Ok. I know a lot of people who read this are going to be upset by what I say. And I know some will agree.
In all honesty this song means nothing. As all of their songs do. Sure, to them, there's probably a meaning. And in a sense, that's what music is all about. But for a song to actually be "good" (and I use that term strictly because I can't think of a better one at 5 AM), for the listener as well as the artist/performer, the listener must also be able to relate to it. These lyrics are random. No rhyme or reason.
Much like the band's style, which is all well and good. You can still do much better than this. Come on.
I will say this, the band itself is actually pretty good, but the vocalist, who I have to assume writes most of the lyrics (I haven't been able to find if she does or not for sure, but just assume she does) is more of a hindrance to the band than an asset. Sure she can scream. She's completely unintelligible, which is really up to listener preference, when it comes to metal or other music for that matter. But the biggest problem comes when she starts singing. She's still unintelligible. And you can tell she goes out of her way to not enunciate the words.
And I think its partly because she/they like it as a gimmick, that their lyrics are unintelligible. Wow, that makes you cool. Its like the artist who just throws paint on the canvas to be unique. All you're doing is just begging for attention. She's an attention whore.
And they're riding the wave of attention they're getting. Eating it up like any other attention whore would. And as all fads do, they will fade.
And I know, I know. Some of you'll say you relate to the lyrics. Sure, fine. Go for it. I won't insult you. Like what you like. But look at these lyrics and tell me there's any actual lyrical art to this. And no, I'm not saying there has to be alliteration, rhyming, or even pattern to lyrics. There should be meaning, though. Understandable meaning. And as I said, I'm sure it does to them. Which is all well and good. But for it to be considered a "good" song, that meaning should be communicable.
Honestly, I hope you're extremely offended by what everyone thinks of your dumbass right now. IWABO is hella talented. Not many girls can scream like that, and obviously you don't know a damn thing about Grindcore or Deathmetal, so why should you're opinion matter anyways?
Krysta is bomb, period.
Obviously your too close-minded to understand lyrics; so with enough time wasted, I bid you an asshole.
You're fucking pathetic.

you can analyze what makes a "good" band all you want, but dont trash a band when you clearly dont understand the genre. once you get yourself in a badassmotherfuckingpit and learn to enjoy what its like to get the fuck knocked out of you, then I'll listen to what you have to say

This person is a complete idiot who obviously has never seen iwabo live nor ever met Krysta. I have done both and what I can say about her is that she is a sweetheart. She is simply standing out in a genre that is predominantly male and is definitely not an attention whore. Hayley Williams is an attention whore. Some of the greatest bands ever had songs out there that no one really knows the meaning of or that have no meaning. Some of these bands include The Beatles, Radiohead, Deftones, Led Zeppelin, The Dillinger Escape Plan; to name a...

These guys are amazing and are even better live.
One last thing. Many hardcore metal bands are unintelligible. That's the style of the music and since when has being different been a bad thing? The fact that when she sings it sounds more like harmonizing is her style. You are truly vapid.
UnrealsKY definitely has it right, the lyrics are retarded. Even if their is a point, they're dumb. Random thoughts about a certain thing strung together badly. Writing lyrics is more than saying your thoughts poetically, it's an art form. Bands who do this well: Bright Eyes, mewithoutYou.

OMG!!! YOU ACTUALLY SUMMED UP THE WHOLE SONG IN ONE GO! It's all there, they know they dont want to have actual lyrics, but this band is one of my absolute favorites, and music is my life, I also fancy myself to be very interpretive and intellectual with this sort of thing. I know you may not think so, but all i see is them saying we have no reason to write, we wont give a reason to write, we are not going to write for you or anybody, and we will keep it that way. In short, the meaning...

You are spot on. The lyrics themself serve no purpose whatsoever. If these lyrics were on a piece of paper lying on my floor, I'd pick it up and say, "This is crap. Simply crap." I would then throw it away.

Honestly i do not see your point,
Lyrics can be anything, I've written them since 3rd grade
Maybe it isn't just lyrics, maybe she wrote a poem and turned it into lyrics,
If it can be sung and it sounds good and you can get the lyrics
(Which you clearly can here) Then why isn't it good music?
Also everyone has there own opinion, but, if it's negative why voice it?
I really wish i could get your point of view but, i can't stick my head that far up my ass.

Alright, alright. You've implied that you listen to grindcore or similar genres, so you know that 99.99 percent of the metal scene is male.

And your opinion, it seems, is that as soon as a girl kicks her way to the surface by being every bit as brutal as any male singer, she has to be an attention whore?

i think in the last few sentences there might be a meaning possibly but no i cant find a meaning anywhere else but my opinion is this band is a little okay but the band members in their music videos are freaks like wearing short shorts and dancing like they do is pretty freakish but i think the guitars are pretty good

I admittedly do not listen to this genre of music. I have to be in a real mood to hear it (which is rare) and it has to be ridiculously brutal, to the point that I don't take it seriously.

Bringing me to this song. I understand people listen to the genre seriously, and that there are people who do listen to metal for the lyrics as well as the mosh. But in all fairness, the lyrics are free-associated at best. It's a stream of consciousness. I doubt they did any editing to it, nor do...

But in all fairness, the lyrics are free-associated at best. It's a stream of consciousness. I doubt they did any editing to it, nor do I get the impression a band like this sat down and carefully deliberated each line of the song to craft it around the theme (we all take part in the evils of society). Let's face it, it's not hard to simply turn on the five o clock news, write down a stream of consciousness, and then just scream and growl and throw in a Mexican car horn. And it has nothing to do with it being a girl. There are far more male lyricists who can't write.

You are kidding me right. These lyrics clearly make sense, it talks about the damnation of the world for all of its sins and wrong doings...
