Sep 24th 2008!⃝I may have tried my hand before but will try again. I acknowledge the possibility of a dual meaning because they have done it well in other songs. I would like to focus on this meaning:
Get Up (Wake up and get off you azz, this is life you're wasting)(Stand attention)
Free yourself from yourself (You are only imprisioned and enslaved because you allow it by becoming apathetic and accepting the system . . deafeated. Because we allow it, it is itself self inflicted enslavement, and you have the ability and potential to change it)
Because locked up inside you like the calm beneath castles lies a cavern of treasure (limitless potential) and no one has been to it because it has been suppressed. You are programed to desmiss it and follow the status quo. We believe that we are ordinary and powerless.
Let's go f-ing digging ! ! !
Let's unlock all of this buried potential.
Bring that Sh-t out to take you back in. (Bring that power out in the open, don't allow anyone, yourself included, to ebb that flow)
You do what you like to do (selfserving, indulgent, numbing, distracted, gluttonous)
Lay back, relax . . Listen to me and let me show you another way. It's going to take time, but just hear me out.
I'll kill what you want me too. I'll tear apart all your misconceptions and programed beliefs and take what's left and slam it. That's how well I know another way and can show you. Fact, common sense and reason. I'll dice up any objections with a mental weave that with make your head spin, but will also make you believe what I say.
Whether you take it all (believe me) or don't, either way life is just too f-ing short to push away all I had to say. You have to acknowledge at least most of it, because it's indisputable fact, come on . . Take it in.
Take it all, come on take it. (take all my information in for what it is . . The truth)
All the way in
Let it go - (let your preconceptions and beliefs go)
Let it go in (Let what I have to say, the reality of it into an open mind)
You won't feel what you would like to feel. What I have to say is different, it's hard to believe or understand . . It's scary how we have let this happen.
Lay back and let me show your another way that humanity can exist.
I'll kill what you want me too. I'll tear apart all your misconceptions and programed beliefs and take what's left and eat it. That's how well I know another way and can show you. Fact, common sense and reason.
Whether you take it all (believe me) or don't, either way life is just too f-ing short to push away all I had to say.
Knock me down and I'll just come back running. I am so enraged and sure of my self, that you can't win this discussion which is why I wanted you to lay back and relax in the first place. Don't bother resisting.
This song is a brilliant urging for us to unlock our potential as a species and they do well to show thier deep frustration with us mingled with an almost taunting of us. Come on, let's go digging. We have no idea. Wake Up
