Control
Napalm Death䐀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Inside of you
Controlling your life
And what you do
Fascist control
There is a fascist
Controlling your thoughts
Until your dead
Fascist control
The lyrics of Napalm Death's song "Control" address the concept of internalized fascism, stating that there is a fascist presence within the listener that controls their life and thoughts. The term "fascist" is often associated with totalitarian regimes, but the song suggests that anyone can succumb to this type of control, including individuals who believe in freedom and equality. The first verse refers to the fascist control over one's actions, while the second verse focuses on the control over one's thoughts, suggesting that even after death, the fascist influence persists.
The repetition of the phrase "fascist control" throughout the song emphasizes the power and omnipresence of this force. The use of harsh, aggressive instrumentation and guttural vocals further conveys a sense of anger and frustration towards the idea of internalized fascism. The lyrics encourage listeners to recognize this presence within themselves and actively resist it, advocating for personal freedom and autonomy.
