If I Had A Soul
Soul's Confrontation: Unveiling the Nightmarish Reality
Lyrics
Life is their game
Life is a game controlled by others
Death is your victory
Death is portrayed as a triumph
News media say
Media reports convey information
Another million died today
Emphasizes the regular occurrence of mass death
It's a nightmare
Repetition underscores the nightmarish nature of the situation
It's a nightmare
-It's a nightmare
-If I had a soul
Expresses a lack of personal morality or essence
They smile as they're watching you die
Observers find pleasure in witnessing others' demise
It makes then feel all powerful
Derives satisfaction from the sense of control over life and death
Heretic priests and presidents
Leaders in religious and political realms
As the media spreads their word
The media amplifies their influence
Crushed and folded, bent and molded
Describes a process of mental and spiritual manipulation
Deeply sedated as they violate
-Turned outside inwards skewered and sinful
-As in your soul they drive their stake
-It's a nightmare
Reiteration reinforces the nightmarish quality
It's a nightmare
-It's a nightmare
-If I had a soul
Reiterates the absence of a soul in the context
They smile as they're watching you die
Repeats the pleasure derived from witnessing death
It makes them feel all powerful
Continues to emphasize the satisfaction of control
Heretic priests and presidents
Leaders in religious and political realms
As the media spreads their word
The media magnifies their influence
If I had a soul
Reiteration of the lack of a soul and the pleasure derived from death
If I had a soul
-They smile as they're watching you die
-It makes them feel all powerful
-Heretic priests and presidents
-As the media spreads their word
-Crushed and folded, bent and molded
Describes a process of mental and spiritual violation
Deeply sedated as they violate
-Turned outside inwards skewered and sinful
-As in your soul they drive their stake
