its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
So after the fucking smoke clears and the dust settles,
we're left with one mission, defending the families name.
We planted our flag years ago and staked our claim.
This ain't mall metal made for little bitches,
this is war metal made for vendettas.
The new breed: Billy Club Sandwich, Everybody Gets Hurt, Sworn Enemy and the mighty, mighty Irate.
So right now I'ma see how far I can shove this underground shit up your ass bitch.
Step up,
You Cowards, Fucking Criminals
Step up, Step Up to Me
Rise Up Avengers, Rise Up
Defend the Family
X2
We will not be broken by a bunch of fucking hypocrites.
I’ve got beef with you putas using our name for your own damn gain it’s a damn shame.
Your music it makes me sick.
You sound like some faggots gagging on Korn’s dick.
You think you could fuck with me, I’ll beat you musically then physically.
Straight out the Bronx, New York,
I got mine, son, step up and get yours.
Step up,
You Cowards, Fucking Criminals
Step up, Step Up to Me
Rise Up Avengers, Rise Up
Defend the Family
X2
Don’t even try to plead your case bitch, it's got more holes than your fucking face.
You’re against establishment but for sponsorship you’ll suck a corporate dick.
So fuck you and your crew, your fans, your friends and all your family too.
I’m ashamed to be your dad and right now you're making me mad yeah you're making me want to
Jump right on a plane, fly first class just to beat your ass and fly home again.
You’re entering a world of pain and I don’t back down when someone fucks with my family.
You should have been a man about this.
Recognized that we pre-exist.
But you took the shady route
And now I’m here to call you out bitch.
Coward,
Criminal,
Fake ass,
Wannabe.
You better step up (punk).

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
dude, are you kidding me? Irate is HARDCORE not metal, so they can't be what metal's all about, right? Hardcore was Hardcore Punk in the beginning. but they evolved in some sort of totally independend style of music
