OUTBREAK
Stray from the Path Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pushing weight, white coats are selling shit
You get lost in it
You fall victim to the cause of it
You're the reason they make money from it
Campaign of fear from year to year
But I don't think we're seeing crystal clear
Filled with doubt as you cover your mouth
Outbreak, subliminal criminals, fuck this system
Outbreak, subliminal criminals, fuck this system
Pandemonium, a modern dose of phobia
Up in a house, medications got a hold of ya
Face your fate, section eight
Outsnake the pusher
The elite got you hooked in a chemical state
Cancer causing capital
The people turned to animals
The poison is the antidote
Lab coat killer, hundred dollar biller
Automatically ill, bank roll filler
Outbreak, subliminal criminals, fuck this system
Lab coat killer, hundred dollar biller
Automatically ill, bank roll filler
Outbreak, subliminal criminals, fuck this system
Outbreak, subliminal criminals, fuck this system
The lyrics to Stray from the Path's song "OUTBREAK" criticize the corrupt pharmaceutical industry and its manipulation of the public. The song starts by describing how information is broadcasted from a room filled with lies and manipulation. The "white coats" symbolize scientists and doctors who are promoting harmful drugs for profit. The lyrics highlight how people become lost and victims of this system, unknowingly contributing to the financial success of these companies. The repeated line, "Campaign of fear from year to year," suggests that fear is intentionally propagated to maintain control over the public.
The chorus, "Outbreak, subliminal criminals, fuck this system," expresses the frustration and rebellion against these deceitful tactics. The word "outbreak" suggests a metaphorical epidemic, representing the spreading awareness and resistance against the corrupt system. The following line, "a modern dose of phobia," criticizes the over-prescription of medications and the resulting fear-driven society. The medications, represented by the phrase "medications got a hold of ya," are portrayed as controlling and manipulating individuals.
The lyrics continue to describe the elite class as the ones pulling the strings, keeping people hooked on drugs, and profiting from their suffering. The references to a "lab coat killer" and a "hundred dollar biller" imply that these individuals, though appearing respectable, are responsible for causing harm and amassing wealth. The song ultimately calls for defiance against the system and urges listeners to reject the manipulation and lies being fed to them.

Nighty Explosive not at all. Save that for politic influenced punk. Hardcore was meant to be a self-expression of emotional views about yourself and your life. These fucktards just want to hop on the bandwagon of leftist trends, and they fail miserably at it. They side with people that will ruin society with their horseshit agenda if we let them, that's just facts, and if you knew anything about politics, you would know this. Nothing HAS to go against the government, they're just making the wrong choice. Sit your uneducated ass down.
NIGHTLESS EXPLOSIVE
Alex Tuozzo with this music it's obvious it has to go against fucking governament.
Your reasons are dumb af.

Nighty Explosive check their newest single "goodnight alt-right". If you still think I have problems after that, then unfortunately, you're the one with problems.
NIGHTLESS EXPLOSIVE
Alex Tuozzo ........you have some problem
