Some Assembly Required
Mudvayne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well won't you lend me insight
To your counterfeited tyranny
Mouth fulls of christian view
Thou hath to be blind
Ends so plain to me
Out of body and beside myself
Sold out ministry
Holy God man
how's wealth and the brood
Mislayed mind I'm in
From deceit that you induce
Descend to knees of lust
His holiness been brought
Imperils rise distinguished lies
God fall
All rise
Behold the heaven sent an angel to deprive
Your law
All lies
God fall
Baptized in dust is your soul
Holy God man
I'm losing patience with you
Your sacrilegious spellsin mind
Confusion walks in front of you
Your miracles have deceased
Unpretentious family's plead
Please heal our boy
Save our boy
All the false things your preach
Are all the fuckin' things you've taken from me
What goes around comes back to you
What goes around comes back to you
What goes around comes back to you
What goes around comes back to you
What goes around comes back to you
What goes around comes back to you
What goes around comes back to you
The lyrics in the song "Some Assembly Required" by Mudvayne depict a man expressing his exasperation and disappointment towards a religious leader whom he sees as a fraud. The opening line "Holy God man, well won't you lend me insight to your counterfeited tyranny" implies that the man is addressing a religious figure whom he believes to be deceitful and corrupt. He accuses the leader of spreading misguided Christian views and being blind to the truth.
The man then perceives himself as being out of his own body and beside himself due to the unfolding situation. The phrase "sold-out ministry" can be interpreted as a critique of how modern-day religious leaders often prioritize financial gain over spiritual fulfillment. The next section of the song sees the man's frustration being directed towards the leader's wealth and family, which he believes are misplaced. He describes deceptive tactics employed by the leader to lure people into submission and descending to their knees of lust.
The chorus of the song "All rise, behold the heaven sent an angel to deprive your law, God fall, baptized in dust is your soul, holy God man, I'm losing patience with you" depicts a rebellion against the leader's authority and predicts their eventual downfall. The repeated phrase "what goes around comes back to you" implies the man's belief in the karmic retribution of one's actions, indicating that the leader will eventually be held accountable for their wrongdoings.
