Crushead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
here comes the crushead set with the big noise attack
we`re gonna shout out loud what we`re talking about
here comes the beat right in the dancing crowd
so people in the house we want you to spread
under gods command we`re gonna raise the dead
now open your ears all you maniacs
get on your feet and listen to the track
mr. devil leave your base
here comes the backlash in the middle of your face
mr devil live your base it`s god to whom we give the praise
we diss you we beat you we piss on your feet
get away with your temptation and with your greed
mr. devil....
The lyrics to Crushead's song "Insane" speak to a sense of rebellion against the devil and his supposed temptations. The band declares their intention to shout out loud and be heard, with a big noise attack that will rally the dancing crowd. They claim that they will raise the dead under God's command, calling on all the maniacs in the house to listen to their track. In this sense, the song can be seen as a call to action for listeners to leave behind the devil's ways and join in the pursuit of a higher power.
The lyrics use bold imagery to depict the confrontation between the band and the devil. Mr. Devil is called out directly, told to leave his base and face the backlash that is coming. The band claims that it is God to whom they give their praise, and that they will beat and piss on the devil's feet in order to get away from his temptation and greed. In this way, the song seems to be a cathartic release for those who feel oppressed by temptation and the devil's influence, calling on listeners to join together in a collective rebellion against this perceived enemy.

on In My Fathers Hand
And there is a mistake in the translation. The first verse should be written (live -> life):
"In my Father’s hand I am called to live. That’s the savest hand That life can give. You will take our hearts, All of them renew, And bring the broken parts In peace with you."

No, the English translation is NOT made by Everett Adams. He wrote an other song with similar title!
