Assassini

Paragraf 119's song 'Assassini' is a powerful and raw critique of state violence and political oppression. The lyrics express a deep frustration with the hypocrisy of governments that claim to uphold freedoms, such as the right to protest, while simultaneously deploying police forces to violently suppress dissent. The song opens with a stark contrast between the theoretical rights enshrined in law and the brutal reality faced by demonstrators, highlighting the disconnect between what is promised and what is practiced.

The chorus, with its repeated accusations of 'Verdamte Mörder' (damned murderers) and 'Assassini' (assassins), directly targets the police and state leaders, accusing them of being complicit in violence and murder. The imagery of 'blodhunde' (bloodhounds) and the graphic depiction of police brutality serve to underscore the song's message that those in power are willing to use extreme measures to maintain control. The lyrics suggest that the police and political leaders are part of the same corrupt system, with the former acting as enforcers for the latter's oppressive policies.

In the second verse, the song broadens its critique to include the systemic issues that perpetuate inequality and violence. The leaders are described as 'kyniske lakajer' (cynical lackeys) of a 'råddent system' (rotten system) that enriches the few at the expense of the many. The song calls out the superficiality of political leaders who hide behind expensive suits and empty promises while perpetuating a 'syg og perverteret' (sick and perverted) world order. Despite the violence and oppression, the song ends on a defiant note, asserting that the struggle for justice will continue to grow stronger with every act of state violence.

'Assassini' is a rallying cry for resistance against political and police oppression, urging listeners to question authority and continue fighting for their rights. The song's raw energy and uncompromising message make it a powerful anthem for those who feel marginalized and oppressed by the current system.
