Song Meaning of “Circle Of Hypocrisy” by Napalm Death
‘Circle of Hypocrisy’ by Napalm Death is a song that points out the hypocrisy of the world in which we live. The band speaks to the powerful in society about how they use their power to oppress and deceive. They point out the dangers of following blindly, and how such a system can lead to a cycle of misdirection and suffering. The chorus addresses the idea of “old men telling young men what’s right and what’s true,” and how this structure of control and oppression can be perpetuated by a powerful, yet misguided, elite. The song questions why the powerful continue to deny justice to those they choose not to see, and why the weak who can’t compete against their injustice have no chance of being heard. With scathing and biting lyrics, Napalm Death ask why we continue to drown in this circling of hypocrisy.
