For Those Who Will Fail
Messiah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

God created a world, a world of injustice, a world of distrust
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]

Overall Meaning

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.
