This song is obviously about Phil's overcoming of his past. I HIGHLY identify with this song. He's had low self esteem for so long that he has finally broken free from it.
"I've been wrong for far too long"
This means he's been going about life the wrong way.
"I've moved mountains with less"
This means he has done things in the past that he can't do now
"When I channel my hate to be productive, I don't find it hard to impress"
This means when you take all your anger and focus it on something productive, you will have positive results and it won't be hard to impress others with you newfound strengths. Turning anger into production ALWAYS produces RESULTS.
"Bones in traction
Hands break to hone raw energy
Bold and disastrous
My ears can't hear what you say to me "
This pre-chorus means he has finally realized he can grasp powers and confidence that were never there before. He's "Bold and disastrous". This means his "NEW LEVEL" of confidence and intelligence can't be matched.
And the part about the ears not hearing what people say means he won't listen to any discouragements or doubts anyone has about him.
"I feel a conquering will deep inside me"
This means he knows in his heart that he is capable of doing whatever he wants, and he just needs to find a way to release it.
The last part of the song means that he is SO DETERMINED to acheive his goal that nobody can stop him. He will not accept failure as he is emerging from the shell that is his past.
Very well said. I fucking love this song. You can take away the amazing lyrics and still get the vibe of the song. Almost like the riff was meshed perfectly with what Phil was trying to convey. Guess that's what made Dime so amazing along with the rest of them....A true metal group that will never be outdone.
