Idle Hands Lyrics

Cover art for Idle Hands lyrics by Shadows Fall

"I am too far gone forever turning back"

Think forever should be two words for ever turning back..

I think this song is about anger and frustration.

"Looking for something to lash out at Turning inward It is myself that I attack"

"The anger grows inside everyday Unquenchable I have become my own prey"

I think those verses are stating that he ends up taking his anger out on himself. I think his anger is making him feel trapped and makes him feel like he can bear what he feels inside and he feels like his mind is a prison.
