Fear Factory Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There is no love
I am a duplication
Innocently
I was conceived
So violently
There was no love
There was no love for me
There was only hatred

I am rape
I am hate
I am rape
I am hate

Every day I feel anonymous hate
Forever in the shadow of disgrace

I am rape
I am hate
I am rape
I am hate

Filled with pain
A bruised and darknened soul
Spare me from the
Life that's full of misery

I don't want to live that way
I don't want to live that way

There is no love

Every day I feel anonymous hate
Forever in the shadow of disgrace

I am rape
I am hate
I am rape
I am hate

Filled with pain
A bruised and darkened soul
Spare me from the
Life that's full of misery

I am so filled with pain
A bruised and darkened soul
Spare me from the
Life that's full of misery

I don't want to live that way
I don't want to live that way

I am so filled with pain
A bruised and darkened soul
Spare me from the
Life that's full of misery

Spare me from the
Life that's full of pain
Spare me from the
Life that's full of pain

I don't want to live that way
I don't want to live that way

The lyrics "Every day I feel anonymous hate, forever in the shadow of disgrace" further emphasises the singer's feelings of being alienated and unwanted in society.


The chorus repeats the lines "I am rape, I am hate" expressing how deeply these feelings are ingrained in the singer's psyche. The lines "Filled with pain, a bruised and darkened soul" expresses how deeply hurt the singer is, and how they do not want to live a life that is full of misery and pain.


Overall, the song seems to be about an individual who is struggling with their own identity and the circumstances surrounding their life. The pain they feel and the constant hate that they face has left them feeling like they don't want to exist. It is a powerful song that captures the deep emotions of pain and anguish.

Great bands & all equal at times, the only albums from Pantera & Machine Head which is really worth your time is, the classics called
Vulgar Display Of Power & Burn My Eyes,
Fear Factory imo were the only band of the 90's who consistently released classic like albums with Digimortal being the weakest up until that point & that was only because of internal feuding, I always consider Digimortal  to be Fear Factory's
...And Justice For All,
which is a bit of a grower, & Linchpin being the equivalent of One, 

Fear Factory were the most creative & inventive Metal band of the 90's I am sure there is more but in regards to pushing extreme metal to its limits and beyond, few can touch them.
(if they don't have talent that is.)

What about Pissing Razors brutal masterpiece Cast Down The Plague??

@toi_techno

Not way ahead of it's time. Metal was far better back then. What's being realised these days is a load of shite.
