Stress
by Pain Of Salvation
(watching corners and crossing watching all the red lights watching the
stress watching beggars and bankers and rushing cars I'm drowning in this
mess)Help me! Rescue me! Save me! Set me free! (watching all the stress)
It is strange - among all people I feel alone. Very strange - despite the
sun I'm cold to the bone!
If this is progress let me out!
Up on the rooftops I feel alive - lovely detached from the human hive.
Up on the rooftops I feel so free.
Far from the city that's suffocating me. (watching corners and
crossings watching all the red lights watching the stress watching
beggars and bankers and rushing cars I'm drowning in this mess) IS THIS
WHAT WE WANT?
I believe: beneath the surface we turn to stone.
Can't you see? You meet your neighbors over the phone!
I'm awake - watch me! I'll escape - watch me!
If this is progress help me to regress!
Alone by the ocean I feel alive - lovely detached from the human hive.
Alone by the ocean I feel so free.
Far from the city that's suffocating me.
YOU live too shallow act too deep! Fail to sow but proudly reap!
...and you still need MORE!
Indians show us where you're from
STRESS indicates what we'll all become!
In time you'll awake!
In time you'll escape!
In time you'll awake!
You'll see what's at stake!
IS THIS WHAT WE WANT? ...is this what we NEED?

소위 3세대 프로그레시브 메탈 그룹들 가운데서 엠프티 트레모나 엘드리치, 인챈트 등과 함께 뛰어난 실력을 인정받은 페인 오브 샐베이션(Pain Of Salvation). 지금까지 총 4장의 앨범을 발표한 그들은 초기 국내에서 널리 알려지지 않았다. 일본에서 먼저 이들의 가능성을 알아보고 라이선스로 소개될 때 우리나라 마니아들은 비싼 가격을 치르고 인터넷을 통해서야 그들의 앨범을 들을 수 있었다. 하지만 2000년 세 번째 앨범이 국내에도 라이선스로 발매되면서 본격적으로 우리나라에도 소개되었다.
