RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE

- Born As Ghosts Lyrics

The hills find peace, locked armed guard posts
Safe from the screams of the children born as ghosts
The gates, guns and alarms shape the calm of the dawn
Peering down into the basin where death lives on

Where young run foaming at the mouth with hate
Where burning batons beat the freezing who shake
Under the toxic sunsets they dine and toast
Their walls deny the terror faced by the children
Born as ghosts

Born as ghosts, a warning, you sufferers
Begin to speak our word
Born as ghosts, a warning, you sufferers
Begin to speak our word

Born as ghosts, a warning, you sufferers
Begin to speak our word
Born as ghosts
We're the children born as ghosts
Born as ghosts

One book and forty odd stuffed in a room
Ah, the school as a tomb where home is a wasteland
Taste the razor wire and thought is locked in the womb
The tales that tear at the myth of the dream
A suffering that shocks the lives off the screen

Born as ghosts, a warning, you sufferers
Begin to speak our word
Born as ghosts, a warning, you sufferers
Begin to speak our word

Born as ghosts, a warning, you sufferers
Begin to speak our word
Born as ghosts
We're the children born as ghosts
Born as ghosts, born as ghosts

Born as ghosts, a warning, you sufferers
Begin to speak our word
Born as ghosts, a warning, you sufferers
Begin to speak our word

Born as ghosts, a warning, you sufferers
Begin to speak our word
Born as ghosts
We're the children born as ghosts
Born as ghosts, born as ghosts

What is the meaning behind Born As Ghosts lyrics?


When we try to interpret the meaning, the Rage Against The Machine's song 'Born As Ghosts' depicts a very clear society where the use of violence, oppression, and suffering have become the daily norm to such an extent that people are referred to as 'ghosts' who have lost their humanity. The message in the lyrics is that the people who suffer through these hardships should not remain quiet but rather rise up, shout and reclaim their identities from the dehumanizing powers that be. The song lyrics reflect mainly on despair, social commentary, angst, anger, and introspection. On the contrary, the song emphasizes the power of suffering and trauma, the role of silence and oppression but at the same time calls for awareness. The lyrics illustrate the themes of suffering, violence, and very grim childhood and society that can be quite inappropriate for children below 13. The image of 'children born as ghosts' and allusions to violence and unhealthy surroundings indicate a serious theme that requires age restrictions.
