Messiah (UK band):
Formed in 1988 during London's acid house craze by college friends Ali Ghani and Mark Davies, Messiah's brand of rave techno encompasses the aggression and volume of punk and the diva vocals of house music. When Ghani and Davies met at an Iggy Pop concert, the two decided to purchase some electronic equipment and make music for fun; when musical chemistry became evident, they began to get into the English techno and rave scene. After the release of 1993's Temple of Dreams, their first full-length U.S. album, 21st Century Jesus, was released one year later. Messiah Meets Progenitor followed in 1998 and saw a fairly dramatic shift in style. The introduction of guitars into the mix pushed their sound more towards that of Jesus Jones, Pop Will Eat Itself or later Prodigy.
Messiah (Swiss metal band):
Messiah is a death/thrash metal band from Switzerland. The band is best known for their first two full-length albums, Hymn to Abramelin and Extreme Cold Weather. Messiah's debut album, Hymn to Abramelin, was released in 1986 through Chainsaw Murder Records. Their sophomore LP, titled Extreme Cold Weather, came out in 1987 and was re-issued on CD three years later by Nuclear Blast. The release also contained the band's debut album. The band then managed to sign to a German major metal label, Noise Records, which released their next album, Choir of Horrors, in 1991. Messiah released two more albums, Rotten Perish and Underground, through Noise, but disbanded in the mid-1990's.
After a long break Messiah reunited, first to perform a few secret shows in 2017, but then decided to write new material in 2018, and released a new album in September 2020. Since 2018 also, they are back on stage and play live again. Their newest album Christus Hypercubus is set to be released on March 1, 2024.
Anorexia Nervosa
Messiah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Age of quandary
Sorrow and worries
Disagreement
Predicament
I enigmatize
I lose my appetite, day in day out
My body's deeply marked, I'm undernourished
Mental changes, my mind is splitting
Inferiority complexes, time to confess
Pride and power, is giving me the hunger
Depr4ession and apathy, is changing my spirit
Time to go hungry
It gives me great joy
Pleasure and satisfaction
To fight against
My hunger pangs
Gives me pride
Feeling of sheer terror
To see me in the mirror
I could be so fat
Every pound I lose
Helps me on the course
To my sheer perfection
I don't realize how bad my body's feeling
My eyes see only my perfect slim body
But really I'm a half-starved skeleton
The lyrics of Messiah's song "Anorexia Nervosa" describe the experiences and thoughts of someone struggling with anorexia, an eating disorder characterized by an intense fear of gaining weight, a distorted body image, and a refusal to maintain a healthy weight. The song starts by describing the time of puberty as a challenging time when worries and concerns about self-image begin to emerge, leading to disagreement and a predicament. The singer expresses how they feel enigmatic, as if their mind and body are not aligned.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become more intense, describing the physical and mental effects of anorexia. They describe how weakness has overcome their body and brain, causing them to lose their appetite and become deeply undernourished, all while their mind is splitting into inferiority complexes, depression, and apathy. The singer finds joy and satisfaction in being hungry and fighting against their hunger pangs, depicting how starving oneself can become a source of pride and a means of achieving perfection.
The song also highlights the feeling of sheer terror that comes with looking in the mirror, feeling like they could be so fat while still being a half-starved skeleton. These lyrics convey the severe and dangerous nature of anorexia and its effects on both physical and mental health, emphasizing the importance of seeking help.
