Mental
Krystal System Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Psychopatique
Morne & létal
Traditionaliste
Virulent comme l'entraxe
Le mental intoxique
Instable & brutal
Désaxe & nous nique
Pathétiques sous les masques
Les hommes-machines appliquent
Leurs pactes banals
Leurs dogmes civiques
Pathétiques sous les masques
Les hommes-machines appliquent
Leurs pactes banals
Leurs dogmes civiques.
I own you many thanks
My dear friend,
For filling up my head
And leaving me almost dead
Own you many thanks
My dear friend,
For leaving
Me almost dead
Own you many thanks
For leaving me
Almost dead
Welcome into this great World
Constructed like a play
Happy to be in the cast
Happy to be in Wonderland
Welcome into this great World
Welcome into this great World
La tradition rassure
Encaustique et fabrique
Des lignées légales
De type apathique
Le mental dresse un mur
Conforme à la logique
Des normes glaciales
De l'égocentrique.
I own you many thanks
My dear friend,
For filling up my head
And leaving me almost dead
Own you many thanks
My dear friend,
For filling up my head
And leaving me almost dead
Own you many thanks
My dear friend,
For leaving
Me almost dead
Own you many thanks
For leaving me
Almost dead
Welcome into this great World
Constructed like a play
Happy to be in the cast
Happy to be in Wonderland
The lyrics of Krystal System's song "Mental" speaks about how the modern-day society, with its traditionalist ideals, dogmas, and norms, is a mental prison that intoxicates, brutalizes, and destabilizes the individual. The singer describes the mental state of people affiliated with the masses as psychopathic, morbid, lethal, and virulent, reminding listeners that the mental dross of society is toxic and ruins individuality. The song contends that people within modern society walk around wearing masks that reveal their pathos, naivety, mundane deeds, and adherence to social dogmas.
Krystal System equates the tradition with the mental state of conformism, egocentrism, and glacial norms. The lyrics of the song describe how the mental state of an individual is not their own but constructed to conform to the ideals of society. The song warns listeners to beware of this mental trap, urging them to embrace their individuality to prevent feeling death creeping in.
