Dödsmaskin
Skitsystem Lyrics

The lyrics to Skitsystem's song "Dödsmaskin" describe the dehumanization and desensitization of individuals during times of war, as they are turned into emotionless killing machines. The first line, "Du omvandlas till en känslokall maskin" (You are transformed into an emotionless machine), speaks to this transformation. The next line, "Dör för dem i deras meningslösa krig" (Dying for them in their meaningless war), highlights the idea that individuals are dying for a cause they may not truly believe in or understand, simply because they have been turned into a "krigsmaskin" or "dödsmaskin" (war machine or death machine).

The second half of the verse focuses on the endless chaos and destruction that war brings. "Ett brinnande helvete utan slut" (A burning hell without end) is a powerful metaphor for the unrelenting nature of war. The next line, "Född till en slav i deras terrorsystem" (Born as a slave in their terror system), references the idea that some individuals are brought into the system of war only to be trapped and controlled by it. The final line, "Kriget har inget slut, kriget har ingen ände" (The war has no end, the war has no limit) highlights the ongoing nature of war, and the idea that as long as individuals continue to be turned into "krigsmaskiner" and "dödsmaskiner," conflict will continue.

Overall, the lyrics of "Dödsmaskin" serve as a commentary on the dehumanization and endless destruction that comes with war, as well as the power of those in control to turn individuals into uncaring, emotionless machines.
