They quickly hocked their Dove at a local pawn shop and set out for the hills of Malta.

Back stateside, clamoring began for another mv3k album and subsequent tour. J. Weber (CEO of The VIVICorporation and creator of mv3k...as well as Ferocity the Snowman) culled the rank and file at VIVCO for people to take their place. Within six months a new band of misfits was assembled.

Now with fresher blood, the giant VIVIBot has awakened again. Members Franky Vivid, Sid Precious, Simon Fine and She Rex will delight you with their musings about all that glitters.

Massivivid... what can you say.

Massivivid Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've no illusion who I am this lightning shard of me
Cuts itself into reality
You look into my skin and pull me inside out
Right here in front of me today
I'm running faster not in fear, but because my legs won't
Stop
You've broken me so fierce
I fear my sanity's been shattered to a thousand tiny

Drops today
And if You have the time

Won't You make nothing out of me
Would You be so kind as to make nothing out of me
If I could speak weak enough to speak the weakness of my
Soul
I'd cease to speak at all
Here is the holy ground the bush is burning now,
But I dissolve today

The cage is opened now, You've pulled the doors and
Called to me still I want to be set free

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Unmade" by Massivivid are deep and meaningful, exploring themes of fear, self-discovery, and rebirth. The opening line, "I've no illusion who I am this lightning shard of me," suggests that the singer has a clear understanding of their own identity, but this self-awareness is not necessarily a comfort. The image of a "lightning shard" implies that the singer is sharp, dangerous, and potentially destructive.

The next line, "Cuts itself into reality," further emphasizes this sense of aggression and power. The singer's identity is not something they can control or shape; rather, it imposes itself on the world in a violent way. The lines "You look into my skin and pull me inside out / Right here in front of me today" suggest that the singer feels exposed and vulnerable, as though their very being is being torn apart before their eyes.

The chorus of the song shifts to a plea: "Won't You make nothing out of me / Would You be so kind as to make nothing out of me." Here, the singer seems to be asking for release from their own identity and the pain that comes with it. They are tired of feeling broken and want to be made into something new.

The final verse continues with this theme of rebirth and transformation. The line "Here is the holy ground the bush is burning now" references the story of Moses encountering God in the burning bush. The suggestion is that the singer is experiencing a similar kind of revelation or epiphany, one that will lead to their own personal liberation.

Overall, "Unmade" is a powerful song that explores complex themes of identity and transformation. It highlights the pain and fear that can come with self-discovery, while also suggesting that this struggle can ultimately lead to a kind of freedom.

Line by Line Meaning

I've no illusion who I am this lightning shard of me
I know exactly who I am, a powerful and electrifying piece of myself

Cuts itself into reality
My essence is so intense that it cuts through the fabric of reality

You look into my skin and pull me inside out
When you look at me, you see through the surface and into the core of my being

Right here in front of me today
I am present and fully aware of the current moment

I'm running faster not in fear, but because my legs won't / Stop
I am constantly moving forward, not out of fear but because I am unable to slow down

You've broken me so fierce / I fear my sanity's been shattered to a thousand tiny / Drops today
Your impact on me has been so strong that I fear I am losing my grip on reality in small, but numerous ways

And if You have the time
If you are willing to spare some of your precious time

Won't You make nothing out of me
Will you please erase me completely, leaving nothing behind?

Would You be so kind as to make nothing out of me
If it is not too much trouble, would you be willing to erase every part of me?

If I could speak weak enough to speak the weakness of my / Soul / I'd cease to speak at all
If I were to reveal the true weakness of my soul, I would no longer have the strength or ability to speak

Here is the holy ground the bush is burning now, / But I dissolve today
This moment is sacred and powerful, and I am disappearing in it completely

The cage is opened now, You've pulled the doors and / Called to me still I want to be set free
Although you have opened my cage and called me to freedom, I still long to completely break free
