Hocico Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm the so called fallen
I'm just a nail, nailed in the soul
Hurting their weak side
Collective thoughts of rage and aggression
My words defy their culture of fear
I'm a breathing offense for their nature
From all the pleasures my fave one comes
My loud laughter will be always heard
From all the pleasures my fave one comes
Hateful by nature, loathsome
I'm the incarnation of ancient rancors
Violent dreams of a once-caged bird
Stupid white men detest my roots
And I won't drown in my own blood
Look in my eyes, now you see clear
A contradiction that brings the tears
A wild impulse waits for it's time
I thank this anger for keeping me alive
I was born to be hated
'Cause I'll never be a part of their dirt
That's why I was born, was born to be hated
Offenses are vain, every word's the same
That's why I was born, was born to be hated
'Cause I represent just all that they fear
That's why
Chaos, all this is just vicious
I won't die for what a shithead says
Bastard pleasures
Legions living for obsession
Of those mad dogs licking ass
Bastard pleasures
Chaos, all this is just vicious
I won't die for what a shithead says
Bastard pleasures
Does this face offend you?
Does this skin offend you?
I hope they do
'cause that's what I'm here for
I was born to be hated
'Cause I'll never be a part of their dirt
That's why I was born, was born to be hated
Offenses are vain, every word's the same
That's why I was born, was born to be hated
'Cause I represent just all that they fear
That's why I was born, was born to be hated
'Cause I'll never be a part of their dirt
That's why
The lyrics to Hocico's "Born to Be" are a defiant declaration of the artist's identity, which sets them apart from society's norms and values. The lyrics portray the singer as a rebel who is not afraid to challenge societal expectations and stand up against the hypocrisy, hatred, and prejudice perpetuated by the dominant culture. The opening lines suggest that the singer was born with a sense of "fallenness," a rejection of the status quo, and a recognition that they are a thorn in the side of those who uphold the dominant ideologies. This theme carries throughout the song, with the singer recognizing that their very existence is a challenge to the dominant culture and acknowledging that they will remain an outsider, despised and feared by those around them.
Further on, the lyrics express the singer's pleasure in being different, their laughter a source of defiance and joy in the face of those who would oppress them. The lines "I'm the incarnation of ancient rancors, violent dreams of a once-caged bird" suggest that the singer carries an ancestral trauma within them, a memory of oppression and violence that fuels their resistance to the dominant culture. The lyrics also touch on issues of race, with the line "Stupid white men detest my roots" suggesting that the singer feels oppressed by a culture dominated by white people. The chorus repeatedly declares the singer's defiance of societal norms, with the line "That's why I was born, was born to be hated" encapsulating the central message of the song.
