Soilwork - Tongue Lyrics

Yeah that's a good song

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⚡

Still love blasting weekly this album

I still remember when this first came out and everyone was like, Wow!! And I'm like, I was only 14 then 😂

epic. deserves atleasy 5+ mill views

3:20 is one of the most emotionally powerful parts in all of modern music to me. I always imagine holding the hand of somebody that I love as they die in a hospital bed. A feeling that very few artists can produce. It's that hopeless moment of knowing that it's all over, and then you turn and ask yourself "This can't really be happening right now, can it?" I never fail to burst out in tears.

+hatt meafy haha

anyone else seeing them in Vegas on May 4th?

+Raymond Frisch Seeing them in San Diego and Los Angeles... considering vegas as well lol

soilwork miserably fails at putting out songs of poor quality

+Péter D. They adopted this generic groove/nu-metal style that could have been done a lot better, but they just went with a really predictable formula and stuck with it for the whole album. It felt like a contractual obligation more than a genuine songwriting effort.

@Lord of Diamonds Hm, are we listening the same thing? There is nothing nu metal about the FN5. Name one single nu metal band that has the complex riffs with that blues vibe in it that Soilwork has on that album. (Not even mentioning the melodic chords and beatiful solos.) I mean, listen to Strangler, how the main riff and the chords are melting to each other. Just because the music is more melodic, doesn't mean it has to be dull or generic. More melodic than anything before? Yes. Groovy? Hell yes. But it is still layered and very musical. Figure Number Five is not really a melodic death metal album, more like a modern metal album with melodic death roots. With that said, it was way more unique than anything from the early era that orthodox metal fans are crying for. The Living Infinite is a good album but nothing more than recycling the familiar sound. I would be happy if metal fans would appreciate music in general, not just the heavy stuff. More aggressive doesn't mean better quality and vice versa.
I can agree that Sworn To A Great Divide was the weakest point though.

+Péter D. Lol, you must be one of those ignorant fucks who strawmans anybody who criticizes modern or simplistic metal (including nu metal) as an “elitist” who only likes “heavy” music. First, Figure Number Five is heavy. Few would deny it. But the heaviness has little to do with the musical content and more to do with the production style (good bass section). The reason that I dislike F#5 is not because it’s not as metal as it could be. It’s because it’s unimaginative, and far below the bar of what Soilwork has shown that they can do. Atmospheric power chords and nu-metal guitar percussion are so much less interesting to listen to than the simple but powerful riffs of Chainheart Machine and Predator’s Portrait. Natural Born Chaos took the groove/metalcore structure and did something interesting with it. Figure Number Five took the same structure and did nothing with it.

The verses of Rejection Role have that percussive chugging that puts more emphasis on groove than metal (characteristic of nu metal). You’ll notice that many of the other songs have the same thing: start-stop chugs and rock power chords that are definitely rooted in nu metal with little to no melodeath influence. The entire album is themed around percussive grooves that try to do too much with too little.

Of course, you are entitled to your own opinion about the quality of the album, but the fact is that Figure Number Five incorporates very noticeable elements of nu-metal.

@Lord of Diamonds Oh, ok, so you think I'm the ignorant fuck, meanwhile you are the one who can't even differentiate the genres and constantly writing so much bullshit. The fact that you brought up metalcore too, absolutely shows that you have no idea what you are talking about. Soilwork has absolutely 0 hardcore roots to make them metalcore/metalcore-ish in the first place. No, the melodic death metal melodies, the mid tempo and clean singing doesn't make a band metalcore. You can read as much reviews as you want from the past about those Soilwork albums. Literally nobody was mentioning metalcore. Wonder why? In the early 2000's the second wave of metalcore was in its infancy and was heavily rooted in the first wave of metalcore from the 90's which had that raw/dissonant sounding albums like Botch, Zao, Snapcase, Coalesce, Poison The Well, Converge had. Just listen the first albums of Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying, Unearth, etc. You will hear that they had completely different roots and influences, and the only connection between the two metal scenes were the melodic death metal melodies. Soilwork has nothing to do with metalcore (and nu metal). And there was no such thing like "metalcore structure".


Let's continue with this gem: "But the heaviness has little to do with the musical content and more to do with the production style (good bass section)."
I don't know if I ever heard this kind of nonsense before, not just about the Soilwork but about any album in general. You can't be serious. There is nothing special about the bass section on this album, you are just desperately trying to give to something else the credit, something else than musicianship and creativity in order to justify yourself and this is ridiculous.


"Figure Number Five took the same structure and did nothing with it."
If you would be true, everybody would have yelled no progression at FN5. Except that didn't happen. You just don't like it, but these are two different things.

You even contradict yourself: like speaking of Rejection Role. You can find those exact elements in the Predator's Portrait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnTG6JSK5ag (or even on NBC.)

"The verses of Rejection Role have that percussive chugging that puts more emphasis on groove than metal (characteristic of nu metal)."
How about do some research before you talk jokes like this? I think you forget about the fact that the whole 90's were about the grooves, not only nu metal. What's next? Will you call Pantera nu metal? Will you call Fear Factory nu metal? Or early Machine Head? Helmet?
"You’ll notice that many of the other songs have the same thing: start-stop chugs and rock power chords that are definitely rooted in nu metal with little to no melodeath influence." Again, you should do your research and listen this album very carefully. I'm not saying you will like it, but at least you won't talk stupid things.

"...but the fact is that Figure Number Five incorporates very noticeable elements of nu-metal." Don't call false opinions facts. They are not.

@Lord of Diamonds Seriously? F#5 came out almost 2 decades ago. do you understand what kind of rough shape the metal genre was in during that time???? that record was like a savior for metal when it came out. Obviously now compared to how they have evolved F#5 is ''half finished'', but at the time it was superior to most other metal bands.

Saw them live on October 24th.

Curious. Saw them live October 23rd. And then April 1st.

Everything in this sing is well played and very well written this is a once in a life time band for me

Yaaaawn...i used to be a sw fan - back in the day

that solo,,,,, wow. nice.

I think in 30 years people will still talk about this album in awe. And this is one of the best songs on it. Music doesn't get much better than this for me :)

Glad I'm not the only one thinking like this!

TheLethalTomato definitely my favorite Soilwork album!

One of my top 5 favorite bands.

The besT song EEEEEVER

THE MUSIC FOR 2013

"for anal, see the light of day and here comes the sane"

There. I fixed the lyrics. You're welcome.

if you don't understand what a joke is or if you simply don't like it, just ignore it

it's easier and you wouldn't hurt other people 

anyway, that is exactly what I hear in the song

anal? hahaha!! you just made my day XD
and this is totally of the best songs in this album 

@Elochai1990 yes, it is

3:00 to the guitar solo.
\m/

nooo, 3:21!

David and Sylvain are the best guitar players Soilwork has ever had.

Said it would be hard to top this album for best of the year back when it came out and still haven't found anything this year that can top this.

I can't believe this came out 4 years ago...

You can't read can you? Then it's a shame you can type

Sweet thanks again you guys rock!!! Check out I HATE YOU MORE. YouTube IHYM666 and IHYM069.
Fuck yeah!!! Metal on!!!

nice! It's a great track :)

^ What they said ;)

epic chorus!

There are so many good tracks off this album, but this is one of my favorites

ЭТО МЕГАКРУТЬ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO MORE LYRIC VIDEOS!!!

SOOOOILWOOOORK!

che merda

Wow! Mein neues lieblingslied ^^

FUCK YEAH!!

Yeeaaaaahh !!!!

are you kind of retarded?

Ty Soilwork to this f... MUSIC!

SOOOOOILWORK

my definition was based on the big bands of melodeath: In my opinion: soilwork and in flames

Sorry dude, but that's just wrong.

Melodic Death Metal is not defined by the vocals, true. But it doesn't depend on guitar "riffs" at all, it's the whole instrumentalisation. The music doesn't have to be written in a certain mode or scale at all, some bands also often use dissonances, like Prey For Nothing, yet it's Melodic Death Metal. The difference is if you have a mere rhythmic song structure or a melodic one, but both evoke emotions.

What an amazing double CD. CD of the year.

this song is so fucking catchy...

Don't like them...DT more interesting

Love this song

What defines the "melodic" aspect is not strictly the guitar riffs, it's the other instruments such as violin, piano etc. which add more variety to the music.

Solo for this song is prob my favorite on the album

The point is nobody tried to define melodic death metal here, just saying Soilwork has some great melodies so whats the debate ?

I was late for the lyrics, but early for the album. (ok, I will shut up)

SOILWORK <3

oooh that solo ♥ favorite song

Melodic death metal is not defined by the vocals. There are only a few bands who actually sing their songs. What defines the melodic aspect is the guitar riffs wich are written within a certain scale.

My tongue is now ready for something...

I never said anything about melodic death °-° but yeah, go make up things, that's fine too, if you roll that way.

dat chorus <333

...true

:D melodic death metal is not defined by "melodic" vocals
it takes much more to define it

Soilwork, damn! Best band I've ever heard. Much love from Germany!

if it was melodic death metal maybe

Can't complain, I fucking love Soilwork. GLORIOUS FUCKING MELODIES.

i love soilwork but isnt this a bit late?

First glance: A new song? WOW! Then the sudden realisation: No.

Great song

Not exactly sure why they made a lyrics video so many weeks after the release of The Living Infinite, but... who cares?! SOILWORK FTW!!!
