Conqueror Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Lyle 

Cover art for Conqueror lyrics by Jesu

Well, other than drugs, there is probably a deeper meaning somewhere in there. I've written lyrics about experiences with drugs and well, it wasn't just about some drug or high.

Trails are certainly the pathway of life, and I believe Justin Broadrick went on to speak about not just his own group, but society in general. This machine that is America, that is the modern world. "We have to be just like all the others." "The spaces they made for us are all filled up" could mean that these groups outside of the norm that were pushed off to the side are finally gone, because the pop culture/society in general has expanded to a point where there is no more room for individuality. This goes back to the first section, where he goes on to tell ya to hop on the band wagon. The colours relate to hope, that even in the machine, a human is a human, and an individual is an individual. This song to me is a chant for hope, like chimes after a funeral, or something to that effect.
