Agathocles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't you still get it, you're always on the run,
Once you told me, you'll never get burnt,
But I've bought some new matches, you stupid cunt
The lyrics of Agathocles's song "Hatronomous" reflect a sense of rebellion and defiance towards established authority. The singer seems to be addressing someone who has placed their trust in a perceived sense of security, but as the opening line indicates, that sense has been lost. The singer questions this person's ability to understand why they must constantly move and run, implying that they are blind to the real danger that surrounds them.
Furthermore, the singer recalls a previous reassurance given by the listener that they would never get hurt. However, the singer has acquired something new - matches - that suggest a readiness to ignite a fire or create chaos. The final insult of calling the listener a "stupid cunt" is a further expression of disdain for someone who is unable or unwilling to recognize the true nature of their situation.
Overall, the lyrics of "Hatronomous" convey a sense of frustration and disillusionment with those who blindly trust in the status quo and refuse to acknowledge the underlying forces that threaten their safety.
Line by Line Meaning
What are gonna do, when your security has gone?
When your feeling of safety and protection is lost, what action do you plan to take?
Don't you still get it, you're always on the run,
Haven't you realized yet that you are constantly trying to escape consequences?
Once you told me, you'll never get burnt,
You once claimed that you would never experience negative consequences for your actions,
But I've bought some new matches, you stupid cunt
However, I have acquired the means to cause you harm, insulting your intelligence in the process.
