Slipknot: Override Meaning

Override Lyrics

The ghosts have killed enough
Familiar haunts have had enough
Too much thought will give you doubt
And now they found you
It's safer in an encage
They can tell you what to say
All your dreams come with a price, so they own you
But...

   The ghosts have given up
   Familiar haunts have had enough
   Too much thought will give you doubt
   And now they found you
   It's safer in a cage
   They can tell you what to say
   All your dreams come with a price
   So they own you
   But what did you expect?
   Was it too much to protect?
   Did you understand they had selfish intentions
   When they were pulling you in opposite directions?
   
   [Chorus]
   You don't know the hell that's coming!
   Everybody get on the ground!
   You don't know the hell that's coming!
   Everybody get on the ground!
   We are the override!
   We are the override!
   
   [Verse 2]
   The dead don't know, the dead are lonely
   A fascination fades
   When this mercy execution
   Says it's over
   You follow as preferred
   Now their plans are undeterred
   Who can bring them in to supersede
   It's over
   Even hate starts out as love
   Sometimes when it's all you want
   Maybe satisfaction will take you for granted
   When all that's left is the emotion you abandoned
   
   [Chorus]
   You don't know the hell that's coming!
   Everybody get on the ground!
   You don't know the hell that's coming!
   Everybody get on the ground!
   We are the override!
   We are the override!
   
   [Verse 3]
   You clawed out from nothing, and I sent you back
   Fought to the metal and law's what you lacked
   Covered in sores you cannot be the one
   You are the answer to why we have risen
   You are not the way
   You are judged to being afraid
   You are simple and unchanged
   We believe you should give up
   Satisfaction will take you for granted
   When all that's left is a life you abandoned
   
   [Chorus]
   You don't know the hell that's coming!
   Everybody get on the ground!
   You don't know the hell that's coming!
   Everybody get on the ground!
   We are the override!
   We are the override!

   The Override means the modern generation IMO. We are Overriding the current way of life with all our bullshit. We are "judged to be afraid" talking about how people are now taught to express weakness in exchange for support; basically the songs about how the current generation gets their ass wiped for them and it's making them into useless, ignorant, unaware cunts and they "don't know that he'll is coming!" Meaning their uselessness as people will result in the end of our way of life.
