Here are some lyrics I love. I'll add more in time. How cool is this click to reveal thing? It's a HTML element <details>.
New Millenium Cyanide Christ - Meshuggah
-
I'm a carnal, organic anagram
Human flesh instead of written letters
I rearrange my pathetic tissue
I incise, I replace, I'm reformed
I eradicate the fake, pre-present me
Elevate me to a higher human form
The characters I am
Made into a word complete then I'll be the new norm
Self inflicted fractures
I replace my bones with bars
Aluminum bleeding oxide
The drug of Gods into my pounding veins
My receiving eyes exchanged with fuses
Blindness induced to prevent destruction
Ceramic blades implanted
Past my ribs to save me from the dues of inhalation
I tear my worldly useless skin
Staples to pin it over my ears
Non-receptive of ungodly sounds
I disable the audio generators of fear
Hexagonal bolts to fill my mouth
Sharpened to deplete
The creator of all violence
Without speech there will be no deceit
Baptized in vitriolic acid
A final touch, a smoothing of features
Completion of the greatest art
To cast the godly creatures
Humans, once astray, made divine
Stripped of congenital flaws
We're incandescent revelations in a world of darkened forms
Disciples, come join with me
To save a failed humanity
Follow the God of cyanide
Into the new eternity
Behold a sacrificial erase
A cleansing worshiping of pain
The new millennium Christ
Here to redeem all from lies, lies

- I love this song because it illustrates, in a completely metal, brutal way, the idea that humanity is inherently evil. The protagonist of the song goes to insane lengths to improve himself, to replace everything that is wrong and evil with humanity by replacing the parts of his body that perpetuate evil with machine parts, and in this process removes everything that made him human, as you cannot separate evil from human.
I just love this song. Don't you ever with you could tear away your flesh and live as a machine, never getting sick, tired or feeling pain, never having to eat or sleep, never having your mind influenced by chemicals?
Corridor of Chameleons - Meshuggah
We're the carriers of a new anomaly;
Fold, unfold. Bend, shift color.
Always turning our backs to the wind.
Deaf to the inner voices screaming.
Purpose, profit, act only to gain.
Blistered tounges from licking greedward.
Taste the enemy. Throw up their means. Swallow the bits that fit your needs.
Keep your eyes searching in all directions, scanning for opportunities
Off you go. Begin your climb. Aim for the topmost twig of lies.
Put on a shape to pass undisturbed.
Pick a color to blend with surroundings.
Choose a voice suiting, appropriate for the never benignant purpose.
Spin your eyes to read the court. Smoothen your path before the start
Even out, fill the holes with the toxic clay of your rotting heart.
A contagious neuro-ego-disease. A virus sticking to liars.
We're the self-centered fuel to boost the new strain of fire.
Adapting, shifting, lacking opinion. Our numbers exceeding the billions.
Everly walking among ourselves down the corridor of chameleons.
Continue through the skein of boughs, navigate to keep you straight on track.
Make the right ramification-turns. Conceit will be your allied guide.
Climb the hierarchy ladders invisibly, veiled by the canvas of putrid dreams.
Every obstacle surmountable to the clouded vision you've conceived.
Scan the wall of truth for cracks. Your prey: the secrets hiding therein.
Feed upon its nourishing intestines to bring you forth in the "game"
With every single step taken on the road of games called success,
There's a fee for every lie. The currency: Your dissolving integrity.
Will you make it to the top of the tree? Is the fortune there to be found?
Chameleons are a short-lived breed.
Maybe fate will find you dead on the ground.

- I like how this song illustrates how insane this game of fighting for our spot in society is. It's a reminder to stay honest and true instead of lying to win in a game where nobody wins.
Settle for Nothing - Rage Against the Machine
-
A jail cell is freedom from the pain in my home
Hatred passed on, passed on and passed on
A world of violent rage but it's one that I can recognize
Having never seen the color of my father's eyes
Yes, I dwell in hell but it's a hell that I can grip. I tried to grip my family but I slipped
To escape from the pain in an existence mundane
I got a nine, a sign, a set, and now I got a name!
Read my writing on the wall! No one's here to catch me when I fall!
Death is on my side! Suicide!
Read my writing on the wall! No one's here to catch me when I fall!
Caught between my culture and the system
Genocide!
Read my writing on the wall! No one's here to catch me when I fall!
If ignorance is bliss Then knock the smile off my face!
If we don't take the action now, we settle for nothing later
Settle for nothing now And we'll settle for nothing later
Planned Obsolescence - Gojira
-
Created weakness for the numbers on the board
Absurd amount of things, obsolete creation
The lust for always more, indulgence in hunger
A greed for power, the demon needs to feed
From cradle you've been taught how to rule and conquer
The Devil smiling, no, this isn't real
Black vultures in the mist approaching, now closer
The end is coming, we'll take it from there
A message goes to all the souls
To all those staying, face turned to the ground
All you hold the key to infinite power
That has always been here and forever
Every time you step out, raise your voice
Resurrected from the ground
Designed for failure
Behold the waste is burnt to the ground
Face down and broken
We dedicate our essence to this game
No better time, let's dream on, wish for better
You're on an elevated sense of greater
These engines, power crushing down
One day we'll wake up from this absolute nonsense
A star long worshipped will burn in the red
Disused and empty shell, icon of an old world
Conscience awakened, we'll take it from there

- I love the encouraging tone of the lyrics. We are ruining our planet, but we also have the power to stop this. This applies to so many things: we hold the key to infinite power - we have to change ourselves and lead others by example. We cannot change others, but we can show them that it can be done and invite them to join us.
