Spawn
Beborn Beton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've seen everything in this life
And I refuse to give in
Does anybody have some time left to be nice
To someone he doesn't know, but
Everybody takes what everybody needs
Everybody's peaking at some other's seeds
And hearts filled with envy
Unless you sign the receipt
Sometimes it seems
I've seen everything in this life
But then I'm glad to be wrong
When something happens and suddenly I feel surprised
Not knowing what's to be done, 'cause
Everybody's being lavish and at ease and
Everybody suffers from mental disease
If hope hasn't vanished there's something that we can believe in
Until we get the meaning
Are we coming to the point of no return
Are we still being fearless taking pride
In the moment the curtain is drawn
We're giving the stuff to the spawn
The show must go on

The singer reflects on how they have experienced everything life has to offer, yet still holds onto a refusal to give in. They question if anyone has time to be kind to someone they don't know, as people tend to take and peak at what others have while being envious and unwilling to relieve others of their burdens without receiving something in return.
The singer acknowledges their own mental state, realizing that everyone suffers from their own form of mental disease while attempting to maintain an air of lavishness and ease. It is only when something unexpected happens that they feel alive and surprised. The lyrics question whether we, as a society, are approaching the point of no return and whether we are still fearless enough to take pride in our actions. The final lines state that even when our time is up, we continue to give to the next generation or "spawn" and the show must go on.
Overall, the lyrics to "Spawn" are introspective and question humanity's ability to be kind and empathetic towards one another. It highlights the superficial natures and envious tendencies present in society and encourages listeners to question their own actions and values.
