1) Atrox is a progressive metal band from Trondheim, Norway. The band started out in 1988 under the name Suffocation but this was changed to Atrox in 1990. During the first 8 years of the band's existence Atrox did several gigs (with bands like Equinox, Edge of Sanity, Conception, Witchhammer, Godsend etc), recorded some demos (Darkness, Mind Shadow, Dead Leaves, the Granskogen recordings) that received good reviews and went through some line-up changes.
In 1996 Atrox signed two record deals with the record labels Danza Ipnotica and Head Not Found. A 7" entitled "Silence the Echoes" was released on Danza Ipnotica the same year and the debut album “Mesmerised” on Head Not Found in 1997. Both releases giving Atrox great feedback. The music that Atrox made in this era was death doom metal.
In 1998 Atrox signed a new record deal with Season of Mist and went through some line-up changes again. The band started to make more melodic and experimental/progressive/avant-garde metal and the result of this came out in the "Contentum" album that was released in 1999. This album was a milestone for Atrox; finally they got to show what they were going for. The material was new, the music was new, the setting was new, lots of crazy energy! After this Atrox did some gigs before they started working on their next album.
"Terrestrials" was Atrox's third album and were released by Season of Mist in 2001. This album was a little less schizo than "Contentum" but took Atrox further and higher in a more full frontal progressive blow-out. Both of these releases got the attention of the press around the world and the albums were either totaly praised or slathered. This was also a goal for Atrox to push the listeners limits and try to make people a little more open minded towards music.
After this Atrox signed a new record deal with Code666 and went through some line-up changes again. In 2003 Atrox 4th album "Orgasm" were released. The recipe for this album could be described with the following ingredients: 250gr of Meshuggah, 200gr of The Gathering, 25gr of atmospheric electronic synths. Mixed with a teaspoon of jazz arrangements and rhythmic. At the end, add fantasy and madness as much as you want. With this album Atrox achieved their best reviews in the bands history so far.
The band then played some gigs and did a few festival-appearances (Hole in the Sky and Southern Discomfort), with bands and artists like Katatonia, Arcturus, Entombed, Danzig, Red Harvest, Madder Mortem, The Haunted etc. at the same time as the band went through some more line-up changes. In 2008 they released the album "Binocular". Official site: http://www.atrox.no

Burning Bridges
Atrox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you can't cope with the sights don't bother to look
Once you've seen it you can't make it unseen
Once you've heard it you can't make it unheard
You just stay ignorant
The easier it is to fool you
That you just don't know
- Relax my intention is absolutely not to tell you that...
Lalala I'm not listening
- Don't worry I can assure you my intention is not to tell you about...
Lalala I can't hear you
Don't bother your pretty little head
Knowing too much can't be good for you
If you can't cope with the knowledge don't bother to learn
If you can't cope with the stench don't dother to smell
Once you've heard it you can't make it unheard
Once you've seen it you can't make it unseen
The song Burning Bridges by Atrox has lyrics that speak about the idea of ignorance being a bliss. The song suggests that if you cannot cope with the harsh realities of life, it is better to remain ignorant. The first two lines indicate that if someone cannot deal with the answers or sights, then they should not look for them.
The next two lines say that once someone has seen or heard something, it cannot be unseen or unheard. The lyrics then highlight that staying ignorant makes it easier to fool someone because they do not know enough about it. The chorus then highlights the idea of someone purposely ignoring what they are being told or informed about by saying, "Lalala, I'm not listening" and "Lalala, I can't hear you."
The song goes on to say that knowing too much is not good for someone's mental health. The lyrics advise that if someone cannot cope with the knowledge or the stench, then they should not bother to learn or smell it. The final lines reiterate the idea that once someone has seen or heard something, they cannot revert it back.
Overall, the song Burning Bridges speaks about the concept of ignorance being bliss, and suggests that sometimes, staying ignorant is better than knowing the harsh realities.
