Menyangkal Sangkakala
DeadSquad Lyrics

The lyrics to DeadSquad's song "Menyangkal Sangkakala" describe a world filled with despair and falsehoods. The opening line "Devosi bergema duka memekakkan telinga yang tuli" translates to "Devotion echoes grief, deafening the ears of the mute." This line sets the tone for the rest of the song, as it expresses the overwhelming sorrow in the world that is ignored and disregarded. The next few lines "Repitisi mitos usang makhluk mitologi, Halusinasi intoksinasi imajinasi" roughly translate to "Repeating outdated myths of mythological creatures, hallucination, intoxication, imagination." These lines could suggest that people are clinging to outdated beliefs and are living in a state of delusion.

The song continues with the description of a world where lies are spread as truth, proclaimed by those with power and control. The image of a dull, triple-bladed sword being vomited from someone's mouth is a powerful metaphor for the toxicity of the lies that are being spread around. The lines "Kengerian diserukan lewat corong kontrol penyebar teror, Jiwa yang sungsang melangkah dan tenggelam" roughly translated to "Terror is shouted through the horn of control, a twisted soul walks and sinks." This portrays a dystopian society that is being controlled by fear and manipulation.

The chorus of the song "Menyangkal nubuat irasional, Memasung kuda bercula enam, Mematahkan dogma yang memudar" means "Deny irrational prophecies, Bind the six-horned horse, Break the fading dogma." This could suggest a call to action to critically examine beliefs and challenge outdated dogmas. The final lines "Malaikat dengan sayap berkarat" translate to "Angels with rusty wings," possibly suggesting a world where even the divine is not spared from corrosion and decay.
