Songs I like: Misanthropy Pure



I love when heavy bands write songs like this because these lyrics reflect about 90% of the music in the scene. It's loud and violent like many of the people who come through looking for an outlet for their difficulties. "I believe in man." I love that line. Despite all the hatred and violence we have, never once has the ember of hope ever been extinguished in humanity. If you don't like the heavy music, maybe the lyrics?

Understood, 
This will read as a plea to vindicate intolerance as surely as it is written. 

Understand, 
Contempt born of clear perception is a birthright to those who channel it toward progression. 

Preserve life through loathing. 
Awaken hope within hatred. 
Wrest insight from outrage. 

This is our birthright and obligation. 

Spiteful and ill-tempered, I know the character well... 
A maelstrom of weakness, and instability seething with viciousness. 
I choose not to accept this; 
Not into my life. 
There is no hope of reform. 
When pride is allied with hostility, all reason is denied. 
I return the denial. 

A glaring misconception of self-importance, I know the character well... 
Heedless fool, so arrogant with no understanding of consequence. 
I see this negligence. 
I choose not to accept it; 
Not into my life. 
Absence of introspection neglects the outer world. 
Let not the excess of lusts and comfort mislead you. 
This world is not yours. 

Feel the quarrel in just his presence, you know the character all too well... 
A destructive man at war with his cowardice. 
I detest belligerence, and choose not to accept it; 
Not into my life. 
Keep separate these hatreds. 
Undefined animosity is a device of the spineless, the means of a fool. 
Focused misanthropy is opposition for these dark hearts- 
Downpours of disapproval no words could begin to express. 

To distort the truth to serve himself, 
To oppose understanding, 
I believe in man. 
Man will maintain its hostility. 
Have this faith. 

Conflict in the chest. 
To be concerned for the needs of such heartless men.
