Body Hammer Lyrics
I clench my teeth and realize
My world is so near it's demise
A dying sun in a poisonous sky
Stining my eyes
Burning with contempt and conflict
As of now
I am a tool
Of severe impact
I clench my fist and visualize
The blood that is spilled is our own
I open wide my bloodshot eyes
Count the dead
A result of dysfunction
As of now
I am a tool
Of severe impact
Hammer down
Cause and effect
And create a new world
Pound, drive, swing, strike
Break down, smash down
Pound and drive, swing and strike
Break it down
I am a tool
As of now
I am a tool
Of severe impact
Hammer down
Cause and effect
And create a new world
As of now
I am a tool
Of severe impact
Hammer down
Cause and effect
And create a new world
I am a tool
I am a tool
I am a tool
I am a tool
I am a tool
I am a tool
Tool
Tool
I am a tool to break down
Break it down and smash it all away
My world is so near it's demise
A dying sun in a poisonous sky
Stining my eyes
Burning with contempt and conflict
I am a tool
Of severe impact
The blood that is spilled is our own
I open wide my bloodshot eyes
Count the dead
A result of dysfunction
I am a tool
Of severe impact
Hammer down
Cause and effect
And create a new world
Break down, smash down
Pound and drive, swing and strike
Break it down
I am a tool
I am a tool
Of severe impact
Hammer down
Cause and effect
And create a new world
I am a tool
Of severe impact
Hammer down
Cause and effect
And create a new world
I am a tool
I am a tool
I am a tool
I am a tool
I am a tool
Tool
Tool
I am a tool to break down
Break it down and smash it all away

The song is loosely based on the Tetsuo series of body-horror films by Japanese director Shinya Tsukamoto, specifically Tetsuo 2: Body Hammer. The premise of the movie is that the protaginist's body starts transforming into a mass of scrap metal after falling into a fit of rage because of his son's murder and subsequently seeking vengeance against those who were responsible for it.
Correction. His son's kidnapping. Not murder.

Its about the breaking point of a human being where they stop being a human being, because of their anger they are now a tool, ready to crush.
fuckin love this song, so angry.
well said
I took this as a worrior or Fighter in the army or navy fighting down... Feeling like a killing machine, a tool... a body hammer... And the agression is just cool! But when I first heard this song I thought he was saying "I am a fool to break down...
You gotta hear this song with BASS HIGH.
and yes a good review by Bodyhammer
I'm gonna take Body Hammer's word for it haha.

FF's songs usually have two meanings, the story part (as a concept album) and the deeper part. "Body Hammer" probably got the latter.
More directly anyway, it probably has something to do with some character's anger serving as a tool in some way for some machine related entity.
i think it' all about betrayal of society around us. a lot of people can happily go through so much bs in life and still be ok with it all. but maybe someone such as the "man" in the song just cant take the narrowminded-ness and bs of life anymore because he realises it is all a bunch of lies, ways to make money, no one really cares about anything and he thought it was all a good world when it really isnt...
you as a listener must have at some point in life felt so mad that you daydream of going on a killing spree against the people in the world you hate the most, smashing their face in, destroying them over and over and feeling extremely powerful crushing everything... this is pretty much the song. a man gone absolutely insane, mega pissed off, and wants to burn everything.
