About This Track

'Unclean Spirit' by Code Orange is a 2014 metal track from the album 'I Am King'. The lyrics are a hostile, self-accusing address to corrupting touch and night-time numbness, turning from feeling drained to an insistence on “the awakening” that reframes pain as something transformative. The voice demands inward looking, stripped of emotion, as if to cut the connection between bodily distress and moral collapse, then drag meaning back to a single, stubborn will.

"Unclean Spirit" is a track by Code Orange, from the album I Am King, released 1st September 2014. The track is 2:12 long. It's filed under Metal. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Code Orange.

Lyrics

Unclean Spirit

There is nothing more that drains me than the tasteless contact that the night brings
It is vapid and forceless
Your skin corroding, my morals left me alone here
The pain my body feels means nothing
Nothing

The awakening of my spirit means everything
Reflect inward without emotion

My body is conscious
My spirit is unclean
My body is conscious
My spirit is unclean
I am no longer fulfilled
Satisfy me

My body is conscious
My spirit is unclean
I am no longer fulfilled
Satisfy me

I am no longer fulfilled
My body is conscious
My spirit is unclean
I am no longer fulfilled

Satisfy me
Satisfy me
