In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Jumpdafuckup!
Muthafucka you don't understand all my hate!
Muthafucka you don't understand all my rage!
Muthafucka you don't understand all my pain!
Muthafucka you don't understand......
You seem to sever all my frequencies
I'm tethered to your energies
And everything turns inside out
I can't be killed but I'm not too proud.....
Maybe you would like to peak through the curtain
At the same mistake you know you always make, but...
All I really wanna know is
Are you gonna lay the fuck back down
Or jumpdafuckup?
Walking in the streets and looking at all this shit
I'm full of hate, don't fuck with me
Walking in the streets and looking at all this shit
Open up your eyes and fucking see
We got the tribe against society
We got to fight the real enemy
Get the fuck up, stand the fuck up, back the fuck up!
All this is making things a bit insane
And I don't care who stares or stays
The only thing that matters is
Will you reach out if you can't resist?
Maybe you don't give a shit for the rest of us
But if you do the time is now, if it ever was
If you're gonna fight, whatcha gonna do?......
Jumpdafuckup!
Muthafucka you don't understand all my hate!
Muthafucka you don't understand all my rage!
Muthafucka you don't understand all my pain!
Muthafucka you don't understand......
How dare you single out my honesty?
Compare me to your travesties?
I only wanna see you fight
The darkness you wanna live your life by......
And if you're gonna quit
I don't give a shit
What the fuck? I'm a Mack truck
Are you gonna give up like a bitch
Or jumpdafuckup?
Walking in the streets and looking at all this shit
I'm full of hate, don't fuck with me
Walking in the streets and looking at all this shit
Open up your eyes and fucking see
We got the tribe against society
We got to fight the real enemy
Get the fuck up, stand the fuck up
Fuck the fuck uuuuup!!
I'm a self-destructive piece of shit
Smear me in
I don't owe you a goddam thing
This life never had the swing
I don't wanna be immortal or legend or anything
Cause the longer I'm alive, the better of you'll be
Get ready for epitome... come on and pity me...
Will you kill me if I say please?
I'm the same old reason not to try
What the hell?
Beat to death with a shovel and a new smell
Come and get me; Mom would never let me do it
I'm ruined, I don't want anything from you
Cause I've got nothing left to prove, come on
My time, everything feels fine, goodbye
Killing from the inside
Muthafucka you don't understand all my hate!
Muthafucka you don't understand all my rage!
Muthafucka you don't understand all my pain!
Muthafucka you don't understand......
You seem to sever all my frequencies
I'm tethered to your energies
And everything turns inside out
I can't be killed but I'm not too proud.....
Maybe you would like to peak through the curtain
At the same mistake you know you always make, but...
All I really wanna know is
Are you gonna lay the fuck back down

Walking in the streets and looking at all this shit
I'm full of hate, don't fuck with me
Walking in the streets and looking at all this shit

Get the fuck up, stand the fuck up, back the fuck up!
All this is making things a bit insane

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
is soulfly any good?
In short. No. Sepultura is way better
