1)Alchemist is a progressive death metal band from Canberra, Australia. The band was formed in 1987 by Adam Agius (lead vocals/guitar), eventually teaming up with the present line up of Roy Torkington (guitar), Rodney Holder (drums/percussion) and John Bray (bass) which has been together since 1992. Since 2003, Alchemist has also featured a fifth member in Nick Wall, who provides samples for live shows.
The band announced in June 2005 that they were releasing a compilation album entitled Embryonics; this was released in late October. It covers material released between 1993 to 1998, including material from the first three albums, the 1998 EP release and demo material. Bonus tracks include two songs recorded live on the radio in 1996. The band is also working on a DVD, which will be released in 2006.

2) Alchemist is also Nikolai Krinitski a Russian born musician. Has dedicated himself to music for the last seventeen years. His main education involved cello and later piano at the Moscow Conservatoire. Also in RCM (Royal College of Music) composition and orchestration and arrangement. In early 2003 Nikolai became interested in synthesis and music production. Three years and 160 tracks later he has found his 'home straight', concentrating mostly on IDM and Breakbeat.
Being of a 'classical' background Nikolai puts big emphasis on the melodic line and structure of the piece. Rhythm is a big feature in every track, being erratic, broken and with the use of unconventional drum-programming and sound quality. That creates very special auras all the way throughout the piece.
Nikolai has 3 projects; one under his own moniker Nikolai Krinitski, secondly, as Aphrodite and lastly as Alchemist (his latest incarnation). Nikolai has been signed to WLM since 2006

Single Sided
Alchemist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Say what you will,
others have different points of view.
I'm hearing all that you say.
You forgot no one's the same.
This cannot be, you rant and rave.
Open your mind, yourself you'll save.
There comes a time in everyone's life.
In the end it's all the same.
You believe you have certain rights.
It's just a factor of human plight,
You're just one side of the game.
Don't pretend to hear what I say,
And it's not the truth you relay,
But my mind you'll never change.
Different thoughts go on in our heads.
There is truth in all that is said,
We should be careful where we tread.
Seek to find the causes that evade you.
Try to like the people that resent you,
Clear your mind of fog,
So you can see through,
Don't forget that no one is the same.
Seek to find the causes that evade you.
Try to like the people that resent you,
Clear your mind of fog,
So you can see through,
Don't forget that no one is the same.
A coin that's single sided,
Must have the odds unbalanced.
I call for heads,
You call for tails.
Nothing is won, nothing prevails.
A coin that's single sided,
Must have the odds unbalanced.
There are two sides to balance your mind,
Look deep inside it's there that you'll find it,
Spend all your life tying to hide it,
Don't criticize until you have tried it,
You're single sided.
The Alchemist’s song “Single Sided” is about the dangers of being close-minded and only accepting one side without considering other perspectives. The lyrics establish that while the person speaking may acknowledge that what they're hearing is true, it's important to recognize that other people see things differently. This leads to the message that being open-minded is the key to being enlightened and that questioning established dogmatic beliefs is something that everyone should do in their lives.
The chorus refers to a single-sided coin and how it's impossible to win because the odds are unbalanced. It's a metaphor for how approaching life with a one-track mind is self-defeating because perspectives are multifaceted. The song calls for listeners to seek out causes that are difficult to understand and to try to empathize with those who resent them. It’s essential to clear away any preconceived notions that might skew your perception and to avoid criticizing others without first trying to understand their point of view.

Swiatek702 You could be right, but I think the song is about being one dimensional (i.e. a plastic person) rather than being one-sided. People who have one-sided beliefs very rarely try to hide those beliefs.
Regardless of the interpretation of the song, only one of the above commenters is a fuckwit, and I'll give you a clue who it is... Most of the people who fought the Nazis were capitalists...
