To The Rats Lyrics
To hide behind
Barricade
Built up inside
You think you're safe
But someday we all will find you
Come to where you work
And fucking tie you
Every lie
Shot back
To your throat
By our hands
A skull-fuck
For every word
you try to breathe
Don't fuck with this
Break every bone in your face
If you mess with my life
I'll mess with your blood
And bury you
In a coffin made of your
A coffin made of your deceptions
Off the set*
Each second fades
In denial of your ??
Till your jealousy reseeds you
You're really in love
With all that I do
Every lie
Shot back
To your throat
By our hands
A skull-fuck
For every word
you try to breathe
Don't fuck with this
Break every bone in your face
If you mess with my life
I'll mess with your blood
And bury you
In a coffin made of your
A coffin made of your deceptions
This is to the rats
This is to the rats
This is to the rats
This is to the rats
In your conscience
...
You secretly want to be
Just like me
A skull-fuck
For every word
you try to breathe
Don't fuck with this
Break every bone in your face
If you mess with my life
I'll mess with your blood
And bury you
In a coffin made of your
A coffin made of your deceptions
Break every bone in your face
If you mess with my life
I'll mess with your blood
And bury you
In a coffin made of your
A coffin made of your deceptions
Barricade
Built up inside
You think you're safe
Come to where you work
And fucking tie you
Every lie
Shot back
To your throat
By our hands
For every word
you try to breathe
Don't fuck with this
If you mess with my life
I'll mess with your blood
And bury you
In a coffin made of your
A coffin made of your deceptions
Each second fades
In denial of your ??
Till your jealousy reseeds you
You're really in love
With all that I do
Shot back
To your throat
By our hands
For every word
you try to breathe
Don't fuck with this
If you mess with my life
I'll mess with your blood
And bury you
In a coffin made of your
A coffin made of your deceptions
This is to the rats
This is to the rats
...
You secretly want to be
Just like me
For every word
you try to breathe
Don't fuck with this
If you mess with my life
I'll mess with your blood
And bury you
In a coffin made of your
A coffin made of your deceptions
If you mess with my life
I'll mess with your blood
And bury you
In a coffin made of your
A coffin made of your deceptions

as for the song, it is basically written to the Trivium haters out there. Don't mess with Trivium, you'll probably get skullfucked and every bone in your face broken. this song really kicks ass. When you threaten another person's family like that ("If you mess with my life I'll mess with your blood"), you have to be a true badass, and thats exactly what Matt Heafy is. After a kickass song, he busts out some sweet vocals out of nowhere when he sings "Deceptions." that was so cool when i heard that.
@bpcrshooter15 agree with your interpretation ... only problem is that actions speak louder than words, so the lyrics may be a little overly aggressive (depending on the audience I suppose)

basic hate song. if you fuck with my life, i fuck with yours
You fuck wit me, I fuck wit you... this is prolly the meaning, and seriously, demonfury, you a funny ass dude...on the other hand, maybe just over analyzed it a bit
I don't think this show's what Trivium turned into, but I think it's just their "fuck you" song. Everybody's got one, and they're never lyrically brilliant, particularly this song. And btw, skull fuck is an awesome term
1st * :built up inside
2nd * :A Skullfuck
I dont know the 3rd * but in that stanza, the last three lines are "Still your jealousy reseeds you, Your really in love with all that i do"
great song! one of the best song in the album
here's the actual lyrics:
You hide behind the barricades Built of facades, you think you're safe But someday we all find you Come to where you work And fucking tie you
Every lie Shoved back Down your throat By our hands
A skull fuck For every word Just try to breathe Don't fuck with this
(chorus) Break every bone in your face If you mess with my life (mess with our life) I'll mess your blood Bury you in a coffin made of your A coffin made of your deceiptions
Obsess as each second fades In denial of your mind made Still your jealousy precedes you You're really in love With all that I do
This is to the rats
And your conscience still tears at you You secretly Want to be just like me
This song kicks fucking ass.
Demonnfury is talking out of his ass
I think this is their best song in term of solos, especially the one that sounds like a complete rip-off of "The Thing that Should Not Be".
Awesome.
