Part 13 - GitS SAC OST 4

Track: "smooth in the shell [no break disk]" − 49:02
Album: Ghost in the Shell SAC OST 4
Composer: Yoko Kanno
Vocals: James Miller and Eddie Warren

The transition between this song and the one before it is not smooth at all. They just start and end at one point. This has to be another experimental track, starting off with a synthesized echoing voice as a synth accent, and then turns into a rhythmic jazz track. A rap duo interrupts the jazz track, the first of them sounding very much like Mike Shinoda, but probably not. I love the brains vs. brawn theme of the lyrics too.

Lyrics: (starting at 1:57)
Elevation, my soundwave's on a higher level
beyond time and space, deeper than bass and treble
So free your mind, from shackles of ignorance
No Justice, no peace, discreet vigilance

The life you live, the price you give survive
with times as hard, focus your third eye
The path is narrow yet the road is long
but you can't lose your grip, you must be strong

The heart, the mind, the physical coincide
The truth is liberation from the lies
so break through and be who you are,
the pain cuts deep but time heals the scars

Unexplained phenomenon, illogical
brain food for thought, digest neurological
So pump your fists and fight for what's right
it's time to give the blind insight, c'mon

Everybody get on the floor flex your muscles
cause B right here, they wanna make you do the hustle,
Tell the DJ you've gotta pump up the bass,
yeah, pump it up like you was lifting weights

The music's real strong
you could feel it in your chest
When you turn in on
it will leaves you in distress

So shout, pull up, work it out this one's a struggle
but you've gotta keep it going to develop your muscles
You don't wanna be the scrawny kid that gets picked on
when it's time for calling that name, you gotta get it on

Hold down the fort, stand your ground like a man,
never say I can't, always say I can
Though I ain't feelin' like I'm the world's strongest man,
but I am when I got a microphone in my hand

So forget the biceps, triceps and all them things,
the strongest muscle that you got is your brain,
So use it
What?
