30/30-150 Lyrics
Never say forever cause forever's a lie
I can see right through it so I can ignore you
The story changes but the ending won't bore you
They didn't listen so they threw you away
Is this what you want?!
This is where it ends
This is where it begins
And this is where it ends
They left us alone in the maelstrom
As you can see we're all clearly alive
We know where you are and were coming
Lets see you say that shit to our face
Before I get ahead of myself again
I know the where but I still don't know the when
Be prepared for a whole world of hurt
Now it's the grand facade
I dont want to be an angel
I just want to be GOD
They left us alone in the maelstrom
As you can see we're all clearly alive
We know where you are and were coming
Lets see you say that shit to our face
I am a fucking machine fueled by the past
Memory's a memory until it's a fact
I can bury the hatchet and let some shit go
But I got too many grudges to hold!
I never want to walk that road again
Now I will never give up
I don't want to have it all, I JUST WANT TO HAVE ENOUGH
This is where it ends
This is where it begins
And this is where it ends
They left us alone in the maelstrom
As you can see we're all clearly alive
We know where you are and were coming
Lets see you say that shit to our face
30/30-150 remembers 30/30-150 HATES
First of all, it's a rifle bullet. Second, it was also Corey Taylor's physical dimensions in highschool- 30 in waist, 30 in pant leg, 150 lbs. It is also a code for "total nuclear annihilation", a possible reference to growing up in the Cold War. This is supported by the wavelength of residual radiation from fission being 30/30/150 nm.
Not that I'm some Corey Taylor expert or anything...
But the lines "I don't want to be an angel; I just want to be God" does make sense, even if Corey is a follower of the Law of One.
I don't know if Corey is a follower, but the Satanic Bible by Anton LaVey states that God is you. You treat yourself as God. Therefore everyone is equal.
I believe the song is Corey giving a f*** you to everyone that said that he wouldn't be successful with his music... as well as I believe that its also meant to be interpretted by the individual. By that I mean the idea that its about staying true to yourself.
Corey stayed true to his self by not giving up on music and he wanted people to be able to use this song as inspiration to do the same. If someone is on your back about something because they don't like it then give them a big f*** you and do it.
I Love This Song, I Have No Bloody Idea What Its About Though.. I Think Everyone Has Their Own Individual Meanings For It Though. And Me + My Friend Found Another SlipKnot Album Called Crowz :o With Corey AND Anders ^-^ so yeah.. XD awesome song though.
Corey explained the meaning in an interview. 30x30 was his waist and length of his pants and he weighed 150 pounds in high school. The songs about people telling him he'd never be anything and this is his 'fuck you' to them.
I heard the same thing straight from an interview, one of his bandmates gave in and asked corey what the meaning was and the above statement was coreys answer. IT WAS ON FUSE'S MAD GENIUS

Wow lol. 30-30-150 is him as a kid. He wore a 30/30 pants size and weighed 150 pounds. He is saying he remembers all the crap people talked about him and how he could never make it. Now he is basically saying **** you all.

30/30 was his pants size in high school and he was 150 pounds. This song is talking about how everyone told him he would never make anything of himself and he's talking about how far he's come since the kid he was in school.
I got bored reading through all of the comments and didn't see this through about 4 pages so here's what I think it is. It's describing a kid. He weighs 150 lbs and wears 30/30 jeans. This fits way better then the gun theory. 30/30 150 is a young, tall, and skinny kid that gets picked on. I'm a dominate gene is him thinking, I might look like nothing, being 30/30 150, but inside I'm a beast. It's also a play on words. I'm a dominate gene, but the 30/30 is referring to jeans. I think Corey is a lot smarter then you think.
@jjmcderm8050 Corey has talked about this many times so you don't really need to give an interpretation about the song. Coincidentally 30/30 was Corey's pants size and 150 pounds was his weight. The reason it's coincidental is that it's also a bullet for a lever action repeater rifle (there is also 30/30 170) and it's code for Total Nuclear Annihilation. There's another reference about the Egyptians which suggests that they ruled their land from 3030 B.C. to 150 A.D. The song also talks about politics and the fact that his generation was called a "dead generation". There are also bible...

The song also talks about politics and the fact that his generation was called a "dead generation". There are also bible references in which 30:30 150 fits but I'm not really convinced that Corey was talking religion here because out of the many interviews he's done where he's talked about this song, it was never brought up. So I'm gonna leave the religious references alone.
Second verse: it's "Be prepared for a whole world of hurt"
however, i have no idea what this song means. 30/30 150? Huh?
30/30-150 is a gun shell
30/30-150 is a gun shell
maybe, but i heard from corey in an interview that its called 30/30 - 150 cuz he wore a size 30 waist and 30 length pant and weighed 150lbs in his school days... So he basically says "the old me remembers, and the old me hates"

30/30-150 is a shotgun shell.
its a rifle
its a rifle
First of all, it's a rifle bullet, not a shotgun shell. Very different. Second, it was also Corey Taylor's physical dimensions in highschool- 30 in waist, 30 in pant leg, 150 lbs. It is also a code for "total nuclear annihilation", a possible reference to growing up in the Cold War. This is supported by the wavelength of residual radiation from fission being 30/30/150 nm.
