Una cosa que siempre me gustó de Clawfinger es que sus guitarras suenan como cuando arrastras un sillón de 4 plazas, algo que puedes comprobar en este temazo; aunque nunca me gustó lo poco reconocidos que fueron, teniendo en cuenta que fueron pioneros en Europa de una nueva forma de hacer metal. Clawfinger fueron muy grandes por la inmensa calidad de sus discos, y por atreverse a romper las normas en cada uno de sus muchos singles, como este «Two Sides«, con el que los suecos abrían su disco homónimo de 1997. En este corte encontramos un pedazo de riff marca de la casa, ritmos marcados, y el añadido de unos adornos y detalles de influencia árabe, que acompañan la excelente letra del siempre político Zak Tell.

Letra:

There’s nothing a god can give to me that I can’t give to myself
I put my beliefs in the things I believe and a god can take care of himself
There’s not enough love in the world for me to think about wasting my time
It’s not that I don’t believe at all but I don’t need a heavenly sign
I can achieve the things I need without getting down on my knees
I can respect your religion but I don’t want to pay your fees
I don’t want to hear you talk about the things you think that I need
so don’t help me back on my feet again until you can hear me plead
Just look in the holy book of crooks and tell me what you can find
All the rules and the regulations made to manipulate your mind
Don’t pretend that you’re blind just open your mind and study historical times
The bigger the loss the bigger the cost the bigger the cross and its crimes

I don’t believe in a god that I need to worship
I don’t believe that I need to get down on my knees
I don’t believe that a voice from above can help me
I only believe in what I can see and the things that I can achieve

Whatever belief you belong to there’s still always a reason to doubt
and there’s always another opinion as to what life is all about
There’s always a bigger dimension and a different point of view
so I don’t want to try to change you that decision is up to you
Whatever your final choice is and however you choose to live
You’d better be happy for what you can get and happy for what you can give
There’s only one thing to remember there is only one thing you can do
and that is to do unto others as you’d have others do unto you

I don’t believe in a god that I need to worship
I don’t believe that I need to get down on my knees
I don’t believe that a voice from above can help me
I only believe in what I can see and the things that I can achieve

Two sides two sides to every story
two stories more makes four new ones to choose
Four sides four sides to every story
four stories more makes eight new ones to choose
Eight sides eight sides to every story
eight stories more now which one should you choose
now which one can you use

I don’t believe in a god that I need to worship
I don’t believe that I need to get down on my knees
I don’t believe that a voice from above can help me
I only believe in what I can see and the things that I can achieve
