Try Again
10 Years Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Out! All out! Just break it out!
Pull your teeth to claw it out! To scratch it out!
Motherfuckers control now what you're about!
-But you cannot let them.

Fight the hate they plant in you!
All the shit they try so hard to put you through!
Turn away! Reject the lie they feed to you!
-They'll break your spirit.

Ready, to burn up now. Self destruct is set.
This worlds so lost in anger. How quickly we forget.

Out! All out! Just break it out!
Pull your teeth to claw it out! To scratch it out!
Motherfuckers control now what you're about!
-But you cannot let them.

Same old basic format, bound so tight in greed.
This worlds so lost in torment, I watch my brothers bleed!

Fight the hate they plant in you!
All the shit they try so hard to put you through!
Turn Away! Reject the lie they feed to you!
-They'll break your spirit.

Got to disillusion, defeat there embrace.
They'll push you down with pain, realize what you are!
Find your place!

Out! All out! Just break it out!
Pull your teeth to claw it out! Scratch it out!
Motherfuckers control now what you're about!

Fight they hate they plant in you!
All the shit they try so hard to put you through!
Turn Away! Reject the lie they feed to you!
-They'll break your spirit.

They'll infect you!
They'll infect you...
They'll infect you...
They'll engage you...
They'll erase you!!!!!!

Out! All out! Just break it out!
Pull your teeth to claw it out! Scratch it out!
Motherfuckers control now what you're about!
You cannot let them!

Fight the hate they plant in you!
All the shit they try so hard to put you through!




Turn away! Reject the lie they feed to you!
They'll break your spirit!!

Very strong Deftones influence here, particularly Around the Fur-era.

The beginning sounds like Headup.
