Wrecking Ball
H8Machine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can try and stand against, but your life is doomed.
See the pain and anguish unleashed at last,
Feel the pain and hatred as you hear me laugh.
It's like a nightmare what can you do,
Twist and turn in fear but it's come true.
Try and run away and cower down in fear,
Chorus
Wrecking, destroy all of your enemies
Fight back, hit back, hit back takeout another victim.
Break down, the walls of opposition.
Break them-ALL
The best things come to those who hate,
For an angry skinhead who just can't wait,
Yeah, through my eyes everyone is a victim
They're feeling only pain from my fist as it hits 'em.
Built to last and hard as steel,
You're crippled in pain paralyzed with fear,
You rolled the dice and got the loosing hand
The gambles up now you're gonna pay like a man.
Chorus.
Tow the line and you're gonna get beat,
No room for error no room for the weak.
You ran your mouth just a little too much
And now you're lying on the ground and you look like a punk.
Just like a wrecking ball we've smashed on through
We're leaving broken bodies when we're finally through
If you wanna step up and try it out our way,
They'll be picking you up and carrying you away...
Chorus.
The song Wrecking Ball by H8Machine talks about the power and might of the singer who is unstoppable and will destroy anything that stands in their way. The lyrics depict a violent and aggressive nature that perceives everyone as a victim, hitting them with fists and leaving their broken bodies behind. The song talks about pride in being angry and intolerant and considers it as the way to succeed. The chorus emphasizes the intention to demolish enemies and break down the walls of opposition in the pursuit of victory.
The lyrics suggest that trying to stop or run away from this force won't work as the singer will always be around, standing tall, and laughing at the fear and pain caused. The song implies that those who speak up, make a mistake, or show any sign of weakness are doomed to be left lying on the ground, looking like a punk. The message is to stand up to the challenge or be taken away in defeat.
