Replica Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus]
I am rape
I am hate
I am rape
I am hate

Filled with pain
A bruised and darkened soul
Spare me from the life that's full of misery
I don't want to live that way
I don't want to live that way

There is no love

Huh!

[Verse 2]
Every day I feel anonymous hate
Forever in the shadow of disgrace

[Pre-Chorus]
I am rape
I am hate
I am rape
I am hate
[Chorus]
Filled with pain
A bruised and darkened soul
Spare me from the life that's full of misery

I am so
Filled with pain
A bruised and darkened soul
Spare me from the life that's full of misery

[Post-Chorus]
I don't want to live that way
I don't want to live that way
I don't want to live that way
I don't want to live that way


[Chorus]
I am so
Filled with pain
A bruised and darkened soul
Spare me from the life that's full of misery

Spare me from the
Life that's full of pain
Spare me from the
Life that's full of pain
[Outro]
I don't want to live that way
I don't want to live that way
I don't want to live that way
I don't want to live that way
I don't want to live that way
I don't want to live that way

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

One of Fear Factory’s most well-known songs, and also their first to get a music video.

The song is about the issues of cloning and/or genetical engineering, told from the perspective of someone (possibly an android) who was created through this process.

It was also suggested that ‘Replica’ dealt with the issues of rape, abortion and being born out of hatred. This interpretation is even more plausible as the band told in an interview that this song’s music video “was banned from MTV because of the pro-choice lyrics”.
