Interpretation
The lyrics of the song "Morale" by
Napalm Death describe a situation where the mood is low and the weather is good. It seems like the singer wants this to be understood. The text tells us that we are not alone and that the rest is more or less the same. It asks to be kind and not to stop until something else is said.
There is not much time and the feeling is slow. The text asks if the pain will be generous and if it will ever be known.
The weather is bad and the room is cold. The lights are off in the house down the street. While you spend the time, I will try to endure the wait alone. It asks if it would help to ask politely. If not, it will wait all night to be brave and say something different.
If you stop me and ask me why, you can't prevent it if you try. So try and try and try and try.
I walked back and held my position.
The text seems to express some uncertainty and confusion. It reflects on the meaning of kindness and politeness, and on how to deal with difficult emotions like pain. The lines create an atmosphere of loneliness and coldness, heightened by the weather and the condition of the room. The text leaves room for interpretation and encourages to think about our own morals and the meaning of communication and understanding.
