Messiah (UK band):
Formed in 1988 during London's acid house craze by college friends Ali Ghani and Mark Davies, Messiah's brand of rave techno encompasses the aggression and volume of punk and the diva vocals of house music. When Ghani and Davies met at an Iggy Pop concert, the two decided to purchase some electronic equipment and make music for fun; when musical chemistry became evident, they began to get into the English techno and rave scene. After the release of 1993's Temple of Dreams, their first full-length U.S. album, 21st Century Jesus, was released one year later. Messiah Meets Progenitor followed in 1998 and saw a fairly dramatic shift in style. The introduction of guitars into the mix pushed their sound more towards that of Jesus Jones, Pop Will Eat Itself or later Prodigy.
Messiah (Swiss metal band):
Messiah is a death/thrash metal band from Switzerland. The band is best known for their first two full-length albums, Hymn to Abramelin and Extreme Cold Weather. Messiah's debut album, Hymn to Abramelin, was released in 1986 through Chainsaw Murder Records. Their sophomore LP, titled Extreme Cold Weather, came out in 1987 and was re-issued on CD three years later by Nuclear Blast. The release also contained the band's debut album. The band then managed to sign to a German major metal label, Noise Records, which released their next album, Choir of Horrors, in 1991. Messiah released two more albums, Rotten Perish and Underground, through Noise, but disbanded in the mid-1990's.
After a long break Messiah reunited, first to perform a few secret shows in 2017, but then decided to write new material in 2018, and released a new album in September 2020. Since 2018 also, they are back on stage and play live again. Their newest album Christus Hypercubus is set to be released on March 1, 2024.
For Those Who Will Fail
Messiah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He created humans, humans of prejudice, humans with selfishness
He forgot the justice, justice of humanity, justice of equality
You created our faults, pain in our bodies, weakness of our brains
[Chorus:]
For those who will fail
Ora, uxorem, natura
We talk about humans, they couldn't live a real life
Expelled from their families in a remote closed sanitarium
They remain will they'll die
We still shun all these human beings, are we too sensitive?
Why haven't they a place in our society, who takes the blame?
We are all responsible and it's a sacrifice of our limited system
Our system forbids us to see in their eyes and to talk to them
[Chorus]
If they are too weak for society, they will be isolated
The other ones get their revenge
Why can we not be happy to work with them, is this impossible?
When we meet these humand, we're afraid and they give us the creeps
But later we're happy and laugh at these innocent creatures
If we would open our minds, they could be our best friends
[Chorus]
The song "For Those Who Will Fail" by Messiah is a poignant commentary on the state of society and its treatment of individuals who are deemed weak or different. The lyrics are a scathing indictment of God, whom the artist asserts created a world that is unjust and filled with prejudice, selfishness, and inequality. The chorus "Ora, uxorem, natura" is Latin for "prayer, wife, nature," which can be interpreted as a plea for guidance, companionship, and harmony with the environment.
The verses speak to the plight of individuals who are marginalized and ostracized by society, particularly those who are deemed mentally ill or disabled. The artist argues that these individuals are often forced into isolation, robbed of their dignity and humanity, and denied a place in society. The line "our system forbids us to see in their eyes and to talk to them" is a powerful indictment of a society that is so preoccupied with its own limitations and prejudices that it cannot see the humanity in those who are different.
The song explores themes of empathy, compassion, and the need for social justice. It challenges listeners to confront their own biases and to recognize the value and worth of every human being, regardless of their abilities or limitations. It is a powerful call to action, a reminder that we all have a responsibility to create a better world for those who may be marginalized or excluded.
