After spending a month in the studio, Dropsaw has finished recording their 3rd album titled HARD JUSTICE set to be released May 14th 2010. The album was recorded in San Diego, USA with As I Lay Dying frontman Tim Lambesis, Kelly Cairns and Daniel Castleman (Austrian Death Machine, Winds Of Plague, Sworn Enemy, Impending Doom). The band have taken a large step in the way of song writing, mixing it up though the album with insanely fast thrash and destructive breakdowns and keeping that 'heavy as fuck' Dropsaw sound.

Dropsaw Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
parted our on ways there's nothing left to say
friendships corroded how I wish things were the same
my Brothers my friends when did our blood drain
first off we had a difference in mind
your ways was something I could not find
it tore us apart
my life you know that I'm never gonna change it
it's where I want to be
this wont destroy me
your life you know that I'm never gonna change it
it's not for me
this loss was meant to be
understanding that life goes on
it beats you up but you must hold up
forget the past get on with the good
it's something that you should
never let it get you down
stand for
who you fucking are
convince me that everyone should think the same
there is no way I wont be the one put to shame
don't follow what everyone else thinks is the way
stay true to who you are and live it up everyday
breaking free
taking pride
there's no need
to run and hide
THIS IS A FUCKING FREE WORLD
The lyrics to Dropsaw’s song "Free World" are evidently portraying a theme of betrayal and the struggles of losing friends. The singer reminisces about how things used to be and how everything has changed, including the loss of some of his closest friends. The line “my Brothers my friends when did our blood drain” amplified the emotional pain the singer was feeling, signifying the level of trust that was lost in their friendship. The singer mentions that this loss of friendship stemmed from a difference in ideas and beliefs, which led to a break in the close bond they used to share.
The second part of the lyrics displays a sense of individuality and self-acceptance. The singer talks about how their life is where they want it to be, and they will not change it for anyone. Furthermore, they encourage others to do the same and be proud of who they are. They declare that there is no need for hiding and that everyone should break free and take pride in self-expression because this is a free world.
In summary, Dropsaw’s song Free World is about individuality, self-acceptance and rising above the struggles of losing friendships. It reminds us that life cannot always be the same and that it's better to move on, keeping our heads up and believing in ourselves.
