Messiah
Inglorious Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

2. Messiah
Never saying a word, the way it must be
You're living a lie, the air that you breathe
You want salvation, redemption is free
Can he save the people? can't save himself
The message is clear, just figured it out
Claims he is the one, for the lost not the found
Don't suffocate us, you'll never take us alive
Alive
I, can't be the one that you need
You thought that I could be the answer
I am not the answer No
I, can't be the one that you need
Don't say that I am your Messiah
I am not the answer No
Now we're feeling sick, our bodies are tired
We follow the crowd, go along for the ride
Never asking enough, never questioning why
Natural selection is not what we need
Do we help the mouths of the one's we must feed
Another test of faith before you fall at his feet
Yeah
A prophet hated, saviour to sadist tonight
Tonight
I, can't be the one that you need
You thought that I could be the answer
I am not the answer No
I, can't be the one that you need
Don't say that I am your Messiah
I am not the answer No
We are the children we must do what we're told here
In the house unholy
I, can't be the one that you need
Don't say that I am your Messiah
I am not the answer No
I, can't be the one that you need
You thought that I could be the answer
I am not the answer No
I, can't be the one that you need




Don't say that I am your Messiah
I am not the answer No

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Inglorious's song Messiah criticize blind faith, the fallibility of cult leaders and the tendency of individuals to follow the crowd. The song describes the dangers of blindly following a person who claims to be a savior or a messiah without questioning their intentions and actions. The song highlights the fact that such blind faith may lead us away from rational thought and make us become puppets in the hands of the so-called savior or messiah. Despite the promise of salvation and redemption, the singer stresses that the messiah cannot save himself, let alone the people who follow him.


The lyrics also suggest that following a false messiah can be dangerous and damaging. The song refers to natural selection, implying that blindly following a messiah is akin to allowing the survival of the fittest, which may not always be in the best interests of the masses. The lyrics criticize the behavior of individuals who follow the crowd without questioning why, and how this tendency towards conformity can lead to the acceptance of false prophets and their inevitably flawed teachings.


Overall, the song portrays a powerful message, urging listeners to resist the lure of false messiahs, to question everything and seek answers, and to avoid becoming part of a mob mentality. Inglorious's Messiah is a wake-up call to those who tend to be attracted to cult-like organizations or individuals, encouraging them to think independently and avoid following blindly.
