Guilt Trip Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Intersect the insect species
Simulacra shock the construct
Media whore the simulation
Speaking lies that multiply
Rotten to the core
No cure no absolution
Ass as in nation no habla bloody bla
This illusion disillusion
The solution fire purifies
Content smiles a
Sign of breeding
Idiots the target practice
Lewd and complacent
Kill the elephant
This illusion disillusion
The solution fire purifies
Patriotic idiotic
Mental bore the masturbation
Sodomy the liberation
This illusion disillusion
The solution fire purifies
In "Delusion" by Guilt Trip, the lyrics delve into themes of artificiality, manipulation, and societal disillusionment. The song begins by describing a "Machine like life mental grazer," suggesting a passive existence where individuals consume information without critical thinking. The line "Intersect the insect species" implies a merging of human behavior with that of mindless insects, emphasizing the dehumanizing effects of the modern world.
The next line, "Simulacra shock the construct," refers to the various simulations and representations that bombard society, causing a sense of shock and detachment from reality. The phrase "Media whore the simulation" criticizes the media for exploiting and sensationalizing these simulations to attract attention, further distancing people from genuine experiences.
The chorus repeats the idea of lies multiplying and a rotten core with no hope for redemption, highlighting the pervasive and corrupting nature of deceit. The phrase "Ass as in nation no habla bloody bla" sarcastically suggests the ignorance and unwillingness of the masses to acknowledge the truth.
The second verse continues to explore the illusion created by society, emphasizing the need for a solution. It suggests that only fire can purify and cleanse this illusion, potentially alluding to the necessity of destruction in order to rebuild a more genuine reality.
The lyrics then shift to criticize those who blindly adhere to patriotic and nationalistic ideologies, labeling them as "idiotic" and "mental bore." The line "Sodomy the liberation" could be a provocative metaphor, challenging societal norms and advocating for a radical departure from conventional thinking.
Ultimately, the song concludes with a repeated refrain of "This illusion disillusion, The solution fire purifies," underscoring the idea that through the destruction of illusions and false narratives, a true and authentic reality can be revealed and purified. The lyrics of "Delusion" convey a sense of frustration with the superficiality of modern society and a desire for a genuine and transformative change.
