In Flames · Reroute To Remain [2002]
I can not frame, that's why I lose control I aim,
I stumble and I fall
Our adaptation can't be faithful
Your world does not attract me
This is the end you see
There is no more truth in me
As if you would deserve it
You are my enemy
I can't ignore the way you make me
bleed I hate when you throw my thoughts
against the wall
Got to wake up and make a stand
The desperation forces another mistake
I count again,.I know who to blame
My life in vain
Who said I was sane
I count again,.I know who to blame
My life in vain
Who said I was sane
Follow your instinct
It usually takes you home
Don't let these words tear you down
You see me hanging by the end of the rope I tell you,,
Slow I go
And the wait seems to be over.
All that I know
Is that my life has become such a waste for you
I blame and run, sadly all too often I dive into the day
without your sympathy I tend to try but lack the focus
Becoming a distant memory
What once was is quickly forgotten
All wrapped up inside
Delete all resemblance I feel your relief
Slow I go
And the wait seems to be over.
All that I know
Is that my life has become such a waste for you
Follow your instinct
It usually takes you home
Slow I go
And the wait seems to be over.
All that I know

Slow I go
And the wait seems to be over.
All that I know

System - In Flames
Released on the 2002 album Reroute To Remain, 'System' stands as a quintessential example of the melodic death metal genre that In Flames helped define. The track features the band's signature blend of aggressive, palm-muted riffs and soaring, emotive vocal lines, characteristic of their mid-2000s era. As a staple of their discography, the song exemplifies the dynamic interplay between technical precision and atmospheric heaviness that became a hallmark of their sound. It remains a recognizable anthem within the Swedish metal scene and continues to resonate with fans of the genre who appreciate its balance of speed and melody.
