Born to Lose
Stained Ashes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just to pass the time
Blind leading the blind
So the drones will stay in line
Candy coated haulocauste
The whole family can enjoy
Blind faith has no cure
The whole world we've got in store
You tell me I was born to lose
This hate gave us the powere to choose
You swear I was born to lose
This hate gave us the world to lose
You know it seems like every fucking time
I turn around and look back at my life
I always knew I was born to fucking lose
Left to die and be used by fucks like you
Born to lose
You tell me I was born to lose
This hate gave us the powere to choose
You swear I was born to lose
This hate gave us the world to lose
The lyrics to Stained Ashes's song Born to Lose delve into themes of hopelessness, blind faith, and societal control. The opening lines, "Dancing on a land mine, just to pass the time, blind leading the blind, so the drones will stay in line," suggest that society is essentially self-destructive, with people senselessly taking risks and following each other towards disaster. The line "Candy-coated holocaust" suggests that even terrible things can be made palatable or enjoyable, pointing to a lack of moral clarity and purpose.
The repeated refrain, "You tell me I was born to lose," suggests a sense of hopelessness or futility in the face of a corrupt society. Self-determination and individual choice are presented as meaningless, with the existence of "hate" seemingly the only apparent power available to make an impact. The final lines, "Left to die and be used by fucks like you, born to lose," further emphasize the idea of individual powerlessness and victimhood.
