Overall Meaning

"Let Your Body Learn" lyrics by Nitzer Ebb describe the power of music in uniting people and the liberating effect it has on the body and mind. The fast beats and hard lines are a call to action, urging listeners to choose the music and rhythm that will help them achieve their goals. The choice is theirs, and by melding with the music, they can unite with others and find freedom from fear.


The lyrics "suffer little children written in pain" refer to the biblical verse "suffer the little children to come unto me" and criticize the institutionalized religion for imposing fear and pain on children. Similarly, the line "not calling with flesh" implies that sex is not a primary motivator, but rather the power of music and rhythm.


The repetition of "boys at one, girls at peace" emphasizes the unity and peace that can be achieved when people come together through music. The final lines urge listeners to let their bodies learn and build, to choose the fast beat and hard line, and to give their hearts to the liberating power of music.

First heard this song in GTA IV. Riding on a dirt bike on the coastline, chasing after Jimmy Pegorino who is trying to escape via boat. Somehow made choosing to take Revenge instead of taking the Deal feel like it was the right choice.
