So Divided Lyrics
I hear the noise back in town
Let's gather everyone
And go see what they're
Up to now
Driving in, driving out
From hotel to the bar
All our friends are here
Somehow they seem so divided
Hear the voice crying out
Screaming every song
Not that anyone understands
Diving in, diving out
The terrified crowd
All our bands are here
Somehow they seem so divided
Want to see where the fight is
Look around....
I hear the sound of a voice inside my head
Saying things that I can't understand
Telling me a life may soon be dead
I wonder from what hand
The words they say are too hard to conceive
I try my best to never listen
Can't you see I'm struggling to conceal
These thoughts from everyone?
It's not that I don't care
And I don't want to hurt you
It's just the worst I fear is coming out
Coming out of me
You know I've heard you say that I'm not real
I know you think that I can't understand
Truth is I am trying hard to deal
This is not what I had planned
It's not that I don't care
It's not that I don't love you
It's just that I am here
To put you out of your misery
I'll put you out of your misery
All of you lovers who think you're in love
I'll put you out of your misery
All of your children born under the sky
I'll put you of your misery
Venom that you can't conceive
Is pouring out of the depths of me
You think you're free, you've been deceived
I'll put you out of your misery
You think the future is warm and bright
But it is death and I'm your destiny
You think you'll be protected by god
I'll put you out of your misery
I was put down to bring you down
And put you out
Let's gather everyone
And go see what they're
Up to now
Driving in, driving out
From hotel to the bar
All our friends are here
Somehow they seem so divided
Screaming every song
Not that anyone understands
Diving in, diving out
The terrified crowd
All our bands are here
Somehow they seem so divided
Want to see where the fight is
Look around....
Saying things that I can't understand
Telling me a life may soon be dead
I wonder from what hand
The words they say are too hard to conceive
I try my best to never listen
Can't you see I'm struggling to conceal
These thoughts from everyone?
It's not that I don't care
And I don't want to hurt you
It's just the worst I fear is coming out
Coming out of me
I know you think that I can't understand
Truth is I am trying hard to deal
This is not what I had planned
It's not that I don't care
It's not that I don't love you
It's just that I am here
To put you out of your misery
I'll put you out of your misery
I'll put you out of your misery
All of your children born under the sky
I'll put you of your misery
Venom that you can't conceive
Is pouring out of the depths of me
You think you're free, you've been deceived
I'll put you out of your misery
You think the future is warm and bright
But it is death and I'm your destiny
You think you'll be protected by god
I'll put you out of your misery
I was put down to bring you down
And put you out

I think that this is one of the best songs on Trail Of Dead's new album, it's a very powerful song that is very well composed.
Conrad sings about alot of deep emotions and presents songs with depth, but many fans just like the hard guitar and screaming vocals that inspire there mosh pitting.
-All of you lovers who think you're in love -All of your children born under the sky -You think you're free, you've been deceived -You think the future is warm and bright / But it is death and I'm your destiny -You think you'll be protected by god
It's pretty depressing in a way, but it sounds like someone who tries to open someone's mind that has been blind in aspects like life, love, reality... I love it. One of their best songs overall.
The first half only sets the table. It is not what the song is about. The first half paints a picture of people who are at odds converging to socialize , but ultimately to fight, most likely with mortal outcomes. Now, the second half is sung from the point of view of death. Death glibly reminds all that our differences divide us and more than anything are folly. Wastes of time, energy, love, and ultimately life. Death is being a smart ass - snidely telling us it will relieve all of us of these bullshit miseries which are in large part self imposed anyhow . No body alive will escape what death was put down here to do. So don't waste the most precious thing you'll ever know - especially with hate and strife.
