There are also at least another 3 bands with the same name:
The Gates are an Alternative Rock/Experimental Rock group based in Cedar Rapids, IA. They formed in 2008 by guitarist/vocalist Erik Tarr under the name Acquiesce. Trent Hoffmann was convinced to buy a bass and join the band while Erik taught him how to play it. The band's name was changed to The Gates in 2009. John Kirchner joined the band as a drummer in late 2009. In early 2011, they released their first album "Sound", after starting to record the album in late 2010. They play locally and are always looking for more venues.
The Gates are also a Japanese thrash rock group that formed in 1999. Japanese doom master Church of Misery bassist Tatsu Mikami and previous Church of Misery singer Yoshiaki Negishi formed this band with Tokyo crust/hardcore veteran Masayasu Futatsugi. This band is just for fun, but their material got really highly valued by the underground. Their limited split with Metal Skull sold out all 500 copies in two weeks. After that release they put out their debut cd Total Death. In 2006 they put out a split '7 ep with Japanese d-beat masters Disclose.
The Gates are also a New Wave/Brit Rock group out of Bayonne, NJ that formed in 2007. They cinematic sound-scapes, effortlessly blending New Wave with Rock. While sharing styles with acts such as the Decemberists, the Pixies, and the Smiths, the Gates retain dynamic direction which underly their individual style. Led by Anthony Silva on vocals, and guitarist Bill Wood; spurring harmonies and melodies in an unpredictable fashion, while John Willoughby on bass, and drummer Steve LaMarca charge ahead with the groove; lighting up the back end. It wasn’t long until the band released their self titled EP in 2008, followed by the 2009 release of “Growing Up.” As The Gates gear up for their third release, they continuously perform in the Tri-State Area.
Chaos
The Gates Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A temple devoured, by the ancient fires
Autumn falls hard on restless flesh
Persistence buried in the sands of time
The gray man kissed the mud
Circular the ruins, in a dawn without birds
Crowned by the deities of death
Streets as cracks in the skin
To drink from the night itself
Webs of perdition, crush the rushing earth
The aching void lures, promising rebirth
Order from chaos, every thought a tool
Order from chaos, profaned by the burned and the dead
The Gates's song "Chaos" depicts a desolate and chaotic world where humans are like parasites, groveling through the dust. The temple, once a place of worship, has been devoured by the ancient fires, leaving nothing but ruins behind. Autumn falls hard on restless flesh, signifying the end of life and the arrival of death. Persistence is buried in the sands of time, suggesting that the efforts of men are ultimately futile.
The gray man kissed the mud, symbolizing the arrival of death. The ruins are circular, and there are no birds to be heard in the dawn. The deities of death have crowned the ruins, indicating that the world has succumbed to darkness and destruction. The streets are like cracks in the skin, and people seek to drink from the night itself. However, webs of perdition crush the rushing earth, and the aching void lures them, promising rebirth.
"Order from chaos, every thought a tool, profaned by the burned and the dead." This line suggests that even in chaos, there is order, and that humans have the ability to create order from chaos. However, even though every thought can be a tool, there are some who will not be able to make sense of the world and who will succumb to a state of profanity. The burned and the dead, who have lost their way, will never be able to find order.
Line by Line Meaning
As parasites we grovel, through the dust
We act like parasites, crawling on the ground, among the dust
A temple devoured, by the ancient fires
The fire of the gods destroyed a temple
Autumn falls hard on restless flesh
The cold autumn days test our patience and persistence
Persistence buried in the sands of time
Our persistence is lost and forgotten in the flow of time
The gray man kissed the mud
A dying man falls to the ground
Circular the ruins, in a dawn without birds
The ruins are endless and deserted
Crowned by the deities of death
The gods of death rule over us
Streets as cracks in the skin
The streets are like scars on the earth's skin
To drink from the night itself
We want to take in the fullness of darkness and the unknown
Webs of perdition, crush the rushing earth
The traps of our own creation destroy the world
The aching void lures, promising rebirth
The emptiness attracts us and promises new beginnings
Order from chaos, every thought a tool
We can create order from chaos by using our thoughts as tools
Order from chaos, profaned by the burned and the dead
Even though order can be created from chaos, it can never hide the destruction and devastation left behind
