Doom Town
Wipers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here on the street
Live in a doom town
Nothin ever change
Alway's stay the same
Live in a doom town
Doom town
People with blank stare's
No one who care's
Live in a doom town
You can never win
Living innocent
Live in a doom town
Doom town
The lyrics to Wipers' song Doom Town paint a bleak picture of life on the streets, where everything is incomplete and nothing ever changes. The repetition of "live in a doom town" drives home the idea that this is a pervasive and inescapable reality for those who find themselves in these circumstances. The people in this environment are depicted as having "blank stares" and a lack of caring, creating a sense of isolation and hopelessness. The final lines about never being able to win, even when living innocently, suggests that the system is rigged and oppressive, and no amount of effort or goodness will be enough to overcome it.
