Opeth - By the Pain I See in Others (Audio) 

When you're on your way to the kitchen and you wind up in the twelfth plane of torment

8:20-8:39 This part is fucking mental

3:03 that "buuuu, AAAAAHHH" cant get more brutal

This song is about a demon possessing someone. He uses different tones in his voice to depict the demon, the narrator and the person being possessed. First part with the distorted growls (the demon lurking as if he was underneath), clean growls (as if the demon was on top persuading). The guitar solos that follow is the person being submitted/possesed. First aggressive solo (like fighting it) then more growls (the demon) convincing/persuading). Then light keyboard and soft part comes in as a feeling of being overcome and submitted by the demon and the clean vocals is the narrator depicting the scene of conversion. Then the aggressive nature of the demon takes completely over. *insert headbanging here* .....and then..... "Aaaaaaaaah" "Silently" "Aaaaaaaaaaah" "Whispering" "Aaaaaaaaah" "Move in me and set me free".. Is the final submission/total possession. Then the rest of the song "is it over??" is the feeling of being set free of the pain. First its silence, then echoes. I get a feeling of weightlessness from it as if I where a ghost that doesnt feel pain. :) Opeth is all about imagination and feeling. They're stories. Adventures. Picture yourself in the song and maybe you'll feel the music inside you....

Opeth is the only band that would growl on top of acoustic guitars

I haven’t listened to this album since 7th grade but it’s so funny how random riffs come to me out of nowhere and I can trace it back to these bits

5:04 Progressive waltz metal xd

And to think that Mikael once referred to this as the worst Opeth song when it's anything but

7:49 "this song is so loooooong"

The first verse always gives me goosebumps. The acoustic guitar plus the reverbed growls is just, NASTY

5:04 - 6:34 Psychotic Carnival...

8:08 - 8:15 what a wild transition

And nothing ever changes.. Mikael is the bard for my depression. I fucking love Opeth

that intro always gives me chills.

Their creepier song

This song is so underrated.

My favorite track on Deliverance.

Let me taste Let me feel I need to know what you keep inside No need to speak Just let it be Carry out this wish for me let nothing interfere Rise to submission I'm still beneath in the soil Discard your clothes Let loose you hair We're intertwined forever and have always been Say the word And I'll depart Upon your lips dwells nothing but the meaning of my cause And so comes the dark Vibrant as ever before Flowers already withered In this endless winter of souls Outside in the park The days move along And nothing ever changes They have nothing on us And we've always knew That nothing ever changes Rise to submission I'm still beneath in the soil This is ours alone Feeding of the warmth Lured out from inside Depending on the life blood Silently Whispering Move in me and set me free "Htaed otni yaw eht dael Won resolc Peels rof gnol Gnivael dna Yawa gnidaf Tuohtiw Od Nac I Tahw Em Gniwohs Thgil Laerehte Raeppasid Dna Edaf Sruoloc Ecnart Gnihtoos"

I kind of get why this song doesn't get much appreciation as it's so twitchy and disjointed, but damn, 3:33 until the 5 minute mark is one of the best Opeth sections ever.

Look at the genius lyric annotations for this song. It tells a wonderful story, you won’t be disappointed!

I know Mikael isn't that fond of this song but I love it. They should play it live.

1:40 This moment is an absurd! I LOVE IT!

This is in the top 5 of Opeth songs.

growls and acoustic guitar

That acoustic riff

nedense gebze feribotunda moladayken dinlerdim bu parçayı. martılara ekmek attığım zamanlar geldi aklıma, deniz kokusu, hava kapalı ve akşama doğru yağmur yağacak, sert bir rüzgar ama hemen öncesi sessizlik. şiirsel olsun diye yazmadım, direk dinlediğim gün/günleri hatırlıyorum.

Man, this song is great! I sure hope the lyrical interpretation on genius isn't really weird!

3:34 epic riff!!!

What I like about this is that Opeth have a massive pair of testes. Something thats lacking in the universe today.

I fucking love this song's drum percussion by Lopez so much! Feel the sounds of aggression, pain and hatred on drums. I've never seen like this! When Old Mike's growling and Lopez's percussion were kicking ass...

That intro is gorgeous

The album deliverance is the very first death metal album I've ever owned and this track is legendary

Masterpiece

Underrated masterpiece! Amazing!

5:03 Absurd how eerily beautiful it is

Sorry Åkerfeldt doesn’t like this one. I love every demented second of it.

8:39 is so fucking good. The whole song is beast but that’s my fav.

The intro riff is insane

waking up to 13:20 after having fallen asleep listening to music feels absolutely surrealistic

great Morbid Angel/Celtic Frost vibes in the heavier riffs

i worship opeth

I looked up the genius annotations for this song, and I'm going to need your largest bottle of bleach.

All Day I Dream About Opeth

And so comes the dark! Vibrant as ever before! I fucking love those lyrics

This is fire

the ghost in the mirror and the freaking doll scare me

I always come back to this song, i always feel better after listenin to it, like a mental punchin bag ARRRGHH!!

its about worms!

A very underrated song. The heavy vocals in the verses are awesome. Badass.

8:19 I just love this part

I love the song's ending. It gives you the time to think about what you just listened. The beatiful reversed vocals of the end always give me goosebumps. I lost the count on how many times I've listened this album from start to finish, it's a moving experience. I sit in my living room and listen to the whole album from start to finish. And I always use my best speakers or my headphones. It's almost an spiritual experience (I'm not religious). Thank you Opeth for this masterpiece album.

Mikeal is INSANE for thinking that this is the weakest song.. Argueably the best song in my opinion!

amazing experience

Perfect

Etheral light showing me what I can do without.

Epic

🤘🏼😍 Opeth = Brilliant

That cat's sleeping right there!

I don’t understand why people complain about the ending. It’s the end of the album and it’s beautiful ambiance.

My first time hearing this song & it’s awesome

This song is something like Morningrise/Blackwater Park

I wish I could have only the intro because 0:01 - 0:53 is awesome

Maravilhoso ❤

8:15 Insane!

🖤❤️🤘🏼 amazing

Dayum very goot

Higha and 3am. Good song to listent ot.

I swear i put this to help me to sleep !!

3:33

Best Opeth work ever..??🤔🤔

10/10❤

Can't understand why it's underrated... Not for me it isn't 😂

My morning tune

Hell is empty and all the devils are here wrote Shakespeare!

@ 3:03 My pets freaked out when I air drum and mosh by myself, God damn I love Opeth .

cursed cover art

To those 3 people that down voted.....I feel sorry for you

Reminds me of Wedding Nails by Porcupine Tree

🤘😈🤘

1:16 8:10

Song is hilarious gets my booty groovin tho

The drummer was mashallah

2019 ♥ ??

2:59 is that a flashback of another song or is of this one?

This sounds way different to the version on my CD. Anybody know what version this is? Is this the original remix? It sounds fucking amazing!

When u have a ghost..

can someone tell me what the style of music at 05:00 is called? i’ve heard it before in “mama” by mcr and “being for the benefit of mr kite” by the beatles, love the way it sounds

bro i love this BUT THE VOCALS IN THE BEGINNING SOUND LIKE THE SNAPCHAT FILTER I CANT UNHEAR HOW FUNNY IT IS

Very creepy

what is the reason of rests in 10:37 - 11:57 & 12:43 - 13:15 ???!!!

esreveR

Does anyone know what he's singing about at the very end? What language?

" i can't listen to metal on psychedelics" You fuckin can. you've just been doing it wrong.

Can anyone explain everything after 9:30? why is it there? why is it mostly silence? Why does it go for SO LONG? I feel like it taints an otherwise cool song, but maybe i just dont get it yet

this would make a good rock opera but the money would stop it. the tubes use to do a great cabera. just saying

!eceipretsaM

An odd, fun song.

My least favorite track on the album save for For Absent Friends but still a pretty good song.
