Hardwired Lyrics

In the name of desperation
In the name of wretched pain
In the name of all creation
Gone insane

We're so fucked
Shit outta luck
Hardwired to self-destruct

On the way to paranoia
On the crooked borderline
On the way to great...

    in a documentary behind the writing of hardwired, james states that he heard the phrase and interpreted it as trying to not go down a path in which you were hardwired to go down, because if you do one thing, it leads to something horrible

    I think it's about the destruction humanity is bringing upon itself.

    "We're so fucked
    Shit outta luck
    Hardwired to self-destruct"

    Just the chorus supports the argument.

    I think it's about a path that you're hard wired to do like helping the earth or anything like that , and whatever you do you try and not go down the path you're maybe hard wired to do
