Townsend, Devin - Random Analysis Lyrics






Analyze the compromise
Career is why I think or say the things I do
Relationship in honesty, so here's a little story for you
Met a girl, I met a girl at random
Random is as random does
Justify don't ask me why...why?
Just because
I'm acting like a day old male
Day old female

Saturday, another day, and life's a little give and take
Take and give
I'm staying home, I'm sorry boys I'm a little sensitive
But still you're saying
"Faggot is as faggot does with every little faggot thing a faggot do"
I'm not insane, I'm not insane...I'm just smarter than you
You're acting like a day old male
Day old female

Oh, analyze. Oh, compromise. Why?

But I'm loving
And insecure
And just a little bit violent
But I know for sure,
I'm here to your entertainment
I'm here, for your unbridled entertainment
So let's go
Far away, in fantasy
Don't get me wrong I like it too and feel it too
But understand that man or woman, I don't want to sleep with you
'Cause power is as power does
With every little power trip we pull because
It's all inside our selfish pride wanting the control of it all
(Controlling it all! Control emotion!)

Day old male
Day old female

Oh, analyze. Oh, compromise (compromise baby...)
Why?

Townsend, Devin Random Analysis Comments
  1. S.... W....

    But i'm loving... and insecure... and just a lil bit violent

  2. I.... ....

    Symphony of Destruction anyone?

    I.... ....

    Not at all.

  3. o.... ....

    I get a serious Addicted vibe from this song.

  4. M.... Z....

    I miss the skullet

  5. J.... ....

    That progressive shift at 3:03 = perfection. Devin is undoubtedly the best musician (and vocalist) I've ever heard in my life.

  6. J.... E....

    1:29 hahaha Huey Lewis!

  7. K.... ....

    you mean forever? :D

  8. G.... B....

    Somebody please help me, I started listening to this album last week and I just can't stop! :) This is too damn genius for me...

  9. N.... V....

    of the whole dang album for me:)

  10. V.... ....

    For the longest time, I misheard the line "day old male" as "day old mayo"

  11. T.... ....

    This album is the first Devin Townsend album I ever got, having never even heard any of his music, and I have never looked back. He quickly became my favorite artist ever, and has been for the last 15 years. You can come back to his older CDs after years and they still sound so fresh and amazing as the first time you heard it.

    T.... ....

    i started with Physicist. Namaste had me sold. further, i had listened to SYL before. so i had some idea of what Devin was about vocally. a big difference from SYL. he seems to have more control with those vocals.

  12. K.... R....

    well I think it's better that you discover him later, that way, you have tons of material to listen to, instead of waiting every 2-3 years for new stuff. Welcome to Devy Metal :)

  13. D.... ....

    A lot of us came in that way sir

  14. J.... H....

    My bro told me about Devin Townsend about a year ago. its always nice to meet another new fan of HevyDevy :D

  15. k.... ....

    @yokiddingme Yeah, same here. I saw DTP with Obscura, Septic Flesh, and Children of Bodom in July, having never listened to any of the bands, but knowing of CoB. Needless to say, Devin's band blew me away. Saw him again when he headlined a small North American tour in October. Got right in front of his mic (if you don't believe me, I posted the video on my YT account) and it was INCREDIBLE!!!!

  16. B.... C....

    But I'm loving, and insecure, and just a little bit violent.

  17. J.... D....

    This song makes me feel like someone else understands my childhood.

  18. L.... V....

    Hevy Devy Is THE MAN!

  19. R.... F....

    Definitely one of my favorite songs off this album!

  20. n.... ....

    yeaaaah devin townsend yeaaah i seem him live in belgium in graspop metal meeting yeaaah greeting from dutch DEVIN TOWNSEND THE BEST YEAAAAH

  21. m.... ....

    I'm not insane!!, i'm not insane!!!... i'm just smarter than youu.

  22. M.... U....

    @vonPickles dun worry it happened to me too

  23. j.... ....

    Thanks hevyd00d this is my favorite song on this cd also.

  24. v.... ....

    I just discovered SYL a couple of months ago and that eventually led me to Devin Townsend. It makes me sad knowing I've been missing out on his music for all these years!!

  25. L.... ....

    I wonder what, if any effect Devin would have on a lot of bands if he produced them. He seems to be a master of bringing out the more hidden things in a song and the sound has an entirely new dimension or 5. He's just beyond amazing and should more than get his due as a talent both as a songwriter, guitarist and producer.

    L.... ....

    LoG's As the Palace Burns was a great record. however, it came at a price to both the band and Devin.

  26. S.... ....

    Devin townsend is not a new "band" and black sabbath is not "popular".

  27. J.... ....

    Couldn't agree more.

  28. j.... g....

    well you also gotta understand that devin's music isn't for everyone, it took me quite some time to get used to his style. this the same reason that fusion music or extreme death metal are not mainstreamed, those are really specialised styles that a small percentage of people are interested in

  29. S.... ....

    on contrare...i want him to get popular. people need to see what real music is. that way, people will actually put thought into what they play instead of just fuckin gay chords and catchy choruses.
    plus, if anyone deserves the money because of his music, its me....and dev! lol

  30. n.... ....

    Along with Kingdom, this made me love Devin.
