Katerpillar
Centurion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come out side from the dark
We are waiting for your backs in the sun
You will be buried alive except your heads
That will come to a bad end

Fine painted faces, fancy clothes and muscles of clay
Rolling steel will turn red by your blood
You're an insult to the primal strength
Effeminate nonsense crushed the breach of the power law

You were bound to get killed
Degenerated shame against the course of life

Hey! Dead meat, we're cheering on
Ignition of infernal engine
The roar will make bleed your trembling ears




Until the extinction we'll kill, kill and kill
Mistakes of shit!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Katerpillar" by Centurion depict a brutal scenario of punishment and revenge, targeting individual(s) who are depicted as a disgrace to the natural order and power hierarchy. The song urges these individuals to come out from the dark and confront their fate, which is to be 'buried alive except for their heads'. The imagery here is already bleak, conveying the terrifying message of what is yet to come to these individuals. The second verse further paints this picture vividly, describing 'fine painted faces, fancy clothes and muscles of clay', scathing the individual(s) as 'effeminate nonsense'. Their ostentatious display of wealth and beauty is a stark contrast to the primal strength being celebrated in the song. The verse portrays the use of violence to assert order and suppress weakness.


The following lines mockingly proclaim the individual(s) as "dead meat" while igniting the "infernal engine" for their slaughter. The chorus is a clear warning of the pain and defeat that awaits them until their complete "extinction". The final words carry a tinge of disdain and condemnation, calling them "mistakes of shit". Overall, the song swells with the spirit of dominance, loathing the weak and glorifying the powerful, drawing from the metal sub-genre aesthetic of aggression and shock value.

Good to see that the driver is taken into account with the load restraint system!

Incredible design, living here in Zambia and seeing over sized trucks carrying these huge tyres for the mining industry in North western Zambia, not only would it eliminate the use of wide load escorts which cost an arm and a leg but also the down time of waiting for the permits. Remember TIA, This is Africa.
