Lyrics for Laid to Rest as interpreted by jc6md

Laid to Rest Lyrics
If there was a single day I could live
A single breath I could take
I'd trade all the others away

The blood's on the wall so you'd might as well just admit it
And bleach out the stains, commit to forgetting it
You're better off empty and blank than left with a single pathetic trace of this
Smother another failure, lay this to rest

Console yourself, you're better alone
Destroy yourself, see who gives a fuck
Absorb yourself, you're better alone
Destroy yourself

I'll chain you to the truth, for the truth shall set you free
I'll turn the screws of vengeance and bury you with honesty
I'll make all your dreams come to life, then slay them as quickly as they came
Smother another failure, lay this to rest

Console yourself, you're better alone
Destroy yourself, see who gives a fuck
Absorb yourself, you're better alone
Destroy yourself, see who gives a fuck

See who gives a fuck
See who gives a fuck

Failure

If there was a day I could live
If there was a single breath I could take
I'd trade all the others away
I'd trade all the others away

i fucked up i accidently pushed add lol oops...here goes the rest....

"The blood's on the wall, so you'd might as well just admit it
And bleach out the stains, commit to forgetting it
You're better off empty and blank, than left with a single pathetic trace of this
Smother another failure, lay this to rest"

--theres evidence that this is a lie, there are plenty of reasons to leave this behind so just do it. destroy all ties to these lies. your better off having no religion nothing to bind you down and destroy your mind. with it your just a failure, so lay it to rest

"Console yourself, you're better alone
Destroy yourself, see who gives a fuck
Absorb yourself, you're better alone
Destroy yourself"

--get through your shit by yourself it helps you out in the long run it strengthens your heart. destroy what youve become, no one really gives a shit so dont get scared youll have a better life anyways. by yourself you can do what you please without having these bonds. (if your morally corrupt religion is better for you id say...lol we dont need killers runnin around) now destroy the person youve become.

"I'll chain you to the truth, for the truth shall set you free
I'll turn the screws of vengeance and bury you with honesty
I'll make all your dreams come to life, then slay them as quickly as they came
Smother another failure, lay this to rest"

--ill show you the truth but first you have to believe it for thats the only way to set you free. ill show you all that is needed to believe the truthful way of life not this bullshit lie you live. ill show you how easy it is to make up something then just get rid of it and make it nothing (making the bible look irrelavent.) your just another failure, so lay this to rest.

and yea you get the picture...i hope... as you can tell i dont like religion i dont know if my interpretation is right or wrong but please dont get shit faced about it its my fucking oppinion if you just want to argue about it fine i like to argue my oppinions but if your some douchebag that wants to start shit because its about religion then shut the fuck up ahead of time plz...

why is this the most commented on song well theres two reasons, one.. its a fuckin killer song, 2 people keep fuckin arguing at eachothers comments.

As for the meaning i think its about correcting your own mistakes ( long story short ) it also sounds like it could be about a fuckin murder or something " The blood's on the wall, so you'd might as well just admit it And bleach out the stains, commit to forgetting it " sounds like a killer who forgot to cover up his tracks.

I hate this song. Period. All they do is repeat the chorus 573458 times to make it longer. Ashes of The Wake makes my ears bleed.

what the fuck dude if you dont like lamb of god and/or laid to rest/ashes of the wake....WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU EVEN READING THIS OR LEAVING A COMMENT?!?! I think sublime sacrilege is closest...atleast i hope because that is exactly how i feel about religion..exactly and thats what has always made this song stick out to me...thats what made this song so fucking solid! And his fucking name is David Randall Blythe aka Randy Blythe not ryan fuckos! I fucking love Lamb of God and please stop trying to stuff them in a box(genre) they are lamb of god and so is their sound/style fucking period......

The blood's on the wall, so you'd might as well just admit it
And bleach out the stains, commit to forgetting it
You're better off empty and blank, than left with a single pathetic trace of this
Smother another failure, lay this to rest

-Saying that religion as a whole is false and that it's better to forget all about faith, judgement in the afterlife, etc.

Console yourself, you're better alone
Destroy yourself, see who gives a fuck
Absorb yourself, you're better alone
Destroy yourself

-You're wasting your time looking to God to comfort, there is no God. The lyrics on the next line can be interpreted as "IF YOU Destroy yourself, see who gives a fuck." It basically means that you won't be judged for your actions in life as far as making a mess out of yourself goes, not by God anyways.

I'll chain you to the truth, for the truth shall set you free
I'll turn the screws of vengeance and bury you with honesty
I'll make all your dreams come to life, then slay them as quickly as they came
Smother another failure, lay this to rest

-The first and third line of this verse look like they could be written from the view of the false God. The truth will set you free, but I'm chaining you to a set of values that you have to follow. I'll make you believe in salvation and then disappoint you in death. There is no heaven or hell.

See who gives a fuck
See who gives a fuck

-Not God.
No god.

AmishGangsta TBDM is not christian. Sorry to dissappoint you. If they are, then christian morals have seriously dropped to an all time low.

"Lusting to be bathed in the blood of a child
To quench my maw with shreds of virgin flesh
To tear apart he who I once was
To rid the world of his feeble lies"

does that sound christian to you? maybe. sorry for going out of my way to correct this. I have no life.

K, I don't know about the rest of you, but I think it's about forgetting the past.
"And bleach out the stains, commit to forgetting it
You're better off empty and blank, than left with a single pathetic trace of this
Smother another failure, lay this to rest"

That' almost says it straight out. What tipped me off was the "Lay this to rest" line.

I'm not entirely sure of what the song is about (just that it's a great song - which can be interpreted many ways, I see it as being about giving up on life and feeling like nobody cares about you), but you religon bashers are just as ignorant as the people you claim to be bashing. You go on and on about "free thinking." But let's put this into perspective here: Atheism demotes free thinking just as much as Christianity does. Only now, instead of being forced to believe in God and Jesus Christ, you're being forced to NOT believe in God or Jesus Christ. Same difference, donchya think? Many of you have been brainwashed just as much as some Christians have. Only, in this case, you've been brainwashed by the bands you listen to - who often have anti-religious schticks mostly for shock value. You've been brainwashed into thinking that all Christians are these robots, who only believe what they believe because they're told to. Not true. There's quite a bit of logic that does, in fact, support the belief in some kind of higher power (for example, where did all this come from? How can something come from nothingness? How could order come from disorder? And so on). If you naturally don't really believe in God or Jesus Christ, that's fine. I'm not judging you. But that's a two-way street. If you don't want people to judge you for your beliefs, don't judge them for their beliefs.

To me, this song seems to be about a soldier. At the beginning is his account. The first verse is about his conscience and the authority over him influencing it. He just killed some people. Then the chorus seems to be the command giving "orders" and trying to influence him. The second verse sounds like the command telling him how he will die/how they will "kill" him. I read these lyrics over quite a few times.
