My Vaccine
Battlecross Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't be afraid of the truth
The only way we will survive
Is to not ever let these fools blind our eyes
With their false sense of hope
Don't turn your back or let down your guard
You'll never see tomorrow
You hide your face
I don't wear a mask of lies to hide who I am
There's only devils out there
I see cowards everywhere
Devils out there
One day we'll find the answers
One day we'll know the truth
Till then I have this vaccine because there is no cure
Don't be afraid to live your life while alive
Our fate comes from within
Create your own immunity
I will take all my hate, my disdain for this world
Snap it's neck, leave it twisted and curled
This is my vaccine
There is no cure from this world of ignorance
Gutted of substance and wrought of indifference
I will not stand for this
This is my vaccine
There is no cure and there will never be
This is my vaccine
The song "My Vaccine" by Battlecross is a call to arms against the ignorance and falsehoods promoted by the outside world. The lyrics urge the listener to create their own immunity against the evils of society and to not be blinded by false hope. The singer speaks of his personal vaccine, a metaphor for his resilience against the world's negativity. He urges others not to be afraid of the truth and to never let themselves be blinded by the whims of others. The song emphasizes the need to hold onto one's own identity in the face of adversity and the importance of not allowing oneself to become a coward.
The lyrics take a strong stance against the world, painting it as a place ruled by devils and populated mostly by cowards. The singer instead champions resilience and urges the listener to find their own answers and truth. The song is a powerful message, empowering the listener to take control of their life and not be afraid of what lies ahead.

I'm not exactly a fan, but I've never seen the point in trashing on other metal bands just because they don't play your style. It's very soft to do that, in my opinion.

It's really simple, if you like it cool, if you don't, move on to something that you do like. I'm an old school metal head from the golden age of metal and thrash. Battlecross, for me, kicks major ass. I've seen these guys twice in a small shitty club at under promoted shows playing to small crowds like they were on the biggest stage in the world, leaving everything on that stage. One of these times was after having an axle issue and barely making it to the show with a revved trailer. This wasn't a tour show, this was on the way out to California to start a tour with Death Angel a couple of years back. This is the hardest working band in metal. They have missed one show, one. You have to respect that, even if you don't care for their music, respect the fact that they live for metal and their fans and keep your bullshit to yourself.
