Provoked Behaviour
Agathocles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because when I'll be gone, it'll all be too late,
The hatred in me is the system you made
The reason I'm here is to make you all taste
GONE
PAIN
ANGUISH
AGONY
Still there's not less hatred in me
Captured in life, can not be free
Solution in hatred, solution in grief,
That's why I want the mass to bleed.
The lyrics of Agathocles's song "Provoked Behaviour" are angsty, bitter, and full of rage. The singer is someone who has been pushed to the edge and is now consumed by hatred towards an unidentified group of people or system. The first line of the song, "There's no reason to hide my hate," sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics, indicating that the singer is not going to hold back their feelings any longer. The repetition of the phrase "Gone, pain, anguish, agony, torture" emphasizes the intensity of the singer's emotions and suggests that they have suffered greatly at the hands of the system they are railing against.
The second verse reveals that the singer feels trapped and unable to escape their circumstances, leading to feelings of hopelessness and despair. However, instead of turning inward and succumbing to their emotions, the singer turns their pain into a rallying cry for revenge. "Solution in hatred, solution in grief, that's why I want the mass to bleed" shows that the singer doesn't just want to hurt the individuals responsible for their pain, but wants to incite a violent uprising against them.
Overall, the song is a scathing critique of an oppressive system and the people who uphold it. It demonstrates the power of anger and the ways in which it can motivate people to act, for better or for worse.
