Sub-Effect Lyrics by Voivod

Nothingface

1989

The one go down is alive
It is part of my plight
The one inside makes a sign
And keeps an eye to the light, yeah

I sense panic overboard
Obscure, viscid sprawling fog
I hear a sonar rumour
That says I'm far from the shore

How I am stricken with non-emotion
It crawls up above periscopic cognition
Where it strives to dwell in abnormal contortion
I navigate in my maze
Investigate
To be safe safe safe safe

Across the ocean of sheer compromise
There is no matrix, not even a guide

The last wave of sanity
Rolls over my frequency
Skyline under water field
The depths above the high seas

How I am stricken with non-emotion
It crawls up above periscopic cognition
Where it strives to dwell in abnormal contortion
I navigate in my maze
Investigate
To be safe safe safe safe

Across the ocean of sheer compromise
There is no matrix, not even a guide

A twilight house keeper dim-on, dim-off now
A concrete cyclops blinking down his dull eye
Does this code signal something somewhere somehow?
Why me? It goes on and on and on
Please, no
No

[Guitar Solo]

Too late for S.O.S

Mute island, fish-eye view circling the border line
No resource, no rescue, stranded, I'm otherwise
The error is perfect like this sub-effect of my kind
My mind, my mind

The one so down is alive
It is a part of my plight
The one inside makes a sign
And keeps an eye to the light
To the light
