Despite never being able to land a contract with a major label they continued to release a string of successful underground releases before finally disbanding in the mid-90’s. After their demise, guitarist Frank Thoms and René Schultz formed a new band called Scartribe.

The Freeze
Accuser Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Invading my system
At an alarming rate
No boundaries, no restriction
Programmed to inflitrate
No Cure, no cure, I've got to escape
When death comes knocking, I don't want to be home
This tormenting pain
Sweet sleep awaking to horror

Sleep brings relief
But just 'til tomorrow

The doctors want to freeze me
In a century of slumber
Doctor! Doctor!
What a suggestion!
This is no longer just a...
Scientific question

I want to feel that blade sharp cold solt
Shooting through my veins
Driving my lifeblood before it
Deadening my pain

Locking my lungs
In a endless icy breath
Holding me in a state
Between comatose and death

The doctors want to freeze me
In a century of slumber
Doctor! Doctor!
What a suggestion!
This is no longer just a...
Scientific question

Where will my spirit dwell
When I'm in the icy time - machine
I'm haunted by fears of the unknown
Seduced by a science - fiction dream
Doctor! Doctor! What a suggestion!
This is no longer a medical question

Even if they have the ability
Will they decide to resuscitate me
Will I awake to ecstasy
Or emerge as a freak show novelty

Freeze my body... Freeze my soul?
Freeze my body... Freeze my soul...

Will I awake to ecstasy
Will I awake at all
Will I be wrenched from a land of the dead
Damned to relive humanity
A Frankenstein of the future
A ghost imprisoned in body
Or remain a fossilized entity
Locked in eternal purgatory

The doctors want to freeze me
In a century of slumber
The Doctors want to freeze me
In hundred years they'll have the cure
For the ills which pull me under

Please Doctor, come on, freeze me!

Overall Meaning

The song "The Freeze" by Accuser talks about the concept of cryonics, a process of freezing the human body to preserve it with the hope of reviving it in the future. The lyrics speak of the singer's desire to escape from the tormenting pain caused by an invasive system, leading them to consider cryogenic freezing as a solution. The lyrics are infused with a sense of uncertainty regarding what happens to one's consciousness in the frozen state, as well as the possibility of being seen as a "freak show novelty" if revived in the distant future.

The song also highlights our fascination with science and its advancements, specifically in medical technology and cryogenics. The singer is haunted by the unknowns of what will happen to them in the frozen state and the potential outcomes of being revived. It also questions the ethical aspects of cryonics and whether it's a viable solution for prolonging life.

In all, the song aims to convey the sense of helplessness and desperation that people may feel when faced with the prospect of death. Cryonics, in this case, represents a last-ditch effort to escape the inevitable, allowing humans the hope of living beyond their natural lifetimes.

Doctor! Doctor! What a suggestion!
This idea is shocking and unexpected

This is no longer just a... Scientific question
It's not just about science anymore, there are moral questions raised

I want to feel that blade sharp cold soul
I want the freezing sensation to stop the pain and suffering

Shooting through my veins
I want the freezing sensation to permeate my body through my veins

Driving my lifeblood before it
The cold feeling should push my blood throughout my body

Deadening my pain
I want the sensation to numb the pain

Locking my lungs
Freezing me might have negative effects on my breathing

In a endless icy breath
The icy sensation would be constant and unending

Holding me in a state, Between comatose and death
I'll be in a state of neither fully alive nor dead for the duration of the freeze

Where will my spirit dwell
What will happen to my soul or consciousness while I'm frozen?

When I'm in the icy time - machine
I'll be frozen in time for 100 years

I'm haunted by fears of the unknown
I'm scared of what might happen to me and my consciousness while I'm frozen

Seduced by a science - fiction dream
The idea of cryogenic freezing is enticing, but also seems like something out of science-fiction

Even if they have the ability
Just because they can freeze me doesn't mean they should

Will they decide to resuscitate me
Will the future doctors who revive me choose to do so?

Will I awake to ecstasy
When I wake up, will everything be perfect?

Or emerge as a freak show novelty
Will I be an oddity or spectacle because of my freeze?

Freeze my body... Freeze my soul?
Is it worth risking my soul or consciousness for this?

Will I awake at all
Is there a chance that I won't be revived?

Will I be wrenched from a land of the dead
Is being frozen like being dead, and will I be brought back to life?

Damned to relive humanity
If I'm brought back, it might be cursed to live again

A Frankenstein of the future
A person who has been brought back from the dead might be seen as a scientific monstrosity

A ghost imprisoned in body
I might feel as though I'm trapped in my body

Or remain a fossilized entity
I might just be frozen forever without ever being able to be revived

The Doctors want to freeze me, In hundred years they'll have the cure, For the ills which pull me under
The doctors believe that in 100 years, the medical community will have found a cure for what is killing me

Please Doctor, come on, freeze me!
The singer is willing to take a gamble on cryogenic freezing if it means that there's a chance for a cure later on
