Evo teksta - stvarno interesantno:

Awesome, I can't wait for this disc to be released! First post on the boards and noticed some really cool things on All Hope Is Gone. Some of this is pretty obvious and some other things are esoteric.
First, the cover for the single, "All Hope Is Gone," displays eight numbers which I think is weird but if you count to 8 from 0 you get nine. All of the degrees on the cover are 9 or add up to it except for 0.
45: 4+5 = 9
135: 1+3+5 = 9
270: 2+7+0 = 9
180: 1+8+0 = 9
225: 2+2+5 = 9
315: 3+1+5 = 9
Basic arithmetic should be obvious but with No Child Left Behind I can't be sure.
Corey Taylor has made it very clear what he thinks of the Bush administration and I think All Hope Is Gone refers America and what George W Bush and gang have done her. Here's some of the lyrics parentheses are my interpretation.
The state of the nation - violation! (United States. Our civil liberties are being thrashed to hell and back. In short, our rights are being violated.)
A broken promise is as good as a lie. (Politicians are known for lying. Duh. And Bush has done nothing but lie to our faces, especially about Iraq.)
The hell is humongous, the devil's among us (The hell that Bush, the devil, has created in just 8 years is astounding; Iraq War, Patriot Act, Halliburton; Cost Plus; NSA wiretapping; Katrina aftermath; Disaster Capitalism)
and we will burn because we won't unite! (We could stop the rape of liberty if we would put our political differences aside and not only follow the Constitution but force our elected officials to do so. There's a fucking reason why the 110th Congress has a lower approval rating than Bush.)
We won't witness anymore freedom. (Because our freedom is gone. If democracy can't succeed in America, where can it?)
Where is anybody? Do we need 'em?"
I would rather fight,
than let another die.
We're the problem,
but we're also the solution. (Most Americans are either apathetic or lazy and are not holding their government accountable. Ben Franklin once said, "The most important role in a democracy is the role of the citizen.")
ALL HOPE IS GONE!!! (And ALL HOPE IS GONE because we don't defend democracy and keep our leaders in check)
The rest of the song is more a indictment against the man who stole the Oval Office and where we are as a nation today.
Gematria, track 3. Gematria is "a play upon words," where numerical values can be assigned to each letter and used as a cipher to reveal another message. It would be sweet if there's actually something to this and I'm thinking there will be. Probably, Qabbalistic since AHIG mentions Gehenna, track 8, which is the Jewish Hell; fire for the wicked.
That's all the stuff I noticed so far on AHIG. Aside from that enjoy the music.
