Mind Control
Napalm Strike Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Head in Restraints
Transmitting filth to your brain
Thinking their thought
Their words your dreams
Lucid visions silent screams
Thought Reform
Now coercive persuasions
Is in effect
Changing ideas redirect
Torture techniqes led them inside
Now your a slave
Machines take control of your brain
Visions that will drive you insane
Mind Control
They manipulate your thoughts
Slowly your brain will rot
Mind Control
You a solider of death made just to kill
Your thirst for blood never filled
Do as they say your will is lost
Mental Holocaust
Thought reform
Shame
You shoot they die
All because menticide
Killing for nothing
Dying for nothing
Nothing is left
Machines take control of your brain
Visions that will drive you insane
Mind Control
They manipulate your thoughts
Slowly your brain will rot
Mind Control
You a solider of death made just to kill
Your thirst for blood never filled
Killing for nothing
Dying for nothing
Nothing is left
Machines take control of your brain
Visions that will drive you insane
Mind Control
They manipulate your thoughts
Slowly your brain will rot
Mind Control
The Napalm Strike's song 'Mind Control' is a powerful and thought-provoking piece that discusses the dangers of brainwashing, propaganda, and coercion. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a character strapped to a chair with their head restrained while receiving messages transmitted directly into their brain. The character is in the midst of thought reform or mental conditioning, which is a technique used to manipulate one's beliefs and attitudes to match certain desired outcomes.
The song speaks to how coercive persuasion is taking effect, causing the character's ideas to be redirected, leading them into mental slavery. They become a solider of death and killing for nothing, dying for nothing, and nothing is left as their will is lost. The machines take control of the character's brain, producing visions that drive them insane, resulting in their mental and physical decay.
The song also speaks to the power of propaganda and the dangers of blindly following authority. The upbeat, fast-paced tempo of the music is a fantastic contrast with the grave message of the lyrics, which provides an added layer of emotion to the song's message.
