Nailbomb hosted other musicians to play guest spots, including D.H. Peligro (Dead Kennedys), Max Cavalera's brother Igor Cavalera (Sepultura co-founder), and Mexican guitarist Dino Cazares (co-founder and guitarist of Fear Factory, Brujeria and Divine Heresy).
Nailbomb's second album, Proud to Commit Commercial Suicide, was a live recording capturing the band's appearance at the 1995 Dynamo Open Air Festival in Eindhoven, Netherlands.
NAILBOMB were a shooting star. Between 1993 and 1995 they released one studio effort, 1994's "Point Blank", and had a warm-up gig the evening before their acclaimed European festival appearance, which was documented as the live album "Proud To Commit Commercial Suicide" (1995). NAILBOMB weren't meant to last, but they sure as hell have made their mark. Nearly 30 years later, the two albums are being re-released and packaged together as "1000% Hate", the title that the band initially had in mind for "Point Blank".
For Fuck's Sake
Nailbomb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We've been told
Still it's ignored
Who'll go first
For fuck's sake / Leave me alone
Live your life / I'll live mine
The winning doesn't count
Just don't take part
Close your eyes
Stuff your face
Don't tell me what to do
We live in different worlds
Suffer and pain
Has built my brain
Never understand
Won't see it your way
I don't have to be
Like anyone else
I can't waste my time
Trying to destroy you
I can't waste my time
I want to avoid you
You always envy
What you don't have
All your hate
Don't put me down
Life goes on
Time and again
We've been told
Still it's ignored
Who'll go first
For fuck's sake
Leave me alone
Live your life
I'll live mine
The winning doesn't count
Just don't take part
Close your eyes
Stuff your face
Don't tell me what to do
We live in different worlds
Suffer and pain
Has built my brain
Never understand
Won't see it your way
I don't have to be
Like anyone else
I can't waste my time
Trying to destroy you
I can't waste my time
I want to avoid you
You always envy
What you don't have
All your hate
Don't put me down
Life goes on
The lyrics to Nailbomb's song "For Fuck's Sake" speak to the frustration and rebellious spirit of a person who refuses to conform to societal norms and expectations. The opening lines "Time and again, we've been told, still it's ignored" refers to a society that tries to impose its rules and values on individuals, but these individuals choose to resist and rebel against the pressure to conform. The phrase "Who'll go first for fuck's sake" speaks to the reluctance of others to step out of their comfort zones and break free of societal expectations.
The lines "Leave me alone, live your life, I'll live mine" expresses a desire for individuality and space to live life on one's own terms, without interference from others. The phrase "The winning doesn't count, just don't take part" is a rejection of the idea that success and achievement are the only things that matter, instead advocating for the importance of personal choice and individual free will.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of difference and the frustration of not being understood by others. The lines "We live in different worlds, suffer and pain has built my brain, never understand, won't see it your way" speak to the idea that everyone's experiences and perspectives are unique, and that it can be difficult to bridge the gap between individuals who have vastly different backgrounds and viewpoints.
Overall, "For Fuck's Sake" is a song that speaks to the desire for individuality and freedom, and the frustration of trying to navigate a world that often tries to force people into molds that don't fit.
