Hocico Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
maybe it's the fear of a damned mental state
dust in the air tempest invades your fantasy narcotics running
infusing all your soul this age showed you another side of its
face to take you down in a destructive path
Why are you wating to change the way of subsist? the time
has gone over the thoughts of this mankind revenge in crowd
decide not by your self abuse of all, change your mind and
lifestyle, despise all that joins you with your race
confine your ideas, praise the brutal deaths put your
mind out of this criminal dose, give me your nerves, neurosis
panic and rave, crisis, hate, noise, scream, blame, hope
pulse, screen, drugs, crimes, blood, death, alive, scum
why you? why are you wasting your life?
The lyrics to Hocico's song Self Destructive Path express the confusion and fear that many individuals feel when faced with the pressures of society and the allure of destructive behaviors. The opening lines "I see you confused there is no more left to see" suggest a sense of hopelessness and resignation, as if the singer is observing someone who has reached a point of no return. The reference to a "damned mental state" further reinforces the idea that the individual is struggling with inner demons.
The second stanza highlights the societal pressures that contribute to this self-destructive path. The "mass media commands you to decide not by yourself" implies that individuals are influenced by external forces rather than making decisions based on their own values and beliefs. The reference to "abuse of all" suggests that the lifestyle choices and behaviors that lead to destruction are not isolated incidents, but rather affect all aspects of one's life. The final lines, "why you? why are you wasting your life?" are a plea for the individual to recognize the path they are on and make a change before it is too late.
Overall, Self Destructive Path is a powerful commentary on the challenges and temptations that individuals face as they navigate through life. It encourages listeners to take a step back and examine their choices and behaviors, and to resist societal pressures that may lead them down a destructive path.
