Man Against Man
X-ACTO \ IGNITE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No definition of where I fit in
Blind hatred
Just a matter of pride
Presevation of the demon inside of you
Man agaisnt man
Man agaisnt man
Man agaisnt man
Taken to a frightful extreme
Blame them for the misfortune they've seen
Not perfect
He's only less than a man
Not worthy
To walk on this land as you
Man agaisnt man
Man agaisnt man
Man agaisnt man
The evil inside of you
You're guilty for having poison in hand
Separation for those who don't understand
We're a species only one form alive
There's no black or white just you
Man agaisnt man
Man agaisnt man
Man agaisnt man
Evil inside of you...
The lyrics of the song Man Against Man by X-ACTO \ IGNITE reflects on the issue of discrimination and hatred amongst human beings. The song describes societal issues of individuals looking down on others due to their physical appearance, race, and cultural backgrounds. The line "Pigment a simple color of skin, no definition of where I fit in" suggests the idea that individuals are often judged based on the color of their skin rather than who they are as a person, leading to feelings of exclusion and division within society.
The chorus "Man against man, the evil inside" highlights the destructive nature of hatred and prejudice, emphasizing that this division and animosity between people exist because of the "evil inside" humans. The song also mentions blaming others for misfortunes and defining someone's worth based on arbitrary societal standards, which only serves to reinforce the idea that it is the "evil" within people that leads to this type of harmful and intolerant behavior. In general, the song seeks to challenge the idea of dividing people into groups and to promote the idea of unity and respect for all.
