Deformed Creatures
Messiah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Humans born healthy
We converse all the time
Humans born deformed
We avoid all of them

Your body's crippled, your face deformed
Your hand's mutilated, your skin's burnt
My body's well-shaped, my face is striking
My hand's delicate, my skin's very neat

I can't see in your eyes
Why don't you look at me?
You don't belong in our society
You belong in a closed sanatorium

I'm shocked by your body
You're angry at our refusal
I'm horrified by your face
You're infurious at our inequity

All dreadful beings are creations of god
God has decided you'll live as a clod

God has decided, ill or healthy
He forgot justice




Was this the life you wished for
Spending your life in a closed sanatorium

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Messiah's song "Deformed Creatures" explore society's treatment towards individuals who are born with physical deformities. The song highlights the stark contrast in how society interacts with healthy people versus deformed people. The lyrics suggest that healthy people engage in conversation with one another, while they avoid interacting with deformed individuals. It is seen as if deformed individuals do not belong to society and belong in a "closed sanatorium." The song describes the body parts of both healthy and deformed individuals, with emphasis on the deformities of the latter. The lyrics also suggest that God has created all beings, including the deformed, and society's refusal to accept them is unjust. It concludes by asking the question, "Was this the life you wished for, spending your life in a closed sanatorium?"


The lyrics of the song highlight the issue of discrimination against individuals born with physical deformities. Society has created a hierarchy of human worth, where the physically impaired are deemed inferior to the healthy. The song explores the psychological trauma that individuals with deformities go through due to the constant rejection from society. It also questions the role of religion in the creation of such individuals and whether it is just to accuse a deity of such creations.
