Total Abuse
Nephenzy Chaos Order Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feed your flesh, cut it up
Mental relapse, total abuse
Burning skin, torture lust
Rip, cut, and open wide
Blood, flesh, from my veins
Lust of death in my mind
Total Abuse - of a human mind
Total Abuse - end of mankind
Total Abuse - refuse and die
Total Abuse - total control
Grip, pull, and tear it out
Self-destruction, human waste
Discipline, punishment
Stick it out you dirty cunt
The lyrics of Nephenzy Chaos Order's song "Total Abuse" are very intense and graphic in their imagery. The overall theme of the song suggests the idea of sadomasochism and how one can derive pleasure from inflicting pain upon oneself or others. The opening lines "Long for death, kill your pain, feed your flesh, cut it up" suggest a cry for death as a form of relief from the pain.
The phrase "Mental relapse, total abuse" highlights the idea that once an individual falls into the dark side of masochism, there is no coming back as their mind has already been abused. The chorus, "Total Abuse - of a human mind, Total Abuse - end of mankind, Total Abuse - refuse and die, Total Abuse - total control," is very bleak and indicates how embracing masochism can lead to the ultimate demise of an individual and can even cause the destruction of society.
The lines, "Rip, cut, and open wide, Blood, flesh, from my veins, Lust of death in my mind, Pleasure, pain, pleasure lust," evoke very vivid imagery of cutting and bleeding oneself in a ritualistic manner, as the pleasure derived from it is akin to lust. The last line "Stick it out you dirty cunt" is particularly disturbing as it promotes demeaning and misogynistic behavior towards women.
Overall, the song is a dark dive into the world of masochism and the effects it can have on both an individual and society as a whole.
