Misanthrope Lyrics

Artist: Death
Album: Symbolic

From above and around,
observations are collected
Knowledge is taken in by curious life forms
That may bring hope from beyond
Beneath the giver of life, our sun
An examination of another kind is done

A view from those who stood high
And breathing the sky
An opinion from below and from above

Some were decided, some were not
A few looked away, but none forgot

[Chorus:]
Misanthrope
Hater of all mankind
There is some hope
For those who own their mind
They came, they saw and acknowledged
Some good, some bad
Opinion: Dangerous

[Solo: Schuldiner]

Stay where you are, don't get consumed
By what they created from sheer neglet
In denial of years and years of
shattered souls
That were lost to the power of
Fragile, frightful minds

A view from those who stood high
And breathing the sky
An opinion from below and from above

Some were decided, some were not
A few looked away, but none forgot

[Repeat chorus]

I was just reading about Emotionally Neglected Children, and this song fits perfectly. Some of us became misanthropes after being (unknowingly) emotionally neglected by our parents, when they didn't know how to deal with our emotions and told us to turn our feelings off instead of teaching us how to process them. This is how they were raised too, so nobody knows what they're missing, or why they feel angry. It does a lifetime of damage. But Chuck is right, THERE IS SOME HOPE!
