Refuse
Android Lust Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have been broken, polluted, destroyed
Ripped apart and crushed by a thousand lies

You may have wanted to see the changes
As the rage erupts and bleeds out of my eyes

The closer I come to end this frustration
My will dissolves I'm left to lick my wounds





Did you ever realize my strength that you devoured
Will rot your heart from inside out

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Refuse" by Android Lust portray the feelings of someone who has been through a lot of pain and suffering, caused by the lies, pollution, and destruction they have experienced. The person talks about being ripped apart and crushed by the myriad of lies they have encountered. The lyrics then shift to a more violent and angry tone, as the person expresses their frustration and rage, which bleeds from their eyes. The closer they come to ending their frustration, the more their will dissolves, leaving them to lick their wounds. In the end, the person seems to warn their abuser that the strength they have consumed will ultimately rot their heart from the inside out.


The theme of the lyrics is a very common one, that of abuse and mistreatment, and how it can slowly break down a person's will and spirit. The song's slow, brooding pace and dark, atmospheric sound help to convey the sense of pain and resignation that the singer feels. The lyrics are a powerful examination of how abuse can have a profound effect on a person, both physically and emotionally, and how it can slowly erode their sense of self-worth and confidence.

I feel like the whole “I’m in hell” bit really retracts from this otherwise perfect song >_> maybe it’s just me tho..
