The Origin of Hate
Cypecore Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The disposition is brilliant
The people are wicked
The spirit of my heart is telling me
The truth

Slowly
It begins
Rising up

In me

I want to know
If it's real or just imagination
I want to learn
How to control it inside of my rotten flesh

Finally it's controlling me
And now it is destroying me
Searching for answers,
Searching for explanations

Can't do anything against it
I'll become someone who does not want to live

I want to know
If it's real or just imagination
I want to learn
How to control it inside of my rotten flesh

I have no comprehension
I have no pure conscience
I have no commiseration
No, I have nothing at all

And in the end it takes control of me

I want to know
If it's real or just imagination

I want to learn
How to control it inside of my rotten flesh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Cypecore's "The Origin of Hate" depict the struggle of an individual who feels conflicted within themselves. The first stanza sets the stage for a contradiction between a "brilliant disposition" and "wicked" people, while "the spirit of my heart" tells the singer the truth. The truth, in this case, seems to be a darker reality that is slowly rising up within the singer. They want to know if what they are feeling is real or just their imagination and attempt to learn how to control it within their "rotten flesh".

As the song progresses, the singer becomes more and more consumed by this internal struggle. They feel like they are being destroyed from within, searching for answers and explanations as to why they are feeling this way. Despite their efforts, they cannot seem to do anything against it and feel like they are becoming someone who does not want to live. By the end of the song, the singer has lost control entirely and feels like they have nothing left.

Overall, "The Origin of Hate" discusses the conflict between good and evil within an individual's psyche, and the struggle to control it.
