Hocico Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don’t fear what you see
Demon or angel you’re with us
Good or evil, no man of dust
Spit out
Spit out
Spit out
Just play against the rules of fate
And win the golden throne
Who says you have to burn yourself
To be a servant in this shit hell?
Your blood will never cease to boil
Be brave and kill the beast
Reject all believes and creed
The church of sickness has to burn
Spit out
Spit it all out loud
No guts, no glory in this game
True lie, the wounds feeding the flames
No man can penetrate my soul
My spirit’s dancing in this shit hellhole
No cage, no prison in this life
Don’t fall, don’t fall into the trap
No man can penetrate my soul
My spirit’s dancing in this shit hellhole
In this shit hellhole
In the end
I stay in the end
You just let the end
I am here again
In the end
I stay in the end
You just let the end
I am here again
No guts, no glory in this game
True lie, the wounds feeding the flames
No man can penetrate my soul
My spirit’s dancing in this shit hellhole
No cage, no prison in this life
Don’t fall, don’t fall into the trap
No man can penetrate my soul
My spirit’s dancing in this shit hellhole
Hocico's song Vile Whispers is a song that encourages the listener to reject oppressive societal norms and to live life fully without fear. The lyrics open with an invitation to look into the singer's eye and not to fear what they see, whether the listener is a demon or angel. The singer acknowledges that society tries to impose limiting beliefs based on whether someone is good or evil, but reminds the listener that they are not just a physical body but a spirit that can rise and dance even in the midst of a terrible situation, referred to as a "shit hell."
The lyrics call for rebellion against the constraints of society and religion, urging the listener to play against the "rules of fate" and win the "golden throne" of their own life. The idea that someone must "burn themselves" in order to be a servant is rejected. Instead, the listener is encouraged to reject all beliefs and creeds, and to kill the "beast" within themselves. The "church of sickness" is also condemned and must metaphorically "burn."
The lyrics of Vile Whispers are a call for a personal revolution in the face of oppressive societal norms. The repetition of the phrase "spit out" is a way of rejecting what is forced upon the listener. The phrase "no guts, no glory" is a reminder that courage is required to reject societal norms, but that the reward is worth it, as one's spirit can rise above even the worst situations. The final verse is a repetition of the chorus, with the addition of the lines "In the end, I stay in the end/You just let the end/I am here again," which may suggest that the singer has gone through a personal revolution (the end) and is now free to live fully.
