3)T.H.C. (The Human Cell) was a crossover band from Nymburk, Czech Republic. Founded in may 1998 by Lukáš Pilař (guitar), Vladimir Petrov (drums), Vojta Říha (bass) and Maksi'Mike (vocal). All of them were experienced by different musical projects from the past.
Music of T.H.C. is based on hardcore with rap and shouted vocals and can be compared to Rage Against the Machine. In the winter of 1999 they recorded their first demo by themselves at home. Increased interest in the band led to more concert appearances in central Bohemia.
As time progressed the band started to implement more different styles to their hard music mix such as hip-hop and funk. They labeled their music as "east-side rap-cross". The lyrics in English draw the attention to social and political problems.
In december 2000 the band entered the Hostivař studio in Prague to record their first EP "Ready for Rebellion", released in january 2001 by themselves. More positive response to their new record led to more prestigious gigs. Years 2001 and 2002 were filled with many performances but in the beginning of 2003 an internal problems appeared and later that year the band dissolved or maybe actually transformed to Mindway.
Mike is now the leader of Mindway, Vojta plays with Radim Hladík's Blue Effect, Lukáš is doing sound engineering and Vladimir had his own musical projets.

Overfire
T.H.C. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Above ground
Over fill
Overfire
Newly emerged from damp rich earth
Every each inch a new sensation
Stretches me out of my head
Into his
To taste and smell myself
I'll take you up
Above ground
Over fill
Overfire
Beyond every time
More then I
Over fill
Overfire
My flesh wrapped around me
My weight on my limbs
My teeth, my hands, my heat, my breath
Down my throat
My flesh wrapped around me
My weight on my limbs
My teeth, my hands, my heat, my breath
My teeth, my hands, my heat, my breath
Down my throat
I'll take you up
Above ground
Over fill
Overfire
Out of my head
Into yours
To taste and smell myself
To taste and smell myself
Over fill
Overfire
The lyrics of T.H.C.'s song Overfire seem to be about an intense physical experience that takes the singer out of their own head and into a shared experience with someone else. The opening lines seem to suggest that the singer is going to take the listener on a journey, upwards and beyond, over fill and fire. As the song progresses, the lyrics become more sensual and focused on the body, with references to flesh, teeth, hands, heat, and breath.
The imagery suggests that the singer is experiencing some kind of physical release or transformation, emerging from the earth and into a new sensation that stretches them out of their head and into someone else's. The repeated refrain of "to taste and smell myself" reinforces the idea of a visceral experience that is centered on the body.
Overall, the lyrics of Overfire seem to evoke a kind of primal, elemental energy that is channeled through the physical body and shared with another person. The song is dense with sensory details and seems to be urging the listener to embrace the physicality of their own being.
