Intro
Energy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay
Smashing through the boundaries
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me
Battery
Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers
Never ending potency
Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity
Smashing through the boundaries
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me
Battery
Circle of destruction, hammer comes crushing
Powerhouse of energy
Whipping up a fury, dominating flurry
We create the battery
Smashing through the boundaries
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me
Battery
Energy's song "Intro" is a hard-hitting track that seems to celebrate the reckless abandon and power of metal music. The lyrics of the song start with "lashing out the action, returning the reaction," which implies a sense of aggression and a desire to take control. The lines "weak are ripped and torn away" create an image of brute force and even violence as the song progresses. The chorus, which sees the repetition of "cannot kill the battery" effectively communicates the idea of the unquenchable energy and resilience inherent in the genre. The final lines, "battery is found in me," seem to suggest that the power and energy of metal are not just external forces, but something that burns bright within the individual.
The song also prominently features the theme of domination and domination over one's adversaries. The lyrics express a desire to crush and destroy those who oppose the band and their music. Through the lines "crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers," and "whipping up a fury, dominating flurry," the band communicates their desire to assert their dominance through their music. The lines "breeding on insanity" also suggest that this sense of power is not something that can be easily controlled or tamed.
