They also became known for Satanic imagery and numerous references to the vagrant lifestyle, such as crack-smoking, shoplifting, and squatting. They also, like many other bands in the punk scene, have violent anti-police sentiments in their songs. The band prides itself on its Atheist stance, often making sardonic references to Satan, for the sole purpose of being offensive.
Choking Victim broke up after the first day of recording for their one and only album, but the recordings from that one day were enough to make a solid album. After they broke up, Stza and Ezra Crack formed the band Leftöver Crack, and Skwert and Ezra formed INDK. Sascha has spent the last several years organically farming in upstate NY.
SWEET DREAMS
Choking Victim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Disease in your bloodstream,
genocide by chemical means,
its too late for apologies,
governments are always trying to kill someone.
now you will die, -toxic oil goverment lies!
government wants to use you,
the government chemists create a brew,
simply provided to kill you,
biological warfare is nothing new.
now, its too late. meet your death, toxic flames.
Disease in your bloodstream,
genocide by chemical means,
its too late for apologies,
governments always wanna kill someone.
The lyrics of Choking Victim's song, Sweet Dreams is a powerful societal commentary on the prevalence of chemical warfare and its lethal effects on individuals. The opening lines about disease in the bloodstream and genocide by chemical means point to the destructive impact of chemical warfare, which can have long-lasting consequences on human health. Despite the casualties and lethal aftermath of this warfare, the governments continue to use this deadly means and offer empty apologies for their actions.
The song's lyrics also comment on the corrupt and self-serving nature of governments, who have no qualms about using their citizens as pawns for their schemes. The government chemists who create toxic brews, which are then given to people with the intention of killing them, represent the fragility of life in a world where even the government is willing to put individuals at risk for their agendas. The song warns about the irreversible damage that such warfare can inflict, with its chorus lines, "now you will die - toxic oil government lies" and "now it's too late, meet your death - toxic flames."
Overall, this song highlights the urgent need for governments to prioritize the safety and well-being of their citizens instead of using them for their violent agendas. It calls for greater accountability and transparency in government actions and policies to ensure that people's lives are not put at risk for the sake of power and control.
