Originally on Only God Can Judge Me and More, AJJ leads with desperate rage at a system that sacrifices its children for nothing, before eventually ending with the singer lost in despondent helplessness, not able to effect change even at the cost of his own life.
Unicron is then a song defined almost entirely by misplaced (perhaps unreal?) anger that covers the up self-loathing the singer truly feels. The singer shifts from wanting to destroy nature with an inorganic machine, to a desperate cry for nature to consume him.
Discussion Questions:
How do you interpret the lyrics? When is the singer being genuine? When is he covering up deeper, more complex feelings?
How do we combat feelings of helplessness in our own lives while the world goes mad?
Lyrics:



That live recorded version of those songs came out pretty great. The band somehow managed to record an even more intense version of songs that were already pretty intense.
The track is also up on their Bandcamp page for people that want to buy/download.
