Sister Machine Gun founder Chris Randall and guitarist Miguel Turanzas are, without a doubt, one of music's hardest working duos. In addition to recording, producing, and touring, they also run their own record label, Positron! Records. Not simply a vehicle for SMG, the label has unleashed 17 releases including albums from Van Christie (Die Warzau), Matt Walker (Filter/Smashing Pumpkins/Cupcakes) and Mike Fisher (Machines of Loving Grace).
SMG's extensive catalog explores just about every genre of modern music, from electro-funk dance to Hendrix-flavored industrial strength rock. Their seventh release, Influence, is an elektro-industrial tour-de-force that recalls the industrial sound of the late eighties and early nineties. Heavy beats, distorted guitars and pounding synth lines drag your favorite sounds kicking and screaming into the future.
Sister Machine Gun's catalog of critically acclaimed albums includes four on the pioneering Wax Trax! label: Sins Of The Flesh (1992), The Torture Technique (1994), Burn (1995), and Metropolis (1997); plus three on their own Positron! Records: [R]evolution (1999) sistermachinegun: 6.0 (2001) and Influence (2003). The liner notes of these albums read like a veritable Who's Who of modern music, and include Reeves Gabrels (David Bowie/Tin Machine), Sascha & En Esch (KMFDM), Charles Levi (Thrill Kill Kult/Pigface), Gino Lenardo (Filter), Scott Churilla (The Rev. Horton Heat), Matt Walker (Filter/Smashing Pumpkins/Cupcakes), and Jim Marcus & Van Christie (Die Warzau).
With fans that treat the band as a religion, and an online presence second to none, Sister Machine Gun are Chicago's Ambassadors of Industrial.
Everybody
Sister Machine Gun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody cries
Everybody has their hopes
Everybody tries
Everybody loses
Everybody wins
Everybody has their reasons
Everybody goes to pieces
Everybody knows their rights
Everybody has their worries
Everybody fights
Everybody bleeds
Everybody lies
Everybody has their moment
Then everybody dies
Everybody hangs together
Everybody comes apart
Everybody has a problem
Everybody makes a start
Everybody knows their limits
Everybody waits
Everybody loves somebody
But everybody hates
Everybody works an angle
Everybody plays the game
Everybody has a message
Everybody takes the blame
Everybody bleeds
And everybody lies
Everybody has their moment
Then everybody dies
The lyrics of "Everybody" by Sister Machine Gun speak of the human experience, both the good and the bad. The song acknowledges that everyone has a range of emotions - we all laugh, we all cry, we all hope and we all try. We all have successes and failures, we all have our own motivations and shortcomings. Despite our differences, we are all the same in that we all have something in common, which is our humanity. We all have moments of weakness, we all struggle with our own problems, we all have our own battles to fight. We all have something to prove, and we all make mistakes. Ultimately, the song reminds us that we all share a common fate, which is that we will all die one day.
The lyrics are a reminder that the human experience is universal -- we all go through similar situations and emotions in life, regardless of our individual circumstances. This song is an anthem for unity and understanding among people. It's a call to recognize and empathize with the struggles of others, and to find common ground in our shared experiences.
