Lyrics
Before my eyes, lies
There are only falsehoods and deceit in front of my sight.
Nothing but lies
All that is visible are lies.
I cannot believe the scenes
I am unable to accept or believe the events happening.
Taking place beneath our skies
These events are occurring beneath the sky.
It makes me want to do my time
These circumstances provoke a desire to experience confinement, perhaps in a narrative or on the movie screen.
In a song or on the silver-screen
Expresses the wish to escape reality through artistic forms.
Humanity is the biggest cancer
Humanity is metaphorically referred to as a malignant and destructive force.
Ever to be seen
Describes humanity as the most severe and harmful disease ever witnessed.
Before my eyes, lies
Again emphasizing the prevalence of deceit and dishonesty.
Civiliesation
The falsehoods are about the concept of civilization.
Ancient and wicked
Describes civilization as old and evil.
Destruction in creation
Creation involves destruction and ruin.
No matter how low you are
No matter how degraded someone might feel, there's always another person considered inferior.
There's always someone to look down upon
Indicates an ongoing cycle of degradation and contempt.
And it goes "FUCKIN'"
An expression of frustration or anger, possibly symbolizing the perpetuation of negative emotions.
On and on
The cycle of degradation continues endlessly.
Emotionless, obscene
Detached from emotions, something abhorrent and offensive.
But a human life don't mean
The value of a human life holds no significance.
Anything to me
The speaker does not assign importance or value to human life.
It's merely a seed of insanity
Human life is perceived as a starting point of madness or irrationality.
Emotionless, obscene
Similar to line 21, devoid of feelings, something disgusting.
But a human life don't mean
Reiterates the lack of significance attributed to human life.
Anything to me
The speaker holds no value or regard for human life.
It's merely a seed of insanity
Human life is seen as the beginning or origin of madness.
