I can't believe this song is not more popular. It is easily one of the heaviest on this album by far in my opinion.
I think this song is about pride or prideful people in general. Quotes like,
"You've had your time in the sun. Keep your head down kid, your fifteen seconds are done"
"Who talks the talk, who walks the walk and who's for fucking show"
"Pride cometh before the fall"
all seem to point to this idea. The accuser (Winston) points out their flaws and compares them to filth.
"I know how this one ends"
"Let's get this straight, while you're listening, in my world you count for nothing"
"I'll take your word like I take your name"(Bottom Feeder a.k.a. low life)
He then concludes saying that they should perish.
"You snap your neck to this. No mercy, no peace, you fucking bottom feeder".
I think it is also important to point out that throughout the song, the accuser also states that the prideful sew there own demise. "I know how this one ends". Almost as if the he knew all along that the prideful would eventually shoot themselves in foot and/or be beaten.
Over all, I think this song is really intense. The accuser (Winston) is extremely irritated and angry. The fact that the rhythm gets heavier as the song progresses is also a cool factor. The elaborate use of simile's and metaphors really help reinforce the fury that the accuser is trying to convey. As I read lyrics along with the song I can really get a pissed off vibe that heightens the mood throughout. Excellent literary content, melodic heavy riffs, and breakdown really make this song one of a kind.
