You Against You Lyrics

I had your back, but it's no use
False accusations are on the loose
You know what? It makes no sense that you tied your own noose
You never felt the sores decay
Your perfect world is ending today
So what? I wouldn't have it any other way

[Lead: Holt]

Is this your paradise? You think you thought this through?
'Cause when you rolled the dice, the house came down on you
Don't care what you do or say, your suicide begins today
Have fun in paradise, this hell is just for you

You against you
Shitty time to make a stand all without a master plan, just you
You against you

So how's your paradise? Hindsight just laughs at you
With conflict comes a price, that price weighs heaviest on you
I guess I should say thanks, dissension in the ranks
Your panic lit the fuel, now it's you against you
You against you

Wasn’t looking for a fight, but I'm showing up tonight
Shitty time to make a stand all without a master plan, just you
You against you

[Lead: Holt, King]

These seeds are what you've sown
Never should have lit that fuse
Enjoy your paradise
This hell is just for you

You against you
Wasn’t looking for a fight, but I'm showing up tonight
Shitty time to make a stand all without a master plan, just you
You against you

[Lead: King]

Nic ,why the fuck had you to post your shitty comment 4 freaking times? as far as i understand the song speaks in general about someone digging his own grave .Due to his ego picking fights , he bit more than he could chew. he is going self destructive and doesnt give a fuck about it

My Interpretation

@Soralexand I cleaned up the multiple posts. Sometimes users accidentally hit the post button if it is slow to update / add to the site (so could be why they had four posts). In the future instead of flaming then simply flag the duplicates (leave one without a flag) and they will be picked up by admin and subsequently removed.

This is a song written directly to Dave Lombardo. Slayer ex-drummer who quit the band via social media and said a bunch of stuff that the rest of the band feel were false. He did it while they were on a commercial flight to Australia so they couldn't respond to any of it for quite a few hours. Well played and yet now he's not in Slayer lol

This song has many meanings, but it prioritize mostly about how evil society has become. At first couple of lines you see it's someone who had been betrayed by false accusations. Someone enjoying the fruit of evil he had committed till one day all hell breaks lose. He is literally facing his alter ego. He is facing his own evil this day. Hence you against you. "Shitty time to make a stand, all without a master plan, just you" We all know how criminals have masterplans and how they play God, hiding under cyberscreen, hiding under scope, eyes of common people. Richest criminals are always getting it their way. They think they are some kind of badass but it is a false believe. When he has to face all those knucleheads all alone he is horrified. But who is he actually fighting? He is fighting against his crimes in one way or another if you believe in karma.. look at it this way.. why did I say this is about evil society? Look at all we do. No matter how much we admit or not(mankind is full of good hypocrites) we have all done wrong against others one point or not. We have cheated, mistreated, judged, done all kind of wrong. Some men and women go further seeking worldly pleasures, thinking they are some kind of God. They are free. They can do anything they want. But when all those evil haunts them back.. you know. Another thing, we beat up each other everyday. There is a constant fight going on within us thanks to our huge ego promoted by society. We are all fighting against ourselves. How do we even think about stopping war when all we love is war war war war. Basically war. They say men of war only realize the value of life when they get old.. beaten dogs. So basically, being a rude-ass self-absorbed persona ain't serving you or society. It is just promoting fights. More fights. And men must realize the real enemy when they wanna fight. Sometimes it's just our own selves. For a criminal, his own desires and inability to overcome hatred become his enemy. I cannot be 100% correct but that's what i can relate to.
