U-166
Centhron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sky in blue above
The ruffling waves beneath
No god unto this voyage
No fucking holy ghost
There is a cross inside
Inner pain born by hate
Burn united states
Fire - in the west
Hail the bloodfeast
Away, far away it slips
U-166
Fire
Cry for the german knights
Into an idiotic system
Watch the thousand graves
Beware the past, remember the dead
The lyrics of Centhron's song U-166 convey a deep sense of loss and grief. The opening line, "Where is my father gone?" portrays the emptiness and confusion of a child who has lost his father. The following lines describe the vast expanse of the sea and the sky, which serve to highlight the sense of isolation and despair. The lyrics then turn to the absence of any divine presence on the voyage and the resulting hopelessness of the situation. The use of the word "fucking" is particularly effective in conveying the anger and frustration of the singer.
The second verse of the lyrics shifts to a more violent and disturbing imagery. The cross, which is usually a symbol of hope and redemption, becomes a meathook in the flesh, a symbol of pain and suffering. The pain is born out of hate, and the lyrics seem to be alluding to the destructive nature of war, specifically the Second World War. The lyrics refer to the United States, which suggests that the song may be narrating a German soldier's experience of the war. The chorus of the song references fire and blood, which are often associated with destruction and death. The final verse ends with a call to remember the dead, which may be interpreted as a call to acknowledge the human cost of war and to strive for peace.
