Salvation
Biohazard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To turn my anger into love and keep my feet planted on the ground.
To undo stigmas societies branded, misconceptions about being a man.
To be grateful, take nothing for granted, to live the truth as best I can.
I seek the truth whatever that may be,
I seek the answers to questions, please God help me.
To treat people just like my brother, for this I pray with all my might.
To learn to let go of all my fears and learn to embrace all of my tears,
To search for faith and humility, to walk the path which sets me free.
Salvation, from society, damnation, have mercy on me.
So many lies I told, so many lives I've sold.
So far away from who I am I never understand.
So many things I regret, so many things that I let
Take me away from myself, too late to take it back.
So many dreams I had, so many lives I've lived
So many friends I said goodbye forever
So many times I wish, so many times I dream,
Do it again, I swear I'd never.
In my quest to uncover the truth the deepest wounds get left behind
As I seek serenity from the war, from the war inside my mind.
The lyrics of Biohazard's song "Salvation" express the yearning for inner peace and freedom from society's expectations and constraints. The singer longs to rise above materialism and anger, to see people indiscriminately, treat them as brothers, and let go of his fears and regrets. He seeks the truth and answers to his questions, hoping that God will help him. However, he also acknowledges the burden of his past lies, betrayals, and lost opportunities, and how they have shaped his identity and caused him pain.
The song's message resonates with many people who struggle with finding their true selves and purpose, and how to reconcile them with the values and norms of the world around them. It also reflects Biohazard's signature fusion of hardcore punk, metal, and hip hop, with its energetic and aggressive riffs, rap-style verses, and shout-along choruses. The band's socially conscious and politically charged lyrics often address issues of personal responsibility, social justice, and solidarity, as well as their own experiences of marginalization and resistance.
Overall, "Salvation" is a passionate and reflective song that urges listeners to seek redemption from their past mistakes and present struggles, and to strive for a more authentic and compassionate existence. It speaks to the universal human desire for meaning, connection, and freedom, and how these aspirations can inspire both individual and collective transformation.
