The Wrist Lyrics

Artist: Mushroomhead
Album: XX

Acting Tragically,
In An Inept Manner
Trying To Act Like
Something Really Mattered
When I Open My Eyes
It's All Gone
Overthrown By Your Children
God Willing Shut You Down
It's Like The Closer I Get
I Start To Regret
What I've Done
A Sick Piece Of Shit,
With The Balls To Admit,
When He's Wrong
React Defiantly
I Am Someone, Someone
Might Even Fool Myself
Before I'm Done
When I Open My Eyes
It's All Gone
Overthrown By Your Children
God Willing Shut You Down
Making Believe
There's Someplace I Belong
Greedo Died By The Hand Of Solo
Amass A Fortress Of Steel
Unsure If I Can Instill My Will
Is Caving In Black
'til There's No Bringing It Back Again
Led Astray By Their Mock Sincerity
False Charity
Condemned
Chewing Insult
Inheriting Unwarranted Birthright
Crown A Scapegoat
New King Of Shit
Ignorance Is Followed
By Ignorance
Repetition Diminishing Senses
Defenseless
Crippled Libido
Greedo Died By The Hand Of Solo
When I Open My Eyes
It's All Gone
Making Believe
There's Someplace I Belong
When I Open My Eyes
It's All Gone
Might Even Fool Myself
Before I'm Done

The entire song is about the original Star Wars trilogy, focusing on and possibly from the point of view of Darth Vader, and his relationship with Luke. "The Wrist" is a reference to Vader cutting off Luke's hand, and Greedo's death refers to the cantina scene in Empire where he was shot by Han Solo.

"Overthrown by your children" refers to Luke and Leia, Vader's children, working to overthrow Vader. "Amass a fortress of steel" refers to the Death Star. "Caving In Black 'til There's No Bringing It Back Again/Led Astray By Their Mock Sincerity" refers to Vader's seduction and conversion to the Dark Side.

The final message of the song is Vader's realization that joining the Empire was the wrong path and his regret over his choice.
