Dystopia
Abatoir Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Living here
Crushed by fear
Why do they feed
When I bleed
I want to know
Why I belong here

And I run
Into new Sun
It must be near
Clearly now I feel
Just like the one
God's burning sun

We all live in this Dystopia
No one is free from fear
Want to fly up to the Moon
But We are still chained here

Social hell
Brooding well
Frantic eyes
Swallowing lies




The sum of my fears
Allows me to kill

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Abatoir's song Dystopia depict the bleak and dystopian reality of the world we live in. The singer is living in a state of constant fear and asks why the powers that be continue to hurt them. The listener can sense the despair and hopelessness in the singer's voice as they question their place in this world. The desire to escape is strong, and the singer runs towards the promise of a new sun, hoping for a better life.


The chorus hints at the universality of this dystopian world, where no one is free from fear. The imagery of wanting to escape to the moon only to be chained to this world further highlights the entrapment and oppression felt by the singer. The second verse delves deeper into the social aspect of this dystopia, where the singer is surrounded by lies and lives in a state of constant anxiety. The culmination of these fears pushes the singer to the point of violence, underlining the desperation and helplessness that characterizes this world.


Abatoir's Dystopia is a powerful and thought-provoking commentary on the state of our society. The lyrics are open to interpretation, but the overall message seems to be one of warning against the dangers of a world characterized by oppression, anxiety, and despair. It forces the listener to question their own perception of the world while exposing the painful and often-overlooked reality of life in the so-called "civilized" world.
