Closed Eye Visuals by Meshuggah
Closed Eye Visuals
This song was recorded using a seven string guitar strung as though it were the lower of
eight string guitar. To record Nothing, Fredrik and Marten tuned their eight strings
E, F, Eb or Bb (for Spasm)… CEV is tuned to F, which, low to high is: F Bb Eb Ab Gb Bb
This tablature is only for the rhythm parts and the clean intermission, but will attempt
solo at a later date. Note that all bends indicated in the tab are no more than a half step.
As far as playing this piece along with the CD is concerned, the easiest way is to tune
guitar up a half step and play through a distorted amplifier. Bass strings are heftier
guitar strings so some of the bends on the first fret may be very but you will be able
play along to the disk with the correct pitches.

RIFF H X 4
Unbound to the pale and lifeless day by the multi-colored, multiform
A spinning anti-dream unthought. Exceeding the obsolete reality
Overheated inner shape generator. Blowing every cerebral fuse
Insanity filtered and systematized. Feeding the tools of mind abuse
Mind signal transmission peaked, distorted, bent, unrestrained
Neuro receivers short circuit. System parameters over gained
Nerve threads decoding the stream of the reality inverting revolution
The patterned untruth of nondream, the closed eye visual delusion
A frantic cellular race down the switchbacks of mind
Throttling the existenc eengine. A propulsion beyond all limit lines
Convulsive thrusts of septic energy as infected cells collide
Unleashing the video bacterial disease. The sinew conducted pseudovision
Mind signal transmission peaked, distorted, bent, unrestrained
Neuro receivers short circuit. System parameters over gained
Nerve threads decoding the stream of the reality inverting revolution
The patterned untruth of nondream, the closed eye visual delusion
Self unfolds like a disintegrating dream
All revealed but the sinister cause
My lying eyes come apart at the seams
Still how could I ever regret the loss
The self transformed into wave lengths,
Reverberating this unyielding dream. Lost in this greedy illusion
I'm forever devoured by the closed eye visual delusion
A twirling visual overload Explosions of terror and beauty
Colors of fear and pain within clash into unanything
A spectra organic frenzy setting fire to the neuro highways of mind
Revolving me away from time. A soul now rendered unassigned
