Lyrics:
Rational Gaze
Squint your eyes to see clearly
Blur reality to make it real
Let focus go from your deceiving eyes to know what's been concealed
We've all been blinded
Subjects to visual misinformation
A systematic denial of the crystalline
To see the fine grain, to read the hidden words
The context of parallel truth
Devoid of fragmentation
Our light-induced image of truth
Filtered blank of its substance
As our eyes won't adhere to intuitive lines
Everything examined, separated, one thing at a time
The harder we stare
The more complete the disintegration
Dissolution
Eyes re-opened
Reasoning focalized
Receptors activated
Perspectives distorted
The ladder beyond our grasp
The twin-headed serpent forever hidden
Where's the true knowledge
Where engines of the sane and insanity merge
The clarity, the unity
Reality untouchable, transparent
Invisible to our fixed, restricted fields of vision
Existence taken for granted
Absolute
Possessed, owned, controlled
By the common sense-infected rational gaze
Onward forever we walk among the ignorant
Never stray from the common lines.

Other bands: "Let's spend tons of money for a cinematic music video"
Meshuggah: "Let's just fuck around with a camera lol"
"Is it all Jens?"
"Always has been"
Meshuggah's sense of humor is a big part of what makes them so approachable, in my opinion. This music video says a lot about what it would be like to just hang with them, maybe have a drink and a chat.
I got to kick it with Meshugga at a show and you are absolutely correct. They are as cool and down to earth as can be. Zero pretention, 100% Good Vibes.
+Rogueofmv Looking at this makes think about Infant Annihilator - Decapitation Fornication
Not taking yourself too serious is a big part of being approachable :)
+Rogueofmv its because they're swedish
Rogueofmv #yeah... they had hanging out with you in mind when they made this video.

Hugh Janus well im an athiest so how am i soppossed to know that

No one puts out a better music video than Meshuggah.
Bring back the plague
Or Jens himself lmaoo
@@philippmuller-litz401that tops anything else ill say
Jens filmed most of this by himself when left in the studio one time. The rest is the band found it and decided to make it the official video for this song.
Struggling garage band spends 4 days on music video: 50 views
Jens decides to record while drunk 1 night: 1 million views
Struggling garage band looks at each other: *RAGEQUITS*
Bic Boi Nekrogoblikon trying to find a gimmick:-87654321M views
meshuggah played for like 20 years before they got popular, which is a lot more effort than a garage band using 4 days on a video.
Soul
as an introvert i can confirm this is what we do when we are alone
Hahaha lol
Film ourselves?
Lmfao
Manager: New Millenium Cyanide Christ was way too expensive with $10. We were way over budget! We need to go even cheaper!
Jens: But...
Manager: Make it work! Go, now!
Jens: dafuq?
1:42 "i like juice, it is a true filtered vitamin substance"
Nate Gariepy thats Awesome dude😂😂😂
Who doesn't like juice?
i hear it to, but orginal lyrics of this part is: our light induced image of truth filtered blank of this substance
I like juice finish your juice
YEAH
Jens Kidman predicted lockdown
haha its too right
How do
How so
Lol
Nothing better than an awesome band with an awesome sense of humor.
glad there are still some bands with a sense of humour, everything is always so serious
I have no job
I have no money
I have no car
But I'm in Meshuggah :P epic
Meshuggah: Rational Jens
Looks like an irrational Jens to me :'D
The master of the home music video, Jens Kidman!
This is probably, in my opinion, one of the best music videos ever produced. And I think it's great that he likes juice.
meshuggah the only band that are so awesomme that they only need 240p videos to make people happy :D
I always hear, "I like juice, its your juice filtered vitamin substance" every single time. I know those aren't the lyrics but that's all I hear unless I REALLY pay attention.
Price of production, $7.45.. (They ordered a pizza for the set)
Damn! That’s some cheap pizza.
$7.45? Gunna be hungry working on one slice 😢
Holy shit I thought they were all the band members but its only the vocalist wearing wigs and playing instruments. Thats fucking great.
1:27 JOHN CENA FIGHT ME
Misheard Meshuggah lyrics are the fucking best xD I'm always high as shit when I read through the comments so I laugh at them way harder than I should lmfao.
Next morning:
Fredrik: "Why does my guitar have stains all over it? Is this saliva? Have you been shooting a music video again Jens?"
Comedy isn't your strong suit maybe stick with minecraft
@@billfujsteen7064 Hahahaha! We don't need comedy when we have natural imbeciles like you! Nice job upvoting your own comment.
was this the world's first "Selfie" music video?
"I have no job
I have no money
I have no car
But I´m in a band!"
Nice t. Cute hair.
The air drumming on this clip is better than Lars's real drumming
Sad but true
Paul Gooding
Oohhhhhh....I see what you did there... You a playah?
Big time bro, big time
+john doe "real" drumming
*****
No, come on, that's too harsh...
I think every band should have at least one music video like this.
yeah, but does it Jens?
i don't get it
***** lol im a fan of course i know jens but its pronounced yens so it dont sound like djent.
wait, so djent. gent... is .. yenz? really? im serious. not deejent, silent d gent. just.. yens? heart drops, yet rises uponnreply
Their metal genre is Meshuggah. They've been around way before djent was djent.
100% yes can Jens xddddd
177 people aren't down with the Juice.
+Brave Undead I LIKE JUICE
David Draiman " .... huh, can you feel it?" DUHDUH DUHDUH DUHDUH DUH DUH DUH
oops wrong band with baldhead vocalist :D
Love that vicious brutal beat and growling 8-string along with the savage vocals. So beautiful nothing even comes close
These guys. They must love their job so much.
"I like juice. Finish your juice. Filtered vitamin substance." And then later "Everything is salmon." Cannot unhear. There's no turning back.
The lyrics have lots of powerful messages hidden within. So yes, Meshuggah has feeling and emotion like any other band. It just happens to take a good amount of skill to comprehend and play.
3:45 ish, when he licks his thumb.... makes me laugh out loud every time... so goood!
I love how this video makes it seem as though Jens is just making funny faces and doing random stuff. But, if you sync the first few seconds of air-drumming parts to the audio of a copy of this video, you'll see that he's hitting all the right rhythms, mouthing the lyrics, and fretting the correct notes on the guitars.
These guys are sick, I really can't understand how they can remember all these songs. Not only are they really mathimatically and insanely hard, but they are so similar to eacher other as well!
Someone brought that up a long time ago and now I hear that every time I listen to this song.
Still better than most of the metal videos
Congratulations Nuclear Blast, this video has now been out of synk for 12 years.
groovin with the juice
really liking the creativity this band puts into their songs.. very simply, musical elements are manipulated to create a different musical experience.. hence i seriously feel they are ahead of their time in that sense.
I understand what you are saying, and I respect your opinions. However to many(me included), this does sound harmonious. As a guitar player for 7 years I appreciate the incredible amount of skill that Meshuggah has to even play this song with all of its odd time signatures. Meshuggah certainly is not an easy band to digest if your a new listener, it may even sound chaotic. Just know, these guys are amazingly skilled.
Meshuggah = Mind fuck music
The way jens runs around with the camera just shows their sense of humor, which makes me love them even more xD
3:41 - 3:47
Freddrik comes back, "Why is my guitar wet?"
Jens,"ohhh, about that..."
For a legitimate *Swedish* guy, *Jens* looks like that cool & friendly uncle from *Texas.*
1:41 I like juice. It's a true filtered vitamin substance
lol this is the actual lyric Our light induced image of truth
Filtered blank of its substance
LOL
Im 37 married & 3 kids. and have been listening to meshuggah since the early 90's. You probably just don,t get them which is cool but sad. There is nothing like the thick sweet noise that is MESHUGGAH \m/
Can they just make every music video from the new album Jens only?
Their newer music videos are cool, but I'd do anything for them to make another low budget one.
+No one here Totally agree. I love the low-budge. The "Bleed" music video is just so epic though. Fantastic production.
everything examined, one piece at a time.. this video is gold.
Got into meshuggah awhile ago, i now rank them among my favorite bands.
and i just found out they come from my area, i always thought they came from outer space.
his guitar is on point, but that drumming.. you can only pretend to Haake for so long. I love you Meshuggah. please keep on
I bet his mom gets scared every time he Skype calls her.
I love how these guys are fucking powerful, yet never take themselves seriously when filmed
I have no job
I have no money
I have no car
but I'm in a band
and thats perfectly alright with me
Meshuggah somehow manages to go from brutal as fuck to funny as fuck and back to brutal as fuck in the same god damn song.
*starts homework* *finds this band* "Fuck." *headbanging uncontrollably*
+teznomc Dunno what level homework, high school, college... You'll definitely find yourself devoting time listening to this band. Good luck with your studies.
ashley randall Spiral out \m/
... and perfect circle xD
headbang forever
+ashley randall dude I love tool but fuck apc only good songs are pet and outsider
Its nice to see a Heavy Metal band with a sense of humour. Not trying to act tough.
Shuggah' FTW
I love that he ran out of wigs and just put 2 on for Tomas.
That's fucking awesome. I just started listening to these guys, and that definitely seals the deal on me liking them. Great music and a damn fine sense of humor, I'm in :)
This is how I found this band, this is EPIC.
10 year old me after getting a camcorder for Christmas:
this video cost a hot and ready and a box of natural light to film
Criminally underrated comment but then again this video is dead lmao
That's what I love about Meshuggah, they defy definition, and change on an album to album basis.
If you're arguing that Meshuggah did not create a genre in Djent you are simply wrong. Even if they wouldn't really be classified as a Djent band, the genre itself spawned from Meshuggah more so than any other band.
I always knew jens kidman was the real mastermind behind the music of meshuggah.
Best music video ever
I can just imagine Jens being up at like 3am recording this video on a shitty old camcorder with no permission from the other band members... Fuck I love Meshuggah.
Nothing like headbangin to this song while taking a shit in a bar bathroom lol.
You coudl really feel the passion and emotion coming through on that guitar solo.
Pure, beautiful art
1:42 I LIKE JIUCE
+Nicolás Morgan I LIKE JUICE, FINISH YOUR JUICE FILLTERED VITAMIN SUBSTANCE ADD SOUR ICE TO TURN INTO INTUITIVE LICE EVERYTHING IS SALMON SEPERATED ONE FIN AT A TIME
"I like juice" The best lyric of the history of music.
I LIKE JUICE
Meshuggah is one of those bands that truly don`t give a shit and play cool music.
1:58 -"everything, egg salad" lol
1:42 "I like juice"
Darion Misner 1:42 I ilke juice, finishe your juice, filtered vitamine substance!
meshuggah are definitly the rhythmic genius's in the metal world. i heard they even improvise their polyrythms a lot of the time which is fuckin sick
Leonardo Djentcaprio \m/ \m/
No. Just get the fuck out of here with that nonsense.
If you managed to find yourself here through that fucking Dicaprio video and are a Meshuggah fan, AWESOME! If you've just came here to spread your insolence about that Dicaprio video then fuck off.
Dude i ve been Meshuggah Concert Thrice ! So Stfu!!
Yeah and I've met Charlie Chaplin while he was riding a tricycle balancing on a tightrope. See what I'm getting at?
Cr3ateCK
Ya ua Taking Drugs :P ! Grow up, you'd make a fine adult.
3:23 woah, that solo is totally radical
The DiCaprio mashup has more views then the song.
You just made my night. I know it doesn't sound like not much, but my nights are pretty metal, so; take it as you will.
You would think that the label could upload an official music video in sync...
This is the BRUTALest music video ever created... especially the guitar solo part.
1:42 "I like juice"
Rob Scha Nay Nay There is always that one guy.
i love how this is their official music video, they seem like cool guys. at first it looked kinda like some random people wearing wigs and doing a parody of them. then i was like ha ha, the drummer has tomas haake's style down pretty well. then shortly later i realized it was them.
1:42 - "I like juice"
ahhahahaha :DDD
EVERYTHING IS SALMON!
My coworker told me about this video I didn't believe him until now .....
Seriously, this is one of the best music videos i ever saw.
Leonardo Di Caprio brought me here.
🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
This is exactly what my dogs do when im not home.
JENSHUGGAH !!! MY FAVORITE BAND !!!
Leonardo dicaprio lol
indeed
I like this video 'cause this show how they are for real, these guys are very humble people, i love meshuggah :)
235 people didn´t finish their juice
who in the right mind would post such an official video :D
those guys are epic
If only that drummer hit the snare on time at least once :P
This is the single most amazing music video I have ever seen. I shed a single tear viewing this absolute masterpiece.
192 people didn't finish their juices xd
The first time I heard this I heard "Devoid fragmentation. I like juice. finish your soup, filtered one of the substance"...everytime it comes on now I still say I like juice.
i like juice and its the truth filter
***** denial of the crystalate . you need a new juice.
wow, i just realized jens is imitating his fellow bandmates hahahaha
Classic.
