Lyrics for Pariah as interpreted by Hypothermic_Allergy

Pariah Lyrics
The sore on the edge of your mouth it mirror the ones on your arm of black tar you've known the
ripping.
And I've seen you pissing your condition into the dirt.
I know you don't want to live in the dirt you want to know nothing but dirt you know you can't
beat weakness.
Kill the flux. Stretched to breaking an obscene canvas on a stretcher of parasitism.
You piece of shit I won'y say your name but I will say this- FUCK OFF AND DIE (sooner the
better).
You've shot out your eyes but I'm seeing that you cannot feel anything of worth.
Know that you've pissed life away, lost in your narcotic dreams.
Heart pumping futile shit through your veins.
Why does it bother? I want to punch in your sunken face and see your dusty blood smear through
the air in a polluted crimson arc,
splattering in a useless pattern on the concrete. Moribund.

this is such an amazing song... so hard and the riff in the middle and the end is just insane. the lyrics are a lot of fun too. the line "fuck off and die" seems to basically sum it up. a pariah is a social outcast/ an untouchable. this song kicks ass

this song is about a person that singer Randall Blythe had some bad experiences with and whom he just completely despises,his words were something like"this person was just a real shitbag"

a pariah is a social level in the cast system in india, and it means untouchable
pariahs were considered to be inhuman, and thus, if you were not a pariah, you were expected to basically walk all over them, and were expected not to be kind to them at all

i think what this song is talking about is catching a v.d. from a needle, and then making him a pariah,
or "untouchable"

ummmm
it seems to me, could be wrong, but i think olbaid665 is right. Its about a person who got a diseise from a needle and now he/she is running back to the speaker for help and he is just telling him/her its your damn fault, you shouldent have messed with that stuff.

He sounds like a kind of scientist, and the music reminds me of that kind of place.

ive always wondered if its about phil anselmo. randy is said to not like him (redneck supposedly about him). the obvious phil heroin problem. he "wont say his name". and the name pariah or untouchable, phil, the self-proclaimed king of metal (and probably correctly so for a while) was untouchable for a while. on that level, but still loved his junk. i dont know, i was really stoned when i thought of that......im not saying this is right, so please dont bother being rude if u correct or criticize.

on the terror and hubris dvd randy says something like the song goes out to anyone who has had a friend who has fucked themselves up with a drug addiction

allright did you guys actually listen to the song because it seems like these lyrics have been posted around on every site, and they're not even correct just the first few lines, after that it goes off into another song. He mentions "what i want you to be..." and "would i have? rip it away" and "away...", and "behind the shattered remnants of what ???..."< is the last line. this doesnt even have any of those lines, i love how people discuss whats not even there, i can't decipher the song's complete lyrics because it's hard to understand randy's vocals in this, but these posted lyrics go off wrong at "you've known the ripping" that's not even in the song, continues wrong up to "Kill the flux",continues wrong up to "Fuck off", then everything is wrong after that. I'll take my time off another day to post my suggestion on the lyrics but just letting you know these are wrong.

This song,to me is about drug abuse, when he says "know that youve pissed your life away, lost in your narcotic dreams" I relate to this song pretty good, being the child of 2 long term addicts, this pretty much sums up what I have to say to both of them.
