Soulfly incorporates many styles of metal with Brazilian tribal and world music. All of their first six studio albums debuted on the United States Billboard 200, with a peak position at number 32 for their second album, Primitive. Soulfly has been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America. The band has gone through numerous line-up changes, with Cavalera being the only constant member.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't give a fuck
They don't give a fuck
Get back in the front
I don't give a fuck
You don't give a fuck
We don't give a fuck
No one to trust
Just blood in the dust
Things just getting worse
Worse, worse, and worse
You kill, no remorse
You die, for what cause
They kill, no remorse
They die, for what cause
Back to the
Back to the
Back to the front lines
Back to the
Back to the
Back to the front lines
I don't give a fuck
You don't give a fuck
They don't give a fuck
Get back in the front
I don't give a fuck
You don't give a fuck
We don't give a fuck
Get back to the front
At war, once more
Peace is another sign that falls
I didn't want to be in war
But it follows me once more
For what, I don't know
I don't understand
Can you tell me who has won?
When nothing remains
Back to the
Back to the
Back to the front lines
Back to the
Back to the
Back to the front lines
Back da fuck up now
Shut da fuck up now
Back to da front now
Back to the front lines
The lyrics to Soulfly's song Frontlines convey a sense of anger, frustration, and resignation in the face of war. The repeated lines "I don't give a fuck, you don't give a fuck, they don't give a fuck" underscore the feeling of detachment from the violence and destruction that surrounds them. The call to "get back to the front" emphasizes the cycle of violence that plays out in war, wherein people are continually sent back into the fray even though they may not want to be there.
The chorus "Back to the front lines" is a direct reference to Metallica's song "Disposable Heroes", which also deals with the theme of soldiers being sent back into battle like disposable objects. The lines "No one to trust, just blood in the dust, things just getting worse, worse, worse, and worse" give a sense of hopelessness in the face of the chaos of war. The lines "You kill, no remorse, you die, for what cause" highlight the senseless violence that takes place in war and the fact that people on both sides are dying without really knowing why.
Overall, the message of the song is quite clear: war is a destructive force that causes suffering and pain for everyone involved, and it is often perpetuated by people who don't really care about the consequences. The call to "get back to the front" is not a glorification of war, but rather a recognition that it is an ongoing reality that people must deal with, whether they want to or not.

Shut da fuck up now
Be quiet and listen carefully
Back to da front now
Return to the front lines and prepare for the next battle
Back to the front lines
Resume fighting in the midst of war
