Most recent mania interview: Mania Interview.doc
This is an interview from the "Is this life?" zine, which is now about 2 years old.Below is a collection of all lyrics. I would say most of these I don't even agree with any more, it's just how I felt at the time. This is for historical reference.
Mania - Waves - 30 copies, DVD. Single song, goes with video.
Waves
Multi-dimensional patterns clash, unfolding energy waves that crash.
Atoms ionize; compounds pool en masse; chaos assembles then dies.
Proteins synthesize; mingling cells divide; voided mutations fade.
Eons distill and filter the off-kilter.
Time tries all tricks, building bridges from bricks.
A seeping cesspool of conscious creatures revels in self-reverence.
Mania - S/T - 100 gatefold CDr package for 2010 tour. 300 copies on red tape, inc. E.H. ep.
01 - Numbing
This monotonous life of
shit has caused me to want
pain and love in the most
extreme of forms.
I need pain to feel,
I need love to feel...
Anything, anything.
Empty, empty.
I need pain to feel,
I need love to feel.
I feel so unreal,
I feel so empty.
I need pain to feel,
I feel so ugly.
I need anything,
I feel so..
Empty.
I need pain to feel,
I need love to feel.
How far plugged in
must we be to realize?
I wish I could break
all this I despise.
I don't want to feel
part of this machine;
anything seems better
than this numbing.
I feel on the verge
of hateful attack..
Reflect your negative
energy back.
Am I doomed to slave
here or starve at best?
I need something REAL
to cure this unrest...
02 - Eternal filth and chaos everywhere
The filth... of... life.
The filth of life.
Filth... of life.
Eternal filth and chaos everywhere.
03 - Lostness and confusion
I hate these machines.
I hate this place.
I hate this time...
I didn't want to be here.
You have no soul;
all I see is emptiness.
All these screens have taken your life.
Empty... culture.
The horror.. God.. no.
04 - Fertility fucked
Life objectified,
raped, commodified;
put into the light to sell to lonely starving eyes.
The precious fertile flower
put into a vice.
Factory cage inseminate with artificial life.
Self-negating virtues
pound into their mind.
Easier to give in than to fight a sea of lies.
Destroy the true beauty,
make the body hide;
and almost nothing's left of what's originally inside.
Everything's so fucked now,
no chance of going back.
The mothers don't remember the love that they finally lack.
Feminism rises,
a response to where we're at;
A hardened shell distorted by the hate they're fighting back.
Striving just to live,
we feed our primal wants.
A screen of empty meaning only makes us more distraught.
Desperately trying to
continue holding on.
Stripped and ripped away by the eternal leviathan.
Fertility
fucked by the sea
of hatred, enslavement, and disharmony.
Eternally
seeking the key,
we blindly go on and we'll never be free.
05 - Getting nowhere
Will we ever truly find our answer?
Will all these clashing utopians ever rid us of this cancer?
Our ancient civilization's not even at its peak.
You'll never uproot such deep seeds with forces so weak.
06 - Primal instincts
Supressed primal instincts,
I'm told not to express,
ten thousand years of agriculture
force me to repress.
If I lived by nature,
I'd live by dominance.
But cops and courts and prisons
make me play this game of chess..
Perfect plastic people;
inside's a fucking mess.
Everyone's about to snap
but most just won't confess.
When civilized life crumbles,
and none of this is left
Won't hesitate when I must
stab this knife into your chest.
There's really nothing else..
to sit and contemplate.
I just want to stab you so
that you can feel my hate.
Why are you still here?
I think you're fucking fake.
Your pitiful existence tells me
I should seal your fate.
I don't want to see you;
I hate your fucking face.
I should just fucking kill you
so that I don't have to wait.
Your life means fucking nothing..
you insignificant waste.
What else must I say so you'll
forever leave this place?
07 - Ice covered sphere
Iced over, frozen in time.
The clock of man halts.
Celestial bodies regain control
of natural life, or what is.. left.
Behold, your crumbling tower.
Behold, your impenetrable,
useless machine, frozen solid!
Ha!
So.. peaceful.
No more diseases flourish.
Man cowers under the
immense power of nature.
Heat energy is drained from all life.
Only pure elements survive
this harsh wind.
Globe immersed in eternal frost.
Eternal frost,
eternal cold,
eternal void.
All encompassing, for all time..
08 - Suspense
(Until another cycle begins).
09 - Awaken
Resist if you must try,
but this is a day without night.
We've come this far..
You're just a small part.
This beast's reign will end..
..but not soon, friend.
Until it collapses,
we are trapped here.
Crushing your will.
Do what you can to survive yourself.
You're not saving wildlife by rotting in jail.
The calm serene peace of the night will return.
But until that comes in the sun we must burn.
The same course repeats the last ten thousand years.
It's the same machine with your earth "friendly" gears.
You can't change this globe, though efforts your best.
You work for yourself or you slave with the rest...
(You live for yourself or you die with the rest).

01 - the sound of hell
02 - no escape
there's no fucking escape
from this place that i hate
i am shrouded in fear
of what next they will take
i have no where to hide
i have no fucking home
if i stay in their city
they will take my freedom
they will cut every tree
they will poison every stream
they will gas all my air
until they have enslaved me
there's a new world order
that you can't fucking see
in may 2008
starts the fascist regime
they will tag your id
they will guard every door
if you don't do what they say
they will lock you away
if i move to the wild
they will come penetrate
destroy all for money
there's no fucking escape
03 - no future
i have no future
i have no past
all my ancestors
migrated for cash
i am dependent
on the system they brought
i'm domesticated
no wild food.. water.. shelter.. friends.. thoughts..
i have no culture
i have no pride
my species' future
is mass suicide
i have no purpose
i have no life
all of my people
are all living lies..
my life... is nothing
04 - no home
...
why..
will i never feel comfortable..
no matter where i am ...
...
i am alone..
i have no home..
05 - the death of birth
the ending has already come
this food has evolved here for us
and now you forgot where it's from
we've bred a new type of tree
it won't grow back when it drops its seed
we've done this for profit and greed
what happens when money can't run these machines
what happens when we cannot eat
the oil that covers the earth
will haunt every wild plant's birth
the plastic that blankets the sea
is enough to choke every fish and bird we see
pollution has blackened our skies
why can't we see this with our eyes
we've brought our own fucking demise
it feels helpless to even try
what happens when we cannot breathe
disgusting greedy human race
your blindness has shown your disgrace
the death of birth shall be your fate
06 - the birth from death
mania - current chaos - demo 2005 (40 copies, CDR)
01 - hope in a false god
I
christianity is a veil over the brainwashed publics eyes
infecting the world with its brutal agenda and its out-right fascist lies
first they make you pay the church and do what's "right" to be accepted in
if you don't then you're cast out of society because the truth is a fucking 'sin'
for centuries we've been burned at the stake, tortured, and abused
the public doesn't know because the church won't reveal the truth
executions are a product of a state assassinating free speakers -
the ones who wish to reveal the truth about the origins of the church
the church was created in an attempt to control the weak-minded and the free
the free are the persecuted. the christians are the weak.
if you disobey the state and resist against corporate abuse
you're labeled a sinner and thrown in the fire because you're not of profitable use
we're used
II
there's no god, there never was
don't believe in hopeful lies
evidence clearly shows the truth
of evolution - open your mind
persuations easy, once you've given up
your ability to think and to choose
dumbfounded at the idea that you will listen
to everything they tell you to do
racism, discrimination
its history shows for itself
christianity must be destroyed
before the damage can't be reversed
religion is a tool, used for corporate greed
to hold the masses at bay with lies
we must burn down the church with its 'morals'
if we're to ever open our eyes
open your eyes
your hope in a false god will be your fucking doom
there's no rescue for you from evil because the end will be here soon
if we don't end our destruction for profit we're all going to die
you can only fight the church and state once you stop believing the lies
you're believing lies
02 - distorted views
the fcc
controls everything you see
music you hear,
the news portrayed on tv
its no surprise
you cant see with your fucked up eyes
no accident
the selection of content
censorship's a tool also known as disguise
hammered in to sheild us from the truth that they hide
anything can be hidden from the public's eyes
so we won't fucking question what our leaders decide
society
just blocks everything you think
'profanity'
and all defiant speaking
we keep each other
in the line they want us to be in
we can break free
once we realize we can
chorus
lies...
03 - planetary holocaust
(no lyrics)
04 - suicidal complex
thousands of acres destroyed
to keep up with profit
hundreds of forests cut down
to keep the money in their pocket
so much land is wasted
to raise cattle to die
two thirds of our grain is thrown out
food isn't free because of this, scarcity is a lie
lie - lie
can't you see it's a fucking lie
or are you too caught up to open up your eyes
stop killing - you're wasting life
heart disease is going to make you die
the food pyramid was a fucking scam
used just to keep their fucking pockets crammed
they shove it down your kids' throats at public school
so they look at the vegan and label her a fool
meat and dairy corporations hide the truth
they dont want you to know what they really do
deforestation - a direct result
and the media's paid to shove it down your throat
you just caused an intelligent life's death
you took away it's life - you took away it's breath
animals are social and emotional beings
and you're the cause of life-time misery
there's no other way to be healthier
we can still save ourselves and our mother earth
you're ignorant to truth if you eat that shit
it's processed junk; your body doesn't want it
everything you need can be found elsewhere
the cost earth endures is the pressure we bear
unsustainable sources are at hand
if you give up now, life won't stand a chance
05 - living in human mistakes from the past
massive craters..
filled with waste..
this is what.. we call home
toxic dumps..
infest all sources of life..
we've created the synthetic world in which ..
we thrive...
thrive for power and control..
but what good is profit when there's nothing left?
what good is life..
when we've destroyed the only sources of survival?
we've got no chance to survive
06 - choke
i cant fucking breathe
the pollution you spread
is killing everything
im begging you, please
stop killing and dying
for oil over-seas
i cant fucking breathe
over production of useless products
in deadly factories
can't you fucking see
there are many great alternatives
for a source of energy
we're the only developed country left not to limit our emitions
the only reason is because our government is owned by big business
we're a fucking disease
spread over other nations
to rape the earth like theives
and the earth just fucking bleeds
the wounds can only heal
once we get up off our knees
you've been fucking deceived
fucked over for profit
by a thousand companies
extra - degenerate society
so we slave away
and sedate to ease the pain away
to slip into
a false reality
life's a dream
i'm afraid we'll never wake
from the destructive masks
we wear every day
chemicals
we force into our rotting veins
and if we don't die
it's only further fucking up our brains
life's a dream to us
capitalist depression is the reality
but if we sedate
this earth will fade away...
First Demo (Unknown amount of copies) 2003-2004
Pawns
And they lie to you again
They hold the public in their hand
They make us too afraid to stand
This government controls your life
They've taken so much you're now blind
To them your life's a game
And now life is the debt to be paid
Why don't you see for yourself
Cross the river of blood
Or are you too ashamed now
to look at what you've done
This war won't help anything
You've lost your only son
It's all the same
just a different corporation
If voting really worked, it'd be illegal
Don't say they're better off when you can't see them
There's no link between Al Qaeda and Iraq
The 911 commission found no evidence
We've reinstated the same extreme dictatorship
When will you realize the truth of this "democracy"?
Halliburton
A billion dollar contract
Working alongside
Our U.S. Troops in combat
Exxon Mobil
Rice's old company
Three times the profit
due to this war
Oil
Profits
They win
And you just fucking submit
Bush is a main boardmember
For the Carlyle group firm
Contracting with the Bin-ladens
Money for them's never easier
Terrorism's just a scam
The real hunt's for the money they want to grab
The current situation
Money and power
The masses they cower
For destruction of the towers
They march off to war
Completely unrelated
Countries are hated
Blind, uneducated
They march off to war
Paid in lives
Forces deployed
Villages destroyed
Oil slaves employed
They march off to war
Paid in lives
We're trained to march off and die
We'll die
So they can pollute our skies
They lie
We're forced to give up our lives
I won't die
For the greed in one man's eyes.
