Song Meaning of “God Eater” by Fear Factory
God Eater is an anthem of survival in a topsy-turvy world where life as they know it has been spun into a downward spiral. It’s a cry against the hard-fated injustices of a world where humans are no longer in control. It’s about an individual coming to terms with their own mortality in the face of the apathy of modern societies.
As God Eater points out, “we are the souls that we control” and nobody else has the right to take that away from us. It’s about reclaiming the power of the self and cherishing the unique purpose of life in the midst of this messed up society. The chorus of the song speaks of embracing one’s power, and of looking upon somebody as a savior from the depths of despair. It is a reminder that we all have our own inner strength, and that we can be the hero of life if we choose to reclaim our power within.
God Eater is a reminder that life is beautiful, no matter what the dark chaos may be telling us. It is a testament to the power of survival, and the never-ending battle to keep our spirits high amidst any bad day.
