Song Meaning of “C.S.” by Napalm Death
This song, written by British grindcore pioneers Napalm Death, is about the devastating repercussions caused by capitalistic greed and the complete disregard for those suffering in the process. The title is shorthand for “Brain Storm”, the initial lyric of the song which speaks of political systems that cause “blind anarchy” and “economic slavery”. It goes on to describe how these systems lead to “a world without feeling” where “goodness fades” and “we bow down to evil”. The song asks who benefits from these kinds of systems, and condemns those behind the “million dollar schemes” and cash cows that they have built while others suffer. Ultimately, ‘C.S.’ calls for an ideological shift away from capitalistic greed and an embrace of fairness and equality for all. In conclusion, the band implores us to “question the source, find the solution, reject C.S.”.
