to live and die for no one's name
Useless ID Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another person has collapsed
And for the fuckin′ same ideals
Another life society steals
Patriotic in his heart
A short brainwash and it's a fact
That every youngster starts to believe
That for a country he must kill
And I could never understand
What the fuck is wrong with them
Are they so damned blind to see
That their cause is a disease
Well, they can′t fuckin' know what's right
Religion injected to their minds
It′s a circle with no way out
Why they can′t fuckin' live without
A need to follow someone else′s rules
With covered eyes like a bunch of fools
How could they be so goddamn lame
Just live and die for no one's name
And out there, all over the world
There are still people who think
That religion should be a guide
A subject above all
Well, I can′t see a point in that
Because all I see religion cause
Is wars and hatred
Stop it before it's too late
The song "To Live and Die for No One's Name" by Useless ID is a poignant commentary on the destructive nature of blind adherence to misguided ideals fueled by religion or patriotism. The first verse describes the loss of another life to society's normalized expectations and portrays how these values are drilled into the minds of impressionable young people until they believe that killing for their country is necessary. The second verse challenges this notion head-on, with the singer asking how people can be so blind to the fact that going to war or killing in the name of one's beliefs only perpetuates hatred and destruction.
Furthermore, the song explores the idea that religion serves as a negative influence on society, as it often leads to wars and violence. Rather than being a guide, religion becomes a subject above all, taking precedence over human life and causing division among people. The singer concludes with a plea for people to stop this harmful cycle before it is too late.
Overall, "To Live and Die for No One's Name" is a powerful song that sheds light on the dangerous nature of blindly following ideologies that only cause harm and division. It encourages people to question their beliefs and to live for something greater than one's name or nationality.

Another short look at the set
Another brief observation of the situation
Another person has collapsed
Another individual has fallen victim to societal pressures
And for the fuckin′ same ideals
And for the same goddamn beliefs
Another life society steals
Society takes away another life
Patriotic in his heart
A strong sense of love for his country
A short brainwash and it's a fact
A quick indoctrination and it becomes truth
That every youngster starts to believe
Every young person begins to think
That for a country he must kill
That killing for one's country is necessary
And I could never understand
And I could never comprehend
What the fuck is wrong with them
What is their damn problem?
Are they so damned blind to see
Are they too blinded to see
That their cause is a disease
That their beliefs are a sickness
Well, they can′t fuckin' know what's right
They cannot possibly determine what is right
Religion injected to their minds
Their minds are filled with religion
It′s a circle with no way out
A closed-loop with no escape
Why they can′t fuckin' live without
Why they cannot survive without
A need to follow someone else′s rules
The desire to live by another's standards
With covered eyes like a bunch of fools
Blindly following like a group of idiots
How could they be so goddamn lame
How could they be so incredibly stupid
Just live and die for no one's name
Simply exist and perish without any legacy
And out there, all over the world
And all around the globe
There are still people who think
There are still those who believe
That religion should be a guide
That religion ought to be a path
A subject above all
A topic that surpasses all others
Well, I can′t see a point in that
Well, I cannot understand the purpose of that
Because all I see religion cause
Because all I witness religion bring about
Is wars and hatred
Is conflict and animosity
Stop it before it's too late
Prevent it before it becomes irreversible
