(Breaking the rules. There is no truth.)
There's no truth. Break the fake.
The lyrics of H8Machine's song Resistance are a call to action against conformity and fake realities. The verses describe a desire to break free from the constraints of society, to reject the norms and expectations that do not represent the truth. The chorus repeats the phrase "Go away" as a challenge to those who try to limit our freedom and a declaration of independence. The lyrics use images of flight, movement, and search for light to express the desire for transcendence and discovery.
The use of Japanese words adds to the sense of rebellion and resistance against western culture and its expectations. The song is a mix of metal and rap, reflecting the influence of both genres on the band's sound. The lyrics make use of vivid imagery and metaphor to create a powerful, visceral message of defiance and hope.
