Blood Brothers
● Papa Roach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you don't know if the next man is dumbin'
Survival of the fittest what it is
I got your back, you got my back, and that's the biz
Blood is rushing through my veins, I got the power
Channel the energy and with my strength I will devour
Sickenin thoughts is runnin' through my head
That's when I realized I'm glad I'm not dead
Corruption and it grows
The salesman of our blood
For the public's craving
Existence in the dark
It's in our nature to destroy ourselves
It's in our nature to kill ourselves
It's in our nature to kill each other
It's out nature to kill, kill, kill
It was a dream and then it hit me
Reality struck, and now my life is all shifty
And it all moves, close to a buck 50
We all stand strong in respect to the family
In times of insanity
And through words of profanity
I describe our dysfunctional family
Blood brothers keep it real to the end
Deeper than the thoughts you think, not a trend
Corruption and it grows
The salesman of our blood
For the public's craving
Existence in the dark
It's in our nature to destroy ourselves
It's in our nature to kill ourselves
It's in our nature to kill each other
It's out nature to kill, kill, kill
It's in our nature to destroy ourselves
It's in our nature to kill ourselves
It's in our nature to kill each other
It's out nature to kill, kill, kill
Again and again
Corruption and it grows
The salesman of our blood
For the public's craving
Existence in the dark
(Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,)
The song "Blood Brothers" by Papa Roach speaks about the concept of brotherhood, loyalty, and trust. The lyrics emphasize the importance of having each other's backs in a world where danger lurks around every corner. The first stanza expresses the idea that one cannot always rely on strangers because they might turn against you at any moment. That's why having a blood brother or a family member who is always there to support you is crucial. The line "Blood is rushing through my veins, I got the power" is a metaphor for the strength that comes from being part of a close-knit group.
The second stanza highlights the theme of corruption and how it affects society. The "salesman of our blood" refers to those who profit from the pain and suffering of others. The "public craving" symbolizes people's insatiable desire for sensationalism and drama. Meanwhile, those who live in the shadows are forced to endure a life of misery and hardship. The chorus emphasizes the song's central message, which is that humans are naturally inclined towards self-destruction and violence. The repetition of the phrase "It's in our nature to kill, kill, kill" adds a sense of urgency and inevitability to the lyrics.
Overall, the song's lyrics are thought-provoking and topical. It highlights the dark underbelly of human nature and how it affects our relationships and interactions with others. The use of imagery and metaphors is particularly effective in conveying the message of the song.
