Propaganda
Engel Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're born with masks and bred to lie
We're burning bridges, burning skies
A nihilistic genocide
You'll end up knee deep in filth

Exploding, burning, melting down
Imploding, bursting, cracking up
Annihilistic genocide

Born at the dawn of time

Strengthened with weapons and grenades
Strengthened with bullets, ropes and blades
When cornered, whipped and hunted down
We're all that's left behind

Propagate this venomous, absolute design

So, get your guns now, let's show them how it's done
We need your guns now to show them how it's done

We're born with masks and bred to lie
We're burning bridges, burning skies
Put trust in us and you'll survive
We won't die, we multiply

Propagate this venomous, absolute design

So, get your guns now, let's show them how it's done
We need your guns now to show them how it's done

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Propaganda" by Engel are a scathing critique of the destructive nature of human society. The first verse speaks to the idea that we are born into a world where we are expected to wear masks and lie to conform to societal norms. The repetitions of "burning bridges" and "burning skies" suggest a sense of destruction and decay that is all around us. The line "a nihilistic genocide" creates a sense of hopelessness and despair, hinting that we are doomed to destroy ourselves.

The second verse continues with a list of destructive actions: "Exploding, burning, melting down / Imploding, bursting, cracking up / Annihilistic genocide / Born at the dawn of time." These lines paint a picture of chaos and violence that has existed since the beginning of humanity. The following lines suggest that we try to bolster ourselves with weapons and violence, but ultimately we are helpless when we are "cornered, whipped and hunted down." The chorus drives home the message that we need to "propagate this venomous, absolute design" and use our guns to show our power.

Overall, the lyrics of "Propaganda" paint a bleak picture of humanity. The song suggests that we are inherently violent and destructive, and that we are doomed to destroy ourselves unless we can break free from the cycle of violence and embrace a different way of being.
