Breeding Thorns Lyrics

You have not seen the last of me
I'm breeding thorns
I'll follow your footsteps down below
I will trust all my instincts and bring it home.

Does it appeal to you now as a part of the violation?
That wherever it takes you, you won't be able to choose.

I will carry the message, it will swallow you whole

[Chorus:]
You ain't never gonna tell again
Caught as the founder of the emptiness
It must have made you stocked
whenever my pride was taken, again and again...

Again and again

Now put your envy in motion, one step at a time
I wanna see the closure when your access is denied

I will bury the damage, I will drench the device

[Chorus]

Now I want you to tell me (tell me again), do you see what I see?
'cause it's so damn obvious to me

[Solo]

(Whenever a promise taken...)

Won't you tell me that it's raw?

[Chorus]

You ain't never gonna tell again.

Hmm... I think someone's hurt him or wronged him somehow. Possibly someone who used to be a friend, but has taken a path "down below" (forsaken friends and values, become a general asshole) and become an enemy. This person has damaged his pride, and is hiding his/herself from the fact that what they're doing and what they've become is wrong. Speed says "You have not seen the last of me; I'm breeding thorns," kind of meaning that he's not going to just sit there and take bullshit, and he's not going to go gently - he's going to stand up for himself, and strike back. The message that will "swallow you whole" is the truth, and he will "bury the damage," heal the wounds in his pride through retaliation and victory. Whenever I hear him say "WON'T YOU TELL ME THAT IT'S RAW!!" it always sounds like he's saying "wrong" and not "raw," which would make more sense to me.. but either way, that's my piece on this one.

Also: I think he's supposed to be saying "stoked," not "stocked." I think.
