Misanthropic Subject - Writers Forum

This song is a bit misanthropic, aiming more on disdain for the weakness of man. It is uttered by one who looks around only to see stupidity amongst members of his race, from which he chooses to rise instead of having to suffer mediocrity. There is little rhythm to the song, as it’s meant to be screams of pure rage with only a basic idea of fast percussion.

To those who might be offended by this, I can say nothing. If you feel that this piece in any way applies to you, the reader, improve yourself. Try to draw your own conclusions, and differentiate the elitism found in the following song from the human eugenics Hitler believed in.

Weak, Bleeding Kind

Shadows tear through the pathetic domain
Of this sorry, conceited race.
The beast’s claws forever etch the blinded eyes
Of the torn human body.

Brilliance is ever lost from you,
Never to be accessed by the race of man again.
To embrace the true mastery,
Evolution must right its side of the bargain.

Death, the screams fill the night,
Yet I do not understand these hallucinations.
The lives of the decaying ones are only beginning,
Their journey may take their soul, but the prize…oh, the prize.

Advance toward the next stage of sanity,
Masked within the veil of madness.
What choice will thou make,
When faced with knowledge or life?

Eve has passed the test, but only through the viper.
Who was true to the mind? The bitch or the snake?
Crush past humanity without pity, do not let them forget the burden
They’ve endowed to us in our first hours of genius.

Our reign has come, we gather in front of the damaged mark,
Your shadow to yourself you’ll bind.
The light cannot be without the dark,
But we must not allow the weak, bleeding kind.

They are our fathers, we are not sons.
The hatred runs deep, their futile attempts to see beyond the stars…
Foolish men of old must be collected and burned,
Staked alive to witness our birth.

Purely melodramatic.

It is, undoubtedly. But I was going for that. Not all melodrama is bad, and this is not meant to be a serious piece.

Just meant to be over-exagerrated thoughts of a brilliant man.

I fear that it is a personal hate of mine, which tends to anaesthetize me to any more positive potential comments.

I don't know, its hard to judge a song when you have someone praising what a disturbed individual thought. Though I beleive that the human race is sad sometimes, that many are so called "weak" it doesnt justify anyones position on killing people. Because there is no perfect race, weak people are in every facet of life, I deal with many everyday but even they have something to offer, and I beleive that everyone is weak in a certain aspect, that some people just choose to improve their strength and hide their weakness. What Hitler did and believed in was purley illogical, while he may have been a "Brilliant" man, his ideas were flawed and his mind was askew. Perhaps if you spent less time hating other people for the problems of the world and more time realizing that your just like them then you could reach out and help them and everyone else to greatness with you.
