In fact, some songs by the band were included in the ‘Senseless Death’ Compilation (featuring such bands as Attitude, Sacred Denial, Fear Itself, etc.), which was the very first Nuclear Blast release (October, 1987).
Face It
Impulse Manslaughter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At a time things were different then
wasn't sure what time would bring
But you knew it couldn't be the same
The feelings you had, the power they held
Knew deep down inside no matter how you tried.
It just wouldn't last, the magic would die
You hoped it wouldn't happen, didn't want it to go away
Like everything else their memory begins to fade
So much time has gone away so many things had to change
Now what are you gonna do
Sit around and mope or get off your ass
Stop feeling sorry for yourself
you know you want it back but theres nothing you can do
You've got to stop living in the past
And go on with the rest of your life
It's just fact of life
You've gotta accept the fact
That things aren't going to have to stay the same
And you're not the only one in hoping they would stay
Why can't you put as much power of your feelings
Into something useful to make an effort
To overcome and make a new life for yourself
Just because things aren't the same
Doesn't mean they can't be as good or even better
Rise above the change don't let it keep holding you back forever
Once you see you can fully control your fate
Then you'll know that you should just do the best you can
And you'll find out that that it's not so bad
At least you'll know that you gave it your best shot
The lyrics in Impulse Manslaughter's song "Face It" explore the theme of change and acceptance in life. The song seems to be directed towards someone who is struggling to let go of a past situation or relationship and move on. The opening lines of the song acknowledge that at one point in life, things were different, and the future was uncertain. However, the singer knew that things could not stay the same. They had hoped and prayed that the "magic" of the situation would remain, but it faded away like every other memory.
The chorus urges the listener to stop living in the past and accept that life is constantly changing. Sitting around and moping is not productive, and it's essential to rise above the change and move forward. The song highlights the importance of focusing on the present and building a new life for oneself. While it may not be the same as before, it can be just as good or even better. The lyrics encourage the listener to put their energy into something positive instead of dwelling on the past.
Overall, "Face It" is a poignant and relatable song that speaks to the universal struggle of accepting change and moving on with one's life.

Remembering back on your life
Recalling past events of your life
At a time things were different then
Reminiscing a time period which is now different
Wasn't sure what time would bring
Had no idea what the future had in store
But you knew it couldn't be the same
Had a feeling that change was inevitable
The feelings you had, the power they held
The emotions that were so strong and impactful
Knew deep down inside no matter how you tried.
In spite of all attempts, change was bound to happen
It just wouldn't last, the magic would die
The charm and excitement were fleeting
You hoped it wouldn't happen, didn't want it to go away
Wished and prayed for things to remain unaltered
Prayed it wouldn't happen, didn't want it to go away
Wanted change to abstain, which led to hopeless prayers
Like everything else their memory begins to fade
Recollections and memories tend to fade like everything else
So much time has gone away so many things had to change
A lot of time has passed, and innumerable alterations have occurred
Now what are you gonna do
Questioning oneself about the way forward
Sit around and mope or get off your ass
Deciding between wallowing in self-pity or being proactive
Stop feeling sorry for yourself
Avoid self-pity and look for ways to progress
You know you want it back but theres nothing you can do
Desiring the past but realizing it is not within control
You've got to stop living in the past
Needs to move past the bygone era
And go on with the rest of your life
Proceeding with the remaining life
It's just fact of life
It is a part of existence
You've gotta accept the fact
Acknowledging the truth
That things aren't going to have to stay the same
Everything has to change
And you're not the only one in hoping they would stay
Others also aspire for things to remain stable
Why can't you put as much power of your feelings
Questioning the lack of action
Into something useful to make an effort
Channeling emotions towards useful work
To overcome and make a new life for yourself
Surmount obstacles and establish a new way of living
Just because things aren't the same
The incongruity in the current and past scenario
Doesn't mean they can't be as good or even better
Opportunities for a better future are present
Rise above the change don't let it keep holding you back forever
Overcoming change and not letting it hinder future innovations
Once you see you can fully control your fate
Taking charge of life's path
Then you'll know that you should just do the best you can
Giving the best effort each time
And you'll find out that that it's not so bad
Discovering that the future isn't dreadful
At least you'll know that you gave it your best shot
Assured that no matter the outcome, gave it everything
