Total War
Non Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Throw out Christ and bring back Thor?
Do you want total war
Unleash the beast in man once more?
Do you want total war
Dance and do the lion's roar?
Do you want total war?
Yes, you want total war!
Yes, you want total war!
Do you want total war
To see life's will return once more?
Do you want might to prevail
To kick aside the weak and frail?
To smite your foes that they might die
To splatter blood across the sky?
Do you want total war?
Do you want total war?
Yes, you want total war!
Yes, you want total war!
Do you want to rise and kill
To show the world an iron will?
Do you want to stand and fight
To rip asunder this pallid night?
All return the will of man
Let it burn and start again
Do you want total war?
Do you want total war?
Yes, you want total war!
Yes, you want total war!
The lyrics to Non's song "Total War" are a call to arms, inviting the listener to embrace a violent and primal state of being. The repeated question "Do you want total war?" is a challenge to the audience, daring them to reject societal norms and embrace chaos. By urging the listener to "throw out Christ and bring back Thor," Non is encouraging a return to pagan, pre-Christian values. This rejection of Christianity is often associated with far-right and white supremacist movements, as well as a rejection of modern Western values.
The overall message of the song is one of violent rebellion and destruction. Non seems to glorify brutality and domination, with lines like "to kick aside the weak and frail" and "to smite your foes that they might die." The call to "let it burn and start again" suggests a desire to destroy the old world order and start anew. The lyrics could be interpreted as a rejection of modern society and a desire to return to a more primal state of existence, one where strength and violence are valued above all else.
