No Picture Brad Lead Player	#1 by Brad Vincent at Aug 12, 1973 at 10:19 AM EST
	Mudvayne rules ... but what a stupid lyric....

No Picture DUMBASS Average	#2 by DUMBASS Thomas at Feb 26, 1975 at 6:27 AM EST
	One of the best Mudvayne songs I've ever heard, the sound is just amazing. Anyways, for the meaning, I see it as what's been previously stated, where our humanity is so screwed up, that we all need to be destroyed and start all over. With one specific lyric... 'i'm washing my hands, of everything... of everything we are' Trying to wash away the disease that is known of humanity, of everything that makes us.

No Picture Jer Average	#3 by Jer at Mar 29, 1976 at 9:10 PM EST
	When I first heard the song I had the impression he was talking about suicide also. When he says "no more...", I thought he was talking about him not having to deal with society and all of life's problems. The key to nothing he speaks of is the answer to his distress: suicide. When he says it's a small killing, he's probably talking about how it would make such a little difference to the world and nobody would pay attention if he gave up and left.

No Picture Subhash Average	#4 by Subhash Shady at May 14, 1983 at 1:16 AM EST
	To me this song...is explaining how there's always gotta be differences, good and bad, all that. If not...it's nothing. This is a pretty cool song. It's just along the same genre as 1984, Fehrenheit 451, and damn..it what's that book...with Piggy...the kids get deserted on an island...?...

No Picture HammerOffFreak Professional	#5 by HammerOffFreak at Nov 30, 1983 at 11:13 PM EST
	I think this song is about suicide, not someone commiting suicede but i guess the idea of suicde. "The key to nothing" is ceasing to exist, and then there is 'no more' anything. I do however like "mudvaynechick's" seasaw idea. I never thought of the song in that way, gives me something to think about:)

No Picture Jordan Lead Player	#6 by Jordan Gadsby at May 18, 1986 at 10:23 AM EST
	I think this song maybe about the retarded Idea of trying to create a utopia. Much like Mudvaynechick's seesaw theory, if we were to have a perfect place in which we live, we'd have nothing. As for hold the key.. its exactly what he said, to nothing, hence no locks. As far as murder in the hands of motion, as time being in motion eventually having nothing everyone would become numb, have no reason to live, nothing to accomplish. Anyways this is a great song, most of their songs you can interpret to your own meaning dispite the meaning the writer of the song made them to be in his own mind. Such is the glory of great music :)

No Picture Badass	#7 by guess wha' i suck at Oct 4, 1989 at 1:34 PM EST
	I think it means something along the lines of suicide like lego9139, but i think hes talking more about death. To me death is everything that is mentioned in this song theres no more nothing, no more anything. I dont believe in life after death and thats why I like this song so much because i feel that its telling about what happens when we die. I dont care if any of you agree or dissagree with my oppionion but w/e

No Picture Bodom Lake Murd Average	#8 by Bodom Lake Murderer at May 10, 1992 at 7:16 AM EST
	I think this song is about suicide too, to get away from not just his life but all life and the whole world and does anyone here no what the whispering says in the background one is 'no more nothing' and i swear the other one is 'wishful killing' but i dont know

No Picture Mat Average	#9 by Mat Hancock at Jun 26, 1993 at 8:14 PM EST
	im not sure what this means but i think its talking about how everything is a seesaw, like if you got rid of sadness there would be no happiness cause u dont kno what happiness is like because you never experience anything different. so you either have all the bad crap in the world along with the good things or you dont have anything at all. So these things cancel each other out, you cannot have one without the other. Im not really sure what the part about murder is though...

No Picture zoe Wanna Be	#10 by zoe cherrie at Aug 1, 1996 at 10:44 PM EST
	It's so simple. Chad thinks that the world is so fucked up that we need to destroy everyting and everyone and start all over again. This song is a continuation of the theme of this cd. It is not about the need for difference, but the destruction of those deferences that keep us apart.

No Picture Toby Musical Thunder	#11 by Toby at Mar 7, 2000 at 9:43 PM EST
	You're a stupid lyric!

No Picture Subhash Average	#12 by Subhash Shady at Nov 15, 2003 at 9:37 AM EST
	ive just had a revelation. mabey the narrator has just done something horrible, like murder, and like i said up there, he is trying to make it more justifyable. hes thinking "if i dont do this i am unbalancing the equation, i need to be doing this."
