Although Beyond Decay's opinions aren't universal and vary throughout many of their songs, concerns of homophobia in society, racism, the capitalist system, hidden corporate agenda’s, mass media, mass consumption, change, and ignorance, are some of the topics their music touches on. Lyrics differ from politically charged songs to some positive messages found in the reggae/dub songs such as, "Until the day the world unites, we will never rest."
Beyond Decay has proven time and time again, that they are a force to be reckoned with in the ska-punk scene. The release of their first EP “Buds Not Bombs” had a great success, selling the first 100 copies at their CD Release show. With a full length on the horizon, Beyond Decay shows no signs of slowing down. So keep yer eyes and yer ears open, because Beyond Decay is currently busy recording their full length album, releasing it in September/August 2007 and a split with Corporation due out July 6th.
Sick Of It All
Beyond Decay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the body it's sickness,
I'll tell you the difference you're misogynistic,
you're making me sick,
with all of your shit,
wasting my time, you're such a prick
Beat up the town with your stupid fists,
I got more brain in my thumbs than you got in yer head.
Went to the show just to punch out a girl,
maybe pick on a black cause your a racist ass,
sing along to your unity song,
but your just the type that denies that your wrong,
infecting the scene like a fucking snake bite,
walk away from your team cause you're not worth the fight,
reppin you're punk my opinion you stunk
you're just a jock and it ain't a shock
Now we're sick of it all, CE ended this fall,
there's no fun anymore kids knocked on the floor,
I'm so sick of this you're a worthless piece of shit,
No we don't want more
I'm itching and scratching,
the body it's sickness,
I'll tell you the difference you're misogynistic,
you're making me sick,
with all of your shit,
wasting my time, you're such a prick
rolling in your Escalade,
destroying what we got,
if we get knocked down,
then ya get the fuck up,
and thats how ya rise to the top,
every single day we got something to prove,
but most of us are walking around with nothing to lose.
Desensitize your body and mind,
beat on a kid till he's bloody and cries,
makes you feel like a man,
it makes you feel all your pride
The lyrics of Beyond Decay's "Sick Of It All" express a sense of frustration towards individuals who exhibit misogynistic, racist, and violent behavior within the punk scene. The song starts with the singer feeling physically ill due to the toxic behavior they are witnessing. They call out those who are wasting their time with their absurdity and using their fists to instigate violence. The singer emphasizes their superiority by comparing their level of intelligence to the person's brain in their thumbs.
The second verse describes how individuals who claim to support unity, but their actions exhibit discrimination and prejudice. The singer calls out the toxicity, referring to those actions as a venomous snake bite that infects the scene. The song blames and shames those individuals whose actions disappoint the community that strives for unity and acceptance. The lyrics also mention how the community becomes the victim of their violent acts, which leads to the realization that they are not worth fighting for. The song concludes with the assertion that the community has had enough of the violence, declaring that they don't want more of it.
