Attitude
Max Cavalera/Sepultura Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On the real world is
So you can see
Feel your soul and Shape your mind to warfare
It's all for real
Live your life Not the way they taught you
Do what you feel
Give me blood, give me pain
These scars won't heal
What were you thinking? What a wonderful world
You're full of shit
Leave it behind
They don't care if you cry
All is left is pain
Can you take it?
Can you take it?
Can you take it?
Can you take it?
The only way
To get away
Kill your pride
Attitude
I won't take it
I won't take it
I won't take it
I won't take it
So in the end, I want to see some respect
(I said) you better show some respect
(I said) attitude and respect
The song "Attitude" by Max Cavalera/Sepultura is a hard-hitting and intense reflection on the nature of the world and the way in which people are conditioned to think and feel. The opening lines describe a struggle in the "real world" that is necessary to bring about a sense of purpose and direction in life. The lyrics suggest that this struggle should be embraced as a way of shaping the mind and soul for warfare, indicating that life is a battle in which one must be prepared to fight.
The song continues with a call to live life on one's own terms, rejecting the societal expectations that have been imposed on them. The lyrics suggest that survival requires a willingness to endure pain and suffering, as indicated by the line "Give me blood, give me pain, these scars won't heal." The song exposes the harsh reality of the world, where people are often callous and indifferent to the suffering of others.
The chorus of the song is an unapologetic rejection of the status quo, a refusal to bend to the will of others, and a demand for respect. The repeated refrain of "I won't take it" is a powerful statement of defiance, a refusal to accept the world as it is, and a call to action.
Overall, the song "Attitude" is a powerful and unflinching commentary on the nature of the world and the struggle for survival in a harsh and unforgiving environment.
