Sewn
Back Together Wrong is a song by Dethklok that manages to capture the gruesome and macabre with their lyrics. The repeated phrase “Sewn back together wrong” highlights the song’s central idea, which seems to be a warning against scientific advancement without proper ethical considerations. The lyrics evoke an image of something being created out of different parts, bringing into question the moral implications of creating life or even a new form of intelligence. Furthermore, the mention of “back together” emphasizes that the new being is made of pieces that were once separate, suggesting that the new creation may not be cohesive or even functional.
The song also features lyrics that hint at the horrors that can occur if mad-scientists take over: “Crawling from a jar of formaldehyde came an unholy creation/And now its killer instinct can no longer be swayed.” The reference to “unholy creation” highlights the idea that the act of creating life without divine intervention could be seen as blasphemy, adding to the song’s ominous tone. The phrase “now its killer instinct can no longer be swayed” carries an element of warning, which suggests that the thing that was created might not behave the way it’s creators intended. Overall, Sewn Back Together Wrong resonates with cautionary themes that caution us against playing God.

My immense disappointment in the fact that this was never released as a full song haunts me to this day.
@karlosrolero
Yeah, I agree so much on that. Look how much time ago I did it, and I did it because there wasn't a version of it. We still don't have it... :(

@Novah Ikkala Even this short little clip sounds so good. At seemingly the most random moments, I find it playing in the back of my mind.
@robotbimbo

I was at a training seminar. The instructor asked us to pick a theme song that we would imagine every time we walked into a room. This is that song.
@Warrior300000
stuff like this makes me wonder how many secret dethklok tracks never made an album cut.
@JasonEllingsworth
it was just recorded for the show, for the part where the chef was sewn back together after the duncan hills coffee jingle incident.
