Distortion Sleep Lyrics
Nobody gives a damn
It's up to you how to hide to flee
Their hunger never ends
Hateful design builds the structure divine
A territory cold as ice
An endless empire with cynic desire
Born of a broken spell
Feeling like a guttersnipe standing in line
Deciding his lifestyle by rolling the dice
One will stand another will fall down
Find your way out from the constant lack [2X]
Cause their lips are sealed now
Their honesty never to be found
Hateful design builds the structure divine
A territory cold as ice
An endless empire with cynic desire
Born of a broken spell
another hidden excuse
for being such a savior
distorting your sick self abuse

This song is simple...Anarchy...Soilwork has sever anti establishment undertows in many of their songs...
"You gotta get yourself a picture of what is going on Cause their lips are sealed now Their honesty never to be found Hateful design builds the structure divine A territory cold as ice An endless empire with cynic desire Born of a broken spell
Your pride is just a symbol another hidden excuse for being such a savior distorting your sick self abuse"
Think about it...it makes perfect sense.

El Cid is completely correct, even Soilwork's name regards a struggle between the small amount of rich men on the planet, and the vast amount of poor masses. It's all over them, and this song is almost a flagship for their disillusionment.
They're saying: You're asleep, sheeple. Time to wake up and give a shit about yourself.

This song is so intense! I love it. The chorus is just so beautiful. I can\'t extract an exact meaning out of this one but it sure is a sweet song.

this song rox!

it sounds like "got to stop standing in line" not "guttersnipe standing in line"

it sounds like "got to stop standing in line" not "guttersnipe standing in line"

So melodic.

Oh and Disturbed, I think it sounds like that too BUT it couldn't be because of the context...
"Feeling like i gotta stop standing in line Deciding his lifestyle by rolling the dice"
The context wouldn't work..? Wouldn't it be "my" not "his"?
Just a thought.

thats just to be mysterious i luv soilwork, all the songs i have absolutely ROCK holy crap, where have these guys been hiding all my life?

I love Soilwork's songs because they're usually so ambiguous.
