Born into wilderness
Fire in my eyes
Ruler of nothingness
Man has to die

Gorilla
Gorilla, uh

Gorilla, uh uh uh

Forced in this cage
I seek a way out
Let me be me
To no man I bow

Gorilla

Dead emptiness
Spit in my eyes
Hairless monstrosity
You robbed me of life

Gorilla

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of DeTraktor's song "Gorilla" express a sense of rebellion and longing for freedom. The singer is portrayed as someone who was born into the wild, with fire in their eyes, and is now forced into a cage. The reference to being a ruler of nothingness suggests that they once had power and autonomy but have now been stripped of it by society.


The repeated lines of "Gorilla, Gorilla, uh" convey a sense of identity and strength. The gorilla represents primal instincts and the fierce determination to break free from constraints. The singer refuses to conform or bow down to the expectations and norms of society. They are seeking a way out of this confined existence and yearn to be their authentic self once again.


The lyrics also express a deep sense of loss and anger. The mention of dead emptiness and spit in their eyes signifies the singer's feeling of being dehumanized and treated with disrespect. The reference to "hairless monstrosity" could symbolize the dehumanizing nature of society that sees the singer as less than human.


Overall, "Gorilla" is a powerful anthem that speaks to the innate desire for freedom and self-expression, as well as the frustration and anger that can arise when these basic rights are taken away.
