Psychosocial (Album version) Lyrics
So effusive - fade - it doesn't cut.
The soul is not so vibrant.
The reckoning, the sickening.
Packaging subversion.
Pseudo sacrosanct perversion.
Go drill your deserts, go dig you graves.
Then fill your mouth with all the money you have saved.
Sinking in, getting smaller again.
I'm done, it has begun.
I'm not the only one.
We throw ourselves against the wall.
But no-one else can see, the preservation of the martyr in me.
Psychosocial! Psychosocial! Psychosocial!
But where the temple fell.
The secrets have gone mad.
This is nothing new, but when we kill it all.
The hate was all we had.
Who needs another mess? We could start over.
Just look me in the eyes and say I'm wrong.
Now there's only emptiness.
Venomous, insepid.
I think we're done, I'm not the only one.
We throw ourselves against the wall.
But no-one else can see, the preservation of the martyr in me.
Psychosocial! Psychosocial! Psychosocial!
The limits of the dead!
The limits of the dead!
The limits of the dead!
I tried to tell you, but your purple hearts are giving out.
Can't stop a killing idea if it's hunting season.
Is this what you want?
I'm not the only one!
We throw ourselves against the wall.
But no-one else can see, the preservation of the martyr in me.
And the rain will kill us all.
We throw ourselves against the wall.
But no-one else can see, the preservation of the martyr in me.
The limits of the dead!
FINALLY the correct lyrics thank you
its an anti war song where it says and the rain its really spelled reign like a kings reign

lol i know.

The song seems to be critical of both the way the world works and, to a lesser extent, the failure of religion to give us an answer as to why. Bear with me:
I did my time, and I want out. So effusive - fade - it doesn't cut. The soul is not so vibrant. The reckoning, the sickening. Packaging subversion. Pseudo sacrosanct perversion. Go drill your deserts, go dig you graves. Then fill your mouth with all the money you have saved. Sinking in, getting smaller again. I'm done, it has begun. I'm not the only one.
(I've been a part of this consumerist paradise for too long, and now I want something real. I've realised that there's more to life than money, and I'm not the only one)
And the rain will kill us all. We throw ourselves against the wall. But no-one else can see, the preservation of the martyr in me.
(Yes, we will die no matter what we do, but nobody realises how willing I am to die to prove a point. We're not invincible, and your life should be spent LIVING rather than EARNING.)
Psychosocial! Psychosocial! Psychosocial! Psychosocial! Psychosocial! Psychosocial!
Oh, there are cracks in the road we laid. But where the temple fell. The secrets have gone mad. This is nothing new, but when we kill it all. The hate was all we had. Who needs another mess? We could start over. Just look me in the eyes and say I'm wrong. Now there's only emptiness. Venomous, insepid. I think we're done, I'm not the only one.
(In the past we've looked to religion for answers, but when we realised how fruitless it was and abandoned our religions, all we had left was hatred of our world. You can't deny that we could ALL make a concerted effort to make the world a better place, but you'll never do it because you love your money too much. Because of greed, the world is a grim place, filled with hate and stupidity. I'm sick of it, and I'm not the only one.)
Fake anti-facist lie. I tried to tell you, but your purple hearts are giving out. Can't stop a killing idea if it's hunting season. Is this what you want? I'm not the only one!
(You compare our democracy to extreme forms of government so we'll think we have it better than anyone else, but it's obvious a few rich elites REALLY rule this place. I've tried to warn people, but they'd rather not hear the truth. We're all looking for an answer, and you can't stop people believing what's most convenient for them. Is to continue to be lied to and led what you REALLY want? I'm not the only one who's sick of this.)
At least, this is my interpretation. I could always be wrong.
I like the album version better, both are great, but I think this version(w/ the true lyrics) is truer to what the narroter is trying to point out.
First of all its ..
**"Fake avel, fascist lie I tried to tell you But your purple hearts are giving out. Can't stop a killing idea if it's hunting season. Is this what you want? I'm not the only one."
Since I corrected it why not throw in what it really means.
"Fake avel, Fascist lie." (This means the government fakes their pulling out of Iraq and lies about it in a corrupt super republican way)
"I tried to tell you, but your purple hearts are giving out." (This means that people try to stand up and say something about the Iraq war, but everyone is just so caught up in supporting the troops and honoring them that they don't realize what they are fighting for.)
"Can't stop a killing idea if it's hunting season." (This means that no one can stop this from happening during wartime no matter the amount of protests.)
"Is this what you want? I'm not the only one." (This is being said in a sort of sarcastic way, like saying that this isn't what America wants and he's not the only one who disagrees with it.)

"we throw ourselves against the wall" Its exactly what were doing. "the rain will kill us all" Dont think it gets much more self explanitory than that really. Surely its pretty obvious?....

dude, you're wrong
dude, you're wrong

yes i have bought the album and it says fake avel. an avel means a withdrawl from something, which clearly refers to Iraq. the writing for the lyrics is like scribbled tho because i bought the collectors edition.

I think he is basicaly saying that we, as a species and as a people are doing the wrong thing and that we are all going to die. "Go drill your deserts, go dig you graves. Then fill your mouth with all the money you have saved." "Oh, there are cracks in the road we laid. But where the temple fell."
The lyric "But no-one else can see, the preservation of the martyr in me." means that he is willing to die to save us and he has worked hard to preserve this idea, but no-one else sees.(hence the lyric)
The lyric "The limits of the dead!" means that we can't undo what we have done when we are dead, so we must act now before we all die.
PS. I also believe it is spelled reign instead of rain because this would mean that those who rule u(i.e. the government) are driving us into the ground.
Well what does rain mean?
In the movie Transformers, the term "bring the rain" basically meant bomb them.
In that sense, I interpret as we are warring all the time, and with war comes better weaponry and more destructive tools. It seems to me that he is saying that all of this war is going to kill us all, which will happen before we realize we need to fix it, but the dead can't do anything about it. He uses modern day examples to convey his point.
Psychosocial is the interaction of psychological and social factors. Our social interactions are hate towards others, we hate others which leads to the behavior (psychology is the study of behavior) to kill off everyone else, which leads into what I have said in the previous paragraph.
That's my opinion.
I will admit it was hard to get that comment into words, but I hope you get the jist

Rain is a common metaphor for Change... which easily works with the song

Since people fear very little as much as they fear change...
