The Abolishment
Guerilla Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

fridge control. let's get things straight.
your arguments are just a cheap excuse
for your habits. for tradition.
constantly reproduced.

so c'mon reflect your lifestyle. It's so absurd.
Let logic win. No need for animal death and
torture. No steak in my stomach.

No dead skin on my skin.

wrong labelled truth. your products stink.
what a disguting shit.
well it's so easy to put an end to it.

Just say yeah to hunting misses.
Just say yeah to vegan kisses.

It's no religion. we're not part of a holy war.
you won't increase your rebirth credits by sparing
a cow. and there is no justification to abuse the
singularity of the shoah. just for catching some
publicity. we want progress and pleasure.

I don't preach abdication. fuck it.
this is 'bout the abolishment of a barbaric relic.

Overall Meaning

The song 'The Abolishment' by Guerilla is a powerful and thought-provoking critique of the habits and traditions that justify animal cruelty and the consumption of meat and other animal products. The opening lines of the song challenge the idea that these habits and traditions are valid arguments for the exploitation and killing of animals. Rather, they are seen as excuses that reflect our absurd and outdated lifestyle choices. Guerilla calls on listeners to reflect on the logic of their choices and to embrace a more compassionate and ethical way of living.

The song makes clear the brutal reality of the animal agriculture industry, where animals are subjected to death and torture, often in the name of tradition and profit. The lyrics call on individuals to take responsibility for their participation in this system and to make changes in their own lives to support the abolition of this barbaric practice. The powerful refrain of the song, 'Just say yeah to hunting misses. Just say yeah to vegan kisses.' encourages listeners to reject the old ways of living and to embrace a more compassionate and ethical lifestyle that supports progress and pleasure without causing harm to others.
