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 ↴
(At first, you made me listen)
You made me listen
(I cannot play your frequency)
I cannot play
(I suppose it was a lesson)
Your frequency
(Cracking fingers, I can hear it)
(My nails stucked in the wall)
It was a lesson
(Teared off, my feet in concrete)
Eyes
(Eyes shut tight
I just might start listening
A million wishes)
Eyes shut tight
I just might start listening
(A million wishes)
My nails stucked in the wall
Teared off
(A million wishes)
At first, you made me listen
I cannot play
(A million wishes)
Your frequency
(A million wishes)
I've poisoned your heart, can you forgive me?
The ground is open beneath my feet
I've killed our children for convenience
I clench my body to the roots of a tree
At first, you made me listen
(At first, you made me listen)
I cannot play your frequency
(I cannot play your frequency)
I suppose it was a lesson
(I suppose it was a lesson)
Cracking fingers
(Cracking fingers)
I can hear it
(I can hear it)
My nails stucked in the wall
Teared off, my feet in concrete
Eyes shut tight
I just might start listening
(A million wishes)
A million wishes
(A million wishes)
A million wishes
(A million wishes)
A million wishes
Eyes shut tight
(A million wishes)
(A million wishes)
I've poisoned your heart, can you forgive me?
The ground is open beneath my feet
I've killed our children for our convenience
I clench my body to the roots of a tree
I've poisoned your heart, can you forgive me?
The ground is open beneath my feet
I've killed our children for convenience
I clench my body to the roots of a tree
I've poisoned your heart, can you forgive me?
The ground is open beneath my feet
I've killed our children for all convenience
I clench my body to the roots of a tree
The song "Mother" by Panzer AG is a haunting tale of regret and guilt. The lyrics paint a picture of a person who is struggling to come to terms with the consequences of their actions. The opening lines "At first, you made me listen, I cannot play your frequency, I suppose it was a lesson" suggest that the person was forced to listen to something that they did not want to hear. The reference to a "lesson" implies that this experience was meant to teach them something, although it is not entirely clear what that lesson was.
The following lines describe physical pain, with references to "cracking fingers" and "my nails stuck in the wall". This adds to the sense of discomfort and unease that pervades the song. The repetition of the phrase "a million wishes" suggests a longing for something that is out of reach. The line "I've poisoned your heart, can you forgive me?" is a clear admission of guilt. The reference to killing "our children for convenience" is particularly chilling, as it implies a willingness to sacrifice others for personal gain.
The final lines, "I clench my body to the roots of a tree", suggest a desire for stability and connection with nature. This can be interpreted as an attempt to find redemption or solace after the terrible acts that the person has committed. Overall, the song is a powerful exploration of human frailty and the destructive consequences of our actions.
