Secured Limitations
Morbid Angel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You created this thing you call sin
a guide for the undisciplined sheep
Through the pain and denial the pleasure reaped
A freedom contained within a shell
And all that's without you call hell
You scorn our existence
unclean despising our ways
and the random perplexing the fled
Behind the walls of concrete, they hide
Secured limitations
For our ways, disheveling your hold
From uncertainties the god-mind knows
But you can't, through the concrete
And from the nothingness, all the wines flow
The affluence, the-mother's gift
You scorn our existence
Unclean despising our ways
shall the unclean come and inflect you
For the heathens have chosen a different light
for the freedoms and prisons are in the mind
And the vision of the all through the inner sight
Secured limitations
From the uncertainties the god-mind knows
And from the nothingness all the wines flow
The affluence, the god-mother's gift
But you can't see, through the concrete
The song "Secured Limitations" by Morbid Angel is a critique of societal restrictions and limitations that prevent people from experiencing true freedom. The lyrics suggest that individuals are bound by concrete walls and societal norms that control their actions and limit their potential. The "secured limitations" mentioned in the song refer to these societal restrictions, which are presented as a form of imprisonment.
The opening line "You created this thing you call sin" refers to the idea that societal norms are arbitrary constructs created by humans to govern behavior. The lyrics suggest that these rules are not inherent truths, but rather societal constructs that have been instilled in individuals since birth. The following lines criticize the idea that these limitations are necessary for society to function, arguing that they are actually a way to control the masses.
The lyrics suggest that there is a pleasure to be gained from breaking free of these societal limitations, but that this freedom is contained within a shell. This is a reference to the fact that even when individuals break free from societal norms, they are still limited by their own personal limitations and experiences. The song suggests that societal restrictions create a "hell" for those who do not fit within the mold.
The reference to "god-mind" suggests that the societal restrictions presented in the song are often justified by religious or moral principles. The lyrics suggest that these principles are arbitrary and limit individual potential. The line "For the heathens have chosen a different light" suggests that those who do not conform to societal norms are often ostracized and demonized by mainstream society.
Overall, "Secured Limitations" is a scathing critique of the limitations placed on individuals by society. The lyrics suggest that these societal restrictions limit individual potential and create a "hell" for those who do not fit within the mold.
