Our friends are all hurting from moments and regrets and charity laced with a lie
Still we keep hoping, to fix all the defects and strengthen these seminal times
We go on together for better or worse, our history is to real to hate
Now and forever we stay until morning, and promise to fight for our fate

'Til we die
'Til we die

The start of a journey is every bit worth it, I cant let you down anymore
The sky is still clearing, we're never afraid and the consciences opens the door
I never stopped trying, I never stopped feeling like family is much more than blood
Don't go on without me, the piece that I represent compliments each and everyone

'Til we die
'Til we die

We won't be forgotten we'll never give in
This war we've achieved has allowed us to win

'Til we die
'Til we die

My last true confession will open your eyes
I've never known trust like the nine
Let it be spoken, let it be screamed, they'll never ever take us alive

'Til we die
'Til we die

We won't be forgotten we'll never give in
This war we've achieved has allowed us to win

Carry on
Carry on

(We'll never be broken, we won't be denied)
(Our war is the present we need to deny)
(We'll never be broken, we won't be denied)
(Our war is the present we need to deny)

'Til we die
'Til we die

We won't be forgotten we'll never give in
This war we've achieved has allowed us to win

Carry on
Carry on

We'll never be broken, we wont be denied, our war is the present we need to deny

'Til we die
'Til we die

We won't be forgotten we'll never give in ('Til we die)
This war we've achieved has allowed us to win ('Til we die)

We'll never be broken, we won't be denied ('Til we die)
Our war is the present we need to deny ('Til we die)

    This is a beautiful song! The meaning is about the bonds between the members of the band and all the things they went trough together!

    They are destined to be one of the greatest bands in history!

    for the record the lyrics are wrong in one spot he says "I can't let you down anymore" not "I can" as the lyrics above suggest..

    This is a bonus track off the new album.

    I say it's about being true to yourself until the day you die and not selling your soul for anything.

    good interpitation but it is a song written for the band for all the shit they have been through together and make it through it all together as freinds(family) cause they see each other as family. some people say this will be slipknots last album but i think this song tips that they arent going away

    i agree with SlipknotTillWeDie to some extent but i believe this is their last album. I think its really about staying friends after they split. No matter what happens, they will always stay friends and that bond will never be broken

    I fken love this song. lol. It's so inspirational and the vocals, chords, and lyrics just scream out the strength of the friendship shared between all nine of them.

    This is their song. A tribute to their friendship and the fact that they'll continue to face whatever shyt life throws at them or whatever fate has in store for them, they'll soldier on till death.

    Regradless of all the shyt they've faced together in their personal life as well as music careers, their negative/positive experiences faced together only strengthens their friendships.

    Their "war" is their determination and strength to endure their struggles and not to crack under the pressures of their lives.

    "I've never stopped feeling like family is much more than blood" They say blood is thicker than water, but i think to eachother blood doesn't mean a shyt, it doesn't come between the fact that after all the shyt they've gone through together just as any family does in life. They're a band of brothers.

    "Don't go on without me, the piece that I represent, complements each and every one" I think it's hinting something about the band here. That if any one of the nine were to decide to up and leave or "kick the bucket" (which i hope not, God forbid), the band would no longer go on, since each and everyone of the nine (#0, #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8) compliments a piece of the whole puzzle, the band i.e.

    To lose a member would be to lose a family member as well as a bit of the "tie" that creates the knot, a.k.a "Slipknot".

    freezedrysealdan, I hope this isn't their last album. Slipknot keep the spirit of metal music alive. \m/.

    Hey, I agree with you all and I reckon this song is actually written by Corey about himself and how he feels about Slipknot. There was loads of uncertainty leading up to them all getting together to create the new album, partly because Corey was having some success with Stone Sour and maybe the other members of Slipknot felt that things were coming to an end?

    It just seems to be from Corey's point of view. It put a smile on my face but got me thinking..........is this the beginning or the end?

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation.

From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
