Head Like a Hole
Rebellion Resounds: Unraveling the Depths of 'Head Like a Hole'
Lyrics
God money, I'll do anything for you
Desire for wealth or power, willing to do anything for it
God money, just tell me what you want me to
Willingness to comply with the desires or demands for wealth or power
God money, nail me up against the wall
Feeling trapped or controlled by the pursuit of wealth or power
God money, don't want everything he wants it all
Desire for everything, an insatiable appetite for wealth or power
No, you can't take it
Emphasizing the inability to take something away, perhaps referring to the grip of desire for wealth or power
No, you can't take it
-No, you can't take that away from me
-No, you can't take it
-No, you can't take it
-No, you can't take that away from me
-Head like a hole
Comparing oneself to a "head like a hole," unwilling to be controlled or manipulated
Black as your soul
-I'd rather die than give you control
-Head like a hole
-Black as your soul
-I'd rather die than give you control
-Bow down before the one you serve
Directive to submit to the authority or entity that controls wealth or power, with a warning of impending consequences
You're gonna get what you deserve
-Bow down before the one you serve
-You're gonna get what you deserve
-God money's not looking for the cure
Indifference of wealth or power to the well-being of others, reveling in exploiting the vulnerable
God money's not concerned about the sick among the pure
-God money, let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised
-God money's not one to choose
-No, you can't take it
Reiteration of the inability to have something taken away, reinforcing resistance to control
No, you can't take it
-No, you can't take that away from me
-No, you can't take it
-No, you can't take it
-No, you can't take that away from me
-Head like a hole
Reaffirmation of refusal to be controlled or dominated
Black as your soul
-I'd rather die than give you control
-Head like a hole
-Black as your soul
-I'd rather die than give you control
-Bow down before the one you serve
Reiterating the consequence for not submitting to the authority controlling wealth or power
You're gonna get what you deserve
-Bow down before the one you serve
-You're gonna get what you deserve
-Head like a hole
Reiterating the refusal to be controlled, even at the cost of life
Black as your soul
-I'd rather die than give you control
-Head like a hole
-Black as your soul
-I'd rather die than give you control
-Bow down before the one you serve
Reinforcing the warning of consequences for defying the controlling authority
You're gonna get what you deserve
-Bow down before the one you serve
-You're gonna get what you deserve
-Bow down before the one you serve
Final reinforcement of the consequence for not submitting to the controlling force
You're gonna get what you deserve
