Breed
Ma'anish Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Breed, breed and fill this world
Conquer, conquer and expand
Human masses full of weakness
Ready to be broken
Not by whip, not by steel, we break their will
Appoint a warden from within
Sic the hounds at each other's throats
Silent devil whispers toxic words in his ear
That is the immortal method, divide to control
Empty heads, fed with paranoia
Licking the hand, Asking for more
They are out there, Looking for you
With a glint in their eye and with tongues full of knives
They will find you
Sort, sort them all by size
Scare, scare them all to death
Chase the scared horses off the cliff's edge
Show them that outside these walls, all storms rage
Starved dogs feed at each other
Starved dogs feeding at each other
Appoint a warden from within
Sic the hounds at each other's throats
Silent devil whispers toxic words in his ear
That is the immortal method, divide to control

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ma'anish's song "Breed" portray a dark and sinister perspective on the nature of power and control. The song seems to criticize the manipulation and exploitation of human weaknesses by those in positions of authority. The opening lines, "Breed, breed and fill this world / Conquer, conquer and expand," suggest a desire for dominance and the expansion of influence.

The lyrics then highlight the vulnerability and fragility of the masses, who are depicted as easily broken and controlled. The use of words like "whip" and "steel" implies that physical force is not needed to subjugate them; rather, their will is shattered through psychological manipulation. The appointment of a warden from within and incitement of conflict among the people reflects the tactic of division for the purpose of control.

The song also touches on the idea of spreading fear and paranoia. The line "Empty heads, fed with paranoia / Licking the hand, asking for more" suggests that people are willingly consuming and seeking further manipulation. The menacing presence of those outside, "looking for you / with a glint in their eye and with tongues full of knives," emphasizes the constant threat and danger lurking.

In the later verses, the lyrics continue to depict a bleak reality, where individuals are sorted and scared, and even driven to their destruction. The image of "scared horses" being chased off a cliff's edge serves as a metaphor for the desperate and destructive actions people may take when pushed to their limits. The repeated lines about appointing a warden, siccing hounds at each other, and the silent devil whispering toxic words exemplify the immortality of this method of control, perpetuating a cycle of division and manipulation.

Overall, "Breed" offers a critical reflection on the methods of power and control employed in society, highlighting the vulnerabilities and dangers that can arise when division, fear, and manipulation are used as tools.
