Scum Will Rise
Nails Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In "Scum Will Rise," Nails delivers a scathing critique of those who try to exercise power over others. The lyrics suggest that those who try to hide the truth will eventually be exposed, and that those who behave like losers will ultimately be recognized for their lack of integrity. The song also makes reference to the accumulation of debt, which could be interpreted as a commentary on consumer culture and the perils of living beyond one's means.
The chorus of the song ("Fuck their control. Force their control down.") provides a call to action for listeners, urging them to reject the control that others may try to exert over them. The lyrics also convey a sense of defiance in the face of authority, with the singer proclaiming that they will never be sentenced by those who consider themselves to be judge and jury.
Overall, "Scum Will Rise" is a powerful statement about the dangers of authoritarianism and the importance of standing up for oneself against those who would seek to dominate.

So serene and refined their sound is...like a meandering lonely babbling brook on a desolate farm.
But. Fire. Everything is on fire though. Cows. Grass. Barn. Even the water is on fire.
