This could be corrupt ‘family values’ politicians, self-promoting televangelists looking for money, or terrorists twisting religion to justify violence. This line is talking about superficial entities ‘perverting’ religion and traditional values for their own purposes. ‘Sacrosanct’ also has religious connotations, as it comes from the 15th century latin word ‘sacrosanctus’, which means ‘a holy rite’.

If something is ‘sacrosanct’ it means an inviolable principle, ‘a holy cow’, for instance family values. Subversion means to undermine authority and to package it talks about Corey’s wish to make courage and rebellion an easily accessible item. This talks about how people should fight against authority that restricts us like social norms and government. He quickly adds “the sickening” as an afterthought, expressing his disgust at the progression of society towards oblivion. He could be saying as society continues to further and further worsen, we approach the end. This is one of the reasons he’s fed up with modern Western society – he’s done his time and he wants out. The human condition is not as warm and loving as that (“the soul is not so vibrant” – people are only behaving this way to get something. “It doesn’t cut” = it’s not sincere, it doesn’t add up. People can fake friendship, affection or excitement in life and flatter others, but it – fades. ‘Effusive’ means to show pleasure or gratitude in an overwhelming way. These two lines express Corey Taylor’s disgust at the insincerity of human behaviour in modern society. I did my time and I want out, so effusive.
