Pride and Purity
Nemesis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My pride it is condemned, by the ones who pull the strings.
They say that we are evil and they want to see us swing.
But I know in my heart, that what I do ain't wrong.
Because we see what others don't, that's why I write these songs

One day they shall see, that they can't change you or me.
Cause we got something that they do not, "pride and purity".
One day they shall see, that they can't change you or me.
Cause we got something that they do not, "pride and purity"

Our race is being destroyed, by the puppets of the few.
Through the TV and the papers they try to forge your views.
They tell you that we're thick and all we do is hate.
But we shall see if they change their tune,
When they're standing at the traitors gate

One day they shall see, that they can't change you or me.
Cause we got something that they do not, "pride and purity".
One day they shall see, that they can't change you or me.
Cause we got something that they do not, "pride and purity"

They want to see us banned, because we love our race.
But the traitors of my people won't meet us face to face.
Cause when I look into their eyes, I can see no guilt.
But we shall see who's laughing last when their blood begins to spill

One day they shall see, that they can't change you or me.
Cause we got something that they do not, "pride and purity".
One day they shall see, that they can't change you or me.
Cause we got something that they do not, "pride and purity".

One day they shall see, that they can't change you or me.
Cause we got something that they do not, "pride and purity".




One day they shall see, that they can't change you or me.
Cause we got something that they do not, "pride and purity"

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Nemesis's song Pride and Purity appear to be a call to arms for a white supremacist movement that is feeling threatened by those in power. The first stanza mentions the condemnation of pride by those who "pull the strings" and the desire to see them "swing". This seems to imply a desire for violent retribution against those who oppose the movement. However, the singer believes that what they are doing is not wrong because they see what others do not and that's why they write these songs. This could be seen as a justification for their beliefs and actions.


The next stanza mentions that the singer's race is being destroyed by "the puppets of the few" who control media and try to "forge your views". This seems to suggest a belief in a conspiracy to wipe out white people or at the very least, suppress their voice. They are being depicted as victims of a larger, more powerful force that is determined to silence them. The final stanza suggests that the white supremacist movement is feeling emboldened and is willing to spill blood to protect its interests.


Overall, the lyrics to Pride and Purity are disturbing and promote hatred and violence. It is a rallying cry for a movement that is willing to go to extreme measures to protect what it sees as its racial purity. It is unfortunate that such a message would resonate with anyone, and it is a reminder of how far we still have to go as a society to overcome the evils of racism.
