Michael Geist, also known as DJ Ghost, formed GGFH in 1986. After releasing several demo tapes and playing the occasional live show, Brian J. Walls joined the band and the duo were eventually signed to "Dreamtime Records" in 1992.
GGFH toured briefly with the metal bands Fear Factory and My Dying Bride and shortly after the tour, Brian J. Walls left the band to pursue other interests (1993).
Over the next 10 years DJ Ghost started a graphic design company and gained notoriety as a DJ. After the release of “The Very Beast of GGFH Vol. 1” in 2001, DJ Ghost decided to begin work on another GGFH LP.
With the absence of Brian J. Walls, the band’s main song writer, DJ Ghost looked to a handful of contributors to help write new GGFH material.
Serrated Smile was released in 2005.
Flesh
G.G.F.H. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't you hear me fall
Cracked ceiling, so revealing
Still no sign at all
Rain falling, voices calling
Standing straight and tall
Blood burning, moving once again
Down to nothing, empty as a knee
Something reeling, blindly I can see
I'm doing something, temptation on the floor
I just keep waiting, always wanting more
Slowly crying, raining (ringing) with disease
Empty bottles, filling with my dreams
Visions fill me, destroying all my faith
So deceiving, lying me to waste
Controlling bodies forcing me to sin
I see the nails carving in my skin
Blood burning, moving once again
Ah flesh is yearning, yearning for the skin
Lust calling me, primal urges through
Losing all control and all I see is you
Blood burning, moving once again
Ah flesh is yearning, yearning for the skin
Lust calling me, primal urges through
Losing all control and all I see is you
Blood burning, moving once again
Ah flesh is yearning, yearning for the skin
Blood burning, moving once again
Ah flesh is yearning, yearning for the skin
Flesh controls my body
Always craving sex
Flesh - skin - muscles - fibers start to flex
Addiction of another kind, kind I can't resist
Nothing holding me back now, feeling all the things I do
Feeling - feeling - feeling the flesh that belongs to you
'Cause I'm feeling flesh
Flesh controls, flesh controls
The song "Flesh" by G.G.F.H. is a dark, intense and explicitly sexual piece that explores the overwhelming power of the flesh, and the desire to satisfy it at any cost. The song is filled with vivid imagery, describing a scene of desperation and addiction. The singer is lying alone, craving for physical contact, hearing nothing but the rain falling and the voices calling, and waiting for something to happen. The ceiling is cracked, revealing the despair and emptiness that lie beneath the surface. The blood is burning with lust, and the flesh is yearning for the skin. The body is controlled by primal urges, and everything else is lost in the overpowering sensation of flesh. The singer is crying in despair as the addiction takes over, and the visions of pleasure are destroying all faith, leaving him or her to waste.
