On January 2005 Spinefarm released "Exit"-album, which went immediately to the Finnish charts and stayed for three weeks. "Exit" also received praising reviews from different medias around the world and was claimed as one of the most important extreme releases of the year 2005. After the release of "Exit" Rotten Sound toured in Scandinavia, U.S. and went on a second headlining tour in Europe during January 2006.
Sami Latva joined Rotten Sound in February 2006 to replace long-time drummer, Kai Hahto. The band was expecting to go on a hiatus in 2006, but, thanks to Sami, could start to prepare for the next studio session immediately. They recorded eight new songs for "Consume to Contaminate"-MCD during April 2006. Lyrical content of "Consume to Contaminate" is handling again difficult issues on this globe with loads of cynisism and a touch of death.
Rotten Sound has made four full length albums, ten shorter releases, five European tours, two U.S.-tours, three scandinavian tours and is one of the leading bands in grind-core. Now "Consume to Contaminate" introduces the new heavy, aggressive and insane Rotten Sound: a band which is prepared to take destructive powers of grind-core a few big leaps ahead.
INSOMNIA
Rotten Sound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blood should have been tasted
Feelings were embraced...
When we awakened
For how long...
Have we been framed in a shell?
For how long?
The sleep was slept
All sorrows were kept
Cries were wept
Still sensing the depth
For how long
Have we been framed in a shell?
For how long?
The stopped time around us shall tell !
Embodiment of fear
Suddenly so clear
Entombment by tears...
During these years
For how long
Have we been framed in a shell?
For how long?
The stopped time around us shall tell !
The lyrics of Rotten Sound's song Insomnia describe a feeling of being trapped in a shell, unable to escape from the grief, sorrow, and fear that have been experienced. The lyrics refer to the idea that there is a time frame that frames us in a shell, ultimately hinting at the finality of life.
The first verse of the song mentions grief being faced and blood that should have been tasted, possibly referring to a loss experienced by the singer. The lyrics suggest that the character has embraced their feelings and experienced them fully. The line "when we awakened" could signify the awakening that comes from facing difficult emotions.
The chorus repeats the lines "for how long have we been framed in a shell?" and "the stopped time around us shall tell!" likely referring to the feeling of being trapped and the inability to move on from the past. The second verse continues the theme of keeping sorrows to oneself and experiencing the depth of emotions. The embodiment of fear and entombment by tears suggest that the character has been unable to break free from their emotions and that they continue to consume them.
Overall, the lyrics of Insomnia describe a state of emotional stagnation that is difficult to escape. The song seems to be a commentary on the fragility of life and the need to embrace emotions while one can.

We should have experienced violence and aggression
Feelings were embraced...
We allowed ourselves to feel and express our emotions

Our inability to move forward is a clear indication of how long we have been struggling
The sleep was slept
We have tried to escape our pain through sleep

We have not been able to fully process and release our pain
Cries were wept

Still sensing the depth
We still feel the weight of our pain and trauma
Embodiment of fear
Our fear has become a part of us and is deeply ingrained
Suddenly so clear
Our fears have become more evident and present in our lives
Entombment by tears...
Our pain and sorrow has consumed us
