Mad Monster

Detroit Metal City's 'Mad Monster' is a visceral and intense exploration of a monstrous entity that devours everything in its path. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of chaos and destruction, starting with the imagery of tearing apart angels and causing a rain of blood. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which is filled with dark and violent metaphors. The mention of 'kami no himei ga kaminari to naru' (the screams of gods becoming thunder) suggests a cataclysmic event, emphasizing the sheer power and terror of the monster.

The repeated phrase 'kurau' (to devour) underscores the insatiable hunger of the 'Mad Monster.' This creature consumes not just physical bodies ('kurau hara wata kurau noumiso' - devouring guts and brains) but also abstract concepts like hatred ('kurau zouo') and fear ('kurau kyoufu'). The monster's appetite extends to the very depths of hell ('jigoku no soko made'), indicating that nothing is beyond its reach. This relentless consumption can be seen as a metaphor for unchecked greed or destructive forces in society that consume everything in their path.

The song also touches on the helplessness of humanity in the face of such a monstrous force. The lines 'hitobito ha nigemadoi ketsuniku fuki areru' (people flee in confusion, blood and flesh scattering) and 'tada niku yatsu no mae de ha shi sura mo nai' (before the beast, even death is meaningless) highlight the futility of resistance. The monster's ability to consume everyone and everything, from family members to friends ('omae, haha, chichi, ani, ane, otouto, imouto, sobo, sofu, itoko, hatoko, shishou, deshi, yuujin, chijin'), reinforces the idea of an all-encompassing, unstoppable force. This can be interpreted as a commentary on the overwhelming nature of certain societal issues or personal struggles that leave individuals feeling powerless.
