the.grudge

the grudge
wear the grudge like a crown of negativity
calculate what we will or will not tolerate
desperate to control all and everything
unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen

clutch it like a cornerstone, otherwise it all comes down
justify denials and grip 'em to the lonesome end
clutch it like a cornerstone, otherwise it all comes down
terrified of being wrong, ultimatum prison cell

saturn ascends, choose one or ten, hang on or be humbled again

clutch it like a cornerstone, otherwise it all comes down
justify denials and grip 'em to the lonesome end
saturn ascends, comes round again
saturn ascends, the one, the ten, ignorant to the damage done

wear the grudge like a crown of negativity
calculate what we will or will not tolerate
desperate to control all and everything
unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen

wear the grudge like a crown, desperate to control
unable to forgive, and we're sinking deeper

defining, confining, controlling, and we're sinking deeper

saturn comes back around to show you everything
let's you choose what you will not see and then
drags you down like a stone or lifts you up again
spits you out like a child, light and innocent

saturn comes back around, lifts you up like a child or
drags you down like a stone
to consume you till you choose to let this go

give away the stone
let the oceans take and transmutate this cold and fated anchor
give away the stone
let the waters kiss and transmutate these leaden grudges into gold

let go
opinion 01: trent reznor: he is one hungry man. have you seen this guy? he's fat. now he "claims" he is drinking slim fast and further b.s. at this point in time, however (making of lateralus), maynard knew trent reznor and was planning on working with him. at one point, maynard saw a candy bar. he was hungry, obviously (that silly jujitsu boy). so he decided to pick it up, but suddenly, it was the fatman trent! they fought over it with intensity. maynard shout out "let go!" and voila! "the grudge" was born.

opinion 02: i swear, he must be talking about something dealing with the bible!

opinion 03: it's the first step in becoming a better person: letting go of everything you hold against everyone else. he makes many references to "the scarlet letter" which also deals with holding a grudge.
