The Spectre And His Mantra
Stray from the Path Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blah, blah, blah
Watch this confidence
Watch this conspiracy
I see you fail me
Watch this
Watch this
Watch this
Take good notes
I said, "now watch me kill you"
Watch this
Take good notes
Watch
The lyrics to Stray From the Path's song The Spectre And His Mantra showcase a sense of aggression and frustration towards the state of society. The opening line, "Put a hole in your brain," can be interpreted as a call for people to open their minds and think critically instead of blindly following what they're being told. The repeated phrase "Watch this" can be seen as a challenge to those who may not believe in the same ideas as the singer. The mention of confidence and conspiracy alludes to a government or powerful entity withholding information from the general public, causing frustration and distrust. The line "I see you fail me" suggests a feeling of betrayal by those in power who are not acting in the best interest of the people.
As the song continues, the aggression and frustration increase. The lines "I said, 'now watch me kill you'" can be seen as a metaphor for killing the ignorance and complacency within society. The repeated phrase "Watch this, take good notes" emphasizes the importance of paying attention and being informed.
