Resist
Front Line Assembly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"Kill for kicks"
"Bio-readouts are all in the green, looks like she's alive"
Resist, resist, resist
"Killed your lovers"
Resist the command
Vicious warning
Deface, deface the ?
Fleeing from rejection,
You're fleeing from the lies
Nothing for the loser,
The hero always dies.
The look in your eye
The pressure, you kill with a knife
Toxins and games
You, you vow to win
Resist the command
Deface, deface the ?
And vow to win

"Kill for kicks"
Filth!
Excite! Excite!
What are we living for?
Excite! Excite!
We fade away

Menace of mine
We sellout
We fade away
"You're going down"
Escape from rejection,
Escape from the lies
Nothing for the loser,
The hero always dies.
The theme for protection,
Your scheme full of lies,
Nothing for the loser,
The hero always dies.
Resist the command!
"Killed your loved ones"
My ??? is burning
You want to die
"Bio-readouts are all in the green, looks like she's alive"
Resist the command!

The theme for your lies
"Kill for kicks"




"Bio-readouts are all in the green"
Resist

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Front Line Assembly's song Resist are a commentary on the dehumanizing nature of technology and the military-industrial complex. The phrase "kill for kicks" refers to the senseless violence that can arise when violence becomes normalized and even desirable. The line "bio-readouts are all in the green, looks like she's alive" suggests that in a world where people are reduced to data and numbers, their humanity gets lost in the process. This is further emphasized by the refrain "resist, resist, resist," which urges the listener to push back against the forces that would strip them of their humanity.


The second verse of the song takes a more personal tone, describing an individual who is trapped in a cycle of rejection and lies. The line "the hero always dies" suggests that the person feels powerless in the face of their circumstances. However, they are urged to resist the negativity and fight for a better future. The final section of the song returns to the theme of technology and its dehumanizing effects, with the repeated refrain of "bio-readouts are all in the green" serving as a grim reminder of what we stand to lose in a world ruled by machines.
