Shinedown - Devour

Song: Devour

Artist: Shinedown

Album: The Sound Of Madness

Shinedown is an American rock band from Jacksonville, Florida.

Devour, the lead single from Shinedown's third studio album was released on May 5th 2008. It has been stated that Devour is about George W. Bush. I think it's about how the Bush administration did way more harm than good. About how Bush caused damage to his own country. And about the many mistakes made regarding the Iraq war. I think the lyric "it's your final hour" is about how Bush was almost out of office when the song was released, and a lot of people were happy to see him go. I like the lyrics and I love the fast paced, hard rock sound of this song.

"Devour"

Take it and take it and take it and take it and take it all
Take it and take it and take it until you take us all
Smash it and crash it and thrash it and trash it
You know they're only toys
Try it you'll like it don't hide it don't fight it, just let it out
Steal and shoot it and kill it or take another route
Take it and take it and take it
You know they're only toys

Devour Devour
Suffocate your own empire
Devour Devour
It's your final hour

Devour Devour
Stolen like a foreign soul
Devour Devour
What a way to go

You want it, you want it, you want it, you want it
Well here it is
Everything everything everything
Isn't so primitive

Take it and take it and take it and take it and take it all
Nobody nobody wants to feel like this
Nobody nobody wants to live like this
Nobody nobody wants a war like this

Devour Devour
Suffocate your own empire
Devour Devour
It's your final hour

Devour Devour
Stolen like a foreign soul
Devour Devour
What a way to go
What a way to go

Diving down
Round and round
diving down
round and round

Devour Devour
Suffocate your own empire
Devour Devour
It's your final hour

Devour Devour
Stolen like a foreign soul
Devour Devour
What a way to go

Devour Devour
Suffocate your own empire
Devour Devour
It's your final hour

Devour Devour
Stolen like a foreign soul
Devour Devour
What a way to go
What a way to go
