Mankind
Infest Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vice and violence a natural way of life
Evolution stops regression begins
Mankind grovels soul-less hypocrites
Hateful spiteful oblivious to the real deal
In such a primitive way most humans live
Deviance and greed the law of life
Clothed beasts untamed tamers
Warmonging race two legged earth rapers
The lyrics of Infest's song Mankind are a scathing commentary on the state of humanity, particularly in regards to our tendency towards vice and violence. The first verse draws attention to the fact that some humans still live in a primitive way, with these negative tendencies being seen as a natural way of life. The second verse takes a darker turn, noting that rather than continuing to evolve, humanity is actually regressing. The lyrics paint a bleak picture of a world in which mankind is groveling and hypocritical, with instincts of survival and population leading us into becoming a human cesspool.
The third verse is particularly damning, highlighting how hateful, spiteful, and oblivious we can be, ignoring the true realities around us. The lyrics continue to paint a picture of a society that is primitive and deviant, driven by greed and self-interest. Even those who might be seen as civilized are still shown to be "clothed beasts" - untamed and wild creatures living amongst their own kind. The final line of the song is particularly powerful, as it calls out humanity as a warmongering race and "two legged earth rapers."
Overall, the lyrics of Mankind are a bleak and angry indictment of humanity's negative tendencies. They paint a picture of a world in which we are driven by greed and self-interest, a world that is primitive and backwards rather than ever-evolving.
