I'm the result of an ageless redemption
A body with a heartless convention
A face with a smile that's been shut down for years
Facing the facts of my generation, 'cause
I'm a sinner, a winner, my blood is getting thinner
I might as well get another life cause I've been there
I know what's been said and I know what's been done
Don't you tell me I'm the only one, cause I
I will be there looking for something
Coming straight out of nothing, just killing time
Facing those walls so black, so vile
I really am waiting for nothing
Coming straight out of something, just killing time
Facing those walls so black, so vile
Now put your trust in a solid machine
Filled with words that have never been seen
A plague to insatiable souls left to die
Charged with mankind's raw energy
I rumble, I stumble
My memory starts to crumble
I can't refuse what's haunting my dreams
Have I stumbled?
On my way to a created perfection
I penetrate the gates of rejection
There's no determination, echoes of a failed gallery
There's yet extermination, inside us all screaming
A body with a heartless convention
A face with a smile that's been shut down for years
Facing the facts of my generation, 'cause
I'm a sinner, a winner, my blood is getting thinner
I might as well get another life cause I've been there
I know what's been said and I know what's been done
Don't you tell me I'm the only one, cause I
I will be there looking for something
Coming straight out of nothing, just killing time
Facing those walls so black, so vile
I really am waiting for nothing
Coming straight out of something, just killing time
Facing those walls so black, so vile
Now put your trust in a solid machine
Filled with words that have never been seen
A plague to insatiable souls left to die
Charged with mankind's raw energy
I rumble, I stumble
My memory starts to crumble
I can't refuse what's haunting my dreams
Have I stumbled?
On my way to a created perfection
I penetrate the gates of rejection
There's no determination, echoes of a failed gallery
There's yet extermination, inside us all screaming

You know, that industrial vocoder growl thing that distorts your voice and shit

I love the riff at that part.
You are thinking of 'The Bringer'.
Also, its not about being rejected, is about fearing rejection, so he's avoiding situations where he can be rejected. Probably because hes been rejected/hurt before, and dosent want it to happen again. So hes playing the role of rejection before anybody can reject him.
"Now put your trust in a solid machine
Filled with words that have never been seen"
Means that he needs to conform to other people's norms, or conform to society to fit in (machine = society)
"I will be there looking for something
Coming straight out of nothing, just killing time
Facing those walls so black, so vile"
Just waiting, doign nothing, killing time, hoping that something good will happen. But hes really just waiting for something to come out of nothing (since hes just waiting)
"On my way to a created perfection
I penetrate the gates of rejection"
Means hes on his way towards happiness/acceptance/relationship, but prefers the "safe" route, and avoids it, thus penetrating the gates of rejection.
"There's no determination, echoes of a failed gallery"
Once again, echoes of a failed gallery = hurt in the past. So theres no determination to get a new ralationship/friendship.
"There's yet extermination, inside us all screaming"
But hes alone (extermination), and its screaming inside of him. he dosent want to be alone.
It pretty much goes with the whole album of social outcasts.
Soilwork and In Flames made the videos together, and they are good friends in real life.
SOILWORK VS. IN FLAMES FOREVER
