Formed in Norway in 2004, Panzer AG's sound combines power noise, industrial, trance, rock, gospel music and other genres to create a caustic but danceable form of music.

After experimenting with a variety of music styles, such as futurepop with Icon of Coil, as well as electro and industrial with "Combichrist", LaPlegua furthered his sound by increasing the aggressiveness of both his lyrical content and his music. Whereas Icon Of Coil and Combichrist are both pure electronica, Panzer AG combines elements of hard rock, gospel music and symphonic metal. The result was the full-length album, "This is My Battlefield" on the Metropolis Records label. The album explores the topic of corruption in government and society in a harsh and satirical manner which successfully sets Panzer AG apart from other bands in the genre.

Panzer AG followed up the success of 2004's "This is my Battlefield" with the album "Your World is Burning", released in 2006. In style, it departs somewhat from "This is My Battlefield". It is said to incorporate "more of a 'Pretty Hate Machine era' industrial rock feel."

Panzer AG Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Build of perfect destruction
I'm afraid of you anyway
Crash test dummies fill me with drugs
Let's see if I'm inflatable
You're a perfect example of my fear of humanity
Fucked up baby, got nowhere to go
I had it all, I let it go
And now I finally sold my soul

F U C K H E A D
You think my life is hell
Just because your world is burning
F U C K H E A D
You think I got your back
You never meant shit to me

Build of perfect destruction
I'm afraid of you anyway
Crash test dummies fill me with drugs
Let's see if I'm inflatable
Feel me, I am destruction, right
I'll live like an aenimal
Tension is killing my head, got to rip it off
Better off anyway with my head unchained

F U C K H E A D
You think my life is hell
Just because your world is burning
F U C K H E A D
You think I got your back
You never meant shit to me

F U C K H E A D
You think my life is hell
Just because your world is burning
F U C K H E A D
You think I got your back
You never meant shit to me

F U C K H E A D
F U C K H E A D

Build of perfect destruction
I'm afraid of you anyway
Crash test dummies fill me with drugs

Let's see if I'm inflatable
Just because your world is burning

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Panzer AG's song Aenimal can be interpreted in various ways, but at its core, it's about the fear and mistrust of humanity. The singer in the song expresses fear towards someone who represents a perfect example of their fear of humans. They feel vulnerable and like a crash test dummy, willing to take in drugs to find out if they're inflatable. The lyrics "Feel me, I am destruction, right / I'll live like an aenimal" convey a sense of desperation and resignation to the fact that living in such a world is bound to destroy them.

The chorus of the song is directed towards someone who the singer considers to have not been a true friend, someone who thinks they have the singer's back but actually never meant anything to them. They are called a "fuckhead" in a strong expletive, showing disdain and anger towards this person for their presumptuousness. The last line "Just because your world is burning" is ambiguous but it could mean that the person the singer is addressing is going through tough times but that doesn't justify them projecting their negativity onto others.

Overall, Aenimal is a song that expresses a deep mistrust of people, and the pain and loneliness that comes with it. The lyrics are straightforward but loaded with emotion, enhanced by the powerful industrial music that accompanies them.

Line by Line Meaning

Build of perfect destruction
I am a product of chaotic destruction

I'm afraid of you anyway
Despite my dangerous nature, I fear you Humans

Crash test dummies fill me with drugs
I'm fueled by substances similar to those found in crash test dummies

Let's see if I'm inflatable
I wonder if I can be controllable or molded into something new

You're a perfect example of my fear of humanity
You embody the dangers and faults of humanity that I fear

Fucked up baby, got nowhere to go
I'm lost and in a dark place, with no direction or purpose

I had it all, I let it go
I once had control over my life, but I relinquished it

And now I finally sold my soul
I've sacrificed everything, even my own morality, for my current state

F U C K H E A D
A derogatory term to address someone who is insignificant to me

You think my life is hell
You assume my existence is miserable because of what you see

Just because your world is burning
Your own chaotic world does not reflect mine
