Deception
Taste The Steel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You sit on your ass. While others suffer.
I can't believe how high your idiocy soars, bombs are dropped on the innocent.
Act like nothing's wrong.
It's your fault so many are in the ground.
You Don't give a shit about any of us.
The war on terrorism, A sick fucking joke.
It takes thousands of deaths for you to do anything at all.
I hope you choke Mother Fucker.
Hope you choke on the blood of the innocent that you've spilt in this bullshit fucking war
The lyrics of Taste The Steel's song Deception convey a strong message of anger and frustration towards the government's handling of the war on terrorism. The opening lines, "14 million spent, 49 times, as my friends die, for your bullshit war," refers to the excessive amount of money that has been spent on the war effort, with countless American soldiers losing their lives in the process. The line "you sit on your ass while others suffer" serves as a direct attack on the government officials who make decisions and watch from the sidelines without any real perspective on the human cost of war.
The song's lyrics also highlight the alarming issue of innocent civilians becoming the victims of war as "bombs are dropped on the innocent," but the government is portrayed as turning a blind eye to the devastation they cause. When the singer says, "you don't give a shit about any of us," it's clear that he is pointing out the disconnect between the everyday lives of citizens versus the elite officials who wage war for their own interests. The persona of the song also takes aim at our leaders, calling out their deception in a time where unity and truth are crucial. The final lines, "I hope you choke Mother Fucker.//Hope you choke on the blood of the innocent that you've spilt in this bullshit fucking war," are graphic but effective in illustrating the singer's anger and utter contempt for those who have caused the death and destruction of so many.
