Close your eyes, get ready
One won't stop the flow.
Console your child...get him ready.
One more don't let go.
Tonight...

It's you.

Calm your eyes...get em ready
One won't stop the flow
(Soul coming around...in morning sun)
C'mon c'mon soul of mine...you're ready
One more don't let go
(Soul coming around...the mourn tonight)
Tonight, it's soda water
Soda water, soda water boys

Soda water so

Ahh, soul of mine
Ahh, sober
Ahh sold the mind
Ahh I'm so sober
I know the way
Ahh...stoned
Ahh, so it ends
Ahh oh stone sober

Ah, gimme that wine!
Gimme that acid!
And I wanna lose everything that's policing us, and then everything must begin!
And I wanna do heroin!
And I wanna do crack cocaine!
And I wanna lose everything but release... Why don't you just:

SMOKE THAT FUCKING WEED, BOY! DRINK THE WINE!

Weed boy, drink the wine...
Weed boy, drink the wine...
Bring the pain!
(All of it's all we are... that's all we are)
Bring the pain!!!
Weed boy, drink the wine...
Weed boy, drink the wine
Bring the pain!!!
Weed boy, drink the wine...
Weed boy, drink the wine...

Face yourself!
Send me to hell!

    General Comment:Anyone catch the fact that if the song title wasnt "praise the lowered" it could have easily passed for "praise the lord"?

    General Comment:the intro to the story, a prelude that says "it's time to let go and start over again, by becoming wild."

    Song Meaning:This song is basically him giving in to all the fans of his old stuff who only want him to make metal. He changed his life and has mellowed at least a little bit with age, but some people still just wanted the insane metal stuff. So here he prepares himself to throw away all the changes he's made, basically saying "FINE, YOU FUCKING WANT METAL??! HERE'S YOUR FUCKING METAL!!!" ...and drifts back into his previous lifestyle (if only for this album).

    My Interpretation:I agree with Arkturus.
    I think it goes back to Dev's past drug habits and peer pressure that sometimes (actually, a lot of times) goes with that, hence the "Smoke that weed, boy!" line.

    General Comment:Dev seems to be discussing the drug use and his early years and where it eventually lead him. I assume a lot of Strapping Young Lad was written while on drugs (and while off bi-polar meds).

    Either way, great way to start this album. Goes to show that he's going to talk about some serious shit.
