Wounds From Within
D.I. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It will come back
Kapoww
I've seen the scars flying humans and to stars
They've got no morals
They belong behind bars
Daddy he wears a hood they say he must be blind
Subculture, self destruction it will leave you all behind
Is it eternal sin
Destroying empty minds
Is that such a crime, such a crime
Super star, for the USSR
Total obliteration would do me just fine
Systematic race filters stocking their prey
They'll get you
They'll get you
They'll get you
They'll get you
They'll get you
They'll get you
They'll get you
They'll get you
They'll get you
They'll get you
Your time will come
The fun has just begun
Don't turn your back
Don't look for that shadow
Constant attack
They'll never stop, they'll always want more
The lyrics of D.I.'s song Wounds From Within convey a message about the consequences of self-destruction and immoral behavior. The lyrics suggest that those who engage in these behaviors will ultimately face the wounds they create within themselves. The opening lines, "What's that behind you, it will come back, Kapoww" imply that actions have consequences, and a negative result will eventually befall those who engage in immoral behavior. The lyrics also touch on themes of societal and government control, with lines such as "Super star for the USSR, Total obliteration would do me just fine," suggesting that powerful forces can be destructive and harmful to individuals.
The chorus of the song, which repeats "You feel those wounds from within, is it eternal sin," is a question directed at the listener, asking them to reflect on their own behavior and the negative effects it may have on their psyche. The lyrics suggest that destroying empty minds, though a crime, may be necessary to awaken individuals to the harm they cause themselves.
Overall, the song delivers a strong message of personal accountability and the consequences of immoral behavior, while also touching on themes of societal and governmental control.
