Mushroomhead - Destroy the World Around Me Lyrics






As they feed the war machine and pull the strings behind the scenes
With a bloated sense of supremacy

Blinded by the preconceived distorted way to be perceived
It's what's believed by your enemy

Hold on to something - Here come the rains
This damn is about to break
Hold on to nothing - Self-contained
How much more can you take

Might is right and thought is wrong it's along road nowhere
Enjoy the ride with blinders on

Your government is in control they'll keep you safe inside your homes
Board your windows lock your doors - let freedom ring

Hold on to something - Here come the rains
This damn is about to break
Hold on to nothing - Self-contained
How much more can you take
Before you break
Let freedom ring

Unto the dawn of darkness - glistening
Faithless savior murder me
Feed me to failure - disbelief
What does it take - everything I could want believe
Feed me to failure faithless savior murder me
Finish me - feed me to failure murder me
Finish me - what does it take to stop me
Finish me - nothing could make me not believe
Won't let this world get to me - finish me
I'll never live your life for me - unto the dawn
Unto the dawn of darkness
Unto the dawn - glistening
Feed me to failure finish me
Feed me to failure murder me
Unto the dawn of darkness finish me
Finish me - Unto the dawn murder me

Caught in the wave of the world around me
And in this state I'm sure it could drowned me
Will I ever learn the way everywhere I turn today
Something tells me runaway something burns inside me
Even though I've pressed erase
Feel it slowly fade away
Thoughts that go on endlessly
How much longer can I wait
What does it take what does it take

Caught in the wave of the world around me
And in this state I'm sure it could drowned me
Caught in the wave of the world around me
And in this state I'm sure it could drowned me

What does it take what does it take

Will I ever learn the way everywhere I turn today
Something tells me runaway something burns inside me
Even though I've pressed erase
Feel it slowly fade away
Thoughts that go on endlessly
How much longer can we wait

Caught in the wave of the world around me
And in this state I'm sure it could drowned me

    Nostalgia XIII 🤘 PROUD TO SAY MUSHROOMHEAD/DOPE/SOIL WAS MY 1ST CONCERT! LUCK SUMBITCH I WAS!

    G.... W....

    Weird, that was my first one, too. Earthlink Live in ATL.

  24. m.... w....

    Haha, It's a dam like a wall holding back a large body of water. You spelled damn as in damnation. 😆 Its just funny. Usually people get it the other way around. Like they spell dam when referring to the word damnation.
    Edit: Not trying to be a grammar Nazi. Although there's nothing wrong with correcting misuse of the English language. But none the less, I'm not just correcting your spelling I'm more or less pointing it out because it's kinda comical. Get it right next time fucker!! 😉 jk

    m.... w....

    Dam autocorrect.

  25. c.... ....

    This track is fucking incredible. The ending really needs to be extended though, I get blue balls every time.

  26. C.... W....

    Whole album is underrated.

    C.... W....

    Best album in my opinion it didn't come outta my player for about a year...

  27. r.... p....

    Teenage me listening to this on the way to a party to make sure shit did in fact get fucked up. Love.

  28. M.... R....

    Fucn amazing song...hits home

  29. S.... W....

    This is one st of the first comment sections or just hearing out of people's mouths that ALMOST didn't compare MRH to SK!!

  30. C.... S....

    love it

  31. s.... a....

    Such an underrated song:(

  32. a.... f....

    This is a song about alcoholism.

    a.... f....

    Sadly not, but if it's whatcha think. I have no qualms with that bro..

    a.... f....

    I'm a typical Aussie & alcoholism is the norm here 😃 I fucking love this song & it'll probably be one of my funeral songs 😄 fuck I love this song 😁

  33. m.... ....

    So fucking epic!! I can't get enough of this song

  34. S.... H....

    Perfect song to slow fuck to

  35. M.... ....

    Perfect Anti-illuminati song.

    M.... ....

    Or foreshadowing the next freemason false flag.

    HOLD ON TO SOMETHING
    HERE COME THE RAINS
    THIS DAMN IS ABOUT TO BREAK

    M.... ....

    @John Goblikon is my spirit animal Agreed.

    M.... ....

    @Mafaman lol i got this notification and noticed it auto corrected dam to damn. I'm not that srupid. I promise

    M.... ....

    That something to hold on to is silver btw. Something has to fund the next pre-emptive war, they can't use the excuse they used on sept 10th 2001.

  36. B.... W....

    Those lyrics are deep

  37. E.... M....

    Damn that's crazy

  38. S.... Q....

    This is one of my all time favorite songs

  39. D.... X....

    This should be our National Anthem!

    D.... X....

    Hahaha damn he can't say shit to that insult!

    D.... X....

    @steve nemeth sure I can. I just didnt see it fuck boy.

    D.... X....

    Hell yea!

    D.... X....

    lol I just realized how perfectly this would work as our national anthem

    the parts
    -"As they feed the war machine and pull the strings behind the scenes
    With a bloated sense of supremacy
    Blinded by the preconceived distorted way to be perceived
    It's what believed by your enemy"-

    D.... X....

    @Dread Fury exactly!

  40. A.... M....

    Perfect ❤

    A.... M....

    Aline Melli i there

    A.... M....

    Aline Melli minha br 😉

  41. R.... D....

    This song fucking awesome
    And rise up and take it all

  42. S.... Q....

    This and Simple Survival are my favorite Mushroomhead songs to date.

  43. J.... R....

    shloopnoot= edgy kids in skiny jeans.
    Mushroomhead=WW2 in the 70s

  44. E.... M....

    Badass song to pump iron too

  45. R.... S....

    best Shit ever 😈😈😈😈💯💯🍄💀

  46. R.... S....

    best Shit ever 😈😈😈😈💯💯🍄💀

  47. T.... R....

    Knock knock. Hello? Hi North Korea we heard you need 12 million square miles of glass.......war is inevitable we can play campfire songs or admit some people need extinction. I for one have no issue with murdering people. Liberals cried love our enemies murder our unborn but we want women's rights. Just not the women not born. Pregnancy isn't a baby. We could have a toaster in there. It's not a human until it cries. Fuck you. Seattle wants to Make everyone poor. Survival of the fittest vs make everyone unfit and let us all die together under socialism. It's my family or Muslims, gays, cowards and Isis. And I say fuck you. This has been and will be America. I'll die for it. Not riot.

    T.... R....

    Well said too. Let the blood tides rise. You and me both man

    T.... R....

    Well said man*

    T.... R....

    It's not murder if they are already dead. And want to cause more to join thier numbers

  48. U.... S....

    Intro sounds like a Bruce Faulconer DBZ theme.

  49. D.... Z....

    Let freedom ring

  50. O.... ....

    Probably one of Mushroomhead's most powerful songs...

    O.... ....

    Red-Nexus Music na

    O.... ....

    This whole album is a master piece

  51. C.... A....

    Such powerful lyrics... This song woke me up back in the day

    C.... A....

    Chris Ahlers check out snooze button from The band SNOT..

    C.... A....

    yeah i just j-mann was in it longer

    C.... A....

    Likewise! Back when I was trotting on a paper round, I'd have this album on most days, and I'd always get to the half-way point when this song would start. Always gave me a bit of perk for the rest of the route.

    C.... A....

    W O K E

    C.... A....

    Yeah it is. The whole 8:15 are Intense lyrics.

  52. M.... M....

    the eye holy shit

  53. B.... S....

    ugh I love this band

    B.... S....

    Bethany Star Alise Nice

    B.... S....

    Same 😍 and Slipknot

    B.... S....

    Same ❤️🤘🏻

    B.... S....

    Bethany Star Alise how long have you known them

  54. A.... S....

    Murder me

  55. M.... D....

    good song, fuck Zionism eryday

    M.... D....

    @National Socialism I don't have time to waste on your shite info. Provide your sources.

    M.... D....

    @National Socialism Fuck both Zionism and National Socialism.

    M.... D....

    @Anthony Haller See, here's the thing about that buddy. This is a ton of information I've just copy pasted.. It would take me hours to put sources in this, do you think I have all day? It's YOUR job to confirm the sources through your own independent research, I just gave you the key, so go to work son!... The thing about the truth it requires study in order to understand.

    M.... D....

    Yes very good. At least you aren't a blind supporter of Zionism like many.

    M.... D....

    I do see what you are trying to say. I know that they lie about the amount of people murdered by the Germans. But I'm not even sure that it didn't happen.

  56. �.... �....

    Greatest song ever!!!

  57. b.... ....

    I'm having difficulty with my ability to convey a point right now, but these lines, yes, just yes all over.

    "Might is right, and thought is wrong
    It's a long road nowhere...
    enjoy the ride with blinders on
    your government is control
    they'll keep you safe inside your homes
    board your windows, lock your doorshold on to something
    here comes the rains, this dam is about to break..."

  58. D.... ....

    beautiful af

  59. e.... ....

    THIS SONG THO

  60. M.... D....

    so fucking epic!!!

  61. T.... W....

    I have listened to Mushroomhead hahahhha soooo much that i find myself humming their songs without thinking about it. They should come up with an album called "GOSPEL".

    T.... W....

    +Travis Wilkerson right? Mushroomhead are the new cult kings so yeahwe can all let Mushroomhead save us while they kill tomorrow yesterday

    T.... W....

    +Duskabelle Vonn Blazingskull i see what you did there

  62. D.... M....

    the MRH tracks that have synthesized human voices are always severe and usually my favorite tracks see if you notice the difference in content and feel maybe it's just me

  63. C.... K....

    this band brought me places growing up, love n respect

  64. J.... L....

    "Let freedom ring" with that bell in the background is fucking creepy and I love it. One of my favorite Mushroomhead songs.

  65. B.... ....

    got to be one of the heaviest intros ever

    B.... ....

    mike anglada " with a shotgun blast "

    B.... ....

    Look up Lamb of God "Vigil" or basically any Septic Flesh song.
    Demon Hunter 'The Flame that Guides Us Home" + "Not I" (Have to be listened to together, first one is a short album intro"

    B.... ....

    @Miscreant it doesn't have to be scream o' death metal to be heavy it's the dark sound and heavy distortion of guitars that makes it heavy..

    B.... ....

    @steve nemeth Also the headbanging rithm it has plus the good lyrics

    B.... ....

    @Wet u got it! 🤘🤘

  66. I.... C....

    This song perfectly describes PTSD. Not sure if that's what they were going for, but it sounds like it was written from a vet's perspective.

    I.... C....

    +medicineman729 its talking about th governments big ass conspiracy and how its true you're right our gov does what it wants that's why mrh stays in brazil

    I.... C....

    They're from the states.

    I.... C....

    Kristabella Klairessa Erlynella Fireheart. Brazil is more messed up than the US is, which is odd for me to say. But Mushroomhead started in the US, and lives in the US.

  67. A.... H....

    About what the elite want to do in the future.

  68. K.... ....

    This is a smashing good song.
    Splendid!

  69. J.... ....

    Insane song!

  70. S.... H....

    fuck yea.

  71. C.... J....

    eh... alright song

  72. C.... J....

    cool, i just typed the phrase and this song came up. good song too.

  73. j.... d....

    i love how slipknot came out with a song similar to this a couple years after this one came out

    j.... d....

    john divine do you know which one? I'm a fan of both bands, but I don't think I've heard any slipknot song that sounds similar.

    j.... d....

    Cory Taylor is a simpleton. Has nothing on Jeffrey, Waylon or Jmann.

    j.... d....

    @Chad Gartner As much as I like Corey and his voice I have to agree

  74. H.... ....

    Popson is a really talented singer. The colour of his clean voice really appeals to me and it really complements Hatrix' deeper voice.

  75. T.... K....

    Correction, he's referring to an actual dam, not damn as in goddamn

  76. T.... K....

    I misspelled it you jackass

  77. D.... ....

    i like how you censored the word DAM, which is not a curse word. Shame how no one can remember their homophones. Damn not equal to dam.

  78. H.... E....

    "Might is right and thought is wrong" That's war in a nutshell, and it is indeed a long road nowhere, throwing logic out of the window.
    Stuck in a 21st century stone age...
    There goes my faith in humanity for the... I've lost count.

  79. B.... ....

    the whole fucking thing is

  80. S.... T....

    As they feed the war machine

  81. F.... 6....

    sick intro

  82. P.... C....

    Simply perfect

  83. T.... K....

    HOLD ON TO SOMETHING!!

    HERE COME THE RAINS, THIS DAM* IS ABOUT TO BREAK!!!

  84. B.... E....
