Lyrics

When the bit pulls tight

When pressure intensifies

The grip is sewn into the reins

The control is firmly attached to the reins

Can't breathe it out

Unable to release it

You'll just breathe it back again

Attempts to expel it will result in its return


You mental-pack your chambers full

You mentally load your mind with thoughts without a clear cause

For no reason you can name

Without a discernible reason

A boil-in-bag blood supply

Preserved blood supply ready-made for use

You know it's murder on the veins

Aware that this method harms the veins


Don't you feel it now?

Do you sense it at this moment?


Viva viva viva life and limb

Celebrating life and the physical body

Viva viva viva threatening

Celebrating the act of causing fear or danger


Hey, we want our violence doubled

Expressing a desire for intensified aggression

(No, but really in a loving way)

(No genuine intention of harm, but in an affectionate manner)

Hey, we want our violence doubled

Expressing a desire for increased aggression

(No, but really want it right away)

(No genuine intention of harm, but wanting it immediately)


The national temper

The collective disposition or attitude of a nation

You know it's written on your face

Displayed openly on one's face

Etched and scratched and mirrored back

Repeated and reflected back

Don't you know it's all the rage

This attitude is currently popular or trendy


Don't you feel it now?

Are you perceiving it now?
