Billy Talent – This Is How It Goes Lyrics 21 years ago
Howdy, I've got the other version and i've tried to translate it. The main bits where easy cos well there in the new version just the little verses that where hard to hear but i think i've got it write hope this helps;

Just as I began to run You came and stole my legs... Away
Why are all the murals only from the past and all those yesterdays

Is it the same for you?
Its not the same for me
Is it the same for you?
Its not the same for me
Its not the same for you
Is it the same for you?
Its not the same for you
I hope its not the same for YOU!

So I hold my breath 'til my heart explodes
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul
Cause this is how it is and this is how it

Prisoner from my heart save me from this world i'm in
Cos i dont even know myself and my skin feels like it, like it don't fit

Is it the same for you?
Its not the same for me
Is it the same for you?
Its not the same for me
Its not the same for you
Is it the same for you?
Its not the same for you
I hope its not the same for YOU!

So I hold my breath 'til my heart explodes
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul
Cause this is how it is and this is how it

This is, How it, It Goes!
This is, How it, It Goes!
This is, How it, It Goes!
This is, How it, It Goes!

So unscrew my head
And rinse it out
Polish my thoughts
Turn into doubts
Unscrew my head
And rinse it out
Polish my thoughts
Turn into doubts

So I hold my breath 'til my heart explodes
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul
Cause this is how it is and this is how it GOES!

Billy Talent – River Below Lyrics 21 years ago
I agree with the BOMB theory aswell due to the "Contraption...made up of
Nuts and bolts...creates the
New monster...to burn your family tree down" which suggests it.

Basically i think the song has to do with a social reject who wants to be in the eye of society. The only way they can do this is to destroy it because as the song says "I'am sick and I'am twisted". So how does he destroy society by a bomb and if he pushes the button then everyone will know who he is and think he's insane but if someone had actually took interest in him then he wouldn't have been drove to such awfull things.

The song could be linked to the A-Bomb and things like that due to the line quoted at the start of the video "I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds" by J. Robert Oppenheimer. I looked this up and well here is a link to the page i found http://www.atomicmuseum.com/tour/tr5.cfm

Also the video shows a lonely man alone who happens to have a huge home made bomb in his garage. eveything around him is telling him to detanate it; billy talent singing about it, bombs on tv, news paper clippings saying he will be famous and even the blueprints. So he does it, and well then we all fall into the river below which to me symbolises the core of the earth a molton river for thats all thats left after he kills society.
