Cut the Cord Lyrics
(Freedom follow me)
(Freedom la la la)
(Freedom)
Cut it!
(Freedom follow me)
(Freedom la la la)
(Freedom)
Not pass aggressive
I got my finger on the pulse
Staring straight into a hole and I get it
And I'm a savage
It's automatic
I've got a way of making noise,
The power to destroy, no static
So cultivate and plant the seed
Hold your breath and count to 10
Just count to 10
So ring the bell
I know it all too well
Switchblade on the edge of your wrist
Can I get a witness (witness)
Cause agony brings no reward
For one more hit and one last score
Don't be a casualty, Cut the Cord!
(Freedom follow me) Cut the cord!
(Freedom la la la)
(Freedom)
Embrace possession
If it was easier to shatter
Everything that ever mattered
But it's not, cause it's all obsession
Back home desire
Complicated and it stings
But we both know what it means
And it's time to get real and inspired
So cultivate and plant the seed
Hold your breath and count to 10
Just count to 10, just count to 10
So ring the bell
I know it all too well
Switchblade on the edge of your wrist
Can I get a witness (witness)
Cause agony brings no reward
For one more hit and one last score
Don't be a casualty, Cut the Cord!
Cut it!
Cut it!
So cultivate and plant the seed
Hold your breath and count to 10
Just count to 10
So ring the bell
I know it all too well
Switchblade on the edge of your wrist
Can I get a witness (witness)
Cause agony brings no reward
For one more hit and one last score
Don't be a casualty, Cut the Cord!
Don't be a casualty, Cut the Cord!
(Freedom follow me) Cut the cord
(Freedom la la la)
(Freedom follow me)
As said by Brent Smith: "...and in your truest moment of weakness...When everyone and everything has betrayed you and evil and hatred has wrapped itself around your mind, body and soul...This is the song that you play...This is the statement to the world that you will not give up, you will not give in, and you refuse to fail!!! Now is your time...to "CUT THE CORD".
Also: "'Cut The Cord' is a wake up call reminding us all that we can control our own destiny by finding the courage and tenacity to destroy whatever it is that's holding us back. The process may not be pretty or perfect or even easy, but absolutely necessary. The song is brutally honest and unapologetic, which is what Shinedown has always been."
heck of a song. And I agree, we should create our own destiny.
This is drug addiction and the recovery thought and effort as I read the lyrics..
I'm gonna make it rain, so ring the bell I know it all too well Switchblade on the edge of your wrist Can I get a witness? (witness) 'Cause agony brings no reward For one more hit and one last score Don't be a casualty, cut the cord
(Freedom, la la la la) (Freedom, follow me) cut the cord (Freedom, la la la la) (Freedom)
You gotta feel courage Embrace possession If it was easier to shatter everything that ever mattered But it's not, because it's your obsession Be a fighter, backbone, desire Complicated and it stings, (but we both know what it means) And it's time to get real and inspired
Now victory is all you need So cultivate and plant the seed Hold your breath and count to ten, just count to ten, just count to ten
Addiction and ignorance of the effect is how slaves are made according to many old books on humanity.. The psychological effect is something to be observed and the society structure that provides the trap. Freedom is an appropriate analogy to cut the cord.
