| Unearth – Zombie Autopilot Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I think this song is about how as the years go by, less and less passionate people are present. Everyone is a battery and afraid to step away from conformity. Art, music, science, math aren't progressing like they should because people are following a pattern instead of creating things themselves. | |
| Lamb of God – Black Label Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Do you guys realize that he's just wailing and screaming throughout the entire song? I am a HUGE Lamb of God fan but it's true. I heard that they put lyrics over the song just to have something to read. I tried following the song with these lyrics but couldnt understand anything. There was a story about randy being drunk whilst recording this and it might be true. It's a kickass song, but he's just making noise. LoL | |

This song is about something I deal with on a regular basis. Society has blindly set up rules on how the public should conduct itself. Popular traditions include weddings, hip hop music, Hollywood etc. Example: Corporate 1:Let's get a bunch of guys that the Black and Latino community can look up to. Corporate 2: They should be well dressed and intelligent right? Corporate 1: No! We don't want another possibility of another Black President. We need the most ignorant black men there are to break out in this so called genre. Corporate 2: How will anyone accept Hip Hop as a genre? I mean, just listen to its name: Hip Hop! Corporate 1: The public will embrace Hip Hop because we have the money to make it mainstream. We definitely know that anything mainstream is treated like scientific law. After we're done, Hip Hop will be the only thing considered music while everything else will be just "noise". Do you know how popular Metallica was? Well, even a great musical act like them will be forgotten when we're through. The idea that we'll be selling is what everyone wants to hear. "All you have to do to be rich and famous is be a rapper". Do you know how well that will sit? The naive idiots will take into that like a cat diving for a mouse. After hearing over and over again that life is all about money, we will demoralize Blacks and Latinos. That's one of the things I believe this song is about; how we're controlled into taking up morals and values that aren't truly ours, but "someone else's dream". An easier example is Weddings. Girls grow up being TAUGHT that her wedding is the greatest moment of her life. If I was a girl or woman, this would offend me greatly. "So you're saying anything that I may ever do in life, no matter how successful, won't compare to the day I'm handed off to a man?" This is a way that girls are taught to: "Stand in reflection of someone else's dream" |

You're so wrong. Tim Lambesis has a great connection with God, so I doubt he'd be writing nihilistic lyrics. a This song is about people who listen to what they want to listen to but disregard anything they don't agree with or is contrary to what they think. It's saying that no matter what is said, we will inevitably only obtain what we feel is most important or "the truth". When Tim says: "but what wisdom is there within us to live based on the feeling of our hearts how many times has instinct let us down never to be thought through never to be questioned " He is talking about how our heart may tell us something, but it's instinct that makes us fail in the end. Instead of using our mind to question and think through decisions or ideas, we rely on our heart. Something I got from this song was to think with your mind and not your heart. Popular culture always tells us to do the opposite, "Well what does your heart tell you?" This is a bad mindset IMO. "say what you really mean when your ambition calls you for what use is there in praying if you will only hear what you want to hear?" I think Tim is now reverting the idea by calling out people who say things that people want to hear instead of saying what they really think,"When your ambition calls you". Tim then reasserts by asking what's the use of praying to God if you're only going to hear what you want and not hear what God has to say. Example: Trevor: God, I pray to you because there's someone that makes me mad and I wanna stab him in the chest. Trevor: God spoke to me and said that I SHOULD stab him in the neck. See, if Trevor would have read the bible, he would have realized God's true answer to his question, but this isn't a theological discussion. Throughout this song, I believe Tim has a recurring message that we should speak our minds no matter what. I can relate to this song because I am constantly told by peers that I'm too opinionated. But if I told people what they wanted to hear instead of the honest truth, I would only be "blindly seeking truth from sentiments". |
