the bass is on Eb, you play a so-called mixolydian b6 scale, which is actually just a very fancy name for the FIRST half of a major scale frankensteined together with the SECOND half of a minor scale. In the key of Eb this would be:
    eb - f - g - ab - bb - cb - db - eb

    When the bass is on Cb, just play a regular Eb minor scale.

    Of course the two guitarrists are master musicians and as such don't just adhere to a scale, but rather break out of it and go back in at will. But these two scales should get you pretty close to the feel of the song.
    Funny, for me Per Nilsson and Jonas Kjellgren had a sort of beauty-and-the-beast-dynamic going on: Per's solos are always very pristine, with him much of the time relying on "simpler" and more open scales such as for example the two i mentioned above, but using them utterly beautiful and making them shine and gleam. Whereas Jonas Kjellgren often gets a little wilder, both in attitude and note choice, quite often using the blues pentatonic with that dirty tritone in it, thus being a counterpart to the pristine Per. A good example would be the solos in The kaleidoscopic God from 4:50 to 5:45! First Jonas plays this pretty bluesy solo, then Per comes in with more polish, then at 5:24 Jonas burns it all down with this NASTY C#-halftone-semitone-scale, and then they both rejoice together in epic bliss!! I love it!!!

    I hope this helped and I didn't come across too teacher-like! Have a good shred :D

    R.... v....

    oh god, I just saw that your comment is six years old! Help came late, but it came XD

  69. n.... ....

    Not one, but two... and even then they're not really all that good.

  70. w.... ....

    They did either way.

  71. d.... ....

    Miluji tento hlas...

  72. m.... ....

    I mean like, I totally see it!
    But I will not like your comment.

  73. R.... D....

    One does not simply replace Christian Alvestam.

  74. p.... ....

    the ending of this song almost brings tears to me. This is when I realize that the album is over, ending with my favourite song of the band.

    p.... ....

    awww man... right there with you. Much love my friend, much love.

  75. 1.... ....

    wow i miss this alot

  76. T.... ....

    one of those guys on the picture looks like makemebad35, like if you see him

  77. t.... ....

    His name is Christian Älvestam.

    Remember that.

  78. J.... d....

    that mofo solo!!!

  79. S.... W....

    Christian Alvestam. He left Scar Symmetry in 2008 and joined Solution .45. He is also the lead singer for death metal band Miseration and various smaller bands. Go check out Solution .45, they are freaking great.

    S.... W....

    Sean Williams he was kicked out because he sucked live.

  80. M.... ....

    Either this or both Ghost Prototypes.

  81. M.... ....

    Solution .45, Miseration, I know he's in Unmoored, can't remember if he does vocals or not, he did the singing parts for one of Universum's albums, and a shit ton more. He sang for some techno song at some point. He's everywhere dude, hahaha. His name is Christian Alvestam, and he's the best vocalist ever.

  82. R.... L....

    Solution .45

  83. m.... ....

    I've only just found this band and they're sounding really good but did the lead singer leave at some point and if he did does anyone know if he's in another band?

  84. M.... ....

    It's hard for me to pick favorites. I just love the amount of contrast in their music. Makes the heavier parts even heavier and the melodies ever more beautiful.

  85. M.... ....

    Am I the only one who thinks the band is better with this vocalist?

    M.... ....

    MegadethMiller No, many think that.

  86. U.... ....

    Excellent, the song sounds a bit melancholic though

  87. M.... K....

    I like melodeath but hate death metal

    just my taste

    M.... K....

    Mischievous Korin Metalcore-Deathcore-Melodic Death Metal are the best genres, if I had to label them. My opinion.

  88. Z.... W....

    whoever hates on this, likes to rape little choior boys...

  89. Z.... ....

    great piece!

  90. d.... i....

    @TheTomboy1200 we got a badass over here jaja

  91. S.... C....

    @EmptyTomb Aye, I know he was. I was voicing my disagreement.

    And pretty much exactly my thoughts too. Some people listen to melodeath and metalcore and that's it, a la glam in the 80s [I could call them tourists of metal], and then there's others who listen to melodeath as a gateway, and then explore Death or black or whatever, and albums like TRITSIO and any other classic you care to name. I fall in the latter category. Seems like you do too.

  92. v.... s....

    @SyndicateofSonic i hate bieber and i love this song justin bieber is gayy

  93. A.... B....

    @SyndicateofSonic Them people are still pussies.. bieber fans or not..

  94. d.... ....

    @SyndicateofSonic That someone could not like this song. Thats what.
