Some Kind of Monster Lyrics

These are the eyes that can't see me
These are the hands that drop your trust
These are the boots that kick you 'round
This is the tongue that speaks on the inside
These are the ears that ring with hate
This is the face that'll never...

   This could be about rebellion against the right to bear arms in the American constitution. The repition of "we the people" followed by "are we the people?" Questioning opening line from the constitution that it is by and for the American people and therefore represents everybody.
   "This is the face you'll never change" reference to the difficulty people have changing gun laws in America.
   "This is the tongue that whips you down" and "These are the fears that swing over head" examples of references to the propaganda used to keep the current gun laws in place.
   "This is the tongue that speaks on the inside" referring to the power large companies and associations with the agenda of keeping gun laws as they are have within American government.

   These are the eyes that can't see me [ know one can see him who he rally are ]
   
   These are the boots that kick you around [ don't let people boss u around do whatever makes u happy ]
   
   This is the tongue that speaks on the inside [ thats when others stop listening for what u have to say anymore ]
   
   These are the ears that ring with hate [ don't judge people from what others say about anyone ]
   
   This is the face that'll never change [ just be honest ]
   This is the face that stones you cold [bad behavior from others]
   This is the moment that needs to breathe [don't rush things]
   These are the claws that scratch these wounds
   This is the pain that never leaves
   This is the tongue that whips you down [ don't let people brings u down]
   This is the test of flesh and soul [faith]
   This is the trap that smells so good [sin]
   This is the flood that drains these eyes [crying]
   These are the looks that chill to the bone [self-esteem - confidence]
   These are the fears that swing over head
   These are the weights that hold you down [doubt - fear]
