Blackout Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've whored myself for less than this
You gotta sh-sh-shake on it
We will never fall, never stand aside
I've whored myself for less than this
You gotta sh-sh-shake on it
You'll never take our souls alive
I've come for you
We will, we will survive
I've come so far
So take your poison dressed in wine
I've come for you
We will, we will survive
I've seen your kind before, feeding off the lies
I've whored myself for less than this
You gotta sh-sh-shake on it
You stumble and you fall, you never realize
I've whored myself for less than this
You gotta sh-sh-shake on it
We've come too far
You'll never take our souls alive
I've come for you
We will, we will survive
I've come so far
So take your poison dressed in wine
I've come for you
We will, we will survive
Pray for a quick death
Pray for a quick end
We've come too far
We will survive
We will survive
We've come too far
You'll never take our souls alive
I've come for you
We will, we will survive
I've come so far
So take your poison dressed in wine
I've come for you
We will, we will survive
I've come so far, I've come for you
We will, we will survive
Bring it back again
Always and forever
Bring it back again
Forever
The lyrics to Blackout's song Hard Slammin' paint a picture of a person who is ready to fight for what they want and will never back down in the face of adversity. The first stanza describes the intensity in the other person's eyes and the singer's willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. The repetition of "I've whored myself for less than this" is a powerful statement about the lengths the singer is willing to go to achieve their goals.
The chorus declares the singer and their cause will never fall and they will survive no matter what challenges come their way, even if they have to endure poison in wine form. The repetition of "We've come too far" reinforces the idea that there is no turning back, and there is no room for failure in this pursuit.
The bridge's "pray for a quick death" line brings forth the idea that the singer is aware of the risks that come with this kind of determination and is ready to face them head-on, and the final repetition of "Bring it back again /Always and forever" cements the fact that there is no giving up or going back, just the continual progression forward.
Overall, the song speaks to the human will to succeed and the unrelenting push towards achieving one's dreams, no matter the cost.

You need to agree to the deal, even if it makes you uncomfortable

first time I've heard this song, or really looked up this band... they're supporting my chemical romance in february so I thought I'd be nosey and see what they're like. they're not disappointing as such but they haven't got me off my chair shouting why the fuck haven't I heard of them earlier either... but who knows, live music is always better. just so you know I'm not dissing them, theyre not bad :)

I love the music, I persnally love the post-hardcore genre, but if you think the genre only exists for that, I'll let you believe that. :p If you think that, that's the only bad thing. This band is awesome, or the music they make and perform at least is.
