Lyrics

Every step you take is to the end

Every step in life leads inevitably towards its conclusion.

Chaos, duplicate the human slaves

Chaos ensues as humans are replicated and enslaved.

Mother nature so far away, why?

Mother nature seems distant, questioning the reasons for this separation.

Perfect is the race you dream

An idealized vision of a flawless race is envisioned.


Right now, I'll make my choice

The speaker is making a decisive choice in the present moment.

Perfection you fake is not

The perfection portrayed is false and not genuine.

The soul, not a genetic code

The soul is emphasized as distinct from mere genetic code.

You fools, you ignoramuses

A criticism directed at those who lack understanding or knowledge.


Hatchery, the newborn to celebrate

A place where new life is celebrated, possibly with a critical undertone.

Ashes to ashes, I see respect in the dust

A reflection on mortality, finding respect in the eventual return to dust.

Life is so perfect, aah

An ironic observation on the perceived perfection of life.


Now for the weak an abortion

Suggesting the termination of the weak as a celebration of perfection.

Celebrate perfection that grows

Celebrating the growth of perfection, particularly in the physical form.

The flesh, a gift of science

The body is considered a scientific gift.

The soul, a fault of a god

The soul is viewed as a flaw originating from a god.


Life on its way to the state of fire

Life is progressing towards a fiery state, symbolizing transformation.

From the cold taste of steel

Transition from the cold and rigid to warmth and flow.

Light embraces the dark, lava flowing free

Light embracing darkness, with lava symbolizing unrestrained creative energy.

And the cradle is

The cradle signifies a starting point or origin.

Forgot the reasons why we all lie so pale

Forgetting the reasons for deceitful actions, a reflection on human behavior.

On the playground of cold

A metaphorical playground where actions are cold and detached.

Mother nature is at saturation point

Pointing to the saturation of Mother Nature, possibly due to human impact.

And the cradle is falling down

The cradle is falling down, suggesting a collapse or failure in the origin.


Right now, I'll make my choice

Reiteration of the speaker's current decisive moment.

Perfection you fake is not

Again emphasizing the falseness of the portrayed perfection.

The soul, not a genetic code

Reiterating the distinction between the soul and genetic code.

You fools, you ignoramuses

A final critique directed at those lacking understanding or knowledge.
