A few years later Force.Is.Machine finally found and created their own sound after recording a decent amount of material. They caught the eyes of a production company from Ft. Lauderdale, Axis Chemicals. Force.Is.Machine started speaking with them and Axis eventually booked FIM to play their first show at the "Wasteland of Opportunity".
A few shows later , Force.Is.Machine was in the studio and started recording the Skumbag! EP. Taking old songs and re-mastering them along with new originals. The Skumbag! EP was released in the summer of 2006 and was followed by a mini-tour, accordingly named "Aural Assault Tour 2k6" with Panzer Division and Axis Chemicals. The tour consisted of exclusive dates around Florida, United States.
Force.Is.Machine is currently inactive. Creator and mastermind of Force.is.Machine, Stefan St. John, unfortunately passed away in an accident on March 27 2010. No new music will be released. Sorry to report such news.

Fear
Force.is.Machine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dead inside, so self-righteous, cyanide
What do you want from me (from me)
Kill me
Sacrifice, scar my body, rectify
Fighting to survive in these (machines)
Show me light, your life so pitiful, out of time, don’t die on me
Brave the night or die invisible, tell me lies I’ll make you see
What is left to send my body into this time
Let me show you what it’s like to see the world through the eyes of the fated
This is the life you made with your pride, this is the nightmare that you created
Can you find a reason to live or will you die here broken and jaded
Can you pay the price for your sins, in the dark, in the fear machine
Bleeding
Razor blade, time is ticking be afraid
I hear you scream, the cry (the cry)
Burning
Down in hell, melting to your prison cell
And I can see your wasted life
Can’t find yourself in all this venom and sin, I’ll burn impurity
Don’t look back, just fall and understand, show me what it’s like to bleed
Let me show you what it’s like to see the world through the eyes of the fated
This is the life you made with your pride, this is the nightmare that you created
Can you find a reason to live or will you die here broken and jaded
Can you pay the price for your sins, in the dark, in the fear machine
And I know (I know) that this is not what you wanted to be (on your own)
So cold, (so cold) and in the night when you finally see (all alone)
That you’ve been dead inside for a while (aah, aah), you know that heaven’s still out of reach
Can you escape your vice this time, in the dark, in the fear machine
Let me show you what it’s like to see the world through the eyes of the fated
This is the life you made with your pride, this is the nightmare that you created
Can you find a reason to live or will you die here broken and jaded
Can you pay the price for your sins, in the dark, in the fear machine
And I know (I know) that this is not what you wanted to be (on your own)
So cold, (so cold) and in the night when you finally see (all alone)
That you’ve been dead inside for a while (aah, aah), you know that heaven’s still out of reach
Can you escape your vise this time, in the dark, in the fear machine
The song "Fear" by Force.is.Machine is a dark and ominous exploration of one's own fears and struggles. The lyrics describe a sense of emptiness and self-righteousness, as the singer looks for a reason to live and escape the "fear machine." The chorus expresses a desire to show others what it's like to see the world through the eyes of someone who is "fated" or doomed, and potentially inspire them to find a reason to keep going. The verses explore themes of sacrifice, sin, and inner turmoil, while the bridge repeats the line "I know that this is not what you wanted to be" as a reminder of the singer's disillusionment with their current state.
Overall, the lyrics paint a bleak picture of inner conflict and a desperate search for purpose in the face of the unknown. There is a sense of urgency and a feeling that time is running out, as repeated references to razors and ticking clocks suggest. Despite all of this, there is a glimmer of hope in the chorus that perhaps someone can find the strength to escape their own fears and make something of their life.

I mean, this moment is memorable in an off itself, but I can supremely imagine this being a super cool scene in a serious DBZ fight;
Like Goku unleashes the spirit bomb, but his opponent manages to z-vanish or use some form of instant transmission to get behind him, kicking him with enough force that he lands underneath the falling ball of pure death.
(Now I know that the genki-dama can't hurt good people, but shhh)
Now, Goku must escape the ball is it begins to land, rushing as fast as he can manage while simultaneously fighting the teleporting foe as he tries to hinder Goku's escape.
Or something along those lines.
