Stand Lyrics

Some may sever
Some may never...
Some may take their needs then go...
Some find heaven
...In sevens and elevens
Some may chase the even flow
But:
Some may never...some may never even know

Some may leave us
...Take us or leave us
Some must face their fears to grow
Some mind heaven
...Through sevens and elevens
Some must taste their heathen glow
But:
Some may never
Some of you will never even know...

...Ready?

I'VE COME FACE TO FACE WITH MYSELF, MAN
SANCTIFY THE EARLY LIGHT JUST LIKE THE OLD MAN CAN, BOY!
CHANGE THE WORLD?? YOU BETTER CHANGE YOURSELF MAN, BOY...MAN
CHALLENGE THE MIND TO BE MORE LIKE THE ROLLING OCEAN MAN!

And BURN!

BURN!!!

Thou now behold us: The souls of those who anger overcame
Thou now behold us: The souls of those who anger overcame

SOME FIND JESUS
SOME MAY NEVER EVEN STAND!!!

STAND!

I WILL NOT, I WILL NOT GO!
(I want to know why we are metal...)
I WILL LET, I WILL LET GO!
I I I I I
(harmony, harmony...walk to war)

I STAND!!!

STAND!!!

I WILL LET GO! I WILL GO!!!

I fall now... I'm letting go
I call tonight, I'm letting go
I crawl...but now, I'm letting go
I fall tonight...I'm letting go...
I'm letting go
I'm letting go
(I will let go babe...)

To thine own selves be true...show me
I'm not afraid...
I know myself...
SHOW YOURSELF!!

Do not pretend to know...there's NEVER a time but now
And I will never back down...DO YOU HEAR ME ?!?!?

I STAND!!!
STAND!!!
(no more hate, no more hate!!!)
STAND!!!

I WILL NOT, I WILL NOT GO!!!
(I want to know why we are metal...)
I WILL LET, I WILL LET GO!

I WILL LET GO!!

FALL OUT, THEN FALL BACK IN LINE...SHUT IT!!

Personally I think this song is about addiction and taking a "stand" against it. The part, "some find heaven" deals with how people turn to religion for dealing with an addiction. And "I've come face to face with myself" means he's had to fight himself with the part that wants to get better against the part that wants to give in. "I will not go" and "I will let go" are his two halves conflicting to choose their action. Then the part of "I'm letting go" is him losing the fight to temptation but is then reinvigorated when he says "And I will never back down....Do you hear me?".

My Interpretation

Mikael's part(s) in this song are phenomenal. Then again, all the guest appearances on this album are glorious. Wonderful work.

Such an immense song- I'm feeling elements of different bits of his material at around 8 mins I get such a vibe of his classic signature sound underneath the beginnings of Decon madness.

... Ready?

the intro of the main character and his normal life, before ziltoid declares his attack on the planet.

you meet him as a normal factory engineer worker with a normal family.

he could really care less about his family or his life, as he harbors dark thoughts of humanity.

he spends day and night trying to discover the secrets of the universe himself, writing equations. however, one stands out, one that has potential to save the world.

I may be taking this literally;

"Some find heaven, ...In sevens and elevens"

May describe panning for change, looking for you next "fix".
