Practiced Hatred
The Locust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
His hate and pain
Drowned in their blood
Collecting slaves
For his afterlife
The Locust's cover of Crossed Out's Practiced Hatred is a track that is full of dark and ominous imagery. The opening lines "His hate and pain, drowned in their blood" immediately set the tone for this song. The lyrics seem to describe a bloodthirsty leader who revels in the suffering of others. The lines that follow, "collecting slaves for his afterlife" paint a picture of a tyrant who is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve power and control, even if it means sacrificing other people's lives.
The theme of hatred and violence is further explored in the chorus of the song. The lyrics "Practiced hatred, practiced violence" suggest that these are not just random acts, but rather a deliberate and calculated strategy. The repetition of the word "practiced" reinforces this idea, implying that these violent acts are part of a larger plan.
Overall, The Locust's rendition of Practiced Hatred is a disturbing and unsettling song that explores themes of violence, hatred, and power. The intense and aggressive delivery of the lyrics adds to the overall feeling of unease and danger in the song.
