Némesis
Nu-Nation Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody wants to live in a lie
But why should we delude ourselves?
It's not as if we can't see something's wrong
Where's the duty to what's right?
Intentions end with empty words
And chaos replaces order

Those who shout loudest impose their will

Upholding laws that serve a few
Declaring peace while the sirens sing
In the name of progress,
In the name of madness
Drum beats faster
Crowd shouts louder
And chaos replaces order

I want justice for a voice that can't be heard
Vindication for every suffering and hurt
Let retribution hold dominion over earth
Because judgement day's not coming Judgement day's not coming
Soon enough

Because judgement day's not coming
Because judgement day's not coming
Because judgement day's not coming
Because judgement day's not coming
Soon enough

I want justice for a voice that can't be heard
Vindication for every suffering and hurt
Let retribution hold dominion over earth
Because judgement day's not coming Judgement day's not coming

I want justice for a voice that can't be heard
Vindication for every suffering and hurt
Let retribution hold dominion over earth
Because judgement day's not coming Judgement day's not coming
Soon enough

Soon enough

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Nu-Nation's song "Nemesis" convey a deep sense of discontentment with the state of society and an underlying desire for justice. The song begins by pointing out how many people choose to live in denial, pretending that everything is fine despite the obvious signs that something is wrong. The lyrics question why we should delude ourselves when we can clearly see the problems around us. There is a sense of frustration with the lack of responsibility and accountability in society, as intentions often end with empty words and chaos replaces order.

The song then shifts its focus to those in power who impose their will on others. Nu-Nation criticizes the laws that only serve a few, proclaiming that peace is declared while sirens continue to sound in the background. This contradiction speaks to the hypocrisy and lack of true progress in the world. The drum beats become faster, and the crowd shouts louder, reflecting the growing unrest and chaos that replaces any semblance of order.

The chorus expresses a strong desire for justice and vindication. The lyrics yearn for a world where the voiceless are heard, and all the suffering and hurt are acknowledged and addressed. Nu-Nation calls for retribution to hold dominion over the earth, implying a need for consequences for those who have caused harm. The repetition of "judgment day's not coming soon enough" emphasizes the urgency and impatience for accountability and a reckoning to occur.

In summary, "Nemesis" by Nu-Nation is a song that critiques the state of society and the lack of justice. It highlights the tendency for people to live in denial and the imbalance of power that allows for the imposition of unjust laws. The lyrics call for a world where the voiceless are heard and retribution takes place, expressing frustration with the slow pace of change.

Line by Line Meaning

Everybody wants to live in a lie
Everyone desires to deceive themselves and live in a false reality

But why should we delude ourselves?
However, there is no reason for us to deceive ourselves

It's not as if we can't see something's wrong
We are aware that something is amiss

Where's the duty to what's right?
But where is our responsibility to do what is morally correct?

Intentions end with empty words
Our intentions result in hollow promises

And chaos replaces order
And disorder takes the place of structure

Those who shout loudest impose their will
The individuals who yell the most assert their authority

Upholding laws that serve a few
Enforcing laws that benefit only a select few

Declaring peace while the sirens sing
Claiming peace while the alarms blare

In the name of progress, In the name of madness
In the pursuit of advancement, in the pursuit of insanity

Drum beats faster
The rhythm intensifies

Crowd shouts louder
The crowd voices their opinions more fervently

And chaos replaces order
And disorder takes the place of structure

I want justice for a voice that can't be heard
I desire fairness for those whose voices are silenced

Vindication for every suffering and hurt
Redemption for all who have endured pain and suffering

Let retribution hold dominion over earth
Allow punishment to reign over the world

Because judgement day's not coming Judgement day's not coming Soon enough
Because the day of reckoning is not approaching rapidly enough

I want justice for a voice that can't be heard
I desire fairness for those whose voices are silenced

Vindication for every suffering and hurt
Redemption for all who have endured pain and suffering

Let retribution hold dominion over earth
Allow punishment to reign over the world

Because judgement day's not coming Judgement day's not coming
Because the day of reckoning is not approaching rapidly enough

Soon enough
In the near future
