Skinny Puppy - Use Less Lyrics






Are we alone?
Mission complete
To the unknown
This is a story
This is so sorry

Hard as a stone
Sunk in too deep
Run out of air
Lung full of heavy
It's feeling heavy

Room for one
Fossil to break
Labor of hate
Who are we fooling?
What are we doing?

In it on time
Proof in the meat
Time to consume
Doesn't concern me
Under a flag free

Are we all completely useless?
Are we? Are we?

End is unknown
Sick and alone
This is a dream
Meant as a nice thing
Meant as a nice thing

So pause at the end
Cause the effect
Shorten the pain
Time for reflection
On to regret them

Are we all completely useless?
Are we? Are we?

    Are we alone?
    Mission complete
    To the unknown
    This is a story
    This is so sorry

    All is a stone
    Sunk in too deep
    Run out of air
    Lung full of heavy
    It's feeling heavy

    Were we forewarned?
    Force it to break
    Labor of hate
    Who are we fooling?
    What are we doing?

    Pin it on time
    Proof in the meat
    Time to consume
    Does it concern me?
    Under a flag free

    Are we all completely use less?
    Are we?
    Are we?

    End is a known
    Sick and alone
    Pieces of dream
    Meant as a nice theme
    Meant as a nice dream

    So pause at the end
    Cause the effect
    Shorten the pain
    Time for reflection
    Or to regret them

    Are we all completely use less?
    Are we?
    Are we?

  19. V.... D....

    In the early 80ies I bought 2 band's records without prelistening: SkinnyPuppy and Front242.
    In opposite to many SP fans I also like the new records.

    V.... D....

    Völl Däpp you chose wisely!

  20. R.... Z....

    As close to commercial as they ever got, great song . What a great sound, I love these guys. Warlock is always my favorite !

  21. M.... H....

    Ft. Wayne Static and Danny Carey

  22. S.... J....

    I AM A A PERSON OF HABIT AND I DID NOT THINK THAT ANY NEW PUPPY SONG WOULD GIVE ME THAT FEELING AS IF I FIRST HEARD THEM THIS SONG IS THAT INTENSE I CANNOT GET ENOUGH SO TRUE.....ARE WE ALONE IT SEEMS THAT WAY UNTIL YOU HEAR SUCH PERFECTION

  23. d.... t....

    SP goes radiomusic? sooo sad.

    d.... t....

    Pff, give me a break. They won't play this on the radio. Have you heard what they put on the radio? This is STILL way too dark for them.

    d.... t....

    but sorry, those tunes are ... shit

  24. S.... J....

    TOO THE NEOPHOPIA FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN HEAVEY PERFECTION  CAN SOMEONE PUT A LOUDER VERSION??????????? I CANNOT GET IT LOUD ENOUGH I AM PLAYING IT ON BOSE LOUDER VEET VEET VEET NEIN

    S.... J....

    Sinthia Jarrz. Just download it.

  25. S.... J....

    perfection

  26. U.... M....

    OMG! i was listening to nine inch nails 4 the 1st time and they kinda reminded me of skinny puppy so i checked out their Wikipedia page and turns out that they were influenced by skinny puppy! is it just me or is that weird?

    U.... M....

    Nine Inch Nails is only ONE person...Trent Reznor...He does everything by himself in the studio..He only uses musicians when he tours, And NIN came out years after SP did, NIN (1988) and SP (1982)

    U.... M....

    Why would that be weird? Trent was doing stuff with Al Jourgensen of Ministry before he even finished the first NIN record. Al Jourgensen pretty much helped him get where he is.

  27. N.... R....

    It sucks that my ex husband initially turned me onto Skinny Pi

  28. V.... D....

    The South Park episode Raisins brought me here.

    V.... D....

    skippy puppy

  29. S.... M....

    Did anybody else notice that every single Skinny Puppy album cover looks like somebody was doing rails off it?

    S.... M....

    goths are losers

    S.... M....

    noobenstein is a prejudiced, judgmental nimrod.

    S.... M....

  33. B.... D....

    Ogre's lyrics are so clean and clear here... I think I've gone to an alternate dimension where Skinny Puppy stayed a synth pop band, andI love it. 0_0

  34. S.... C....

    So I see a lot of a judgmental cunts does it truly matter piss off unless you can do better!!!

  35. [.... ....

  43. B.... ....

    great fucking song !!!!

  44. t.... S....

    is wayne static singing in this song?????

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

    Listen to the Ministry Album "Twitch". It's similar to SP 80's work. Then also check out Front Line Assembly and Testify.

    D.... J....

    Maybe blue stahli celldweller

  46. O.... B....

    Why is it so?

  47. p.... ....

    You know, I really don't think they wrote that song for you anyway. Nostalgia can be a real bitch sometimes.

  48. A.... ....

    Not anymore as I see ahah

  49. a.... ....

    Things like this help to make Youtube wonderful. It can take up a great deal of my day. However a large percentage of families are gradually over time KILLING their dogs (without spotting it)!!! The garbage dog food companies put into pet food will cause cancerous cells and tends to make most dogs pass away young. I came to understand the challenging way when my pet passed away at 6.

    If you have a pet dog and you want to help save its life then search for Double Life Dog Diet (Google it.)

  50. M.... W....

    Check out an 70's band called Throbbing Gristle, and my personal favorite is an english band called COIL.

    I found that if you put on a Coil album and then fall asleep, your dreams are so powerful and wild.

    M.... W....

    There's a jam session of TG and SP somewhere on YT, it's pretty epic.

    M.... W....

    PUPPYGRISTLE

    M.... W....

    @Brian Kyllo that's larry trasher who played in psychic tv, not TG.

  51. D.... ....

    Whit Wayne Static of Static-X

  52. L.... ....

    I've heard a lot of bad things about this song but it's not really that bad......after hearing Pro-Test I was thinking could there possibly be a worse song masquerading as a Skuppy song?? Not that I have yet found. I will never forgive them for that fucking song, honestly. Don't get me started on that video!

  53. L.... ....

    Anyone who says this is a favorite SP song doesn't know shit about what SP is really about.

  54. J.... R....

    I hear ya man and I agree with most of what your saying but when I say electro industrial, it's not that same electro your thinking about. Early sp had that very goth/darkwave influences with industrial but later albums had a more dark electro sound like Vivsect VI and even too dark park. Rabies was their "rock album thanks to Al ;) Many bands were influenced by that dark electro sound of SP. Yelworc, Pedwalk, Evils Toy, and many others. In my opinion SP invented that dark electro sound.

  55. J.... R....

    I get what your saying. I do but when it comes to people asking me what is SP, I get stumped because their sound has changed so much over the years but I usually say electro industrial/goth because in my opinion it describes their best work in the 80's & early 90's. I would never call them EBM. I'd slap someone if I heard that! Shit! EBM doesn't even exist anymore with all this aggrotech b.s. Perfect visual on the cat in the hat lol. Maybe some baggy pants with reflectors on it & a slipnot shirt

  56. c.... ....

    yeah well I'm 45 so I win!
    haha just kidding.
    Just getting sick of every wiki and every youtube vid of any industrial band has some clown saying "this is wizard cool Electro-metal!". I imagine they have one of those cat in the hat striped hats on as they type.

  57. c.... ....

    see the wikipedia entry on electronic music genres to get where I am coming from. It's a bunch of nonsense to me to try and catalogue music into linear genres. Much less to try and categorize all electronic music by hierarchy.
    To be frank I always thought of SP as more of a goth band with industrial influence than an industrial band. EBM=house/techno EBM=/Industrial.
    Just saying is all. Not trying to call you out.

  58. c.... ....

    goth & industrial yeah, but I dont see where you are getting electro from. Electro is pretty much roland analogue gear with a funky beat and futurist styling. EG:Afrika Bambatta (though I consider him plain old good hip hop).
    My point is that it's not part of the same family. Early industrial acts had a contentious relationship with music. They were deliberately anti song structure, anti-pop, anti-melody etc.
    PS. nothin personal. man, just hate this genre hierarchy shit.

  59. J.... R....

    Oh, and you don't know me from jack shit either & telling me that I wasn't really in the scene in the 80's or 90's makes me laugh. I saw all the greats in their hayday. I got introduce to this music at a very early age thanks to my older cousin & living in Chicago! It was my life! Shows, clubs, after parties! I met so many great artisits and partied with many of them, I am personal friends with Chris Connelly & other chaps from the wax trax days.. I was very involved in the Chicago "scene!!" lol

  60. J.... R....

    Your putting words in my mouth and your not telling me anything that I don't already know lol. "Industrial" started in the mid to late 70's with bands I previously mentioned. It was experimental and the name term came from a record label called Industrial records! EBM people?? lol EBM is music, not people. 242, is EBM and they like the Industrial term as well. It's all part of the same damn family but if you want to get your panties in a bunch about it, have at it!

  61. J.... R....

    For one dude, I've been listening to this music for over 25 years and I know it very well. I never said SP were ebm lol. EBM, Electro or whatever is all apart of Industrial in some shape or form. If you wanna be technical then SP aren't Industrial. Throbbing Gristle, Neubaten, Lab Report, SPK is Industrial. SP are Electro/Industrial/Goth. And I'm not talking about playing live either! In the 80's Cevin used drum pads, metal garbage can & drum machines.House or techno???Where did that come from?

  62. c.... ....

    I guess you weren'r really in the industrial scene in the 80's/90's?
    If they hew to any label it's industrial. They kind of created the whole intersection of goth and industrial scenes.
    As far as electro, SP is a live drummer with some sequenced bits. It's not an 808, it's not house or techno.
    I am just really sick of these tweaked out EBM people retroactively categorizing all music made with electronic gear as some kind of subset of EBM/IDM/Electro.
    Industrial predates all that shit.

  63. J.... R....

    Whether you dislike labels or not, they exist! The point is, every genre of music has labels plain and simple. Yes, Skinny Puppy is Skinny Puppy but there is nothing wrong with having labels to describe their sound. And "Electro" has been a term long before analog synths. I consider SP electro industrial,electro goth, industrial rock,and experimental depending on which era. They sure aren't ebm lol. I use to be that guy saying "I hate labels!" I'm 38 years old now, who gives a shit? lol

  64. c.... ....

    Severed Heads, Cabaret Voltaire, D.A.F., Throbbing Gristle

    c.... ....

    calaverasgrande Nocturnal emissions, Suicide, Kraftwerk, Devo also 👍

  65. c.... ....

    they arent electro-industrial. Nobody was saying "electro" until analog gear was out of vogue and it was weird to see some one using old synths and not the "new hotness" samplers and FM synths.
    They are just fucking Skinny Puppy.
    So sick of people retroactively labeling bands.

  66. C.... C....

    I used to need acid to understand it. Now I need it to remember the best parts of my life ill never have again.

  67. t.... ....

    A few guys are deaf

  68. D.... J....

    Two people always feel use less

  69. I.... S....

    First song from SP i'd ever heard.. and still haunts me to this day..

  70. J.... R....

    Well it depends what kind of era your talking about. Skinny puppy of the the 80's and early 90's was darker electro industrial, They have changed quite a bit since those golden years of electro goth or whatever you want to call it. If you like the old stuff, check out Velvet Acid Christ, Yelworc, Placebo Effect, old X Marks the Pedwalk, but for the newer style... I couldn't really compare it to anything else. If you have any questions, I got your back ;)

  71. i.... ....

    You forgot to mention that this song also contains a certain Mr Wayne Static singing the chorus.

  72. D.... ....

    You are oh, so right, like I say, to each his own.

  73. D.... ....

    Sounds like the lead singer from Type O Negative...
    who has joined that R&R band in the sky...RIP

  74. a.... ....

    Front line assembly, Icon of coil, my life with the thrill kill cult, 13 mg, sister machine gun, front 242, nine inch nails, ministry...

    go to allmusic [dot] com and look up skinny puppy and check the section for related artists and artists that inspire their work

  75. D.... J....

    Assemblage 23 is close to their style.

  76. G.... S....

    Haven't found any really. I would recommend Yendri, VNV Nation, mind.in.a.box.

  77. p.... b....

    adores skinny puppy

  78. A.... R....

    Did not know Tool drummer Danny Carey played in this song...awesome!.

  79. T.... D....

    The Tear Garden (Tired eyes, slowly burning. Ophelia, etc.) is similar to this track -- it is a project involving cevin key and edward ka-spel of Legendary Pink Dots also worthy... for more industrial goth noise check out Foetus.

  80. G.... ....

    Ohgr

    a few songs: hilo, comedown, hollow, bellow, screw me...

    they are genius

  81. m.... ....

    SO agree with you. People bring petty bullshit that has to do with their own insecurities into these comments when they should just be listening to the music and taking in it's awesomeness.

  82. m.... ....

    why is it people must play the "whos better" game? why not shut the fuck up and listen to what all the greats have to offer us.

  83. B.... ....

    2 guys and now they are dead.

  84. D.... S....

    On both ears, apparently.

  85. M.... S....

    thats what i heard to it defiantly sounds like danny tho ^_^

  86. e.... ....

    half of this is digital programming of drums n percussion and the other half is live recorded drums

  87. s.... ....

    way to dive in there

  88. j.... ....

    Nevermind, I looked it up. So, this is the only song he plays for.

  89. j.... ....

    This is the drummer from Tool?
    Sorry, someone recommended me here, this is my first time listening to this band.

  90. P.... D....

    @schism47 ok, for me chris alder is the best:)

  91. L.... ....

    In regards to DanishVikingPastry this is all I have to say

    youtube.com/watch?v=Y65lERfzNNE

    don't forget the world wide web part.

  92. I.... M....

    @schism47
    This is truth

  93. e.... ....

    Wayne Static is on here as well in the chorus. Love this song.

  94. D.... ....

    @kaptainkittykrankhei
    I'm so sorry, but I cannot hear your petty argument over the sound of me doing your mom. I'm really sorry.
    Come back later?
