Lyrics
The monster of hate overcomes rational thought
The overwhelming force of hatred surpasses rational thinking.
Fast fuse burning the lessons I've been taught
A quick-burning fuse symbolizes disregarding learned lessons.
It's just too late to remember who I am
It's too late to recall one's identity.
The things that I believe in and the way that I stand
Loss of belief and a shift in stance on principles.
About peace, harmony, respect for fellow man
Values like peace, harmony, and respect are discarded.
All that shit just got thrown against the fan
All positive values are rejected or ignored.
In my violent rage, they say that I am a criminal
Amidst violent rage, society deems the person a criminal.
There ain't no labels within the human animal
No labels can define the complexity of the human animal.
In this world of bigotry and pain
A world filled with prejudice and suffering.
The violence spreads and terror reigns
Violence spreads, causing terror.
The opinions in our minds replace our souls
Opinions replace the essence of our being.
As the human animal takes control
The destructive nature of humanity takes over.
The path of self-destruction has brought me to this point
Self-destructive choices lead to a critical juncture.
As modern day society cracks arthritic joints
Society, like aging joints, is cracking.
No mercy is shown, it's hitting all my weak spots
No mercy is given, exploiting vulnerabilities.
I never had a gun, but now I want to hear gun shots
A desire for gunshots, a yearning for violence.
I sleep not for fear, I get no rest
Fear prevents rest and peace of mind.
Twisted in a sense, 'cause my button has been pressed
Distorted, twisted, due to a triggered response.
How many ways have you shown me that you hate me
Expressions of hatred are numerous and apparent.
And then you wonder why what have you done to me lately
Questioning the consequences of constant hostility.
I am an animal
Identification as an untamed, primal being.
The human animal
The acknowledgment of being a human animal.
A human animal
Reiteration of the primal nature of humanity.
Tension building, I'm being pushed too far
Increasing tension, pushing to a breaking point.
I need a release, take the lid of this jar
Seeking release from the pressure, like opening a jar.
My voice seems useless in this situation
Feeling powerless, contemplating action.
Time to take action, release frustration
A call to take action to alleviate frustration.
Everyone has limits, only so much you can take
Everyone has limits; pressure exacerbates the situation.
Antagonizing pressure is the icing on the cake
Antagonizing pressure adds to the existing stress.
Physical abuse, induced or subliminal
Both physical and subtle forms of abuse.
Open the door, unleash the human animal
Opening the door to unleash primal instincts.
Flashes of red my vision of distortion
Distorted vision, heightened emotional state.
Like a virus, it spreads, giving each his portion
A destructive force that spreads, affecting everyone.
Contagious psychopath, the vibe is in synch
A shared psychotic state, reverting to basic instincts.
Movin' like a pack, we're back to basic instincts
Revealing true colors, embracing primal nature.
Wild at heart, now we show our true colors
In desperation, forgetting the bonds with others.
In the path of desperation, we forget about our brothers
Abandoning loyalty, prioritizing self over others.
Who would die for us, now, we die for no man
Formerly willing to die for others, now consumed by violence.
Deranged from the instance, violence came too hard
Driven to madness by excessive violence.
Instinctual behavior in the given situation
Reacting instinctively to the given situation.
Leaves us with no call for rationalization
Lack of justification for rational thought.
