Nylon 6/6
Stone Sour Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You stay locked in your head while you're raising the dead
All your neophytes hanging on everything you said
You can take it from me since you took it from me
Even now, the shadow I cast won't set you free

Do you feel your essence through the pain?
If you lose your conscience
Take away the last of your woes that you're setting in stone
Well, your cover is passive-aggressive and blown
This is not about you, because it's all about you
You're out of luck, 'cause this is me not giving a fuck

Do you feel your essence through the pain?
If you lose your conscience

Just save yourself to sacrifice
A little truth for the cause, for the blame
Will you concentrate to realize your fate
Because, we want more, we want more

Be what you want to be get away you're free
What you want to be get away you're free
What you want to be get away you're free

Just save yourself to sacrifice
A little truth for the cause, for the blame
Will you concentrate to realize your fate because
Oh, just save yourself to sacrifice
A little truth for the cause, for the blame
Will you concentrate to realize your fate




Because, we want more, we want more
Because, we want more, we want more

Line by Line Meaning

You stay locked in your head while you're raising the dead
You are lost in your own thoughts while trying to bring back something that is already gone


All your neophytes hanging on everything you said
Your followers are blindly following your every move and word without question


You can take it from me since you took it from me
You have already taken something from me, so I know not to trust you


Even now, the shadow I cast won't set you free
You are still held captive by the impact I had on you, despite my absence


Take away the last of your woes that you're setting in stone
Let go of the burdens you hold onto so tightly and don't solidify them


Well, your cover is passive-aggressive and blown
Your facade of being indirect with your negativity has been revealed and exposed


This is not about you, because it's all about you
You make everything revolve around yourself when it is not always the case


You're out of luck, 'cause this is me not giving a fuck
I don't care about your problems or concerns, and you cannot rely on me for help or sympathy


Just save yourself to sacrifice
You need to prioritize yourself and make sacrifices to achieve what you want in life


A little truth for the cause, for the blame
Even if it is uncomfortable, admit the truth for the sake of reaching your goal or being held responsible


Will you concentrate to realize your fate
Will you focus on making your plans and dreams come to fruition?


Because, we want more, we want more
We desire greater success and accomplishment


Be what you want to be get away you're free
Don't let others hold you back from being your true self and doing what makes you happy


Just save yourself to sacrifice
You need to prioritize yourself and make sacrifices to achieve what you want in life


A little truth for the cause, for the blame
Even if it is uncomfortable, admit the truth for the sake of reaching your goal or being held responsible


Will you concentrate to realize your fate because
Will you focus on making your plans and dreams come to fruition?


Oh, just save yourself to sacrifice
You need to prioritize yourself and make sacrifices to achieve what you want in life


Because, we want more, we want more
We desire greater success and accomplishment
