Killer Instinct
Machinae Supremacy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A beating pulse, a pounding heart,
a million pieces from the start
I never doubted for a second
that it would be hard
But the will to be alive
greater than any ideals

I believe in you my love, we are above
simple things are not for us, we bleed for lust

Driven by our violent past,
ever forcing us to last,
unbridled killer instinct
ever standing fast
When the will to be alive
overshadows any doubt

I believe...





We are heading for an evolutionary cul de sac
as our brethren try to take it all back

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Killer Instinct" by Machinae Supremacy deal with the primal urge to survive, kill or be killed, and rise above all odds. The singer talks about having a beating pulse and a pounding heart, indicating that he has undergone many struggles in his life. He never doubted that his journey to overcome these obstacles would be hard, but he is willing to fight for survival. He has a strong will to be alive, which is greater than any philosophical beliefs or ideas he may hold.


The chorus, "I believe in you my love, we are above, simple things are not for us, we bleed for lust," suggests that the fight for survival is not just an individual struggle but something that is shared between two people. The lovers believe that they are different from the rest of the world; they do not belong to the mundane, but they bleed for the passion of life. The second verse talks about the violent past that drives them forward, and the "killer instinct" that keeps them going. They are ever unyielding, never giving up, ever standing fast, and ready to fight.


Overall, the song highlights the contrast between human beings' desire for evolution, battle, and survival, and the need to transcend their primal instincts to create a better world.

Pamiętaj, że sporo ludzi wciąż jeszcze kojarzy słowo "metal" z Nergalem i satanistami. Trochę czasu jeszcze minie zanim muzyka tego typu się bardziej rozpowszechni(choć widać już jakiś postęp pod tym względem np. Sabaton)
