All Wrong
Antidote Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Communist capitalist you're all on the same list
Metal techno it's all the fucking same show
Punkrock disco there's one thing you've got to know
You're all wrong you just care for yourself
In the song "All Wrong" by Antidote, the lyrics explore the ways in which different political views, music genres, and lifestyles can all overlap in their self-centeredness. The lyrics highlight the irony of opposing forces, such as anarchism and fascism, or communism and capitalism, ultimately being driven by the same self-serving motivations. Similarly, the song critiques the commonality between seemingly distinct music genres like metal and techno or punk rock and disco, suggesting that they exist within the same larger cultural realm that is focused on individual gratification.
The refrain "you're all wrong, you just care for yourself" serves as a unifying message throughout the song, emphasizing the underlying selfishness behind all of these seeming differences. In a broader sense, the song could be interpreted as a commentary on the pervasive individualism of contemporary society, where people are encouraged to pursue their own interests and ambitions rather than thinking holistically about the collective good.
Line by Line Meaning
Anarchist fascist why the fuck do you exist
You who preach total freedom and you who advocate oppressive laws, why do you even exist when your ideals contradict each other?
Communist capitalist you're all on the same list
You who espouse the public ownership of resources and you who endorse private ownership, both of you are just two sides of the same coin.
Metal techno it's all the fucking same show
You who perform metal and you who play techno, there is no discernible difference between your performances, it's all just a monotonous spectacle.
Punkrock disco there's one thing you've got to know
Regardless of whether you're into punkrock or disco, there is one thing you all must understand.
You're all wrong you just care for yourself
You are all incorrect in your views and actions, for you are only concerned with your own interests and not the collective good.
