Requiem
Atrocity Solution Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
we gaze into the eyes of hypnotists
and these politics hold the pocket watch
that is swinging in front of our heads
as they tippy toe across the borderline
their laws become obsolete
And the world as we know it just falls apart
and its right in front of our feet
When the bombs fall like rain
and the economy dies in vain
the requiem will never chime
for the world wide genocide
a solution must be born
for the atrocity we ignore
and the world will finally see
what atrocity solution means
The weep of the requiem will turn
the tear of the children will not burn
the flags of our fathers will be lost
when all is lost, you better find hope for us
Victorious lies
these champs have a home inside D.C.
And the massacres that they puppeteer
have no hymn or melody
Its a race to the top my friend
and theyre always waiting at the end
and their lies and cheats and tricks and deeds
will not cease till theyre fucking dead
Atrocity Solution’s song “Requiem” is a call for action to deal with the injustices and atrocities that are committed by those in power. The song paints a picture of hypnotists, politicians, and champions who use lies and manipulation to maintain their status and control over the masses. The lyrics portray a world that is falling apart, with bombs raining down like rain and economies dying in vain. The requiem mentioned in the song will never chime for the worldwide genocide occurring because the world is ignoring it. Atrocity Solution calls for a solution to be born to deal with the atrocities being committed, and for the world to finally see what Atrocity Solution means, ultimately indicating that the solution should lead to a better world.
The lyrics are critical of the politicians who are always waiting at the top and waiting to manipulate others with their lies and cheats. They are responsible for the massacres and puppeteering that is taking place within the system, with no hymn or melody, and they will continue with their dishonest ways until they are dead. The final lines of the song signify hope, stating that even though the world may be falling apart, the tear of the children will not burn, and the flags of our fathers may be lost, but hope should always be found for a better future.

Triumphant fear
A feeling of fear and anxiety that is overpowering but also exhilarating
we gaze into the eyes of hypnotists
We are transfixed and mesmerized by the words and actions of those in power
and these politics hold the pocket watch
The manipulative politicians control everything, including time itself
that is swinging in front of our heads
They dangle the promise of progress in front of us, but it is always just out of reach
as they tippy toe across the borderline
The politicians tiptoe around the sensitive and controversial issues in society
their laws become obsolete
The laws they create are unable to address or solve the real issues at hand
And the world as we know it just falls apart
The fabric of society is unraveling and descending into chaos
and its right in front of our feet
We are witnessing the destruction and collapse of society firsthand
When the bombs fall like rain
In times of war and conflict, destruction is widespread and relentless
and the economy dies in vain
Economic systems fail and crumble, leaving many people with nothing
the requiem will never chime
There will be no solemn music or ceremony to commemorate the loss of life and society
for the world wide genocide
The mass killing and destruction of entire populations and societies will go unacknowledged
a solution must be born
A new and effective solution must be found to address the destructive issues facing society
for the atrocity we ignore
The atrocities committed by those in power must be acknowledged and confronted
and the world will finally see
Once a solution is found, everyone will be able to see the true power of this new approach
what atrocity solution means
People will come to understand the meaning and importance of taking action against atrocities
The weep of the requiem will turn

the flags of our fathers will be lost
The symbols and ideals of past generations will fade away and be forgotten
when all is lost, you better find hope for us
In the face of overwhelming despair and destruction, we must cling to and find hope wherever we can
Victorious lies
Lies and deceit wielded by those in power are often successful and bring them victory
these champs have a home inside D.C.
Those in power are based in Washington D.C., the seat of American government
And the massacres that they puppeteer
The politicians are responsible for orchestrating violent and destructive actions
have no hymn or melody
There is no praise or glorification of these actions; they are senseless and wrong
Its a race to the top my friend
Those in power are constantly competing to achieve even greater levels of influence and control
and theyre always waiting at the end
Their goal is to be the ultimate winner and hold all the power in society
and their lies and cheats and tricks and deeds
Their tactics and actions are all based on lies, deception, and deceit
will not cease till theyre fucking dead
They will not stop until they are defeated or killed, refusing to give up their power willingly
