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.
Inside
Sister Machine Gun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're everything I want to be
I want to lay right down beside you
In my fucked up fantasy
I don't know what it is about you
I never seemed to need before
But I can't seem to live without you
Don't know what I'm fighting for
I want to be inside you
I want to be the one temptation
That is good enough for you
I can't take humilation
But there's nothing I can do
I don't know what it is about you
That is everything I need
And I just don't know where you're going
But I'll follow where you lead
I want to be inside you
The lyrics of "Inside" by Sister Machine Gun express a deep yearning for someone that the singer desires to be close to, physically and emotionally. The first verse describes an intense desire to "get right down inside" the other person and be close to them in a "fucked up fantasy." The lyrics convey both a physical and emotional desire to be with the person, although the exact nature of this desire is left open to interpretation. The singer admits that they don't know what it is about this person that they need, but they feel that they can't live without them.
In the second verse, the singer expresses a desire to be the "one temptation" that is good enough for the other person. They fear humiliation and rejection, but still can't help following the person and being drawn to them. Again, the lyrics express a desire to be close to the other person both physically and emotionally.
Overall, the lyrics of "Inside" are intense, raw, and passionate. They capture the feeling of a deep yearning for someone else that is hard to explain or understand. The way that the lyrics are written is intentionally ambiguous, leaving room for interpretation and allowing listeners to bring their own experiences and emotions to the song.

how little life there is around
how poor is our existence
i see an objective of every artist in our time
to make our life richer - more events,
more laughter, more impressions. Richer
in all senses.
