Worst Case Scenario
Jungle Rot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Impact, earth cracked,
megacities attacked
Contrary to fact,
our enemies react
Counterattack,
our movements have been tracked
Exact, world sacked,
under legislative act

Nuclear winter now
Devastating consequence
The worst case scenario
Shade the Earth from the Sun

Globe seared, our sphere,
the face of evil reared
Extinction, we're geared,
our vows will be adhered
Revered, and feared,
your god can't interfere
Sterilized, world cleared,
living things have disappeared

Nuclear winter now
Devastating consequence
The worst case scenario
Shade the Earth from the Sun

Soot and smoke released
Into the stratosphere




Dust clouds block out the light
Plunged into eternal night

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jungle Rot's "Worst case scenario" tell a story of a devastating attack on the earth that results in the destruction of megacities, the world being sapped, and the extinction of living things. The enemies of Earth react to an attack and launch a counterattack. This leads to the collapse of the world order, legislative acts being put in place, and the earth being shaded from the sun amidst a nuclear winter.


In this world of post-apocalyptic chaos, the face of evil rears, and the fate of the earth falls into human hands. The people of earth are left with a vow to adhere to, revered and feared. Even your god can't interfere as the world is sterilized and living things disappear. The devastating consequence of this nuclear winter is irreversible, and the earth is plunged into eternal night as dust clouds block out the light.


Overall, the lyrics of the song paint a vivid picture of a world destroyed by war and nuclear weapons, where people's aspirations and dreams are lost and, in turn, where the earth is plunged into an eerie silence. It's a powerfully written piece that sends a powerful message to humanity never to take the luxury of peace for granted.

forty years old, these guys are one of those bands that helps you keep the faith with all the shitty metal out there

theslurm

One of the best death metal bands around.

S Fraser

I've been lucky to see these guys live three times in my relatively small town. Never in my life have I felt crushing guitars in my chest cavity the way these guys do it. I could feel every palm mute kick like a mule right in the center of my chest. These guys SLAY live. One of the best bands I've ever had the pleasure to see perform.

Ali Dez

I can’t remember for sure, but I’m pretty sure this is the first Jungle Rot song I ever heard. And I was instantly in love. Now a top 5 metal band for me.

Christ Denied

Went to see Deicide in Deep Ellum a few weeks ago, and these guys opened for them I had never heard of them till then. They kicked ass! I got to meet the vocalist and lead guitarist

I love it when I'm searching for a particularly nasty sounding physical ailment and find there's already a band named after it.

Violet. Senderhauf

same here

pasko1983

It's time for this band to harvest the success they deserve. Napalm Records is doing a great job (letting them shot this video, the first from "Victims Of Violence"). Jungle Rot are the kings of groove!

Hugoj33

simple and right to the point. great band

lamepointlesschannel

Saw these guys live with deicide last march here in chocago, and I had actually never heard of these guys until then, but now I can't get enough of them. It was my first metal show, and my neck hurt two days later form all the headbanging. Long story short, these guys are awesome!
