Send "Hole in the Earth" Ringtone to Cell

Can you explain to me how
You're so able (how)
It's too late for me now
There's a hole in the earth (hole in the earth)
I'm out

There's a hole in the earth (I'm out)

Can you explain to me now
If you're still able (whilst)
I think you know the truth
There's a hole in the earth
I'm out

I hate all of my friends
They all accept our time
There's a hole in the earth (I'm out)
There is a hole in the earth

Let's think about
This is the end
(Somewhere)
This is the end
(Somewhere)

There's a hole in the earth (hole in the earth)
There's a hole in the earth (hole in the earth)
I hate all of my friends
I'm out
There's a hole in the earth
(Somewhere)

    My Interpretation:This song is about committing suicide. The hole in the earth is you. I means that since you be missing the world won't be exactly the same. Not that their be a change but the change would be that you left the earth... aka you killed yourself. The rest is about your friends being evil... aka meaning they started to hang with the wrong crowed aka the popular kids.. Which then turned your friends against you and basically drove you to commit suicide. That is why the song says I hate all my friends. At the start it asks can you explain to me how your so evil... how??? meaning explain to me how you changed over the years... the friend was good to you until he found new friends that changed them to be evil towards you.

    General Comment:I take this song as possibly referring to Agartha (inner earth). The hollow earth theory says that there are two openings at the north and south poles of the earth. Inside is hollow with a small sun in the middle. The inner walls are forested just as the outer earth (where we are) is. (I encourage everyone to check this out) The satellites that are supposed to go over the north and south poles do not bring back data that is ever entered into public domain. Which means it is never public knowledge.

    I believe that Chino is referring to this inner earth as an escape from the attacks of other people. He is telling his friends that there is a hole in the earth and he's leaving this place. Chino may believe in the end times and that is why he says "this is the end".

    Of course, I could be wrong but there is some evidence to back this up.

    General Comment:the song is actually about chino and the band stressing out about creating a new album and band members not cooperating. "the hole in the earth", means, his friends are fuck heads basically.

    General Comment:chi cheng said in an interview that there are constantly issues during recording and that chino came back with this song one day. not verbatim, but chi cheng had said that "he could come back with a song called 'i hate chi cheng', as long as we finish the album.' lol. but yeah, the band has their issues, but they're obviously still together. diamond eyes is fantastic!

    General Comment:The first time I heard this I thought the lyrics were
    "I hate all of my friends
    They all lactate sometimes"
    Despite that I still found it damn powerful, even better now I know the real lyrics.

    General Comment:i think this song just expresses the desire to transcend the petty bullshit of the Earth, sometimes . . . or it could be a subtle reference to global warming, but that's kind of a stretch.
