What Mankind Creates
Agathocles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
technology is every problems'solution,
well, that's what they say, but don't fucking believe them,
'cause these are just lies, of this sick fucked up system,
Two hundred years of industrialisation,
have fucked up this Earth real badly,
they say technology creates new jobs, for them capitalist bastards,
but what about creating a decent job for the others ?
The lyrics of Agathocles's song "What Mankind Creates" are a commentary on the destructive nature of humanity's progress and technological advancements. The song argues that the very tools and creations that we believe will solve our problems are ultimately leading to our downfall. The first line "What mankind creates will be mankind's destruction" warns the listener of the dangerous path that humanity is on. The second line, "technology is every problem's solution" is a nod to the idea that we believe technology can solve all of our problems. However, the song quickly dismisses this notion, stating "that's what they say, but don't fucking believe them, 'cause these are just lies, of this sick fucked up system". The singer of the song sees through the facade of progress and recognizes the negative impact it's having on our planet.
The song then delves into the effects of industrialisation on Earth, stating that "two hundred years of industrialisation have fucked up this Earth real badly". The singer acknowledges that while technology may create new jobs, it's only benefiting "the capitalist bastards" and not providing decent jobs for others. Overall, "What Mankind Creates" is a warning against blindly accepting progress and the belief that technology can solve all our problems. It's a call to see past the lies and examine the true consequences of our actions.

It's a Bengal tiger getting it's throat slit with a razor sharp dagger. The album is mostly about animal cruelty and how much they hate it.
