Battle Royale
Warhead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You hear the grim teacher speak
This youth that is neglected
The stronger will kill the weak
Now your old friends have betrayed you
And now you know you're on your own
You think that this is nothing new
Come on put the fucking gun in your hand
Never stop running
You fellow classmates got their targets on you
You can hear them coming
An explosive collar's hanging round your neck
Making sure you won't survive
If you don't follow all the rules
You better try to stay alive
21 kids are dead and gone
You only crack a smile
Soon you will be free again
But only for a very short while
Come on put the fucking gun in your hand
Never stop running
You fellow classmates got their targets on you
You can hear them coming
The B.R. game's all over now
The last day it is here
Your evil teacher takes a bow
The losses were severe
Come on put the fucking gun in your hand
Never stop running
You fellow classmates got their targets on you
You can hear them coming
The lyrics to Warhead's song Battle Royale depict a bleak and violent scenario where the weak are pitted against the strong in a deadly game of survival. The song begins with the singer waking up in a dark old classroom, surrounded by other youth who have supposedly been neglected. The grim teacher speaks, ominously proclaiming that only the strongest will survive by killing the weak. The singer soon realizes that even his old friends have now become his enemies and that he must fight alone to survive.
The lyrics of the chorus urge the singer to fight back, with an explosive collar hanging around his neck as a constant reminder of the danger he is in. The violent imagery is vividly portrayed in the lines "Come on put the fucking gun in your hand/Never stop running/You fellow classmates got their targets on you/You can hear them coming". The song ends with the singer cracking a smile at the news that 21 of his classmates are dead, knowing that he too will soon be free, but only for a short while.
The song can be interpreted as a commentary on the brutal nature of competition and the survival instinct that kicks in when one is pushed to the limit. It explores the darker aspects of human nature and questions whether violence and aggression are inherent traits that are unleashed in extreme circumstances. Overall, the lyrics of Battle Royale serve as a warning against the dangers of blindly following authority and the tragic consequences that can result from a society where survival of the fittest is the only rule.
