ELEMENT
Abhorrance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Build it up! let it all out!
feel me inside killing you from within
you are just an artificial form of authority
egocentric, misogynist, homophobic, worthless fuck

only through your death shall your existence be validated
don't waste your fucking breath cause this will be your last
you have to fucking prove that you are such a man
poisoned blood, brain convulsions, I'm killing you from within!

[fuck you!!!]

insecurity fueled power trip
feeble minded social domination
feel yourself self-destruct




drowning in your own blood
fuck you! die!
