Mindless
Infest Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Use till you die
Life just sucks
Unless you're high
Escape with sleep
Away from the pain
Only drugs can treat
Shaking you awake
Covered in sweat
Prescribing home
Versions of an
Inevitable Death
Mindless mutant
Do you like
What you are?
Substance abuser
Professional retard
It makes me sick
Such a waste
Just get a gun
Both have same fate
The lyrics to Infest's song Mindless are a bleak commentary on the vicious cycle of addiction and the desperation that it can create. The first verse is particularly poignant as it points to the idea that living in this world can be unbearable for some, and the pain can be so great that the only way to escape it is through drugs or other substances. However, the addiction only worsens things with time and eventually leads to an early death.
The second verse speaks to the self-destructive nature of addiction and how it can consume a person's life to the point where they become mindless and unable to appreciate anything beyond their next fix. The chorus then asks the listener if they like what they have become, implying that addiction inevitably leads to a loss of self and a downward spiral towards a bleak future.
Overall, the song is a powerful warning against the dangers of substance abuse and the devastation that it can bring to those who succumb to its grasp.
