This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Stuck to the dog, pissin' out both ends
I got a hundred lethal weapons that I call my friends
Ain't a person on earth who could take my life
I wish they would so a man could get some sleep at night
But my design is a mixture of descent and decay
I see a monster in the mirror fucking everyday
Can a man ever wash his hands of blood
Perpetual deja vu, isn't that enough
[Chorus]
Peel back the layers, and see what I've become
Satisfied? Now I feel nothing
Stay away, I swear it wasn't me
See if you can relish if you close both eyes
Every time I make an issue of it, someone dies
Carried out like a hit man, set in stone
Don't know why I even bother to be left alone
In my opinion, it's a self-serving fucked up phase
Got a picture in my wallet that I keep, in case I
Gotta go, gotta split, gotta make it to a higher level than this
But I could be wrong, what I say is wrong, what I really want to say is:
[Chorus]
Run, it doesn't matter
I need all the miracles that I can gather
Run, I can't pretend
I put myself in idle hands again
Here's how it ends, just a bit too soon
River deep in all the shit I let myself get into
Doesn't anybody like it here
Blank looks, television drama and no fear
Let another person fuck with your mind
I bet you become the person who will fuck in time
Man I just stopped caring, the music is blaring
I feel you glaring, why won't you stop staring
[Chorus]
Run, it doesn't matter
I need all the miracles that I can gather
Run, I can't pretend
I put myself in idle hands again
Get the fuck off of me
I got a hundred lethal weapons that I call my friends
Ain't a person on earth who could take my life
I wish they would so a man could get some sleep at night
But my design is a mixture of descent and decay
I see a monster in the mirror fucking everyday
Can a man ever wash his hands of blood
Perpetual deja vu, isn't that enough
[Chorus]
Peel back the layers, and see what I've become
Satisfied? Now I feel nothing
Stay away, I swear it wasn't me
See if you can relish if you close both eyes
Every time I make an issue of it, someone dies
Carried out like a hit man, set in stone
Don't know why I even bother to be left alone
In my opinion, it's a self-serving fucked up phase
Got a picture in my wallet that I keep, in case I
Gotta go, gotta split, gotta make it to a higher level than this
But I could be wrong, what I say is wrong, what I really want to say is:
[Chorus]
Run, it doesn't matter
I need all the miracles that I can gather
Run, I can't pretend
I put myself in idle hands again
Here's how it ends, just a bit too soon
River deep in all the shit I let myself get into
Doesn't anybody like it here
Blank looks, television drama and no fear
Let another person fuck with your mind
I bet you become the person who will fuck in time
Man I just stopped caring, the music is blaring
I feel you glaring, why won't you stop staring
[Chorus]
Run, it doesn't matter
I need all the miracles that I can gather
Run, I can't pretend
I put myself in idle hands again
Get the fuck off of me

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

hmmm...is this based on the film 'idle hands'? sounds like it...
i just think it about some one who is possesed and cant conrol where his hands are going or doing...
I think he is talking about how is an emotional fuck up and has put himself at the mercy of other people who in turn have fucked him around.
my veiws have changed i agree with guiff a little but am leaning more towards him and slipknot how people i see on the street are like oh hes better in slipknot, which i heavily disagree cause in my eyes i think that stone sour has impacted slipknot in whole, but this song to me is just saying get away from me i didn't fucking change at all im still the same person same taste same flesh and bone youve loved over and over again so fuck off :)
I'd agree w/ guiffporn. It sounds like this guy is just f*cked up and tortured, and who better to convey that than Corey? I love the part where he screams "WHY WON'T YOU STOP STARING?" That's gotta be the sickest scream on that album.
Yeah I agree that it's someone being screwed by someone else... I really like this song! maggot#8 I love that whole bit: 'Man I just stopped caring, the music is blaring I feel you glaring, WHY WON'T YOU STOP STARING? " but I agree the screams absolutely awesome!
Devil's Little Sister
Disagree with one of the lyrics I hear "my design is a micture of dissent and chaos" I think this also fits better with corey taylor Descent and decay are also parts of his design but nearly as much as dissent and chaos. Thoughts anyone?
