I didn't know this, first thing that comes to mind is obviously the moshpit wall of death (people divide the crowd into two groups, then groups run into each other)

It reminds me of Rat Poison. The beat pattern is of the same kind, lots of bass kicks and it has a heavy distorted bassline.

Which lyrics are from Keef? The "fuck your heart attack" lines? It sounds like Keef.

Maxim got the wall of death. Keiths on Fuck this fuck that etc.

Think "my friends" and the robotic "welcome to the wall of death" before the beats is from B Culture.

Looking at the last link, it seems to me that the "Wall Of Death" is basically a metaphor for "dangerous sound", as the actual thing is a dangerous place to ride bikes. Now Maxim's lyrics make even more sense to me:

You're not ready to visualize - you're not ready to imagine (what the dangerous music sounds like)
I'm not here to be sterilized - I'm not here (in music) to be restricted

Follow me to the Wall Of Death - let me show you what the dangerous sound is
Welcome to the Wall Of Death - hear (welcome to) the dangerous sound


Now, it is harder to decipher Keith's lyrics and they might not have that much meaning, bit it could be something like:

Fuck this and fuck the cash - fuck the safe/mainstream sound and the money that it brings
Fuck you and your heart attack - fuck anyone who's scared of the dangerous sound (so scared, that it gives them a figurative heart attack)


Maybe someone has already shared similar thoughts, or if not, maybe I'm over-analysing :)
But anyway, just wanted to share my thoughts.

These lyrics actually mean: "This is the closing track of our final album. It was a great 25 years. Farewell."

Before you spout out condescending nonsense about WoD please remember Fuel My Fire and give yourself a pat on the back for realizing you are completely wrong if you're trying to dis this new track OR Liam.

I'm slowly beginning to dismiss my skepticism regarding Liam's statement:
“We're all going to be buzzing off this record, I think it's our best ever.”.

Don't forget that Fuel My Fire is on what is considered by many (who discovered the band at that time) to be their best album. Therefore, it becomes by default superior to any track from any album. :-D

Joke aside, WoD is already my favourite album closer since Claustrophobic Sting.
