What We Create
Sisters Of Suffocation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take a brand new soul
Put it in a school
The indoctrination factory
Guarantees all doom
The bullies of the mind
Will beat you ‘til you bow
Fucked up physically
Tortured mentally

And yet you wonder
How we got this fucked up
While we went to your schools
This is what you taught us

Information punched
Deep into their brain
By an army of psychos
That you underpay
Following a path
Based on cynic grades
Pressure to perform
Craving for success

And yet you wonder
How we got this fucked up
While we went to your schools
This is what you taught us

Can you feel the anger
Running through your veins?
Working for a future
Tangled in your chains

Oh

Can you feel the pressure
Filling up your plate
Dying on the inside
This is what we create

And yet you wonder
How we got this fucked up
While we went to your schools
This is what you taught us

Prodigal son
Triumphant return
Master of your lessons
Coming for revenge
Mind is melting down
Criminally insane




Walk the halls of high school
Shooting people

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sisters of Suffocation's song What We Create touch on the negative impacts of the education system on individuals, particularly on their mental health. The opening lines reference a "brand new soul" being placed in a "school," which is described as an "indoctrination factory" that "guarantees all doom." The "bullies of the mind" are described as tormentors who "beat you 'til you bow" and cause physical and mental torture.


The lyrics then delve further into the damaging effects of the education system, with "psychos" who are underpaid and tasked with forcing "information" deep into students' brains. Students are then pressured to "follow a path based on cynical grades" and have an unhealthy "craving for success." The chorus repeats the lines "And yet you wonder, how we got this fucked up, while we went to your schools, this is what you taught us."


The song continues to describe the anger running through someone's veins as they work for a future tangled in chains, describing the pressure that fills up their plate and makes them feel like they're "dying on the inside." The final verse speaks to the idea of a "prodigal son" who returns and takes revenge, perhaps referencing the sense of alienation and frustration caused by the education system and the potential for that to manifest in violent ways.
