Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Front Line Assembly's song "Division of Mind" speak to the struggle against oppression in a fascist state. The first stanza depicts a nation that never rests in its oppressive ways, with the second stanza suggesting that the only way to fight back is not with one's own hands, but through paying others to execute pain. The third stanza emphasizes the need for perseverance and never giving up, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.


The song goes on to describe the ways in which the state maintains its power, including through a network of druglords who rule the land and invalidate any dissent. However, the chorus speaks to the possibility of resistance and the importance of altering our perceptions of reality in order to fight back against the oppression. The final stanza describes the "final solution" that is looming, suggesting that the need for resistance is urgent.


Overall, "Division of Mind" is a powerful commentary on the struggle against fascism and the importance of remaining vigilant in the face of oppression. The song acknowledges the difficulty of the fight ahead, but also ultimately inspires listeners to take up the fight and never give up.
