1) Root is a Czech metal legend from city of Brno founded in 1987 by Big Boss and Blackie. Root was one of the original pre-second-wave black metal bands, following in the footsteps of Bathory and Venom, while taking the genre in a more refined, less savage direction. Their style has since progressed towards a more epic, dark heavy metal sound with a clean-sung vocal approach, but their music can still be recognized as black metal at its core due to the unchanged ideology of the band. After the album Madness of the Graves (2003), Blackie left Root to concentrate on his band Cales. Blackie also played in side-project Entrails, an old school black-thrash metal band.

Who're They?
Root Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even the thoughts of the unborn
I can feel their touch when i dream
When dreams come true
They talk to me, they sing to me
I blend with their breath
I become one of them
Once i will not Return
These lyrics from Root's song "Who're They?" are complex and enigmatic, touching on themes of death, the afterlife, and spirituality. The singer claims to have access to the thoughts of both the dead and the unborn, suggesting a deep connection to the spiritual realm. Additionally, the singer expresses a sense of closeness with this realm, saying they can feel the touch of the dead when they dream, and that they become "one of them" when they blend with their breath.
The lyrics also suggest a reluctance to return to the mortal world, with the singer stating they "don't want to go back". This could be interpreted as a desire to remain in the afterlife, or as a commentary on the difficulties of living in the world of the living, as opposed to the supposedly more peaceful realm of the dead. Finally, the lyrics end with the striking declaration that the singer will not return, leaving the listener to ponder what this might mean for them.
Line by Line Meaning
I know the thoughts of the dead
I possess knowledge of the ideas harbored by those who have departed from this world
Even the thoughts of the unborn
I have the capability to comprehend the unspoken musings of the yet-to-be-born
I can feel their touch when i dream
In my dreams, I am imbued with the tactile sensations of these beings
When dreams come true
This state of being is realized whenever I experience a lucid dream
They talk to me, they sing to me
These entities communicate with me both verbally and rhythmically through song
I blend with their breath
Through connection, my breath becomes harmonious with theirs, symbolizing unity
I become one of them
As I merge with their essence, I lose my sense of individuality and assimilate into their collective
I don't want to go back
I prefer to remain in this altered state of consciousness rather than return to the mundane reality of everyday life
Once i will not Return
Someday, inevitably, I will transcend to a realm beyond our mortal understanding and will not come back

Ricki-tick-ity, you're gonna hear it from me!
The only one winning this is C-O-D!
Pimpin' like a king, sippin' lemonade in the shade!
Kickin' it Hawaiian style, gonna take home the cheddar!
We're gonna be all smiles!
Shawty!
*spoken* Hey! How come he gets to sing?
He doesn't! Harold!
Ricki-ticki-ticki-tody, give it up for my man Cody!
Harold's in the house spittin' rhymes like a roadie, a roadie!
Gwen's a boyfriend stealer!
Ricki-tick, whoa!
Duncan's a dead man!
Ricki-tick, oh, no!

@Poke Jack oh yeah, well if Heather deserves it then how good is she?
In Total Drama Island:
She read Gwen’s Diary.
She bossed Beth and Lindsay around in an unfair alliance.
She ripped Gwen’s skirt on international television (At least it distracted the Killer Bass).
She lied to Trent about Gwen and kissed him in front of her.
She betrayed Lindsay when she got eliminated.
She cheated to make sure Gwen loses.
In Total Drama Action:
She did very little to deserve to keep Harold’s trust.
She exposed Gwen’s behavior into helping the Killer Grips after she told them to vote out Trent.
She stole a lock of Courtney’s hair to get herself new hair.
In Total Drama World Tour (this season):
She sold Team Amazon (her own team) out to the Zing Zings. She tried to Kill Cody for building Gwen’s head out of wood.
She said she would stop being enemies with Alejandro in Drumheller, but she voted him out on him (although he should’ve gotten eliminated there).
And she refused to help Cody and Sierra while heading to Hawaii.
Heather’s an overall jerk!
