Song Meaning

"A lot of people look at this in a very negative way, and in a lot of ways, it is if you continue to try and solve your problems the same way over and over again. That said, this track is also a reflection of what slipknot is. Just when you thought you had us all figured out, give up all hope because you're never, ever going to. Besides, we like it that way!!"


Lyrics


The State of the Nation / VIOLATION / a broken promise is as good as a LIE
The Hell is Humongous / The Devil’s among us
And we will BURN if we won’t unite
What are we conceding for our freedom? Why does anybody think we need ‘em?
I would rather FIGHT than let another DIE
We’re the Problem, but we’re also the Solution…

ALL HOPE IS GONE

If you want it, come and TAKE-IT-FROM-ME
If you think you can, you STILL-DON’T-KNOW-ME
Let me tell you man I SAID IT / I MEANT IT
And I will always have the right to defend it
50 SECONDS / 100 MURDERS / The Bill of Rights is a bill of sale
What will you do when your war is over?
What will you do when your system fails?

WE HAVE MADE THE PRESENT OBSOLETE
WHAT DO YOU WANT? WHAT DO YOU NEED?
WE’LL FIND A WAY… WHEN ALL HOPE IS GONE
WE’VE SEEN THE FALL OF THE ELITE
BURY YOUR LIFE / TAKE YOUR DISEASE
WE’LL END THE WORLD… WHEN ALL HOPE IS GONE

WE HAVE MADE THE PRESENT OBSOLETE
WHAT DO YOU WANT? WHAT DO YOU NEED?
WE’LL FIND A WAY… WHEN ALL HOPE IS GONE
WE’VE SEEN THE FALL OF THE ELITE
BURY YOUR LIFE / TAKE YOUR DISEASE
WE’LL END THE WORLD… WHEN ALL HOPE IS GONE

The Wretched are the Wounded / The Hungry starve to death
In a place where no one goes, the air itself is a final breath
So discontinue the Antiseptic Care Charade
As a cry of justice comes, a malignant fire fades

I am the Reason your Future suffers / I am the Hatred you won’t embrace
I am the Worm of a pure gestation / I am the Remedy - SPIT IN MY FACE
All your laws and rules are outdated
All your subjects are killing the kings
I could rattle off a million other reasons why
But does it matter when the only thing we love will die?

WE HAVE MADE THE PRESENT OBSOLETE
WHAT DO YOU WANT? WHAT DO YOU NEED?
WE’LL FIND A WAY… WHEN ALL HOPE IS GONE
WE’VE SEEN THE FALL OF THE ELITE
BURY YOUR LIFE / TAKE YOUR DISEASE
WE’LL END THE WORLD… WHEN ALL HOPE IS GONE
WE’VE MADE THE PRESENT OBSOLETE
WHAT DO YOU WANT? WHAT DO YOU NEED?
WE’LL FIND A WAY… WHEN ALL HOPE IS GONE
WE’VE SEEN THE FALL OF THE ELITE
BURY YOUR LIFE / TAKE YOUR DISEASE
WE’LL END THE WORLD… WHEN ALL HOPE IS GONE

WHEN ALL HOPE IS GONE
