Five Lyrics

I remember, it was the month october
In a garage, i was standing scared and sober
I could smell your breathing, and the pain your leaving
So ashamed, i feel it
And now i am left to fate

For all the times i'd be losing my mind
You molest and destroy just a five year old boy
And you make me suffer, motherfucker
Ripped my heart out
It was so good

I remember words that never left me
From a stroke of til the here's what you do for me
If you tell, i'll kill you
Rip the tounge out from you
Wish that i could stop you
Please god make this go away

For all the times i'd be losing my mind
You molest and destroy just a five year old boy
And you make me suffer, mother fucker
Ripped my heart out
Innocence was lost

And i feel it
I can't take it
I don't want it
Anymore

Was only five
And i feel it
Cant take it anymore

For all the times i heard you
Say in my goddamned mind
Make it sooner if i suck you
I'd make you suffer
Make you suffer
Motherfucker

For all the times i'd be losing my mind
You molest and destroy just a five year old boy
And you make me suffer, motherfucker
Ripped my heart out..
...I was only five...
...Five...

This song is about an incident when Robb Flynn was sexually abused at the age of 5. He's since stated that recording the song was difficult enough for him and that he would never perform the song on stage.

i wonder if he was "abused" as a child

Cover art for Five lyrics by Machine Head

"Violate" "Five" and "Trephination"

Yeah, he was "abused".

Cover art for Five lyrics by Machine Head

this song is really cool. My favorit from The Burning red album (a crappy album actually). This song has cool lyrics good cool music, and the fact that he really was "abused" just makes it cooler...

Cover art for Five lyrics by Machine Head

excuse me, but imo that's bullshit. "Cool, he was abused as a child and now he sings about it!"

Cover art for Five lyrics by Machine Head

No you stupid F**k, it´s cool cause he get´s his feelings out, I know from myself that it´s good to get something writen down sometimes (don´t know about singing it), but it´s an awesome song.

I think the lyrics are fairly straight forward on this one. This song sends chills down my spine when he yells five at the end and it sounds like Rob is crying. Can't really blame him.

Rob was abused as a child. That is obvious if you listen to his lyrics, as the red jester said...
Hunger for more, compare the burning red to a britney spears album, and tell me again... what's crap? TBR may be extremely different to TMTC and BME, but it doesnt make it crap, they have just taken a different, more lighter, melodic approach, lol.

Also, rob doesnt sing "sober" he says "somber" [i think?]. I think he also says "for a +skull+ of +tilber+ ? [or tilver?][some kind of alcohol maybe?]... here's what you do for me...if you tell i'll kill you, rip the +child+ out from you" blah blah

So fucking sad and awful =( God, people like that shouldn't be allowed to exist. But, if this isn't prodding or anything, who was Rob's abuser?
