Hidden Genocide
Gorod Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The end justifies the means, I will be merciless
I hold the ability to destroy, I have the power to kill
The end justifies the means, I will design some disease
What's a nation, what's a continent?
What's a fellow, what is a people? ...Nothing but livestock
What is ethics, what's morality?
There's no struggle
No resistance
No guerrillas
Just illusions
There's no peace
No negotiation
No mediation
Just a hidden genocide
This underdeveloped continent, deserved only one thing
To die in despicable ways, and leave me its wealth
Imagine a virus, and people degenerating
Over three generations, imagine a virus
Crude physical and mental alterations
Your behavior deteriorating, your instincts more debase
Your eating habits changing, you will fading out
All that makes you human disappearing, you're turning into a pig
Your face's shaping your background
To gorge yourself and laze around, suce are your motivations
Man's caricature, even your pride gets lost
In the gaping bodies of your ripped open brothers
The lyrics of Gorod's song "Hidden Genocide" paint a picture of a tyrannical ruler with a desire for domination over a nation or continent. The first verse suggests that they are willing to go to any lengths necessary to achieve their goals, even if it means being merciless and creating a disease to achieve their desired outcome. The second verse explores the idea that the ruler sees the people they rule over as mere livestock, with no morality or altruism, and thus unworthy of any ethical treatment. The chorus further emphasizes this bleak outlook, with no hope for any form of resistance or peace, and the notion of a hidden genocide being carried out.
The final verse takes a more visceral turn, describing the ruler's plan to infect the people they rule over with a virus that causes physical and mental alterations, leading to a loss of humanity and a "turning into a pig." The use of the pig as a symbol of base instincts and degraded behavior emphasizes the contempt that the ruler has for their subjects. The reference to "your ripped open brothers" paints a gruesome picture of the violent and cruel tactics used to carry out this hidden genocide.
Overall, the lyrics of "Hidden Genocide" present a chilling picture of a cruel and ruthless ruler who sees their subjects as mere objects to be exploited and destroyed in the pursuit of their own power and wealth. It speaks to the dangers of unchecked authoritarianism and tyranny, and the importance of fighting against such oppressive regimes.
