Balls to the Wall
Accept Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Die by torture and pain
Too many people do not see
They're killing themselves, going insane
Too many people do not know
Bondage is over the human race
They believe slaves always lose
Watch the damned (God bless ya)
They're gonna break their chains (Hey)
No, you can't stop them (God bless ya)
They're coming to get you
And then you'll get your
Balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall
You'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall, balls to the wall
You may screw their brains
You may sacrifice them, too
You may mortify their flesh
You may rape them all
One day the tortured stand up
And revolt against the evil
They make you drink your blood
And tear yourself to pieces
You better watch the damned (God bless ya)
They're gonna break their chains (Hey)
No, you can't stop them (God bless ya)
They're coming to get you
And then you'll get your
Balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall
You'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall, balls to the wall
Come on man, let's stand up all over the world
Let's plug a bomb in everyone's arse
If they don't keep us alive, we're gonna fight for the right
Build a wall with the bodies of the dead, and you're saved
Make the world scared, come on, show me the sign of victory
Sign of victory, sign of victory
You better watch the damned (God bless ya)
They're gonna break their chains (Hey)
No, you can't stop them (God bless ya)
They're coming to get you
And then you'll get your
Balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall
The lyrics to Accept's song "Balls to the Wall" criticize the concept of slavery and bondage that exist in the world. The song suggests that too many people are unaware of the pain and suffering caused by slavery and that they are responsible for their self-destruction. Accept believes that the fear of losing keeps people from standing up against oppression. The idea behind the song's title is to encourage a person to go all-out in their struggle for freedom, even if it means sacrificing everything they have, even their lives.
The verses of the song describe the enslavement of the human race and how those who are oppressed will eventually revolt against their captors. The lyrics suggest that there will be lots of bloodshed and violence, but the end result will be liberation. The chorus of the song, "Balls to the wall," describes the total commitment and sacrifice required to achieve this freedom. The song's final lines urge people to "stand up all over the world" and fight for their right to live a free life.

This is arguably one of the most testosterone driven songs that has ever been performed by mankind. I mean look at all those headbanging guitarists and a singer who sounds like he gargles with sandpaper. Pure legend. Always been a favorite of mine for many years!
