Screaming at a Wall Lyrics
I'm gonna knock it down
Anyway that I can
I'm gonna scream, I'm gonna yell
I don't wanna have to use my hands
It's like screaming at a wall
Someday it's gonna fall
You build that wall up around you
And now you can't see out
And now you can't hear my words
No matter how hard I shout
It's like screaming at a wall
Someday it's gonna fall
You're safe inside and you know it
'Cause I can't get to you
And you know I resent it
And my temper grows
You better reinforce those walls
Until you don't have room to stand
'Cause someday those bricks are gonna fall
Someday I'm gonna use my hands
Anyway that I can
I'm gonna scream, I'm gonna yell
I don't wanna have to use my hands
Someday it's gonna fall
And now you can't see out
And now you can't hear my words
No matter how hard I shout
Someday it's gonna fall
You're safe inside and you know it
'Cause I can't get to you
And you know I resent it
And my temper grows
Until you don't have room to stand
'Cause someday those bricks are gonna fall
Someday I'm gonna use my hands

i think that the wall is the defense or front that people put up and he's trying to get to the real person inside but he's built this wall up so much its impossible. and the "I don't wanna have to use my hands" is talking about nonviolent resolutions but "Someday I'm gonna use my hands." i agree with minorxxthreat though he is really pissed off. i get mad at people who have fronts like this.
Who's hiding? you'll never know...
The best Minor Threat song.
Fucking passionate.
i think its about trying to get the point across to someone who just wont listen, almost like the phrase "talking to the wind". and then you get pissed off because they totally disregaurd what you say.
this song makes me wanna scream at a wall.....
......hahaha
hes basically talking about how everyones so closeminded and they wont hear or understand wut the fuck he's sayin its like screamin at a wall someday they're all gonna fall
Mmmmmmmm...it appears the man can't do a damn thing and she's waving her finger in his face saying Eat Shit and Die, Jerk. Gotta love this song! Too bad the band didn't last.
