Phantoms
Warhead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wonder if our lives are safer now
Did they crush the axis of evil?
Or were they out for what lies underground?
Do you see the next big thing is coming?
Shock & Awe the punchline for attack
Is this all a war against terror?
Did they find the head of global terror?
Is he hiding somewhere in a cave?
I wonder if there's someone still searching
Or is the answer hiding in a safe?
Nearby we can see that there is mischief
Helping here would be a mighty deed
All I see is that they give a warning
Plans are different for the "creed of greed"
The puppets that you see - they're hollow
The truth that you can't find - is hard to swallow
This power rules the world - below the surface
You can't see their eyes - they are faceless
Phantoms!
Don't they see the other source of fire?
Genocide is happening all the time
Hungry people crying for salvation
But I see that no one gives a dime
Look around you all you see is madness
Better start to ask and use your brain
There is something happening in the shadows
Decisions made are totally insane!
The puppets that you see - they're hollow
The truth that you can't find - is hard to swallow
This power rules the world - below the surface
You can't see their eyes - they are faceless
Phantoms!
The lyrics of Warhead's song "Phantoms" are filled with political and social commentary on the state of the world in the aftermath of the Gulf War. The song poses several questions about the effectiveness and motives of the war, from whether it made the world a safer place to whether the axis of evil was truly crushed. The lyrics then delve into the idea of a "war against terror," questioning whether it truly exists or whether it's just a phobia that needs to be overcome. The imagery of phantoms is used to describe the shadows cast by the powerful individuals and institutions that rule the world, who are faceless and invisible to the public. The puppets that are seen are hollow, indicating that those in power are just playing a role and that the truth is difficult to swallow.
The second half of the song explores other issues happening in the world, such as genocide and poverty, which are largely ignored by those in power. The madness that is seen all around indicates a need for people to start thinking for themselves and questioning the decisions made by those in power. The chorus repeats the idea of phantoms to drive home the message that the powerful are hidden and faceless, operating below the surface of society.
Overall, the lyrics of "Phantoms" are critical of those in power and the systems that allow them to remain hidden and unaccountable. It highlights the need for people to take action and start questioning the decisions made for them.
