Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This high-octane anthem from Asuran encapsulates visceral rage, vengeance, and an unyielding fight against systemic oppression and discrimination. The lyricist urges the protagonist to cast aside fear and hesitation, standing tall as a fierce force ('Asuran') against oppressors. Packed with violent, raw imagery of blood and retribution, the song reflects the boiling frustration of marginalized individuals pushed to their limits, turning violent self-defense into a necessary act of survival and justice.
