Stone Sour – Sillyworld

  My Interpretation:I think this song is about how ridiculous political correctness has gotten and how freedom of speech is almost a memory

  My Interpretation:I'm a little late but I just heard this song for the first time but it's powerful. I was looking down when I had it playing on YouTube but as soon as it started, I stopped what I was doing and looked up immediately. What I got from it is that it's about the bastardization of ideologies. Things that once held value have become hollow and meaningless. The ideas have just become words and words are powerless with no meaning behind them. Freedom, Love, Peace are no longer ideas but merely words taken for granted and undervalued. Cheap. Just my thoughts.

  General Comment:I think one of the many interpretations of this song, and this is my opinion, is that Corey is saying that the world is a place where people try to tell you how to live, what to believe in, and what to do. But it is just as easy to live your own life and do what you want so hes telling someone he doesnt want to be apart of their sillyword

  Song Meaning:I am going to break down my interpretation of this song, part by part, so here it goes...
  
  
  Freedom's just a word today
  Freedom's just a word
  When someone takes your word away
  It's seldom ever heard
  So take your sentence full of things you're not supposed to say
  and carry on but don't write it down or you'll be gone
  
  Freedom is just a word. Protect your freedom, rights.. war for freedom... Nothing is free. He knows this. The government is taking over many aspects of our lives, for 'security' reasons. He is saying freedom is just a word nowadays, and when someone takes your freedom away, you may never see it again. Take your freedom and carry on, but don't give them away (write them down.)
  
  Love is just a song today
  Love is just a song
  When someone takes the song away
  You'll seldom sing along
  So take those lyrics serious and sing your life away
  and carry on but don't write 'em down or they'll be gone
  
  Love is just a song today. Everyone sings it, but is it true love, is it the real song? Take YOUR song (your love) and love your life away, but don't give your love away, or you will never have it again.
  
  All we ever do is talk
  We like to ride but never walk
  We make it so damn easy
  We get bored
  Why can't anybody see
  What's good for you is good for me
  I can't take your sillyworld
  I can't take your sillyworld no more
  
  We like to talk, but no one takes action. We love to ride with someone else's actions, but never take action ourselves. (The next few lines are harder to interpret. Easy, bored? Not entirely sure.)
  
  Peace is just two fingers now
  Peace was just a phase
  When someone put it on a shirt
  She really killed the days
  So take those fingers tape 'em up and shove 'em up your ass
  and carry on but don't try it now cause peace is gone
  
  Peace is just (your) fingers now. It's nothing more, nothing less. It serves no purpose, or, maybe this is an analogy to fighting for peace, the trigger finger. Peace was just a phase, a small phase, and when they put it on the shirts in the 70s, they were celebrating it, they knew it wouldn't last. (It's 'She knew to count the days' by the way) So take peace and shove it up your ass because you killed it. (With those trigger fingers... in my personal take.)
  
  
  All we ever do is talk
  We like to ride but never walk
  We make it so damn easy
  We get bored
  Why can't anybody see
  What's good for you is bad for me
  I can't take your sillyworld
  I can't take your sillyworld no more
  
  Refer to above..
  
  We fight our instincts
  We go to extremes
  We fight our instincts
  We go to extremes
  
  We fight our instincts, our common sense, we fight eachother when we should be helping eachother, an we go to extremes of violence to achieve it.
  
  We fall apart (x13) (We fight a lot.)

  General Comment:I agree with the anti-govt meaning, but I always thought
  "We like to ride but we never walk
  We make it so damn easy
  We get bored"
  was about the average American being promiscuous and not actually caring about their partner... Come to think of it, that doesn't sound related to the rest of the song, but at least I hope that's what it meant

  General Comment:Mostly people just talk, but when it comes to action, there is none. And most of times these people talk about how anyone else should think ... it just doesn't work...
  
  Talking about love, peace or freedom doesn't have meaning anymore in a lying world. So it's easy for anyone to talk about. But its the actions that count.
