Megadeath - Angry Again - Lyrics

The more of you that I inspect
The more of me I see reflect
The more I try to read your lips
The more the mask you're wearing rips

But when I seek out your voice
My ears are overcome with noise
You show and tell with greatest ease
Raving impossibilities

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry ow!

And when the story takes a twist
If folds like a contortionist
Slight of hand and quick exchange
The old tricks have been rearranged

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry

The searing of the sinew
My body fights for air
The ripping of the tissue
My lungs begin to tear
Gravity's got my bones
It pulls my flesh away

The steam finally dissipates
I make out my sweaty face

Association that I choose
Game I inevitably lose
Governed by laws set up by me
Fracture its jaw to let me be

A cut-out cardboard condo maze
Filled with an insubordinate race
Irrational youths stop to stare
As music rubber hosed the air

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry again
And again and again, again

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry ow!
 


Well I didn't hear the mumbled number above, but I'll offer up another...but because it's also Indian (I think).

From the film "The Hundred Foot Journey" *well worth your time* we have Afreen:

 
When it comes to actually hearing the words...I can't help but think of Karen Carpenter.

Macca...Paul McCartney opined Karen's was the best female voice he had ever heard. Given that he hailed from the UK and that they had a gal by the name of Dusty Springfield, that's saying something.

That said, make your own choice(s).

 
As far as hearing the words, I most often offer up Karen Carpenter. Best female voice I've ever heard. Lyrics almost always clear, pitch perfect (she almost never wavers over a note because she nailed it), and a voice...the sound out of a mouth...that sounds like a concert hall. And then you couple all THAT with a thin (always thin) waif of a girl...a lady...and you come out with what sounds like a choir of a hundred inside Carnagie Hall...and all from just her one voice...and it leaves me just astounded at what humans can achieve.
 
Human Achievement. Good Sweet Lord I'm constantly amazed at what people can do and have done.

To which I give you one Ulli Steck (now deceased). This does have music, but also some amazing and terrifying video (at least for me, a guy with a real fear of heights.):

I have to admire the understatement too. "If I do a mistake, I fall off."

I ran the math on this climb. Every year at the Empire State Building in NYC there is a stair climb competition, and the last time I checked the record was about 11 minutes. The north face of the Eiger is six times the height of that building, and, given that long distance runners can commonly string together one distance after another, that makes it about 66 minutes for the 6000'/1800m.

Steck climed a wall with an angle of 80 degrees vertical without protection--rope or fixtures--in 2h 47m here and actually beat his own record a year or two later. And if he [did] a mistake...he fell off.

In 1966 John Harlan, who was the first American to scale the wall DID fall off, about 4000m when his rope broke (worn through). The climb he and his two fellows planned then would have taken about two weeks to complete, had they managed it.

Anyway...I kinda liked the music with this one. So I guess I'm listening to it, as well as watching it.

The music kicks in at about 1:18.

The Warriors. Had completely forgotten about that movie. I only remember In The City. Going to have to watch the movie again.
