1. Swedish Grindcore-Band
"RTLN formed back in 1993 .. now it's been almost 15 years and thus far we've managed to produce two demos (on tape of course), five 7" eps (of which one is STILL unreleased), one 12" and 3 mcd's (and one of those is also STILL unreleased) and one full length CD. ...We would like to think that we put out some swedish quality grindcore. a bit more brutal than the rest, a little crazier than the rest. and when we put out new stuff we'd like to think that people want it. they need it. they CRAVE it. Coz it IS brutal, it IS CRAZY and goddammit it IS AWESOME! though they might not admit it now, band like Nasum and Regurgitate are influenced by us. and if THAT isn't telling you something..."

Confusion
Retaliation Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're caught up in nothing
Wasting your time in chasing stars
You live in the moment
Carried away from who you are

You're caught up in nothing
Wasting your time in chasing stars
You live in the moment

Carried away from who you are

'Cause you, you're lost in illusions
Dreams and confusion
Oh you, you keep falling faster
Straight for disaster

Lost in confusion

Lost in confusion

Overall Meaning

In Retaliation's song Confusion, the lyrics convey a message about the danger of getting caught up in the illusions of chasing unattainable goals and losing sight of who you truly are. The repetition of the lines "You're caught up in nothing / Wasting your time in chasing stars / You live in the moment / Carried away from who you are" emphasizes the theme of confusion and lost identity. The verses suggest that the subject is so wrapped up in their dreams and illusions that they are headed straight for disaster.

The chorus builds up to a climax where the subject is described as being "lost in illusions / Dreams and confusion." The word "lost" implies that they have been wandering aimlessly for some time, unable to find clarity or direction. The word "illusions" suggests that the subject has not been able to distinguish between reality and fantasy, leading to a sense of confusion and disorientation. The overall message of the song seems to be a warning against getting too caught up in one's own illusions and losing touch with one's true self.
