Sometimes I write all the lyrics for a song; sometimes Darren writes them all for a song...and sometimes we smash our brains together and my blue and his yellow run together and the cd booklet has whitin and the printed result of our combined "green". Out For Blood is one of those green songs, started in my head during the day at work and swirled around in a mix of a mulitiude of cosmological facts and memories of braciole...merde...just a prechorus and a line or two to finish a verse...porco dio! then...BAM! Show up to the practice pad and Darren's got some new words that nicely weave into my idea perfectly in his little scribble-filled black book. An hour or two dropping a word here; adding a syllable there...and there it is. Some of them like to finish nicely some like to take there ass time...this one was a stand out from it's inception (should have been the album opener, but there was some trepidation about some of the low, baritone, tuned songs being too much in the forefront - comunque) anyway once these words were finished the working title was scratched off the practice set list on the wall. I don't know if it was the first of the low tuners on the album, but it's first working title was "Seven String Song", evolved into "Severed" from "Severed From Society" which was a derivative of my early concepts and precursor of the O4B topic. Just like in school when one is faced with the daunting task of finding topic matter for the midterm or deciding on a subject for a science report...sometimes lyrics are the same...when all the easy obvious ideas are getting written and there's still music left to scribe on top of. So in generalizing terms, I was, just like any conscience human with unavoidable access to the media oracle...kinda entranced, sick of, couldn't avoid, had to write about, the crap of the world and the crappy ass holes that like to screw with it. Be it, George Bush, Saddam Hussien, Kim Jong Ill, Milosivich (don't care about sp), Hitler, Mussolini, my boss, Emporer Ito, the Liberia guy, Fidel Castro, Yasser Arafat, George Bush, Czesar, Pharaoh, did I say my boss...? Anyway, you can dig it...and remember even though we said we're not a politically involved band, unfortunately we are all unavoidably affected and effected by what goes on in the political side of humanity. I would say '03 and '04 when this was written was a very CNN addicting time. With a lot of our stuff, you can't stand firm on one perspective. "I answer to no one..." is obviously the antagonist, and "Why must they die?..." and "...with power that threatens us all" is protag... Ok, I got deep enough. Peace, SDG It's really a trip reading how you and D/ go through the creative process to develop the lyrics for each new track. I imagine since EOA, 911, 2003/04(Afghanistan, Iraq) up until now has been a "Pandora's Box" of unavoidable subject matter for new tracks. . .
Keep On Keeping On Sadudes!

Thank you, wonderful people, for shoeing in with an interpretation or two. As always, it's wonderful to have the Sadudes here and spilling it! ;D By the way you guys, remember to take lots of pictures on this next tour! But now the time is for Lost It All. I'm looking right at you And I know what I'm seeing Looking into your eyes Now it's all so revealing Climbing up the walls Going straight through the ceiling Crushing of the skull Now you can't escape the feeling You've lost it all You got no control Can't cope at all You've lost it all Staring mindlessly into A realm of low esteem Of what amounts to be Your sanity; your reality Taking all that seems to be What is morality* Never knowing who or why Believing subconsciously You've lost it all You got no control Can't cope at all You've lost it all You can't save me...Left alone haunted by the past You can't save me...Future's so unclear nothing left to grasp You can't save me...Corrupted mind unfocused path All is gone It's all wated...Can only see two ways to choose I can't decide...Got everything to lose Save me....You can't save me...Save me....Save me Save me...Save me...You can't sve me...Damn you Remembering all the people, places Things that you knew then Twisting in your memories Now their ghosts are fading thin Voices from the past echoing sorrows To the cold wind Haunting you, calling you Again and again You've lost it all Got no control Can't cope at all You've lost it all *Is it just me, or does this sound like "mortality" rather than "morality"? And don't forget to check out the wonderful artwork on the inside back cover! One thing this VODB forum tempts me to do is look back at the previous discussions we've had about SADUS' Lyrics. You have to begin with a "blank slate" or "tabula rasa' while reading the lyrics, listening to this track. "Lost It All" really begins to speak.
This could be a warning of what befalls those who have gone way too early in this life. Rock & Metal Stories are full of bad/good luck stories, loss, tragedy. It is only after they are gone, that we fully appreciate the impact of their contribution. The songs reminds me of when I first heard the news about Lennon, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Cobain, Chuck, Dime.
I think "Lost It All" has a more direct, personal point of view. It's an "in your face" perspective of someone who is trying to shake another person free from their mental self-confinement. Can you break this person free from their own "fear" or is it futile to continue trying?

I felt that sometimes, i remember especially once: "I'm looking right at you And I know what I'm seeing Looking into your eyes Now it's all so revealing" with some guy i met and was talking to for the first time... Now i know i was right about what i saw in his eyes.
Yeah certainly it can be read like u said Joarel... Personally, my experiences in life would lead me to read it like that.
But it can also be read as a split in a relationship (not necessarly a love one)...

In my mind LOST IT ALL is the ideal follow up to FACELIFT. talking into the mirror, seeing an helpless face. about to quit or ready to try it again?
I clearly remember may 5th 2006. after a violent discussion with my (at the time) girlfried, I was driving in town, had this song playing in the car. huge emotive pressure because of a bad situation in life, I simply started crying badly, letting it go. I remember stopping by to literally scream, "you can't save me... damn you".
It felt weird and liberatory.

talking into the mirror, seeing an helpless face. about to quit or ready to try it again? Totally. I see myself, actually. In recent months, I had been evaluating myself and redirecting my life in terms of what I believed in. It felt empowering to be able to get myself "on track" and going somewhere where I felt was worthwhile. But then I met some people and became friends with them, on such a level as hadn't happened in such a long time. There were things there that I want to hold onto, and don't want to lose. At the same time, I feel like if I followed this path I'd set out for myself, I'd lose these friendships. I don't think my friends are trying to change me, but being around them makes me wonder if my spirit can handle the possibility of losing this feeling. Pressure building in your head Self-esteem keeps degrading Reflections are just negative answers Your intent is further fading

Max, Mrs M, NES!!!
Great discussion as always! I can appreciate where each of you are coming from with the lyrics to "Lost It All". I've been there too! I don't mention this often enough I suppose, but it's easy to get mixed up, make mistakes when we decide to "change". What's important is to try, do, make the incremental steps now and trust your instincts. Your close friends will understand and respect your decision. Hard to believe? Not really. . .Set your goals 1yr, 5yr, 10yrs out. What's it gonna take to get you there?
Don't worry. . .I don't want to sugar coat this. It's f**kin hard and you continually have to pick your ass up from the floor from the "proverbial beating", but it's worth it. IT'S WORTH IT ALL . . .

Good point MrsM as always I've lost it all, went into debt, rebuilt, and almost lost it all again. Came close to losing it again and again . . You've lost it all You got no control Can't cope at all You've lost it all
You can't save me...Left alone haunted by the past You can't save me...Future's so unclear nothing left to grasp You can't save me...Corrupted mind unfocused path All is gone It's all wasted...Can only see two ways to choose I can't decide...Got everything to lose Save me....You can't save me...Save me....Save meYou see, there were some rather nasty habits I learned growing up in "Sadioch". This is where "lost it all" rings most true for me. At 19, I made the decision to begin from scratch in every aspect of my life and walk away from close friends, lifestyle, those "habits", my narrow view of life, people, and organized religion to sort out what was most important. 20 yrs later, I can say from experience that I have lost it all and will live to battle back for another try!!

Ladies and Gentlemen...or filthy buggers!
I'm SICK!
Uncontrolled thoughts They told me to kill I can't help it I'm not myself I hate you so hate me This won't sell I can't help it I'm not myself I'm sick, sick, twisted... I'm stuck, I'm caught, I can't resist
This is me now Once again I can't help it I can't pretend Who are you inside now This can't sell I can't help it Can't you tell I'm sick, sick, twisted... No thought, no reason, no consequence Sick, sick, twisted....
Bullet goes in...Brain comes out... Bullet goes in...Brain comes out... Bullet goes in...Brain comes out... Bullet goes in...Shit comes out
Who am I now I can't tell I can't help it I'm not myself I hate you so hate me I don't care I can't help it I'm not myself I'm sick, sick, twisted... I'm stuck, I'm caught, I can't resist I'm sick, sick, twisted...
There's too many people in this world There's too many people, f**k this world
Bullet goes in...Brain comes out... Bullet goes in...Brain comes out... Bullet goes in...Brain comes out... Bullet goes in...Shit comes out
There's too many people in this world There's too many people, f**k this world

As I was transcribing this, I suddenly realized how appropriate this was to be the next song. Though I should have put it up sooner, the recent events at Virginia Tech (not too far from where I am) seem to provide a perfect profile for this song.
I almost don't want to say that. The Sadudes might have had something else in mind, rather than simply a psychotic killer, and I'd hate to manipulate what they wrote to profile a deranged lunatic...but it fits, you know?
Seung-Hui Cho, the student who shot and killed 32...perhaps 33 other people on Monday morning of this week, was a disturbed soul. From what I've heard and read, he was always a very secluded guy. His roommates would put up with his eccentric behavior because they felt his mentality was too fragile to disagree with him. I've heard news reports saying that police spoke with him after he began harassing two female students, and upon realizing how unstable he was, referred him to counselling. Apparently a teacher was so worried about him that he or she took a one on one class with him to try and understand what was bothering him.
People reached out to this guy, and he just pulled away from everyone. As someone at my school said, in Columbine they at least gave some kind of reasoning behind the attack, regardless of the fact that it didn't excuse their action. But this guy had all the support he could hope for; he just didn't want it. It seems this guy wanted a reason to do this.
I hate you, so hate me
In the videos he rambles on about fighting for and leading the weak and defenseless, but who is he leading?! Who the f**k is this guy fighting for? I'm damn sure nobody is going to stand up and thank him for opening the path for them and showing their oppressors that they won't take the kind of shit they've been fed anymore...
Thank you, Mr. Sho, for taking it upon yourself to commit an atrocity for us weaklings...I must have missed the call-to-arms memo.
No thought, no reason, no consequence Sick, sick, twisted....

you know what. i'm actually in a weird mood... authority. what is it? control over the masses. why? power and the will to kill them all... who? you know it's just like... i told you about those columbine videos i found on youtube, nes... and i'm wondering... who's left with what when the massacre ends? what goes on? i think someone planted seeds of hate all around this wicked world... and we constantly pay the price. overpopulation, devastation on a global scale of power sources, no more water in the near future... approximately 815 million people are undernourished, and over 16,000 children die per day from hunger-related causes [wikipedia].
and then we get the occasional schizo.
and then some guy on youtube goes out like "well done dude, they so deserved it". and the press blames it on videogames.
where are we heading to?
death is the answer...

This world can be so f**ked up sometimes. A lot of the time actually, but not always in the same place.
We're killing our planet, we're killing each other, we're killing ourselves, and most of us are more concerned with who'll win American Idol.
I'll take "Where's the problem?" for 800, Alex.
Did you know we add about 90 million people to this world each year? I'm kind of curious how many of them are nutcases.

Judging on the fact that the stranded youth of today goes around wearing ipods, more connected to cellphones and the internet than to those who should befriend (i.e. a classmate, a neighbour)... i'd say the list of weirdos is gonna increase radically...
"We're killing our planet, we're killing each other, we're killing ourselves, and most of us are more concerned with who'll win American Idol."
so well said man. so well said, and sad too.
