Totally subjective, obviously.

I say Voivod, though. If you liked Philip K. Dick, it's a nobrainer.

1. Experiment

Loud echoes from the end
Nothing but a flat lie
All I need is a new world
Create my universe
The four basic forces
Are ready and fixed
All set to prove myself
It really exists
Risk it, try it, find it !
If my body cannot stand
Don't wanna be born again
I have enough of my land
Putting myself in this project
Within a space that's still secret
Am I to blame for future fate ?
A ball of energy
Vortex around me
I have to realize
My theory is wise
The four basic forces
Are ready and fixed
All set to prove myself
It really exists
Risk it, try it, find it !
I think I've found the way
I wanna move not stay
Time is fast and so unsafe
Conquest is what I can expect
Without frontiers there's no respect
The less you give the more I take
Burst getting stronger
In atoms smasher
Powerful magnets
Interchanges the mass
Annihilation, a full reaction
The protons travel
In a big circle
Meeting in this race
Their mirror-image
Dematerialized
Body lost its size
Tube without exit
No way out of it
Micro-galaxies
A lot more to see
Magnetic fusion
My self-creation
I'm in the machine
Going through my dreams
Dimension Hatröss
Dimension Hatröss

2. Brain Scan

No sun for the grey children
Waiting to catch the strange
Airy notions of that place
Now they evolutions
Means their brain mutations
The wider is the comprehension
The deeper and stronger is the illusion
They're no more material
Since they're invisible
High pressure inside me
Erasure, I'm empty
With their talk, they fill me
Now I walk, so brainy
Who's in my head, hiding themselves
It hurts me so, it's a brainscan
Who's it instead, instead myself
I hate it so, it's a brain scan
Creeping in your double mind
There's nothing they can't find
You've lost all your energy
Not able to set you free
They will own you just like me
Just like me, just like me...
High pressure inside me
Erasure, I'm empty
With their talk, they fill me
Now I walk, so brainy
Some times I feel
Their cold presence
Checking my mind, it's a brain scan
Sometimes my soul
Can't reach a sense
This head is mine, it's a brain scan
Don't ask'em to give a break
You can't even close the gate
Passing through both hemispheres
Searching in all memories
Knowing what's inside of me
Side of me, side of me....
Perceptive entity
Emotive synergy
Hyper-detection
Suck out the reason
Is there something I could feel
Translucid language
Reflect the new age
Words are a limitation
Locking me out of my skull
Something without physical
Disturbing my frequency
Terminate identity
Out of me, out of me...


3. Psychic Vacuum

Still twisting and suggesting
Some passengers
Play with my nerves
It paralyses dexterity
Inculcating anxiety
Can compromise my reason
Reach out of trance
How could I stop the entrance
Over the stress
I have to find the weakness
Involve a quest
Between my mind and myself
Head is like a burning house
What can I do for my rescue
Inverse the strike to take the lead
Then following what I believe
Ain't got the same conception
I'm now able
To push those spirits outside
My thought is free
And forever lives in me
Psychic transfer
I've stolen their unique power
Nothing can stop the evacuation
Nothing can stop the psychic vacuum

4. Cosmic Drama

Lost in a shadow
The planet rolls like a ball
Darkness will follow
And soon the whole thing will fall
Coz now I'm able
To see the little light
Coz now I'm able
To know what's in the sky
Ground is shaking
And it's still far away
Sure it's coming
The drama is on its way
Coz this is much faster
Than a runaway star
Too brilliant
To watch it with my eyes
Radical abortion
Impulsive conclusion
All things good
Get their end
Even vast, no man's land
Too many reasons
Too much oppression
My mind's mutation
With my psychic power
Imploring the quasar
There is no freedom
No satisfaction
I want some action
With my psychic power
Everything is over
That's why I do that
That's why it's a fact
Why do I regret
Nothing better yet
Sky is red and nature
Falls in disgrace
Space is dread
There's no place to be safe
The quasar is coming
Ordered by my mind
Spreading X-rays
Making the system blind
Astral rotation
Turning the wrong way
Solar collision
Causing the end of this age
Comets flying
Emanating a gas
Intoxicating every form of life
For a lost dimension
Have a wise solution
Better now than never
Don't need more, you neither

[chorus]
The final process
Hard and so complex
Reverse the motion
Adding some tension
Setting the machine
Awaiting to leave
My bones and my soul
On my way back home
Have a look behind
Nothing more to find....


5. Facing Up

Why do you wish to live in an ideal world?
Why do you think, that God will always be there?
Is it so hard to see things like they are?
Maybe one day, you'll stop living in a dream
Maybe not

Why religion, or magic or anything else?
What do you mean, love is not all we need?
Is it so hard to look at death every day?
Maybe one day, you may say this is for real
Maybe not

Facing up
Maybe not
Facing up
What if not?

So many problems of science involved
Complexity and basic principles
Observations of the empty space
Still searching for the final theory
Yeah the final theory
About our fate
Destiny
The dark energy

Facing up
Maybe not
Facing up
What if not?


6. Blame Us

Science fascination
Sinful believers
Species in mutation
Sordid disorders

Our leaders missed the point
Forced to dominate and destroy
To get what people want
Cultural coded society

Secret monster machines
Evolve in our spirits
Deeper in mind, digging
To find the ultimate

Deathwatch entertainment
Predictable near-misses
Is this what people want?
One blind reflex society

On the planet, blame us,
In my time, we didn't care enough

New world lies convention
High risk policies
One speech on total power
Leading to suicide

Our leaders missed the point
Forced to dominate and destroy
It's not what people want
It's not what's called society

On the planet, blame us
In my time, we didn't care enough
In my time?


7. Real Again?

The deal is on the table
I'm happy, but scared
There is no reason why
It should be no sweat
And in the end
I'll find my way home
When I climb up the stairs
Will I be the same one?

Sick as always
This is turning insane
I'm not wasting my time
This one goes overnight

Cool as always
I do things my way
I'm not ruining my life
And this city haunts me again

If you're in, I'm in
Is this real again? Yes!

We'll keep our plan
The way it is
And if something turns bad
I hope God is next door
I am a good soldier
I'll fight until the end
You gotta be careful, full
I've got a broken hand

Broke as always
I get dough where I can
I also have bad sides
When I walk through the night

Dead as always
I'm reborn every day
I don't know what's inside
But this city haunts me again

If you're in, I'm in
Is this real again? Yes!


8. Rebel Robot

You don't decide
What's wrong, what's right
You can't define what's good, what's not
You have to hide all your feelings
Having opinions can be your worst enemy

You will respond without asking
You will perform like all of them
You will behave as predicted
Being a rebel, and it's the purgatory

What about your ego
How did it end up so low
You have been robotized

It's what you eat, it's what you wear
Look around you, it's everywhere
In every action, in every move
A vague impression, having the right to choose

What about your ego
How did it end up so low
Like a seed, it will grow
In your head, it will glow
You have been robotized

You wear the freedom while a child is working
You taste a kingdom while the trees are falling
Loud voice and clear messages
The demons are so creative

There is a little matrix in everyone


9. The Multiverse

An eternal mystery
Has been discovered
It is now reality
Never say never
I've been working hard
Down in my basement
I don't know where I am
Where I've been sent

Now if I get it right
I'm trapped in the other side

Esoteric questions
Have been answered
What really matters
Is the anti-matter

Now am I lost in time?
Or caught in the other side
In parts or whole
I'm in this hole
Will I spend my life?
Locked in the other side

The Multiverse

I've moved the time from space
Based on action
I've made only one mistake
I tried it on

If I get it right
I'm trapped in this other side
In parts or whole
I'm all alone
Am I lost in time?
Or caught in this other side
It's in my head
I might be dead
Am I losing my mind?
Locked in this other side
I am losing my mind
Forever, this other side

The Multiverse

As I knew I would have to, I take the deafening silence as universal agreement.

Triple Ho, Monday, 3 January 2005 01:49 (twenty years ago)

So, why do you say Philip K. Dick? That last song clearly is an homage to Michael Moorcock.

/|\(FYI--you're likely to get more responses here if you post Fall lyrics and champ ME Smith)/|\

Michael Moorcock is the English Philip K. Dick in my world of making things fit to my satisfaction.

FYI, I expected about zero real responses and perhaps less than 20 mockeries.

Triple Ho, Monday, 3 January 2005 03:48 (twenty years ago)

The lyrics are kinda Hawkwindy.

Ian John50n (orion), Monday, 3 January 2005 03:54 (twenty years ago)

"what really matters / is the anti-matter"

Even better realization: English is their second language as French Canadians.

three years pass...

they are up there, for sure

A. Begrand, Tuesday, 19 February 2008 07:53 (seventeen years ago)

I didn't really love the self-titled record until I got into the lyrics.

Nate Carson, Tuesday, 19 February 2008 12:01 (seventeen years ago)

one year passes...

i ask my kindred spirit "why do i dream of kites?"

two months pass...

angel or rat -- does one really know? the idiot walks along along a canvas
blue oyster cult, ween, and these guys

Maybe one day, you'll stop living in a dream
Maybe not

MAYBE NOT.

Daniel, Esq., Friday, 8 January 2010 20:11 (fifteen years ago)

does one really know?

kamerad, Friday, 8 January 2010 20:15 (fifteen years ago)

On this train
Will it always rain?
Try to analyze
This led venture
Songless sky, digital bug-eye
Octogonal seams so much clearer
Indiscrete, status incomplete
To provide me with
Something better

"unknown knows" is so great

jealous ones sb (M@tt He1ges0n), Friday, 8 January 2010 20:32 (fifteen years ago)

some of my favorite riffing of all time in that song.

Herodcare for the Unborn (J0hn D.), Friday, 8 January 2010 21:01 (fifteen years ago)

They hired an English speaking scifi poet to translate the lyrics for Nothingface. Some of their very best work.

Nate Carson, Friday, 8 January 2010 21:53 (fifteen years ago)

Just one hour, not too much oxygen!
Just half an hour, not too much oxygen!
You're forgotten in space! Forgotten in Space! In space!

Nate Carson, Friday, 8 January 2010 21:54 (fifteen years ago)

Go shit! I'm not a fish"

I was just gonna post this!

Race Against Rockism (Myonga Vön Bontee), Monday, 11 January 2010 22:32 (fifteen years ago)

five years pass...

First album has some excellently nonsensical lyrics:

Riding, crashing, charging
Run to the wrong side in the night
Bastard, savage prowler
Whip the engine for more power
Fast winds, highway, hell song
Feel the fog in the black storm
Darkness, black walls, shadows
Can't see the light on the road
Alone in a haunted
Concrete foundation
Abandoned and possessed
In a ghostly mansion
Desert, ghost town, bare land
Dark street, create a fear
Closed lamps, curfews
Dead leaves
The black cat awaits the witch
Don't stay in black city
Your soul will catch the spell

Capitalism Is A Death Cult And Science Is A Whore (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Tuesday, 10 November 2015 11:58 (nine years ago)

Or

My lands are infectious
Your sun begin to gloom
You see my harmful country
And my sky is black today
Pay the price for your life
Your ticket to open gate to die

VOIVOD ! I'm a paranoid
VOIVOD ! The wine of blood
VOIVOD ! I'm a crazy god
VOIVOD ! The ferocious dog

My eyes fix your soul
I like it cos it's too late to go
When I relish, I'm a beast
When I torture, You freeze
And if you see your angel
Contaminate him with cancer

I'm a nuclear creature
For atomic fight
Come with me in my spider line
In the black hole of the night
Your visit is short today
Don't worry in the terror you stay
And if you don't trust me
I'll chop your body to eat

Capitalism Is A Death Cult And Science Is A Whore (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Tuesday, 10 November 2015 11:59 (nine years ago)

In the smoke of combat
No gods give you the guts

You see the fire in the sky
The bombs fall by your side
I put powder in my gun
Let me free, let me run

Armed with swords and hash
I run, kill and fight
I remove the knife in your sore
I believe in the death's call
I live to kill, create war and pain
You die for fire, burns in flames
Our disaster is not complete today
We make no differents because
You fall in fate
The war punishes, and pain resists
The wildness shouts
The blood burst out
We're going in hell tonight
For another loud attack
And you see in the mist
Black flag is on my mast
The cannons creep
In your desert to kill
And no defense, no forces
You're the bloodlust victims
In the smoke of combat
No gods gives you the guts.
