Repressed Lyrics
I travelled the way that you showed me
Left all my sorrow behind
I’m living with rules you once told me
Expecting myself to be fine
So why the fuck am I lonely
There’s no one inside I can call
To give up the fight is a warning
The one day to stand you will fall
I left my sorrow behind
Warning not to give up the fight
Your words that gave me direction
Helped me turn into what I thought I wanted
Fists that gave me protection
Helped me deal with you
So for now our days are through
Nothing left
Nothing rests
Nothing grasp
You declared what your faith is
But you still have the fear
The way you’ve left your life open
Will no bring your destiny here
Do I continue my journey
Confusion is wrapped in my mind
So when your gone with your martyr
You can continue your lies
Your words that gave me direction
Helped me turn into what I thought I wanted
Fists that gave me protection
Helped me deal with you
So for now our days are through
I left my sorrow behind
I left my sorrow behind
Warning not to give up the fight
Warning not to give up the fight
You declared what your faith is
But you still have the fear
I will continue my journey
I need your lies nomore
Your words that gave me direction
Helped me turn into what I thought I wanted
Fists that gave me protection
Helped me deal with you
So for now our days are through
Nothing left
Nothing rests
Nothing grasp
Never underrate the man with nothing left inside
Never underrate the man with nothing left inside
Left all my sorrow behind
I’m living with rules you once told me
Expecting myself to be fine
There’s no one inside I can call
To give up the fight is a warning
The one day to stand you will fall
Warning not to give up the fight
Helped me turn into what I thought I wanted
Fists that gave me protection
Helped me deal with you
So for now our days are through
Nothing rests
Nothing grasp
But you still have the fear
The way you’ve left your life open
Will no bring your destiny here
Do I continue my journey
Confusion is wrapped in my mind
So when your gone with your martyr
You can continue your lies
Helped me turn into what I thought I wanted
Fists that gave me protection
Helped me deal with you
So for now our days are through
I left my sorrow behind
Warning not to give up the fight
Warning not to give up the fight
But you still have the fear
I will continue my journey
I need your lies nomore
Helped me turn into what I thought I wanted
Fists that gave me protection
Helped me deal with you
So for now our days are through
Nothing rests
Nothing grasp
Never underrate the man with nothing left inside

this song's awesome!!! apocalyptica, Matt Tuck and Max Cavalera sounds great!!
I think its about the government telling lies to people.
I think its about whating to be something he's not.then someone helps you to get there and now he doesnt even want to know the person anymore
I agree with berzerker, I can definatly relate to this one.
What's the language of the words the guy in the background is saying? Italian maybe? Você Precisa direcção, Me diga a verdade, Protecção, etc.
I found it completely by chance, actually. Good for me, asking before looking. Anyways, someone said it was Portuguese and gave the following translation:
Você precisa direcção --> You need direction Me diga a verdade --> Tell me the truth Protecção --> Protection
you do know that max cavalera is brazilian right?
you do know that max cavalera is brazilian right?
I find it more like a military-government thing. Since Max is there, he has this custome to sing song about that. So, in a way it is a conversation between Matt and Max; imagine Matt is a young adult recruit and Max is the President. So, Max promised him many things for him to fight, actually promised him to be with him in war while fighing, but eventually Matt finds out he's out there alone. So, imagine those soldiers that are left behind, who hoped to be rescued by their government who always say they will be with their soldiers all the time. It's like a hypocritical message by the President who says will lead his soldiers to victory, also the message that tells they are worth for nothing else, but to fight. You need directions and protection. People need their soldiers and me (President). About: tell me the truth is a little confusing, but it can be the soldiers asking for the truth. The fists can be their guns, which the Army taught them to use. So, they protected him but also helped him come through their misery. In the end, these soldiers can become the worst enemy you can ever have. So never understimate them. You prepared them, you trained them, you sent them to fight, you left them there rotting, don't get scared when they come back for answers.
