All Hail The New Flesh Lyrics

Hey man, I'm going to fuck this shit up
No fear, no compromise, I want it all
I will never be afraid, and I'll die with what I believe

All of you assholes can stay rotting here
I do not care, I will not be there
I have got to save myself
And don't tell me there's no one else
And all you are is all you are...
I'm so sorry (for you), I'm sorry...

So all hail the new flesh
Because it suits me fine...

Just get away, you motherfuck
And we'll be back if you come
For what this means to me, you piece of shit...
I'll see you pigs in hell
I just know everything's going to be OK

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song appears to be about transcending the barriers of the physical and taking on a higher form, possibly touching on a Meshuggah-like theme of man combining with machine. It's the protagonist's declaration of his new state and of his contempt for the mere mortals he has left behind. Very metal!

when i listen to this song, the lyrics feel like they are talking about somebody who lovess metal(or more so SYL) talking about how its making him stronger and more brave. "i'm so sorry" thats how i feel about people who can't understand the beauty of SYL, i feel so sorry for them.

You could abbreviate this song to "I'm fucking awesome" without changing its meaning.

I agree with Chain Noose, this song appears to be about transcendence. I like to think of anything that one creates as an extension of that person's self, and specifically in the case of an artist, the medium they use for their self-expression is like a flesh that holds the piece of their mind they've extended onto it. We're living in a digital age, our music is primarily digital, coded in binary machine language... this is our new flesh, not machines specifically, but the mind of the machines. We've created a body that is pure mind, a clear step forward in our evolution... and the new flesh suits Devin fine.
