Thou shalt not
Kill your fathers - destroy another life
Question everything we clung to for years
Live forever - design a better death
Confuse a liar with a savior from fear
Create a myth and separate the chosen ones
Adolescent independence
Dominion
I only wanna believe
In fuckin' anything
But now my conscience
Is contradicting everything
The ending's the same
The world will not change
The answer is clearÂ
Tell your mothers
They have no sons or daughters
Blame yourselves because your children are mine
We are orphans, but we are not forgotten
And we will find a way to save us this time
We can run, but we are tired of running
We're dropping seconds in a glass 'til we die
We only wanna believe in fuckin' everything
But we're alive
And we're not accepting anything
The ending's the same
The world will not change
The answer is clear
Annihilation [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/s/slipknot/wherein_lies_continue.html ]
I won't control or restrain things
I do not understand
Now I realize I'm stronger better
They gave to me now I give to you
The means to burn the thoughts I had
Now I realize I'm stronger better more
We have to save ourselves
I will never become another piece
Inside the paralytic construct I hate
Live forever? well, I would rather die
At least I'd know
I wasn't theirs to create
This is yours, but you had better choose
Before they take away your right to decide
I guess I'll never believe in fuckin' anything
But my solace is I can handle everything
The ending's the same
The world will not change
The answer is clear... obliteration
I won't control or restrain things
I do not understand
Now I realize I'm stronger better
They gave to me now I give to you
The means to burn the thoughts I had
Now I realize I'm stronger better
I won't control or restrain things
I do not understand
Now I realize I'm stronger better
They gave to me now I give to you
The means to burn the thoughts I had
Now I realize I'm stronger better

The words "thou shalt not" are a direct cue for the songs mood. The message is, your mind is yours, develop as your own, and do not let something such as a book, idea, or group fully influence the way you would like to live. "you had better choose, before they take away your chance to decide" is a perfect example of the whole tone of what some might say religion is becoming... A choice in which you are judged for. That choice serves no relevance, however, some feel as though it should.
Its a dressing down of the world as we know it. Not just about america, it kinda goes up against any civilization that takes themselves too seriously and where the "leaders" are so
pretentious that they think they are deemed to speak for the people, it all comes down to the fact that we have to save ourselves".
I think that this song is about the bible and god but i could be wrong but the first to verse clearly state things that may also be found in the bible and i believe it is about how we let it controls our lives and god's word and such.
I guess this song is, like so many others, against the government. In my opinion they're want to say that you have to 'save yourself' that you have to change, that you have to become an individual, not to follow the crowd. (now i realize i'm stronger, better.. ) i guess that's the main idea of the song ... To be yourself and not to care too much about the government.
