Double Face
Extrema Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As it goes
On it's fuckin' path
Big exclusive neighborhoods and luxury villas
Are rising everywhere
In these slums underfoot where people hunger
And are ignored by others
When you try to fuck with your double face
Too many people without home and work
Compelled to steal
For a piece of bread
People that die in a real hell ignored by others
More money for the rich
While the poor are taken to the hilt
When you try to fuck with your double face
YOUR BROTHER O' EVERYDAY
REPEAT VERSE ONE
Extrema's song Double Face addresses the stark contrast between the world's wealthy, who live in big exclusive neighborhoods and luxury villas, and those who live in slums and suffer from hunger, poverty, and lack of opportunity. The lyrics point out the hypocrisy of those who turn a blind eye to the struggles of others and pretend to care while maintaining a double face. The song highlights the desperate situations of people who are compelled to steal for a piece of bread or die in a real hell while the rich continue to accumulate more wealth. In this context, YOUR BROTHER O' EVERYDAY becomes a powerful and ironic reminder that we are all brothers and sisters, regardless of our status, and that we should all have a voice and empathy for those who suffer.
