This is Your Anthem
Twiztid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is your saving grace turn up your music
Welcome to a brand new hate
This is your anthem
Time to take your life back
Turn up your music
This is your life's soundtrack
People who'd rather die
Than to live long enough to
Fall victim to suicide
They've been stripped of all but pride
In a shell of they former self
Become captive to the weakness
Too afraid to ask for help
Out of reach, no one hears their opinion
They never speak
They persist to treat the world like
A dream as if they're asleep
They're convinced that everyone is above
And ridin' it beneath
Is where they belong and always were
And will remain to be never believe
Their eyes are too closed to ever see
Like cataracts
All they see is silhouettes of reality
You never known cause you've never been
On the inside, always outside lookin' in
And that's fakin' to pretend that you're
Knowin' just how it feels
Cause it's always the phony ones that's
Tellin' you keep it real
And it's always the lonely ones that's
Beggin' you not to go
But life is too fast to live that shit slow
I'm disgraceful and hateful
Spreading evil like wings of an angel
The second coming of a saved soul
And I got problems by the payload
I swear to God
I must be related to Failing and Betrayal
You want a change, I got a faceful!
But mister so afraid of anything
That ain't the same, so
I get so mad I wanna strangle
I've had enough of the same-old
The industry is nothing but a
Rerun of a gameshow
I refrain from entertaining the lame folk
But if your looking for something different
I'm what you came for
I'm like pressure on your brain, go insane
Like Violent J and Shaggy 2
Dope were in my veins
I can't help it if everybody around me
Is building it from the ground and
We rollin' in like an army
With the strength of a million
Juggalos standing beside me
And you really gotta look in
The darkness to find me
In "This is Your Anthem" by Twiztid, the lyrics speak to those who feel marginalized and unseen in society. The song acknowledges the struggles of individuals who would rather die than succumb to the pressures of life, including thoughts of suicide. These people have been stripped of their sense of self, but still hold on to their pride. They find themselves trapped in their own weaknesses and fear reaching out for help.
The lyrics highlight the isolation and invisibility that these individuals feel, as their opinions go unheard and they are unable to speak up. They view the world as a dream, as if they are asleep, and believe that they will always be beneath others. Their closed eyes prevent them from seeing the reality around them, leaving only vague outlines as their perception. The song suggests that those who have not experienced this internal struggle can never truly comprehend the depth of emotion involved.
The second part of the song delves into the personal struggles of the artist. They express feelings of disgrace and hatred, likening themselves to an angel spreading evil. They identify with failure and betrayal, indicating a personal connection to these negative experiences. They understand the desire for change, but also address the fear that comes with stepping outside of what is familiar.
They express their frustration with the repetitiveness of the music industry, comparing it to a tired game show. The artist distances themselves from entertaining the masses who are content with the same old things. They present themselves as something different, something worth seeking out. They carry the weight of pressure, referencing the influence of other artists, but assert their own uniqueness.
The lyrics also touch on the power of community and finding strength in numbers. The artist refers to the camaraderie of Juggalos, dedicated fans of the Insane Clown Posse, who stand together as an army. The darkness is mentioned as the place where the artist is found, possibly suggesting that their music addresses the darker, more hidden aspects of life that many people can resonate with.
Overall, "This is Your Anthem" speaks to the struggles of feeling invisible, the desire for change, and the strength found in unity and shared experiences. The lyrics explore themes of personal battles, societal expectations, and the search for authenticity in a world that often feels mundane and repetitive.
