I agree on much you say maulsl. Allthough I phrase my opinions differently than you would do.

Basically, even though a person may be intelligent, we still have not evolved far enough too lay down the side of which that conjure hatred. I believe this is an explanation of intelligent persons gaining higher motivation from the attacks of those he views as currently lesser beings.

The lyrics is the mindset of someone who knows he is above others, and no matter what intricate lies they perform against him - he knows them to his core that they are untrue. Venom in this case is falsehood, and trying to stop someone with the falseness is kinda like dozing a fire with gasoline, hoping it to stop burning.

I also do believe that this song is not about those who openly expose themselfs as believers of certain mindsets, and strive to learn this mindset to others. Those mentioned are the ones unsure of their choice of belief, yet they defend it without thought. Hollow inside - it is something they cling onto and perhaps define themselfs against, yet they do not fully believe it.

It is basically these people there are most of in this world too, but they are perhaps harder to single out, as they voice their opinions discretly (From the shadows) in the hidaway, safe environment of friends. There, they may can influence other people slowly, without riscing themselfs - it may not even be a consiouss effort! But still, it is making the writer of these lyrics furious.

Henrik O. is a serious thinker. I love these concepts.
