Nerve Lyrics

Call it liberation or frustration,
As it hits like a bomb
Tearing you apart as you're first in line,
Entering the zone
Watch how it runs, a nerve-wracking resistance
Watch how it burns, a venomous script's getting formed
You've travelled a long way to get here
And now it's waking you up

[Chorus]
Walk straight for a final solution
Walk straight, don't you be so cold
Walk straight with clear resolution
I'll state my case and never turn

Watch how it runs, watch how it burns
And it's all a deception
Break it and learn, there's no return
For a presence like mine

You've traveled a long way to get here

It's getting all so clear now, all the things I know
An elapse of conscious progress will last forevermore
My courageous insanity follows an infinite time
I'll be attaching the world
On my shoulders
Without a look
Inside

[Chorus]

If you've seen the video, you'd see it's about a breakup. But more than that, I see it as breaking up with the past and moving on. I don't see any Hitler or holocausts here. It's the final solution, the clear resolution, breaking up with the past self, and moving on.

Courageous insanity is the feeling when you're about to break up. Your mind is a mess, and you're feeling like you're crazy, but the courage lies in the fact that you're ready to end it, and find the means to move on with your life. To find the nerve.

I think the lines "Walk straight for a final solution Walk straight, don't you be so cold Walk straight with a clear resolution I'll state my case and never turn" point at suicide.

  1. line: The final solution is jumping down the rooftop.
  2. line: although you don't have a cold heart killing somebody (in this case yourself) can be seen as a cold action
  3. line: its like giving yourself an order ... "you will jump now and don't think about going back!"
  4. line: same like in the 3rd line

although these ideas seem to be far-fetched they fit the song and the protagonists in the video i think

Sounds like this song is about hitler and the holocaust. That part seems quite obvious...now why they would write this, I have no clue.

-The Final Solution was Hitler's idea of getting rid of the Jews, which he thought would create a better world. -The vocalist is usually seen with a shaved head, which is common among neo-nazis. -The band's name is Soilwork, which could be a reference to Genesis, when god made man. Many neo nazi's believe that god made white man one day, and made other races with the animals. -The band was originally named "Breed" ... that one's obvious.

I'm not saying that they are anti-semitic or racist, I'm just saying that it kinda seems like it.

You are an idiot. The original name was INFERIOR BREED. Not just BREED. Soilwork is not racist. Strid has lost (I am pretty sure at least most of) his hair. It would look AWFUL if he did not shave his head. He is not a nazi. The name SOILWORK refers to working from the ground up in the development of their band, NOT Genesis.

The final solution in this case is suicide... though I don't understand who would be the one saying, don't you be so cold.

why would you say that it's about the holocaust ? it makes sense kinda but what lines make you think that ?

i was thinking that it's about some kind of war..."tearing you apart as you are first in line, entering the zone"

the final solution line does

Cover art for Nerve lyrics by Soilwork

In the video, the final solution ends up being the wrong solution, as we notice in the end that she decides to jump off and kill herself.

OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!!! This band, is by far..THE BEST band I've heard since the new mil. This fucking band kicks some major ass. The very first time I heard this band, I got goosebumps. But. onward to a professional output. Ok. Nevermind, I still can't get over how good this fucking band is. God, if this band was any more perfect, it would give me panty-puddles
