1st Person
Stone Sour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is everything so thrown together by mistake?
Why, is everything contrite, is everything a plight
Is everything so insincere and out of sight?
Why, does everything seem wrong
Does everything look drawn
Does everything seem blasted like it don't belong?
I wanna make it a way, I wanna make it a waste
I wanna make it a gross misadventure
I wanna make you all!
I wanna make you all!
I wanna make you, lie to me, lie to me
When, did everything go bad, did everything fall flat
Did everything decay and lose itself so fast?
When , did everything succumb, did everything go numb
Did everything lobotomize what it's become?
When, does everything come back
Does everything relapse
Does everything save face and find itself at last?
I wanna show you the way, I wanna show you the waste
I wanna show you the worst misadventure
I wanna show you all!
I wanna show you all!
I wanna show you how to, die for me, die for me
I wanna give it a way, I wanna give it the waste
I wanna give it the worst misadventure
I wanna give it all!
I'm gonna give it all!
I'll never give up!
Lie to me, die for me
Now, everything's a lie, everything's your lie
Everything's a face inside another lie
Now, everything's a side, everything's one side
Everything depends on just which side you're on
The lyrics to Stone Sour's song 1st Person depict a sense of disillusionment and discomfort with the state of things in the world, expressing a yearning to make a difference and challenge the current status quo. The song questions and criticizes the current state of the world, suggesting that things are gray, strange, and insincere, almost as if they were thrown together by mistake. The lines "I wanna make it a gross misadventure" and "I wanna show you the worst misadventure" suggest a desire to shake things up and take risks, even if it means failing or facing consequences.
The chorus of the song repeats the lines "I wanna make you all...lie to me, die for me," a seemingly manipulative request that could be interpreted in different ways. It could be seen as a plea to understand the perspectives of others, to feel their pain and struggles, or it could be an expression of a deeper, more sinister desire for control and power over others.
The second half of the song continues to question and challenge the current state of things, suggesting a sense of hopelessness and despair with the current situation. The lyrics "Now, everything's a lie...everything depends on just which side you're on" further emphasize the idea that things are not as they seem and that there are hidden agendas and power structures at play.
Overall, 1st Person is a thought-provoking and introspective examination of the way we perceive and interact with the world, questioning the nature of truth, power, and control in our society.
