| Audioslave – Show Me How to Live Lyrics
| 15 years ago

As the title suggests, he is questioning the purpose of life, from the "creator". The creator can mean a few things; most will say a higher power (a god) or a parent. This song is religious and yet not religious. "Nail in my hand" can mean two things: a nail hammered through the hand (a reference to Jesus' crucifixion) or holding a nail in one's hand (symbolism for work). "From my creator" may mean that he feels th creator is responsible for the nail (whichever one works). "You gave me a life now show me how to live" Here he questions the meaning of life. The creator was able to make him, but didn't give any instructions on life.
So this is a song about questioining the meaning of life, with religious symbolism. |

I think "It's coming back around again" might refer to the old saying "What goes around comes around" which basically refers to bad karma (do a bad thing, and bad things happen to you). In this case the Mexican government has oppressed and been unjust, and now the Zapatistas are fighting back, because the government had it coming.
I like how while this is an angry song, the lyrics show that they are smarter than mindless anger. |

Quite simple, this song talks about how war is a "game" for politicians and world leaders to get more power and money. Politics have nothing to do with it, so I don't know why you lot are arguing about them. |
