In my town where the system sleeps
Nobody gives a damn
It's up to you how to hide to flee
Their hunger never ends
Hateful design builds the structure divine
A territory cold as ice
An endless empire with cynic desire
Born of a broken spell
Feeling like a guttersnipe standing in line
Deciding his lifestyle by rolling the dice
One will stand another will fall down
Find your way out from the constant lack
Find your way out from the constant lack
You gotta get yourself a picture of what is going on
Cause their lips are sealed now
Their honesty never to be found
Hateful design builds the structure divine
A territory cold as ice
An endless empire with cynic desire
Born of a broken spell
Your pride is just a symbol
Another hidden excuse
For being such a savior
Distorting your sick self abuse
Nobody gives a damn
It's up to you how to hide to flee
Their hunger never ends
Hateful design builds the structure divine
A territory cold as ice
An endless empire with cynic desire
Born of a broken spell
Feeling like a guttersnipe standing in line
Deciding his lifestyle by rolling the dice
One will stand another will fall down
Find your way out from the constant lack
Find your way out from the constant lack
You gotta get yourself a picture of what is going on
Cause their lips are sealed now
Their honesty never to be found
Hateful design builds the structure divine
A territory cold as ice
An endless empire with cynic desire
Born of a broken spell
Your pride is just a symbol
Another hidden excuse
For being such a savior
Distorting your sick self abuse

They're saying: You're asleep, sheeple. Time to wake up and give a shit about yourself.
"You gotta get yourself a picture of what is going on
Cause their lips are sealed now
Their honesty never to be found
Hateful design builds the structure divine
A territory cold as ice
An endless empire with cynic desire
Born of a broken spell
Your pride is just a symbol
another hidden excuse

distorting your sick self abuse"
Think about it...it makes perfect sense.
The definition of 'guttersnipe' is a street urchin, or a child who spends most of his/her life in the streets, which fits perfectly in with the song.
Nobody gives a damn" is about there is no military or police "It's up to you how to hide to flee
Their hunger never ends" is about takign care about only yourself and trying to survive thru the day. "Hateful design builds the structure divine
A territory cold as ice" buildings being destroyed with bombs and stuff, a territory as cold as ice. i cant really get thou.
to me its about living in a small town or confined space where theres more pressure to fit in and conform, blindness is a part as you can't see outside of the confined area but you know that staying where you are isnt going to get you far and "rolling the dice" isnt the best way to decide youre life
Seems like it might be describing the conflict between rich and poor, haven't looked much into it though.
i luv soilwork, all the songs i have absolutely ROCK
holy crap, where have these guys been hiding all my life?
"Feeling like i gotta stop standing in line
Deciding his lifestyle by rolling the dice"
The context wouldn't work..?
Wouldn't it be "my" not "his"?
Just a thought.
