Taste the Waste
Hocico Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And taste your own waste
Face all what you did
Fucked up, losing your face
I don't suffer from insanity
So don't mess with my sincerity
I don't suffer from insanity
I see you desire and lust
Try to take over your mind
When your body's only flesh
You're weak and frail
Shame has come your way
And who, who the fuck cares?
Shame has come your way
Now laugh, laugh in despair
I don't suffer from insanity
So don't mess with my sincerity
I don't suffer from insanity
So don't tell me now what the hell I did
Fall
You're fighting with your self
And I know
The shame and the guilt live in your head
The glory and the beauty fading to black
But they live in your head
And make you fall
Hey, don't judge me for the things you see
I live my life in these empty streets
Hey, don't judge me for the things you see
I know how to eat my own shit
Fall
You're fighting with your self
And I know
The shame and the guilt live in your head
Fall
You're fighting with your self
And I know
The shame and the guilt live in your head
The glory and the beauty fading to black
But they live in your head
And make you fall
The lyrics of Hocico's "Taste the Waste" are a meditation on shame, guilt, and the self-destructive impulses that lead us down the path of ruin. The song is filled with dark imagery of decay and disintegration, from the opening lines that urge the listener to "face all you have done and taste your own waste" to the repeated refrain of "fall, you're fighting with yourself."
The song's protagonist is struggling with their inner demons, haunted by a sense of shame and regret for past mistakes. But they refuse to be defined by their failures, insisting that they do not "suffer from insanity" and warning others not to "mess with my sincerity." The lyrics suggest that the key to overcoming these negative feelings lies in confronting them head-on and learning to accept the parts of ourselves that we may not like.
Throughout the song, Hocico weaves together themes of desire, temptation, and self-destruction, using vivid imagery to create a portrait of a mind in turmoil. The lyrics may be harsh and confrontational, but ultimately they offer a message of hope and resilience in the face of adversity.
