Drumattica combines elements of trance and 80's new wave with tribal drums and pop hooks. Picture Peter Gabriels Last Temptation of Christ with the Chemical Brothers meets The Doors and you've got the idea.
The band has a full length CD, "A Part of Something", and plays sporadically in the Northwest. Their live shows bring even more power and punch to the music, creating an almost hypnotic state of ecstasy.

Drumattica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While on the other hand, there is your sense of self respect,
Well on the one hand, there is a spiritual love;
And on the other hand there is the hunger of the flesh.
On the one hand there is transcendental meditation;
While on the other hand there are all your worries to distract.
On the one hand there is that great big house.
On the other hand there is your total inability to
Some don't pick up the pieces,
Some don't know what becomes of them
Some won't wrestle with pieces,
Some just don't know what to do with them,
But I might rest on the 'big men',
I might feed on their scraps?!?!
Is it...

RESUME SONG lyrics here:
Is this my movie?
Do I act or direct?
Is this my movie, do I act or direct?
Is it a cure or just a drug in all these discotheques?
Is this my movie, do I act or are direct,
When everything we want has got our hands around our necks
Is this my movie? Do I act or direct?
Oh, mother of God, it's also COMPLEX.
Note: Sampling sound clip is here,
But I cannot quite recognize what it is saying.
Is this my movie?
Do I act or direct?
Is this my movie, do I act or direct?
Is it a cure or just a drug in all these discotheques?
Is this my movie, do I act or are direct,
When everything we want has got our hands around our necks
Is this my movie? Do I act or direct?
Oh, mother of God, it's also COMPLEX.
Some don't pick up the pieces,
Some don't know what becomes of them
Some won't wrestle with pieces,
Some just don't know what to do with them,
But I might rest on the 'big men',
I might feed on their scraps?!?!
Gray pistol, black pistol, hungry little knife...
Everything I carryIn the back of my mind.
Make a trade for my days,
Take the money take the wife (I correct
With the word 'strife, as I am a woman;)...
Everything looks different from the back of my mind.
REPEATS UNTIL THE WORD "mind" is echoed...
Is this my movie?
Do I act or direct?
Is this my movie?
Do I act or direct?
Is it a cure or just a drug in all these discotheques?
Is this my movie?
Do I after that direct?
While everything we want has got it's hands around necks
(Interesting Siri translation here "our next question"?
Is this my movie?
Do I act or direct?
Oh, mother of God, it's all so complex.
Note: another sampling sound clip is here,
Which says " for the spirit of infirmity (note:
Siri corrected comma to common), I never ask God to heal them,
I ask to find that spirit and command that devil to turn loose."
If I talk like Jesus, if I talk like Jesus,
If I walk like Jesus and I talk like Jesus,
If I walk like Jesus talk like Jesus if I talk like Jesus could I
Walk like Jesus if I talk like Jesus and walk like Jesus if I walk
Like Jesus and talk like Jesus... Do I have to decide?
(Another interesting Siri translations: Do I have to take side?)
Do I have to decide?
If (A very interesting Siri translation went here "I'm a From a whole
Different world; I can see it all.
" Then Siri asked which translation language he should translate for
Me and went through a list of languages representative of the Babel
Tower (Siri said battle tower...)...
Then I said "never mind" and Siri said
"I can't translate the mind yet"
The lyrics to Drumattica's song Complex focus on the duality and complexity of life. The first few lines describe the contrast between love and self-respect, spiritual love and physical desire, and inner peace and external distractions. The following lines suggest that some people know how to deal with their problems while others do not know what to do with them. The singer wonders whether they should rely on the "big men" and take what they are given, or whether they should take control of their own movie and decide whether to act or direct.
The chorus repeats the question of whether life is a cure or a drug, and whether the singer should act or direct their own movie. The line "everything we want has got our hands around our necks" suggests that our desires may be suffocating us. The ending of the song includes a sampling sound clip of a person discussing the spirit of infirmity and asking to command the devil to turn loose, as well as the line "if I talk like Jesus, if I walk like Jesus, do I have to decide?"
Overall, the lyrics to Complex explore the idea that life is complicated and full of opposing forces, and the singer struggles to navigate these forces and find their own path.
