I Am Shell I Am Bone DEMO
Gazelle Twin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Made of iron made of stone
I am shell and I am bone
Teach the Mother's skull away
I'll tell them now
I'll tell you all.

We have no tongue
We have no choice
Now I don't care
What He said was 'light', no.

Made of concrete made of gold
I am young and I am old
Preach the Son's eternity
You tell them lies
You tell them all

You are the child
You have no choice




Now I don't care
What He said was 'light', no.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gazelle Twin’s I Am Shell I Am Bone DEMO are filled with meaning and depth. The lines “Made of iron made of stone, I am shell and I am bone” showcase the idea of a person being both tough and fragile at the same time. The song speaks on behalf of those who feel like they lack power or choice. The lyrics remind us that we're limited by external circumstances, such as our social status or position in society.


The lines, “We have no tongue, we have no choice” suggest that some people feel like they lack the ability to express themselves or influence events that affect them. Even though the singer of the song is powerful, as evidenced by the lines, "Made of concrete, made of gold, I am young and I am old," they still feel powerless.


The chorus, “Now I don't care what He said was 'light,' no,” conveys the idea that the singer of the song is, to some extent, disillusioned with the world around them. This section suggests that the singer, instead of swallowing lies or half-truths, is content to embrace their individuality and question what they are told.

We call 'em...
The Odd Engies...

It is believed that after valve abandoned their game upon their announcement of Half Life 3, hackers and exploiters have taken over the valve update network and screwing everything up.
They ported new models from Half Life and Re-Coded large parts of the game.
Players were forced to endure the 'Team Fortress Apocalypse' because if players were to abandon their games, they would be VAC banned for ever.
The reason players didn't give up was because of the ongoing sliver of hope that valve would stop these hackers...
It;s been 4 weeks now.
The worst update happened two weeks ago. The hackers called it 'The odd engie update'.They re-coded engies to have... unnatural models and large amounts of health.
They now stalk the players of tf2 through all corners of the server lists.
TC_Hydro is receiving a lot more traffic now because it's one of the very few maps safe from harm. But it's only a matter of time before they find those who cower in the shadows away from these menaces.
Those who choose to fight the hackers try to exploit their powers over the updating system.
They're trying to disguise themselves as the hackers and ask for overpowered weapons to help the struggle against the odd engies.
They've all been found and they're either turned into one of them or VAC banned.
If valve ever reads this...
Please
we need help...

Still can't believe this didn't win a Saxxy, this is hauntingly beautiful.

Any chance we'll be seeing more Odd Engies in the future? This looks like it'd make a great series.

Probably Nobody

yeah it would make a great series. RED and BLU together with the MvM robots against the odd engies
