(lyrics by Patricia)

"Be bloody, bold, and resolute; laugh to scorn
The power of man; for none of woman born
Shall harm...(Suturn)!

Come, you spirits
That tend me on mortal thoughts, unsex me here
And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full
Of direst cruelty. Make thick my blood;
Stop up the access and passage to remorse,
That no compunctious visitings of nature
Shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between
The effect and it."
(Shakespeare's Macbeth)

A sickness inside of me
And inside of the world
And you?
You're above all that
Trying to mess all around
Because of your stupid pride.
And I hate it.
I hate it all.




I hate everything.
All...

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of the song Nausea by ThanatoSchizO, "Be bloody, bold, and resolute; laugh to scorn the power of man; for none of woman born shall harm...(Saturn)!," are a direct reference to a speech from Shakespeare's Macbeth. This speech is a call to action for Macbeth to bring about his own destiny, despite the odds. The reference is significant because it conveys a sense of empowerment and decisiveness, while also invoking a sense of darkness and dread. The next few lines of the song continue in this vein, with the singer describing a sense of sickness within herself, and within the world.


The reference to Macbeth creates a sense of dramatic tension in the song, as if the singer is some sort of tragic hero or antihero, grappling with a sense of purpose or fate. The line "And you? You're above all that / Trying to mess all around / Because of your stupid pride" suggests that there is someone in the singer's life who is trying to manipulate or control her, but who is ultimately driven by a sense of arrogance or hubris. The phrase "stupid pride" is particularly powerful, as it suggests that the other person's motives are not noble, but rather are rooted in vanity or selfishness.


Ultimately, the song seems to be about a deep sense of disillusionment and nihilism. The final lines, "I hate everything. All..." convey a sense of hopelessness and despair, as if the singer has given up on the world and on her own ability to change it. The use of the word "nausea" in the song's title reflects this sense of sickness, and suggests that the singer is overwhelmed by a sense of existential dread.
