Shrapnel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lessons taught to us on TV screens
Racial hatred from Hollywood supremes
Skeletal remains spread the disease
Force fed hunger, intelligence suppressed
The youth a brainwashed fucking mess
Hopeful failures, hopeless society
Following the trends of the free
Ha!
Braindead! Do exactly as you're told
Braindead! The lights are out and no one's home
(Solo)
Braindead!
Prostitute ambitions
Braindead!
Society distressed
Braindead!
Subjects of lobotomy
Braindead!
The only way is execution
The only way is execution
The only way is execution
Just a fucking brainless pack of cunts!
Wealth from failure, never earn your way
Get paid from the stupid shit you say
Alpha male impressions, steroid-ridden freak
Your mouth spews ignorance, think before you speak
Braindead! Do exactly as you're told
Braindead! The lights are out and no one's home
The song "Braindead" by Shrapnel speaks about the current state of society, where young people are brainwashed by what they see on TV and what they hear from their idols. Spoilt rotten teens have dreams of limousines, but their intelligence is suppressed and they become a brainwashed, fucking mess. The lyrics also speak about the negative influence of Hollywood supremes who spread racial hatred, leading to the spread of disease and the distress of society. Shrapnel is criticizing the trend of following what's popular without critically thinking about the consequences. The chorus reinforces the idea of being braindead, as people mindlessly do what they are told and follow the masses.
The song highlights the issue of societal decay and decay of morals, where people are encouraged to follow their dreams without working hard and earning their wealth. The the message of the song is straightforward – braindead, unintelligent people who follow trends, consume media blindly, and lack empathy for others are a significant problem in society. Despite its harsh words and sharp sound, "Braindead" speaks to a real-world issue, and its message is worth taking seriously.
