Centigrade
Soul Extract Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Into the cold that never ends
Mechanical feelings are shutdown
What did you hope to find
Adrift and lost in time
Is this the end
Ready to begin
Excavating within until salvation
No longer pretend the future's a lie
From a past you cannot hide
Erasing the memories with entropy
A fight to the death dissolve the enemy
Atoms detach and fall away
Holding on to the pieces you've become
Just let go
In the event horizon of your soul
So hollow
Will you find another way to hide
From the monster locked deep inside
That always comes for you
Brace for the centigrade
Supernova activate
Mercury rising
Higher and climbing
Burn and incinerate
Dark matter you contain
Forging a new life
Erasing what you used to be
Slowly ascending
Out of endless viscosity
Traces of malady dripping down
But still you hold on tight
With everything inside
Is this the end
Ready to begin
Holding on to the pieces you've become
Just let go
In the event horizon of your soul
So hollow
Are you real
Or are you synthesized
Programmed for nothing but to expire
Brace for the centigrade
Supernova activate
Mercury rising
Higher and climbing
Burn and incinerate
Dark matter you contain
Forging a new life
Erasing what you used to be
The fire fusing the broken seams burns inside
Burns inside
Crushing under the gravity of this star light
This star light
Breaking down your reality just in time
Just in time
Crushing under the gravity of this star light
Brace for the centigrade
Supernova activate
Mercury rising
Higher and climbing
Burn and incinerate
Dark matter you contain
Forging a new life
Erasing what you used to be

These guys are one of my favorite FiXT artists. I can only hope for a vinyl or cd release instead of a digital only version. Hint hint to all at FiXT. Digital media doesn't do anything for us collectors.

From what I can tell, it's just not worth the cost for CD releases unless there's a good enough demand.

@Physics_Hacker This is true. But as you know there is nothing like holding the physical copy and reading the liner notes from the vinyl or cd. I guess this new era of listeners doesn't get what collecting records and cds is all about. I feel sorry for them. I just bought all 3 Fight the Fade cds while sitting at work this morning. I've got most of the entire FiXT label in my collection already, be it on vinyl or cd.
