Elektra Lyrics

They stack the bodies a thousand high
A cardinal monument to touch the sky
They crown the peaks
So far estranged
But down in the dirt, nothing has changed
Nothing has changed

Nothing has changed
Nothing has changed
Nothing has changed

Nothing
Nothing

The time has come, there's no escape
The time has come, there's no escape
There's no escape

Into the rabble, the panic seeps
One target hits us, another weeps
They scale the walls, their mind's deranged
But down in the dirt, nothing has changed

Nothing has changed
Nothing has changed
Nothing has changed
Nothing has changed

Nothing
Not a thing

The time has come, there's no escape
Time has come, there's no escape
There's no escape

What is the Meaning of Elektra?

In a world of towering monuments and the relentless march of time, Refused serves up a gritty reality check with a side of nihilism. "Elektra" is a stark reminder that despite our grandiose aspirations and lofty achievements, we're still mired in the same old dirt. Progress? Ha! The song scoffs at such illusions. As bodies pile up and panic seeps into society, we're reminded there's no escape from this cyclical existence. A grim commentary on the human condition, "Elektra" is an unflinching mirror held up to society's face, reflecting our futile attempts at change while we remain fundamentally unchanged. So next time you think you've scaled new heights, remember - down in the dirt, nothing has changed.
