DevilDriver – Knee Deep

What do I have to do, for this?

I love this, please push me harder
I just keep getting meaner
I'm growing from the pain

How about you! Shit

Life, it's hard, it makes me stronger
A warrior seeking victory
I'll push it 'til the end, push it 'til the end
Push it 'til the end, shit the end, shit the end

Knee deep in the shit
All together in the pit
All forever
In the shit for this

Pirate, poet, fucking killer
It's all what you've made me
What has life made you
Made you, shit

Life, chalk it up to desire
Of which I've had my fill
I just keep pushing forward, keep pushing forward still
Keep
Pushing forward still, shit, still, shit, still

Knee deep in the shit
All together in the pit
All forever in the shit for
This

So if you feel the need, bring it, bring it
And if you just want to spit it out, bring it, bring it
And if you just
See your way clear then, bring it, bring it

Knee deep in the shit
All together in the pit
All forever in the shit for
This

Knee deep in the shit
For this
Knee deep in the shit
For this

    General Comment"This is probably a good song to head butt pieces of wood, to (If you enjoy doing that kind of thing)... "

    Even better to swallow splinters!

    "A warrior seeking victory "
    He's obviously a diehard muthafuka that won't ever stop dealing with problems in life...and plans to overcome his adversaries in life...and in the process live life to the fullest.

    General CommentTo me, this song is talking about how "shit happens" ("Knee deep in the shit"). But no matter what, you've gotta keep on pushing through, 'cause what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.

    General CommentOne of my favorite songs off this Album. To me it is saying that we are "Knee deep in the shit" meaning we are exposed to the "shit" of the world. The shit could mean Wars, Murders, Rapes, Rappers, etc. Pretty much things we disgust, yet cannot do much to stop. "Life, chalk it up to desire
    Of which I've had my fill
    I just keep pushing forward, keep pushing forward still" Tells me that no matter what I person goes through you have to chalk up your own desire and fill of what you want in life no matter what has happened. "So if you feel the need, bring it, bring it" If someone/something stands in your way, bring it on, and remove your obstacle.

    General CommentThis is personally one of my favorite songs ever. My bro who is a dj and hosts an internet station dedicated this to me the first time I ever heard it and it was fuck'n insane. To me this song means just going into a nasty pit with your boys and stick'n it through all the way to the end, and even if you take a beat'n you keep on pushing and growing from it. I'm sure we've all been to shows where we look at a group of guys who 'own' the pit, to me this is the song that drives those people to be the lords of the pit for that night!!

    You leave the pit with fractured ankle, black eye, sore ribs, you know it was a good night >=)
