2. A Goth (Deathrock) band from Los Angeles, California.
1. Flesh O.N.E.
the turntablist/producer hailed by XLR8R as an “evil genius”, collaborated with bassist and producer, El Diablo (of San Francisco-based collective Dhamaal Soundsytem)
to create a super-charged and lucid ride through the realms of hip-hop, dub, and electronic music.
Superhuman Music features the ragga stylings of The Colonel M.C., and guest spots by Galapagos 4 emcees Rift Napalm and Yoda Roc.
Flesh's dark and dirty beats coupled with El Diablo's dark, deep bass lines create the perfect sound chamber for the doomsday inspired lyrics, echoing the despair of a post-apocalyptic world commonly conjured up by comic books and video games.
2. In the winter of 2015, Flesh and the Devil was officially established in Los Angeles, California. They are currently working with engineer/producer Paul Roessler on a full length album which will permeate thought-provoking lyrics, dark confrontational melodicism, and unrestrained primordial energy.

The Chase
Flesh And The Devil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know how you feel
You've got your hunger
And some problems that are real
And you're dealin' with some demons
Who are driving you insane
And I seen them drag you screamin'
Down the hallways of your brain
You got loaded again
Ain't you handsome when you're high
Nothin' matters
Chase that feeling 'til you die
Let it right in then
Let it run your life
Let it run your children
Oh, let it run your wife
Let it take the joy you love
Turn it to despair
You know you know better
You just don't care
'Cause you got loaded again
Ain't you handsome when you're high
Nothin' matters
Chase that feeling 'til you die
Blame it on the midnight
Think of number one
Tangled up in two
And you were shining like the sun
With a pretty piece of hunger
Who was younger than her eyes
I begin to wonder how it is you're still alive
'Cause you got loaded again
Ain't you handsome when you're high
Nothin' matters
Chase that feeling 'til you die
Nothin' matters
Chase that feeling 'til you die
The song "The Chase" by Flesh And The Devil captures the destructive behavior of addiction. The lyrics emphasize the constant search for pleasure and the disregard for consequences that comes with it. The song begins with empathy for the addict, acknowledging that they suffer from real problems and are tormented by demons that drive them to act irrationally. However, the lyrics also highlight the dangerous cycle of addiction, as the addict continues to indulge in their vices even though they know better.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, with the line "Chase that feeling 'til you die" repeating multiple times. This phrase encapsulates the never-ending pursuit of a short-lived high, regardless of the toll it takes on the addict's life. The lyrics suggest that addiction can take everything that once brought joy and turn it into despair, taking over one's life and leaving them with nothing but their addiction.
Overall, "The Chase" is a sobering reminder of the dangers of addiction and the importance of seeking help to break the cycle.
