Notice Araya's "I Don't Give a F**k" way of singing through the verse. It's a perspective of a German soldier who abuses the Pervitin pills (methamphetamine), striving to survive another day/week/month/year of serving "the cause that he once understood" and "to do only what is expected of him". It's the final stage of the WWII. He knows that the war is lost, but not soon enough. He feels a sickness building inside of him, but the pills melt away the time in his living inferno, and suppress his feelings. Blind obedience carries him through it all, Conscience a word he learned to forget. |
