PRIDE
Biohazard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Self doubt coming out from inside out
Knock you down, across town all around the underground
Shooting and disputing you're always persecuting
With your attitude and fucked up views tattooed, rude and crude
Denying, glorifying your way of life while crucifying
Close your eyes for the ride while you glorify your false pride
In any case you're blue in the face 'cause you lost your place in the human race
I used to doubt myself because I lived without
What I needed inside
My pride, comes from inside
Nothing to hide enough tears cried
My pride won't be denied
Moan and groan and chew the bone about the zone you call your own
Grow your own backbone hold your own and stand alone
Why pretend and be content with all the hate you hold innate
Pull your weight, it ain't too late to recreate your inner state
Discontent with time ill spent time has come and time has went
Now you vent while you torment why resent ? misrepresent
The scene between the lean and mean serene, extreme, the American dream
Live alive revive and thrive on life deprived as I survive
I'm fuckin' pissed off I used to be so angry
I'd disagree with anything that went against inside me
But things have changed I've rearranged in exchange for all the pain
I kept inside and tried to hide denied and lied, but kept my pride
By my side in good supply all the while, hostile
And senile, I never smiled at anyone but now I'm done
A battle won for number one so look and see and you'll agree
I live life free, I now know me I am a man who knows he can
I know I can, I take my stand
Biohazard's song Pride talks about self-doubt and the damage that it can cause. The person in the song appears to be someone who has been knocked down repeatedly and is always being persecuted. This is because they have a bad attitude and messed up views which they like to glorify. They have a false sense of pride which they use to deny their shortcomings and judge others harshly. The singer of the song is telling that person, in no uncertain terms, that they have lost their place in the human race because of their behavior. The singer also talks about their own journey towards self-acceptance and how they have had to overcome their own self-doubt.
The lyrics of the song are very powerful and convey an important message about the dangers of pride and self-doubt. It is easy to get stuck in negative patterns of thinking about ourselves, but this song encourages people to break free of those patterns and embrace their true selves. The lyrics also have a strong anti-bullying message, as they highlight the pain that can be caused by persecuting others because of their differences.
Line by Line Meaning
You don't care about
You show no regard for
Self doubt coming out from inside out
Doubts from within started seeping out
Knock you down, across town all around the underground
You feel beaten no matter where you go
Shooting and disputing you're always persecuting
You tend to conflict and criticize others
With your attitude and fucked up views tattooed, rude and crude
Your views and attitude, vulgar and offensive, are embedded in you
Denying, glorifying your way of life while crucifying
You reject and criticize other lifestyles while celebrating your own
Close your eyes for the ride while you glorify your false pride
You blind yourself to reality and promote your insecure pride
In any case you're blue in the face 'cause you lost your place in the human race
You exhausted yourself since you no longer belong to society
That pushed you to do what you do so fuck you and your point of view
Your behavior is a result of your alienation, but your view is irrelevant
I used to doubt myself because I lived without
I had insecurities because I was incomplete
What I needed inside
What I needed to feel whole
My pride, comes from inside
My pride is self-generated
Nothing to hide enough tears cried
I have left nothing hidden, having shed enough tears
My pride won't be denied
My pride is resilient
Moan and groan and chew the bone about the zone you call your own
You whine and complain about your perceived safe space
Grow your own backbone hold your own and stand alone
Develop courage and hold your ground, stand alone
Why pretend and be content with all the hate you hold innate
Why pretend to be happy with the hatred that comes from within?
Pull your weight, it ain't too late to recreate your inner state
Contribute actively, change your inner state while you still can
Discontent with time ill spent time has come and time has went
With time wasted, you are unhappy as time passes
Now you vent while you torment why resent ? misrepresent
Now you express your pain and harm others, why harbor resentment?
The scene between the lean and mean serene, extreme, the American dream
The setting between those who have little and are serious, those who are extreme, and the American ideal
Live alive revive and thrive on life deprived as I survive
Live, recover, and prosper despite a difficult life as I do
I'm fuckin' pissed off I used to be so angry
I am greatly annoyed, but I used to be enraged
I'd disagree with anything that went against inside me
I would contradict anything that went against my views
But things have changed I've rearranged in exchange for all the pain
However, I adapted; I rearranged myself, and this gained me much pain.
I kept inside and tried to hide denied and lied, but kept my pride
I contained myself and concealed, refused, and deceived, but held onto my pride
By my side in good supply all the while, hostile
My pride stayed with me steadily, though it manifested as hostility
And senile, I never smiled at anyone but now I'm done
I used to never smile at anyone, being bitter, but now I am finished with that
A battle won for number one so look and see and you'll agree
A victory obtained for my own interest, if you observe, you will concur
I live life free, I now know me I am a man who knows he can
I live freely and am now aware of my identity; I am a confident individual
I know I can, I take my stand
I am aware of my capacity, and I stand firmly
