Sweden's harsh climate and technological progress along with the blistering west coast weather forged what later became known as the Gothenburg Sound, with artists like In Flames, At The Gates and Dark Tranquillity. It should come as no surprise that this would eventually also become the breeding ground that spawned Chugger.

Rust
Chugger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Peeled of the paint, leaving you in the dirt
I heard you beg and squeal
Burning with shame, and your lies was the flame
You gave me your excuse
I've heard em all, to be part of a lie
With your treacherous reek
We've fallen!
All this time I've known
Drag your dirt on me
My trust in you is gone, there's just
Rust! What we had is gone!
Rust! Nothing's left of us!
You sat on your high end
Pretending to be, a better person than I
Guess you thought I was weak
Head in the clouds, but I'm clenching my fist
You had your reasons too
Dripping with sin, you sacrificed it all
You came with your abuse
Blessed by your scars, I will never forget
We've fallen!
All this time I've known
Drag your dirt on me
My trust in you is gone, there's just
Rust! What we had is gone!
Rust! Nothing's left of us!
Rust! We've fallen all we can
Rust! All this time I've known
Rust! Drag your dirt on me
What we had is gone!
Rust! We've fallen all we can
Rust! All this time I've known
Rust! Drag your dirt on me
Nothing's left of us!
Rust.
The lyrics to Chugger's song Rust address a broken relationship that has fallen apart due to lies, deceit, and abuse. The song's opening lines set the scene for the singer's realization that their former partner has been disguising their true self, peeling away the paint that concealed their true nature and leaving them in the dirt. The singer has heard all of their partner's excuses and recognizes that their relationship was built on lies.
The chorus, sung passionately by the band, emphasizes the finality of the situation. The trust that once existed between the singer and their partner is gone, replaced by the metaphorical "rust" that corrodes everything in its path. The singer has known for some time that their partner was not what they seemed, and now that they've fallen even further, dragging their partner's dirt and deceit down with them, there's nothing left but the rust of what once was.
The second verse furthers the theme of abuse, with the singer describing their partner's attempts to appear superior, painting themself as a better person than the singer. The singer recognizes that their partner thought they were weak, but they've rallied against that perception by clenching their fists. The lines "You had your reasons too / Dripping with sin, you sacrificed it all" highlight the dual nature of the relationship and the fact that both parties were not innocent.
Overall, the lyrics to Rust demonstrate a hard-edged sensibility with unrelenting vocals that capture the frustration and anger of a broken relationship. The song uses the metaphor of rust to convey the corrosive effects of deceit and abuse, highlighting the finality of a love lost.

I watched you shed your skin
I witnessed you revealing your true self
Peeled of the paint, leaving you in the dirt
You removed your facade, exposing your flaws and sins
I heard you beg and squeal
I listened to you plead and moan
Burning with shame, and your lies was the flame
You were overwhelmed with guilt and your lies fueled it
You gave me your excuse
You presented your justification
I've heard em all, to be part of a lie
I am familiar with all common lies and excuses
With your treacherous reek
Your deceiving aura
Stench of deceit, I shut my eyes on you
I decided to ignore you due to your untruthfulness
We've fallen!
Our relationship has deteriorated
All this time I've known

I have lost faith in you, there is only
Rust! What we had is gone!
Our relationship is corroded beyond repair
Rust! Nothing's left of us!
Our bond is completely destroyed
You sat on your high end
You acted superior and entitled
Pretending to be, a better person than I
You faked being a superior individual than me
Guess you thought I was weak
You believed I was gullible or easily fooled
Head in the clouds, but I'm clenching my fist
I appear unassuming, but I am secretly angry and ready for action
You had your reasons too
You had your motivations for your behavior
Dripping with sin, you sacrificed it all
Your wrongdoing was blatant and you compromised everything for it
You came with your abuse
You brought harm and mistreatment with you
Blessed by your scars, I will never forget
Affected by your wounds, I will always remember

Our bond is completely disintegrated
Nothing's left of us!
Our connection is non-existent
