Distortion Sleep Lyrics

In my town where the system sleeps
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

[Chorus:]
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]

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

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

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.

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.

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