Cover art for Cut the Cord lyrics by Shinedown

This is drug addiction and the recovery thought and effort as I read the lyrics..

I'm gonna make it rain, so ring the bell I know it all too well Switchblade on the edge of your wrist Can I get a witness? (witness) 'Cause agony brings no reward For one more hit and one last score Don't be a casualty, cut the cord

(Freedom, la la la la) (Freedom, follow me) cut the cord (Freedom, la la la la) (Freedom)

You gotta feel courage Embrace possession If it was easier to shatter everything that ever mattered But it's not, because it's your obsession Be a fighter, backbone, desire Complicated and it stings, (but we both know what it means) And it's time to get real and inspired

Now victory is all you need So cultivate and plant the seed Hold your breath and count to ten, just count to ten, just count to ten

Addiction and ignorance of the effect is how slaves are made according to many old books on humanity.. The psychological effect is something to be observed and the society structure that provides the trap. Freedom is an appropriate analogy to cut the cord.
