THE ANTHEM
Brutal Fight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That strips away and decays all our minds
It destroys who men are and rips away, corrodes who women are, a beautiful creation
This sickness, it's tearing us apart
So turn away, it dies tonight
This sickness, it dies tonight
We'll throw it away
With this last there will be wrath

The lyrics resonate deeply within the listener, urging them to turn away and vow to end this sickness. The artists stress that if not condemned, the illness will continue to tear us apart. In the end, they talk about throwing it away and freeing ourselves from this last beget of toxicity. The final line, "with this last, there will be wrath," is a call to arms— a sign of hope that fills their audience with tenacity, ready to fight against the sickness.
The lyrics of "The Anthem" not only talk about the degradation of human beings but also about the fundamental shift in society's role. The sad reality is that people that were meant to protect and love each other are now defending the sick and twisted ideals that have led to our decay.
