I am the next stage
Are you able to follow the Red Team?
Are you able to follow the Red Team?
They all look familiar to me
I live in a world of paradox
My willingness to destroy
Is your chance for improvement
My hate is your faith
My failure is your victory
A victory that won't last
A victory that won't last
Electronic jamming?
This song is one of the most meaningless and obnoxious I've ever encountered. In my opinion, these lyrics are beyond the all-too-common formulaic angst-jams that are produced today. Hey, it may mean more to you; good for you.
hell yes...
team red reminds me of this ganagle of car racin boys in town... well let me tell you 2 weeks ago i made it to the red line in my car. i could be on team redline. dumbest.post.ever
It's not meaningless. It's a ramble about finishing up dead. Be this person male or female, they're coming to terms with death (the next stage), which "looks familiar", and hence "improves" "you".
If the airwaves are cluttered by angst-jams, it's because people love to copy 242. This song predates them all.
It's a message from Satan, Death, Kali, Shiva the Destroyer, Loki, Ahriman, or whatever term you want to use for the embodiment of destruction. Nearly all religions contain a negative entity always working to kill people and thwart our plans.
Well - just sounds like a description for Unreal Torurnament and the like..."Red Team", "next stage", "My failure is your victory - A victory that won't last", "electronic jamming"... ever thought of this possibility? Maybe this should turn out as a parable for some real life combat, but I don't dare to postulate.
That’s a bit like comments about Dancing With Myself, when some people used to say that Billy Idol wanted to express “80ies alienation” or something :-) when actually it’s about masturbation :-) Front 242 lyrics nearly always stay abstract and do not have a deeper meaning, this one here seems inspired by US politics, hence the addition of a blue team live.
Front 242 is known for their military image in the 80s.
This song is about probably about straight-forward red team-operations, i.e. conducted by a person/group "that plays the role of an adversary to provide security feedback from an antagonist's perspective. Red teams are used in many fields, especially in cybersecurity, airport security, law enforcement, military and intelligence agencies."

@KlingKlang This is a very good attempt to put these lyrics into a larger context. Front 242 also used some technical terms related to computers, databases, military, graphic design, etc. as song titles: WYHIYWG (instead of WYSIWYG), First In/First Out (data processing) to name just two. Thanks!
