Total War
DS-13 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On this hell hole call the home
Les′t play master and servant
Degradation in it's finest form
This is the total war
Total war - going for the final showdown
Total war - i having a fucking ball
Total war - Killing a will to live
The lyrics of DS-13's song Total War reflect a violent and aggressive approach to life. The singer urges the listener to unleash their "dog of fury" upon the world, seeing their environment as a "hell hole" that needs conquering. The references to "master and servant" and "degradation in its finest form" suggest a desire for domination and control over others. This kind of mindset is evident in the repeated chant of "total war" throughout the song, which serves as a mantra for the singer and their violent intentions.
The use of violent language and imagery in the lyrics is meant to incite a sense of rebellion and defiance within the listener. The song is a call to arms against a perceived enemy. However, the lyrics are also tinged with a sense of nihilism and despair. The line "killing a will to live" suggests a desire to destroy not only one's enemies but also one's own sense of self. The use of the word "total" in the title of the song reflects the all-encompassing nature of the violent worldview presented in the lyrics.
