Doomed to Perish
Hocico Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello Jesus welcome to see
The inquisition of the blind
Are these people victims of your hate?
Are you dead or are you still alive?

Bombs keep dropping from your heaven
So nobody can say there´s something wrong
But we never could listen
It was only a feather on the air
For your own private perversion
Our world ends and no one will survive
Can you hear them all breath?
While they choke and you smile

Cry and make sure all
The living listen to your cry
Singing the ending
While everyone just cries
Dying again

You and me apocalypse begins
The rest die as all their beliefs

Hate is only a human disease
Can you just quit crying please?
And if all we see is only an illusion
You´d rather die or live inside of it?
I am ready for the end
Don´t want to turn it back

Who´s the dying disease?
Is it inside of us?
I wanna give it to you
You wanna give it to me
Who´s the dying disease?
Will it kill us all?
And it´ll eat our souls
And it´ll eat ourselves

Do you feel the touch?
Don´t close your eyes
Never, don´t let it die
No never again
Feel the touch, don´t close your eyes
No, never again

Die, die, do it again
Everything vanishes
And this is our end
Die, die, do it again
There´s nothing here for you
There´s nothing here so

Die, die, die with your submission
Die, die, die with your beliefs




Die, die, die with your submission
Die, die, die with your beliefs

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hocico's song 'Doomed to Perish' are haunting, dark, and full of questions about faith, death, and suffering. The song begins with a reference to Jesus, and the inquisition of the blind, suggesting that the religious institutions that supposedly represent the teachings of Jesus are actually causing harm to their followers. The lyrics go on to talk about the dropping of bombs from heaven, which seems to represent the idea that those in power, including religious leaders and governments, have the ability to cause destruction and chaos but are not held accountable for their actions.


The song continues with the idea that the world is ending and that no one will survive. There is a sense of hopelessness and despair throughout the lyrics as they suggest that everyone is doomed to perish. There are references to the idea that hate is a human disease and that it is causing the destruction of everything around us. The final lines of the song urge the listener to feel the touch, to not close their eyes, and to never let it die. It is unclear what 'it' is referring to, but it could be interpreted as a desire for connection or a hope for something beyond the destruction and suffering that is being described.
