Scorn
Primitive Man Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My hooves trample on their skulls
The crushing sound of intolerance
Eradication, annihilation
Exsanguination, detestation
Smothered with fucking scorn
I have news for you bastards
No one is listening
Fuck your fucking clubs
Your false sense of entitlement
Fuck your fucking fashion show
Young man, do your time
Walk a mile in my shoes
Scorn, revenge
Hate, ruin, scorn
The lyrics of Primitive Man's "Scorn" is a reflection of the intense frustration and hatred that stems from the artist's experience of the mercilessness of life. The opening line "total lack of forgiveness" sets the tone for what follows, a raging, unadulterated expression of anger and vengeance. The hooves trampling on skulls symbolize the disregard and disrespect for human life, while the "crushing sound of intolerance" highlights the hatred and lack of empathy that exists in society. The chorus repeats the word "scorn," emphasizing the depth of hate and ruin that the artist feels.
The middle section speaks about the disregard by society towards the artist's message, with the lines "I have news for you bastards, no one is listening, no one fucking cares." The frustration and anger expressed at this point reveal the futility of trying to communicate with people who are indifferent to the suffering of others. While the final section addresses the youth, suggesting that they should walk a mile in the artist's shoes and experience the scorn and ruin that he has experienced.

I don't really get into doom metal, but primitive man has definitely left me feeling as though I should. Great band and thanks for getting it out there.

@William Cutting, Doom Metal is a great genre! It is pretty stale nowadays but back then, it was fucking great.
