Touch! 

I'll stand for nothing less 
Or never stand again 
These are the limits when one's buried 
This body's left the soul 

How could we have known 
Never would I, have helped to nail down 

Careful of drifting off 
Now losing taste and touch 
Turning a pale blue, leading in the say 
This body's left the soul 

The brain needs oxygen 
Can't sneak around this bait 
His catacomb has got me by the chin 
This body's left the soul 

How could we have known 
Never would I, have helped to nail down 
With nothing to gain 
Here's the clincher, this should be you 
Now saturate, now saturate, now saturate, now saturate, and touch 
Now saturate, now saturate, now saturate, the earth 
Now saturate, now saturate, now saturate, the earth 

How could we have known 
Never would I, have helped to nail down 
With nothing to gain 
Here's the clincher, this should be you, made cold and crippled 
This happened to be, never changing 
Holding inside, the phobia viewed, made cold and crippled, ending it all 

Now saturate, now saturate, now saturate, now saturate, the earth 
Now saturate, now saturate, now saturate

3 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I AM ABSOLUTLY IN LOVE WITH CHEVELLE, but this message is mostly for the entry by DashBordCheck! I'm from Louisiana too, and I went to the concert!!! I just wanted to contact you and see if you got in and what you thought. IT WAS THE GREATEST FRICKIN' NIGHT OF MY LIFE! THE ENTIRE NIGHT WAS A STROKE OF LUCK!!! EVERYTHING FROM GETTING A FAKE ID TO GET IN, MAKING IT INTO THE FRONT ROW, THE GUARD GIVING MY CAMERA BACK AFTER HE SAW ME TAKING PICTURES, PETE THROWING ME HIS GUITAR PICK, HIM TAKING OFF HIS SHIRT AND THROWING IT AT ME, and THEIR MANAGER COMING OUT AFTER THE SHOW TO GIVE ME A SPECIALIZED CHEVELLE GUITAR PICK WAS PURE DIVINE INTERVENTION! NO NIGHT CAN EVER TOP IT! I was reading these and got all excited when I saw your entry. I just wanted to know if you wanted to exchange sn's to talk about the concert and everything. I have a huge loong story about my amazing night, and if you want to chat, post another comment in here and let me know! Keep on filling your brains with Chevelle and rockin' out, Bitches!! -Fuzzy

8 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal These guys so have it ! The feeling that has just been missing from music for so long now . It throbs a pulse of dramatic melody and madness and the lyrics hold meaning to a deeper depth then any other . I am so mesmerized by his voice and thier guitars and rythms - a trance .There Is nothing in comparison to chevelle.

28 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Chevelle...What can I say? Hmmm... I LOVE THIS FUCKING BAND!!! Chevelle is one of my most favored bands in the entire world!! My first song I heard by them was 'Send The Pain Beloe' and i found that song to kick ass big time..then 'The Red' came out and I almost got a concussion cause I was headbanging so much. Their 3rd cd 'This Type Of Thinking Could Do Us In'..When "Vitamin R (Leading Us Along)" came out, I loved it so much, I couldnt wait to see what was next then BOOM, "The Clincher" came out and I..nearly had a orgasm listening to the song (not really). "The Clincher" kicks ALL KINDS OF ASS!! Fat ass, skinny ass, big ass, small ass, wide ass, narrow ass..you name it! It kicks all ASS!!! If there is a battle of the genres concerts and it was rock vs. rap, Chevell would be the #1 band in the rock side, and would DEFINATELY beat rap! KEEPON ROCKING PEOPLE!!!!

3 posts	The only way to truly understand the meaning of a song is from the one who wrote it... Exerpt from Metal Edge ME: What are some other lyrical themes? PL: I touch upon my claustrophobia in a song called "The Clincher"--I would like to go back to the day when I had no fear about being tucked away, so it touches on being buried alive--It's a pretty morbid song, but it is kind of talking about tight spaces. We were recently in a subway, and the train was packed, and we go through the tunnel, and it stops, and the lights are dim, and I am leaning against all these people, and I am thinking, "Wow, I am about to freak out right now..." I was about to tear a hole throught the wall just to get out, so I had to keep it together. It's happened a few times on airplaines, where I felt terrorized in the little seat. Elevators are horrible--If they shutter in any way, it freaks me out. It's a freaky thought to think, "Man, when I die..." We all leave our body, we all agree on that, but still, it's a weird concept to think you are going to be put into a box and put into the ground. This body that you live in, that's all you know, is just going to be laying there, it's just a horrible thing to think about--The lyrics of "The Clincher" touch on that. I love that excerpt! It's so insightful. Well, keep on filling your Heads with Chevelle and rockin' out, bitches!!

5 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I really liked this song. The music vid was.... wow. I love rock videos because they always hav some underlying message or point to them. If u can't figure it out in the music check out the vid and it becomes clear. Yah, so this video was just awesome, wit the little boy jarring all those butterflies and such and then letting that one fairy looking thing go that had a nail through her stomach on his wall. Yah... just powerful. And the song itself... has almost a haunting melody. But haunting in a good way of course . Hehehe, i hav never seen any other vids by Chevelle and i was surprised to see that the vocalist was sooo hot! Yah... excuse me wit not knowing any of the band members . I'm just here to giv my opinion on the actual music. So yes, it was wonderful, i luved the message, and the vid. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK CHEVELLE!!
