Predator
TOTALFAT Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can you believe in your flaming soul?
Burn all your grasses if you are in doubt
You should go back to where you were born
So stay alive
Don't be a grass eater

Oh!!
Right now!! Stand out to be free

Oh!!
Kill all the grass eaters

Oh!!
I am the predator!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Predator by TOTALFAT are highly symbolic and can be interpreted in different ways. The opening line "Can you believe in your flaming soul?" can be seen as a call to action, urging the listener to tap into their inner strength and passion. The line "Burn all your grasses if you are in doubt" is a metaphor for letting go of doubts and fears that hold one back from achieving greatness. The next line, "You should go back to where you were born", can be seen as a reminder of one's roots and inner strength, suggesting that by going back to where we started, we can rediscover our true selves.

The pre-chorus and chorus of the song, "Stay alive, Don't be a grass eater" and "Oh! Right now! Stand out to be free, Oh! Kill all the grass eaters, Oh! I am the predator!" respectively, carry a more straightforward message. They urge the listener to stand out, be brave, and not give in to societal pressures to conform (i.e., be a "grass eater"). The chorus emphasizes the need to be the "predator" – the one who takes control, makes things happen and does not let others dictate our lives.
