Gematria (The Killing Name) Lyrics
12/08/73 - that was all I got and now you got me
All I ever really wanted was to take the blame I will go down in History and not down in Flames Meningitis / I will survive this / Dry Sockets and a Schizophrenic Crisis The Time of The Nine has begun Get out of the way or you will suffer as one This is so TYPICAL / APOCALYPTICAL Hanging on abysmal release / Jesus I don�t need this / Don�t wanna be this Icon in the Making / My hands are fucking shaking WHAT IF GOD DOESN�T CARE? WHAT IF GOD DOESN�T CARE� Remember / Surrender / The Time is Now Continue / We�re in you� and we will BURN YOUR CITIES DOWN AMERICA IS A KILLING NAME IT DOESN�T FEEL OR DISCRIMINATE LIFE IS JUST A KILLING FIELD IT�S ALL THAT�S LEFT - NOTHING�S REAL THROW AWAY YOUR DISPOSABLE PAST AND FALL APART LIKE A CIGARETTE ASH WE ARE THE FATAL AND VITAL ONES OF THE WORLD AND WE WILL BURN YOUR CITIES DOWN WHAT IF GOD DOESN�T CARE? WHAT IF GOD DOESN�T CARE? AMERICA IS A KILLING NAME IT DOESN�T FEEL OR DISCRIMINATE LIFE IS JUST A KILLING FIELD IT�S ALL THAT�S LEFT - NOTHING�S REAL THROW AWAY YOUR DISPOSABLE PAST AND FALL APART LIKE A CIGARETTE ASH WE ARE THE FATAL AND VITAL ONES OF THE WORLD AND WE WILL BURN YOUR CITIES DOWN Down� WE WILL BURN YOUR CITIES DOWN Feed the Hungry - Feed them shit Feed them BONES and POLITICS You wanna revolutionize? Be specific and believe your eyes Start a war in another backyard And we�ll destroy your house of cards Give me a minute and I�ll change your mind Give me a bullet and I�ll change your life Remember / Surrender / The Time is Now Continue / We�re in you� And we will BURN YOUR CITIES DOWN AMERICA IS A KILLING NAME IT DOESN�T FEEL OR DISCRIMINATE LIFE IS JUST A KILLING FIELD IT�S ALL THAT�S LEFT - NOTHING�S REAL THROW AWAY YOUR DISPOSABLE PAST AND FALL APART LIKE A CIGARETTE ASH WE ARE THE FATAL AND VITAL ONES OF THE WORLD AND WE WILL BURN YOUR CITIES DOWN WE WILL BURN YOUR CITIES DOWN America� what if �God� doesn�t care? |

Some identify two forms of gematria: the "revealed" form, which is prevalent in many several hermeneutic methods found throughout Rabbinic literature, and the "mystical" form, a largely Kabbalistic practice [2]
this song has more meaning then even i know... perhaps something to do with the name america using gematria to tie it to killing.. idk

It's smart of Chappy535 to point out the historical origins of the song's title.
"Plato (c. 427-347 BCE) offers a discussion of gematria in its simplest forms in Cratylus, where he claims that the "essential force" of a thing's name is to be found in its numerical value, with words and phrases of the same numerical value may be substituted in context without loss in meaning." - wikipedia.
Key sentence:
'where he claims that the "essential force" of a thing's name is to be found in its numerical value'
The killing name is noneother than America (no offence to any of you americans out there. i've noticed america's image to the outside world isn't exactly conceived in the brightest light, but what country is perfect? Whether we like it or not all Governments are filled with corruption, only yours is out in the open for the media to scrutinize more since you're the supposed 'superpower' (which will change in a couple of decades time considering the unstable state of your economy and constant wall street disasters, China will gain supremacy (are you aware China has funded your economy before?), prepare to learn some manderin! lol) hopefully the times will change for the better now that B. Obama's your new president.
the line, "What if God doesn't care?", makes me believe that C. Taylor, or the person who wrote these lyrics, might be making a comment about how America is known to be a very Christian democratic society and their political agendas often carry religions purposes. & with the 'war on terror' more like war on iraq, it's like, 'what if God doesn't care if you invade a country, kill innnocent civilians, children and women, destroy people's lives (who had no such connnection with saddam hussein or the taliban or terrorist networks), basically sacrifice the lives of innocent others all for the purpose of preventing terrorism activity? Haven't you realised God gave up on us long before?'
All in all it's a very political and in your face song, no doubt some people might be offended, but looking at it from an objective point of view, you can't help wonder if it holds some form of truth.
Anyways, soundwise the song is one of the most brutal and agressive tracks on the album, like butcher's hook. It's a good thing mind you if you need a power charge or go fken crazy. It's one of those Get the fk up songs.

If I have understood it right, you just add the numeric value of each and every letter in a word. So I used the list (http://www.rodurago.de/en/index.php?site=correspondence&link=alphabet&rck=968315a721689aeb8b4b362663da5669)
As mentioned before, the synomymes to this value (149) are rather plenty and some would not correspond to the song itself.
Anyways, I think there's alot more to this Gematria than mentioned here, and the name of the song pretty much indicates you should use gematria on the "killing name" (= America).
Oh well... enough said, great song ^^

I think this song ties into our history.
"America is a killing name" - We've only lost 1 war in our time.
"It doesn't feel or discriminate" - I think when it says feel, it means that other countries see us as we don't care, and we don't discriminate, because we hate everyone equally.
"Life is just a killing field, it's all that's left nothing's real" - Pretty straight forward.
"WE ARE THE FATAL AND VITAL ONES OF THE WORLD, AND WE WILL BURN YOUR CITIES DOWN" - America is a super power, not just because we have a good military etc., but because we influence a lot of countries through media and other things, with our without purposeful intentions.

I dunno.. Now I guess I'm kinda on the edge

It's hard for me to understand people who call themselves 'maggots' yet dont understand that slipknot's whole thing with maggots is the way everything can relate back to pure science, and in a way it ruins things that we intend to have deeper meaning. Love can be traced back to simple horomones. Attraction is traced back to symmetry in the face and other characteristics soothing to the human eye. Our very existence is traced back to the gruel of life forms - maggots. What is America? America is a term used to refer to a large chunk of land that lies on a planet in a solar system in a galaxay of millions of galaxies. We have built up the word 'america' to mean so much with so many negative conotations that we forget 'america' is nothing, it's just a word, and words have no real 'being', they are just sounds we use to communicate with each other. In the end, everything goes back to science, and scientifically, 'america' is just a series of letters from an alphabet of 26 letters. It's the people and the relationships and what we believe beyond the physical world and the right-now world that matters. What if God doesn't care? It's all simple science and at death it means nothings, why should he care about a nation that continually becomes more self-absorbed in their own self value and continually drags down his name. Again, what is our 'life?' our 'life' is all scientific. It's about the heart and the brain and the anatomy of the body from evolution etc. People become so self-absorbed in this notion of self-importance that all we care about is the physical aspect of things, and God doesn't care, he shouldn't. Saintoflostcauses72 hit the nail on the head when it comes to the whole God caring part, read his post.
Just a quick fun note I noticed, all the numerical values of the letters in 'america' added together equals 50. 50 states? Kinda cool I thought.
