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".
Wasting Away
Nailbomb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So they won't get taken away
Trying in vain to figure it out
Always thinking this is a waste
Build it up high
The further to fall
Right down on you
Wasting away
Found release locked away
No values anymore?
Nowhere to turn, wasted away
The lyrics to Nailbomb's song "Wasting Away" touch on themes of frustration, desperation, and futility. The first two lines suggest a sense of desperation and a need to hold onto one's rights and autonomy, but the act of carving them into one's own flesh suggests that these freedoms may already be slipping away. The second two lines, "Trying in vain to figure it out / Always thinking this is a waste," hint at a sense of hopelessness and confusion - the singer is struggling to understand their situation and feels like their efforts are pointless.
The chorus of the song, "Build it up high / The further to fall / Right down on you / Wasting away" reinforces these ideas, suggesting that the singer may have had high hopes or expectations that have since come crashing down. The repetition of the phrase "wasting away" in the chorus hints at a sense of decay or decline - the singer feels like they are slowly disintegrating or fading away.

Corte seus direitos no seu braço
Então eles não serão levados embora
Tentando em vão descobrir
Sempre pensando que isso é um desperdício
Construa-o alto
Para cair mais
Direito para você
Definhando
Sofre mais, sofre ainda
Liberação encontrada bloqueada
Já não há valores
Nenhum lugar para se virar, desperdiçado
Construa-o alto
Para cair mais
Direito para você
Definhando
Sofre mais, sofre ainda
Liberação encontrada bloqueada
Já não há valores
Nenhum lugar para se virar, desperdiçado
Construa-o alto
Para cair mais
Direito para você
Definhando
