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

Tentacles
Atrox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This phantom pain is oh so confusing
I'm extraneous matter to the world
And so estranged
Look at me any way you want
My components are human and human and human and human
Strip me down to humanity
Into atoms of the fragile
I'm human I'm human I'm human
See I bleed red like you
What was that? Thought I heard you cuckoo
It may be I speak moron fluently
But you may be - if possible - even lamer than me
Yeah you could out-moron me anytime
We'll both stay with the mooncalves
Cause we're both aliens
Equally expendable
Equally valuable
So let's talk moron to moron
What's so great about being unique anyway?
We all are
The lyrics of Tentacles by Atrox touch upon feelings of alienation and exclusion. The singer's tentacles ache, which can be interpreted as a metaphorical representation of feeling out of place in the world. They feel like extraneous matter, something that doesn't belong. They are confused by the phantom pain that they are experiencing.
In the second verse, the singer is suggesting that we are all the same underneath it all. They are made up of human components, just like everyone else. They invite the listener to strip them down to their humanity, cut them up into tiny pieces, and they will still be human. They bleed the same color as everyone else, but someone might label them as "cuckoo" or crazy. In fact, they suggest that they may even speak "moron fluently," implying that they may not fit into societal expectations of what is considered normal or acceptable.
The final verse is an invitation to embrace our differences, to communicate without judgment or expectation. The singer suggests that they and the listener are both "aliens," and therefore equally valuable and expendable. They appeal to the "moron in all of us" and ask why being unique is so necessary anyway when it is our shared humanity that truly binds us together. Overall, the lyrics suggest that the feeling of alienation can be battled by embracing our shared experiences and rejecting the need to be "unique" or "normal."
Line by Line Meaning
My tentacles ache
I am feeling discomfort or pain in my tentacles
This phantom pain is oh so confusing
The pain I'm experiencing is unclear and difficult to understand
I'm extraneous matter to the world
I am not essential or significant to the world and its operation
And so estranged
As a result, I feel disconnected or alienated from the world
Look at me any way you want
You can perceive me or judge me in any way that you please
My components are human and human and human and human
Despite my physical appearance, my structure is composed of multiple human parts
Strip me down to humanity
If you remove all the non-human parts, I am fundamentally human
And cut me up into human and human and human and human
Dividing me up into smaller parts only emphasizes my human composition
Into atoms of the fragile
These parts are delicate and vulnerable
I'm human I'm human I'm human
No matter how you look at me, I am still human
See I bleed red like you
I share a commonality with humans - I bleed red blood
What was that? Thought I heard you cuckoo
Did I hear you say something foolish or nonsensical?
It may be I speak moron fluently
Perhaps I communicate like a fool or am easy to misunderstand
But you may be - if possible - even lamer than me
You may be less cool or interesting than I am, if that's possible
Yeah you could out-moron me anytime
You are even more foolish than I am
We'll both stay with the mooncalves
We are both outsiders or oddities who will be excluded from society
Cause we're both aliens
We are both foreign or strange individuals
Equally expendable
We are both disposable or of little worth
Equally valuable
At the same time, we are both significant or important
So let's talk moron to moron
Let's communicate in a simple or foolish manner
What's so great about being unique anyway?
What makes being different or exceptional desirable?
We all are
Ultimately, we are all similar or alike in some way
