DEVOUR
BatAAr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nature adjusts for no one
Dulcet tones
Stricken lament
The immaterial urge
Clawing at your conscience
Wanna perish with the rest?
Give me something to feel a shit about
(Eat the pain)
Drama lines all the fine things in life
To feel is to fade away
(Eat the pain)
So go on,
We have nothing to lose but our face
Cross the line to insanity
The will becomes the need
Your truth, dressed in vanity
Taste the hand that feeds
Now you've given us part of your soul
Pay the price, pay the price
I'm delivered, now what is my role?
We pay the price, pay the price
This is how you made us fuking monsters
Stalked by the beast of burden
Nature adjusts for no one
The turn of phrase, insidious
Making my stomach turn
(Eat the pain)
Drenched in hypocrisy
Let the ones who abide be the first to burn!
No lives matter
No lives matter
No lives matter
No lives matter
Fear, a tactic that you favor
A pointless clash
Your throne is crumbling, is crumbling
Cross the line to insanity
The will becomes the need
Your truth, dressed in vanity
Taste the hand that feeds
Now you've given us part of your soul
Pay the price, pay the price
I'm delivered, now what is my role?
We pay the price, pay the price
Stalked by the beast of burden
Nature adjusts for no one
This is how you made us fuking monsters
The lyrics of BatAAr's song DEVOUR sheds light on the human condition and how nature and the world around us change without regard for our personal struggles. 'Stalked by the beast of burden' refers to the difficulties and hardships faced by the human race throughout its history. The phrase 'Nature adjusts for no one' reiterates the idea that we must sometimes navigate a world that doesn't take into account our personal struggles or desires. The singer then goes on to describe the human struggle for freedom and the quest for control over one's life. The chorus emphasizes the need for pain and emotions to feel alive, even if it comes at the cost of fading away.
The second half of the song emphasizes the cost of power and control over others. The phrase 'Cross the line to insanity, the will becomes the need' describes the grip that power has over individuals once they cross the line. The phrase 'Taste the hand that feeds' refers to the consequences of gaining power and the potential backlash that can come from those affected. The final section of the song's lyrics include the line 'This is how you made us fuking monsters,' which summarizes the song's focus on the human struggle for control and the consequences of that quest.
