None But My Own Lyrics
I am only nothing, I am only this
I am just a man with there two fists
You have asked forgiveness
You have asked respect
Only something that you did forget
All you gave you had planned to take
Beat upon me but I won't break
Stripping everything from me ? No !
Will to me your anger, will to me your rage
Will to me your lies, your sufferings
Not a man of virtue, not even a man
Will not take the hate dealt from your hands
Years of pain I will take and hone
Manifest with your broken bones
My heart bleeds for none but my own
My own
Burn
Burn
I am only nothing, I am only this
I am just a man with these two fists
You're not a man of virtue, not even a man
Will not take the hate dealt from your hands
Years of pain I will take and hone
Manifest with your broken bones
My heart bleeds for none but my own
My own
Burn
Burn
My heart bleeds for none but my own
I am just a man with there two fists
You have asked forgiveness
You have asked respect
Only something that you did forget
Beat upon me but I won't break
Stripping everything from me ? No !
Will to me your lies, your sufferings
Not a man of virtue, not even a man
Will not take the hate dealt from your hands
Manifest with your broken bones
My heart bleeds for none but my own
My own
Burn
I am just a man with these two fists
You're not a man of virtue, not even a man
Will not take the hate dealt from your hands
Manifest with your broken bones
My heart bleeds for none but my own
My own
Burn

I've seen this song two ways, first as a stand of defiance against an abusive authority figure, second as a warning to someone who would try to get on the singer's good side in order to harm him when his guard is down. Either way it's effin' brilliant, proud and brutal. I love how the intro comes on quiet but unsettling, then that riff drops... fuck yeah!
This one's primarily about self-preservation, revenge, and survival, expressing the idea that even when you're stripped of everything you own, you can still remain strong and take back your life. In portraying this, it talks of someone who's been wronged and seeks to take back power. Even after he's been stripped of everything he has, he's resilient and refuses to be broken down. It's reinforced further with him saying that his heart beats for none but his own, meaning he prioritizes his own survival above anything else. While he isn't a virtuous man, he won't let another person continue to hurt him or try to bring him down.
Brilliant song!
This song fucking rapes!!!!
@Machinehead77 That is a terrible "adverb" to describe this song ... considering Rob's childhood it is also very poor taste in your choice of words.
