Last Mistake
The Berzerker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The box was taken to the edge of the earth
There it will be safe from all the evils that exist on this world
To feel all of life has been talked about
you're in trouble
You've got yourself to blame
Forces are pushing away
With forty people
You fought to free your demons
He tested your mind
To be the leader
Shame made you crawl back again from me to breathe
And be a man.
Born without the concept of hate
Taught to act afraid
I've seen your last mistake
Start to learn though pain
What you taken before's
What you mustn't break
I've seen you last mistake
There has to be a better way
Better way
I need more power to hate
Turned around by failure
I've seen you last mistake
Turned around by:
Man's brutality and his in-inability in feel empathy,
with misery is one of mankind worst sins
it is the very basis of human degradation,
and if man can create so much suffering,
what right does he have to complain when he himself suffers?
Born without the concept of hate
Taught to act afraid
I see your last mistake
Carved in my sore head
Thought that people would learn
But to my surprise
I've seen your last mistake
We have to find a better way

A better way
I need more power to hate
Turned around by failure




I've seen you last mistake
Turned around by:

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Berzerker's song "Last Mistake" revolve around the concept of human degradation and the consequences of our actions. The first few lines suggest that a box has been taken to the edge of the earth to protect it from the evils of the world. This could be seen as a metaphor for the desire to protect something valuable from the destructive forces of society.


The later verses suggest that the singer is struggling with personal demons and is being pushed away by external forces. The line "shame made you crawl back again from me to breathe and be a man" implies that the singer is trying to regain his self-respect and masculinity after a period of weakness. The chorus repeats the phrase "I've seen your last mistake" and suggests that the singer has come to a realization about the error of their ways and the need to find a better way.


The overall message of the song seems to be a call for empathy and understanding, suggesting that the root cause of much of human degradation is a lack of empathy and the inability to understand the suffering of others. The tone of the lyrics is angry and confrontational, suggesting that the singer has been personally affected by the harms of society and is determined to fight back against it.

Ten years on, this still remains one of my all-time favourite songs and fave Berzerker track. It feels great to return to this album - I have so many excellent memories of learning the guitar riffs and getting to grips with Industrial metal and Death metal guitaring.
I think this band were greatly underappreciated, and whilst I never really listened to much after Dissimulate (and couldn't get into World Of Lies AT ALL) - I still think this is an amazing album.

I haven't heard much of The Berzerker after this album, but it surely is brutal as fuck!
