Why?
Total Chaos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You selfish bastard
Disgrace to the human race
With your domination and power
Your spitting in our faces
Feel what is real equality and unity
Your kind has no place

You're not the antidote
Your the infection





You are all wrong
You don't belong

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Total Chaos's song "Why?" express a strong message of anger and frustration towards those who hold positions of power and use it to dominate and subjugate others. The song comes across as a scathing critique of the ruling elite and their oppressive ways. The opening lines, "You selfish bastard, disgrace to the human race" set a tone of condemnation towards the subject of the song. The lyrics suggest that those in power are arrogant and self-centered, and that their actions are causing great harm to society at large.


The lines "You're not the antidote, your the infection" are particularly poignant, as they suggest that the very people who are supposed to be helping society are in fact causing it harm. The song appears to be a call to arms for those who have been oppressed and marginalized to rise up against their oppressors and demand justice. The lyrics are bold and uncompromising, leaving little room for interpretation.
