RATS
Hefeystos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come to me
The rats of mine
Kids of boards
Of drunk suburbs
From the city of the world
A maggoty flower
Further do swim
In unconscious gutter
Of your crimes
But when
'Do crawl'
I shall order
From shit to shit
From Dirt to dirt
And on your knees
Get fuckin' out
Out of moral dens
Because
It's my who does
Break, trample and cross over
So come
Come with me
To meet your fine slaughter
It's high time
The end's feast celebration
Remains!
The song "Rats" by Hefeystos describes the singer's call to the rats of the city, which they consider to be their own children. The rats are described as being from the "drunk suburbs" and are viewed as a symbol of decay and corruption in the city. The singer urges the rats to continue their unconscious behavior until they reach the point where they crawl on their hands and knees. At that point, the singer will order them to leave their moral dens and join him on a journey to their inevitable slaughter.
The lyrics of this song are open to interpretation, but they seem to explore themes of corruption, decay, and destruction. The rats represent the dark side of humanity, and the singer may be calling for a collective reckoning with our own inner demons. The repeated phrase "come to me" suggests a willingness to embrace what is ugly and unpleasant, a kind of dark catharsis that may lead to transformation and growth.
Overall, "Rats" is a haunting song that offers a provocative commentary on the human condition. Its lyrics may not be easy to decipher, but it is a compelling and powerful work that will leave an indelible mark on the listener.

I understand why this polish band split up...they were just too original for popular taste. But at the same time i regret that it ever happened, `cause it would `ve been great a Pyscho Cafe part 2.
