Skinned Alive
Crucifix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
on any given day of the year
and pretend that what we have is peace
but we live our
lives in constant fear
of a hellish inferno, a mass crematorium, ashes to ashes, blown away by the wind
there's no escape
to or from
make haste or we're surely doomed
to see our planet's end
in a hellish inferno,
a mass crematorium, ashes to ashes , blown away by the winds
The lyrics of Crucifix's song Skinned Alive are a powerful commentary on the constant fear and anxiety that accompanies living in a world armed with nuclear weapons. The first two lines of the song paint a picture of peaceful city streets, but the underlying message is clear: this peace is fragile and illusory. The fear of nuclear war looms over everything and everyone, like a specter waiting to strike.
The lyrics then turn to the inevitability of destruction if nuclear war were to break out. The description of a "hellish inferno" and "mass crematorium" paints a picture of the unimaginable horror that would be unleashed upon the planet in the wake of a nuclear exchange. The use of the phrase "ashes to ashes" reinforces the sense of finality and loss.
The lyrics end with a call to action, urging the listener to "make haste" before it's too late. This is a song that is both a warning and a plea for action, urging people to take steps to prevent a nuclear catastrophe before it's too late.
