1) An Industrial metal band from the US. BILE has been pumping the dance floors of Hell since 1992. Considered pioneering forerunners of the new crop of industrial-metal hybrid acts that appeared in the late '90's and 2000's, BILE has always maintained their own style. Based in New York, the band has a floating line-up, but most of the musical duties are handled by former Napalm vocalist/guitarist Krztoff (Chris Liggio). Originally featuring nine members on the first two albums and gaining a large amount of publicity from the inclusion of 'I Reject' on the platinum-selling Mortal Kombat movie soundtrack, Bile slimmed down in the years prior to 1999's Sex Reflex, eventually becoming a three-piece. This album features their most popular song to date, "In League", famously featured in Dee Snider's film, Strangeland. When performing live, Bile currently consists of Krztoff (vocals, bass), former-Angeldust guitarist Dave Sussman and drummer John DeSalvo "Serv-O" (KMFDM, 16Volt, Chemlab). Krztoff is also currently an active member of Pigface and Black From the Dead (with Charles Levi of My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult) and in 2001 performed guest appearances on both Sepultura's Nation and Ill Niño's Revolution Revolución. Former members include founding-bassist R.H. Bear (E-X-E), Slave (Black Ops Conspiracy), Omen (Ooze), Brett Pirozzi (Kreep), Doug Bohn (Suffocation, Lockdown), Eric Roi (Lockdown), Jeff Lombardi (Napalm, Lockdown) and Tom Zagorski (Eye Kandy, Godhead).
2) A goregrind band from the Netherlands, formed in 1998. It has now changed its name to Skullhog. Under the name Bile, it has released an EP and a full-length, both of which are highly acclaimed.
3) A black metal band from Germany. They have released one album in 2004, Vernichtungsschlag.
4) Bile is a political punk band out of Paris, France playing mid-tempo rock music. https://cestbile.bandcamp.com/releases
My Generation
Bile Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause they think we get around
Things I do look awful c-c-c-cold
I know I'll die before I get old
This is my generation...
It's my generation...
And don't try to dig what we all say
I'm not not not trying to cause a big sensation
Talkin' 'bout my g-g-g-generation
This is my generation...
It's my generation...
Hope I die before I get...
I know I'll die before I get old
The song "My Generation" by Bile is a defiant anthem that challenges the societal norms and expectations placed upon the youth. The lyrics express the frustration felt by younger generations who are judged and scrutinized by older generations who fail to understand them. The singer of the song is asking why they are being put down, as they are simply living their lives and doing what they want. They are unapologetic for their actions, seen in the line "Things I do look awful c-c-c-cold" which suggests that they are aware of how their actions may be perceived but do not care. Additionally, the line "I know I'll die before I get old" expresses a desire to live life to the fullest and not conform to the expectations of aging and settling down.
The chorus, "This is my generation, it's my generation" is a rallying cry for the youth, declaring that they are a powerful and unique group that cannot be silenced or ignored. The repetition of "g-g-g-generation" in the second verse emphasizes this point and adds a playful, rebellious tone to the song.
Overall, "My Generation" is a timeless anthem that still resonates with younger generations today. Its message of standing up for oneself and rejecting societal norms is applicable to any generation facing their own unique challenges.
Line by Line Meaning
People try to put us down
Some individuals are trying to belittle us
'Cause they think we get around
They suspect that we are promiscuous
Things I do look awful c-c-c-cold
My actions may appear aloof and detached
I know I'll die before I get old
I'm sure I won't live long enough to become senile
This is my generation...
This era belongs to me and my peers
It's my generation...
I and my fellow youth are the ones ruling this time
Why don't you all fade away?
Why don't you disappear and leave us alone?
And don't try to dig what we all say
And don't bother trying to understand or appreciate our message
I'm not not not trying to cause a big sensation
I'm not purposely trying to create a major uproar
Talkin' 'bout my g-g-g-generation
I'm discussing the ideals and practices of my specific age group
Hope I die before I get...
I'd rather pass away before reaching a very old age
I know I'll die before I get old
Again, I'm sure I won't live long enough to be considered elderly
