Betrayed Lyrics

Cover art for Betrayed lyrics by Annihilator

The song exposes the facade of a seemingly flawless family that is driven by the father and mother figures who use and abuse their kids to get their way. The father is a deceitful schemer, and the mother hides her true intentions behind a false image of a perfect mother who both feed their children alcohol and drugs, leading them down crooked paths, only for it to backfire on them later. Their kids are symbolized by rats, portraying their vulnerability, and feelings of being used and discarded like lab mice. Eventually, they rise up and betray their parents, giving them their judgment.
