The state of the nation, violation
A broken promise is as good as a lie
The hell is humongous, the devil's among us
And we will burn because we won't unite
We won't witness anymore freedom
What does anybody do we need 'em?
I would rather fight than let another die
We're the problem but we're also the solution
All hope is gone
If you want you cannot take it from me
If you think you can you still don't know me
Let me tell you, when I said it I meant it
And I will always have the right to defend it
Fifty seconds, a hundred murders
The bill of rights is a bill of sale
What will you do when the war is over?
What will you do when your system fails?
We have made the present, obsolete
What do you want? What do you need?
We'll find a way when all hope is gone
We've seen the fall of the elite
Bury your life, sink your disease
We'll end the world when all hope is gone [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/s/slipknot/all_hope_is_gone.html ]
We have made the present, obsolete
What do you want? What do you need?
We'll find a way when all hope is gone
We've seen the fall of the elite
Bury your life, sink your disease
We'll end the world when all hope is gone
The wretched are the wounded
The hungry starved to death
At a place where no-one goes
The air itself is a final breathe
So discontinue
The antiseptic cash charade
As the cry of justice comes
I'm gonna let this fire free
I am the reason your future suffers
I am the hatred you won't embrace
I am the worm of a pure distinction
I am the remedy, spit in my face
All your lies and wars are out-dated
All your subjects are dulling mind games
I can let all of another million reasons why
But doesn't matter when the only thing will never die
We have made the present, obsolete
What do you want? What do you need?
We'll find a way when all hope is gone
We've seen the fall of the elite
Bury your life, sink your disease
We'll end the world when all hope is gone
We have made the present, obsolete
What do you want? What do you need?
We'll find a way, we'll find a way when all hope is gone
We've seen the fall of the elite
Bury your life, sink your disease
We'll end the world, we'll end the world when all hope is gone
The song, music and theme speak for itself. It's a song about the world at stake: all the situations at hand, be it personal or worldly, and trying to turn things into a positive. Sometimes you have to face the grotesque to bring about something amazing.
Lol, i love slipknot just about as much as you can... And i cant help but laugh from reading kerrang! Magasine... Corey said that the best ever gig/festival/concert of his life, was when he was watching smashing pumpkins and getting a blowjob from the side of the stage.. Ha.. Legends !
An amazing song that does an amazing job of showing what this couintry is going to. This country has just gone down hill lately and if we dont do something then well. Ya. Totally awesome song. Woot!!!
A lot of people look at this in a very negative way, and in a lot of ways, it is if you continue to try and solve your problems the same way over and over again. That said, this track is also a reflection of what slipknot is. Just when you thought you had us all figured out, give up all hope because you're never, ever going to. Besides, we like it that way!! "
Ok if you read in a slipknot interview they talk about the name of the album "all hope is gone" and mick says something like "the humans fucked up and we should like wipe the earth clean and start over there beautiful shit in the world but the ugliness takes over the beauty" and since the album and the name of the song r the same then to me they mean the same thing
Slipknot is 1 of the best bands ever and they always will be but in my opinion they went a wee bit to mainstream on the all hope is gone album. I only dream they would go bac to how they were in there self-titled, iowa, clan, and crowz albums. But a person can only dream of somethig that will probley never happen.
I really believe the song is how they were the first blamed for the decline of the world, and as they lived and watched on as it fell, the people, though reluctant, found that they must rally under them if they wish to survive. However, many do not accept, and will not submit, dooming the world.
What's weird is this song is called all hope is gone, but is about saving the world after everyone else has given up. Oh yeah and lobonte123? Get bent.
Go 2 hell lobonte racist whore. Im white and hav blak friends and i dont care. Anyway, this song is i guess about people that r gonna end the world when all hope is gone, lol. Im sure theres a real meaning i dont get... :(
