[Repeat x2]
(Malevolent criminal eye)
(Motivation paints my mind)
(Cross the invisible line)
(And you'll be paid in kind)
Get it!
Criminal
The suffering
It makes me think like a
Criminal
The suffering
When we're alone
Criminal
The suffering
It makes me feel like a
Criminal
The suffering
When we're alone
Typical enough for me
And burn inside in agony
What power will enable me
To bury my vision
A hunger coming over me
As I learn to hide the agony
To make a final remedy
To close the door once and for all
[Chorus]
In a world that I don't want to know
With a message that I never want to send
To be free from all of this
I want you to quicken my end
Don't tell me I can not go
When the wound in me refuses to mend
Deliver me from all of this
I want you to quicken my end
(It seems the whole experience is)
Terrible and crippling
The pain is much more then
Physical beyond belief
When we're alone
Typical enough for me
And I burn inside in agony
What power will enable me
To make this decision
Despair is falling over me
No way to hide the agony
Embracing my calamity
To save myself once and for all
[Chorus]
Now you want to know
You want a name
You want to call me motherfucker
Now you want to know
You want a name
You want to say it doesn't matter
Now you want to know
You want a name
You want to call me motherfucker
Now you want to know
You want a name
You want to say it doesn't matter now
Now that you wanna know
Now you wanna name
Now you wanna place
Now you wanna time
Now you want it all
Now that you wanna know
Now you wanna name
Now you wanna place
Now you wanna time
Now you want it all
Now
[Chorus]
Don't say that it isn't so
I'm on a path that you'll never comprehend
Set me free from all of this
I need you to quicken my end
(Malevolent criminal eye)
(Motivation paints my mind)
(Cross the invisible line)
(And you'll be paid in kind)
Get it!
Criminal
The suffering
It makes me think like a
Criminal
The suffering
When we're alone
Criminal
The suffering
It makes me feel like a
Criminal
The suffering
When we're alone
Typical enough for me
And burn inside in agony
What power will enable me
To bury my vision
A hunger coming over me
As I learn to hide the agony
To make a final remedy
To close the door once and for all
[Chorus]
In a world that I don't want to know
With a message that I never want to send
To be free from all of this
I want you to quicken my end
Don't tell me I can not go
When the wound in me refuses to mend
Deliver me from all of this
I want you to quicken my end

(POSSIBLE SPOILER WARNING TO THOSE WHO HAVE NOT READ IT YET)
Tobit and Sarah (?) ask God to quicken their end so that they can be free from their suffering of a world they don't want to know.
You know, since David Draiman is a religious Jew and occasionally (if not usually if not always) writes the songs himself, this may not be a coincidence.
"Malevolent criminal eye
When the vision paints my mind
Cross the invisible line
And you'll be paid in kind"
is someone crossing the line with there jokes but the victim will still be nice because that is who they are
"Criminal
The suffering
It makes me think like a
Criminal
The suffering
When we're alone"
this is how the victim feels about the words the bully says, and it makes him feel bad, or "like a criminal."
"Typical enough for me
That I burn inside in agony
What power will enable me
To bury my vision"
This says how the victim has been bullied his whole life and that he feels horrible because of it, and he needs help so he can overcome it.
"The hunger coming over me
As I learn to hide the agony
To make a final remedy
To close the door once and for all"
This tells how the victim is mentally breaking down from the bullying and how he is just shoving his emotions down.
"In a world that I don't want to know
With a message that I never want to send
To be free from all of this
I want you to quicken my end
Don't tell me I can not go
With a wound that refuses to mend
Deliver me from all of this
I want you to quicken my end"
This shows how the victim becomes anti-social and secluded because of the bullying and actually wants to kill him/herself because the pain of it wont go away.
"Now you want to know
You want a name
You want to call me motherfucker
Now you want to know
You want a name
You want to say it doesn't matter"
This talks about how the bully wants to call the victim hurtful names and get away with it
Thats what this song made me think of.
Job has done nothing to deserve the suffering that God has allowed to strike him. He at first thinks that he must have done something at some time to deserve it, but cannot think of what. Therefore, the suffering makes him think like a criminal. His friends support the notion that he is a sinner and repeatedly try to tell him that he is, even though he has done nothing to deserve this disaster, and other people who used to respect him and their children now mock him, so the suffering makes him feel like a criminal, and his friends essentially want to call him a "motherfucker".
Job burns inside with agony, and his pain is much more than physical, and others are unable to understand exactly how he feels. The world that he wants not to know is the world of pain that he has come to know anyway, and the message that he never wants to send is to curse God, which would result in his death, but although he wants to die, he has no desire to commit blasphemy to that end despite the fact that he blames God for his troubles. He embraces his calamity by accepting his punishment, but that does not make it less bearable.
This song, for me, talk about euthanasia, lets see.
"Criminal
This suffering
It makes me think like a
Criminal
The suffering
When we're alone" -> the suffering of a dying person, gives him the desire to kill, specially when they're alone.
"typical enough for me
And I burn inside in agony
What power will enable me?
To carry my mission " -> the guy is in extreme pain and agony and wonders when people will leave him to decide his destiny.
The Chorus is obiously him asking to be killed.
"Don's say that it isn't so
I'm on a path that you'll never comprehend" -> the path that no one comprehends is the path of endless pain and death, which only the people who are about to die, or suffering from the incredible pain knows how it feels like.
