	I don't think this song is promoting anarchy, but rather trying to convey that Anarchy is something dangerous.

No Picture Chris Average	#2 by Chris Wise at Feb 2, 2006 at 2:47 PM EST
	ok for those calling the columbine kids nazis youre an idiot.. one of them JEWSIH. KMFDM nor Rammstein nor any other band were the cause of the Columbine shooting, music did nothing.. if you knew the story you'd know, only reason they listened to that music was because it is F*CKING KICKASS!! i don't think they really listened to Manson either.. that was just an easy attack to go for the cause of it all. as of this song... i love it i'm pretty much on baord with RobbyRaccoon, great interpretations

	I've always found this song to be rather silly. Still, probably the best of the whiny gothic skl0d songs (this, Today, Save Me, etc.), though that isn't really saying too much.

	this is the best KMFDM song ever!!

No Picture guido Average	#5 by guido at Apr 22, 2006 at 11:51 PM EST
	This is the best song ever, although "Sweet Dreams" and "Scabs, Guns and Peanutbutter" comes oughly close... KMFDM is a genius band. Its bands like this that should gang up just to rape people like Brittney Spears and Christina Augilera and then kill those big-breasted whores!!!

	Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were fans of KMFDM and Rammstein, primarily. They did not shoot up their school because of songs like Anarchy and Terror, that's ridiculous. But Eric did include lyrics to multiple KMFDM songs on his webpage. As far as this song goes, I'm not into Tim Skold or this song. It's just corny.

	First off, I will say that I love this song. It is probably what got me addicted to KMFDM. The vocals done especially made me wanting more, even though how they are so amazing here is hard to describe. Bottom line, I think this is the greatest song they've ever done, and I think it's very influential, too. As for its meaning, I think it should be very clear the message KMFDM is saying about Anarchy, and what it is to them: Gospel of rage/Faction of hate/Deviate from the absolute/Born of revenge/Raised on cement/Chaos created government I find all of that to be parallel to Anarchy. Is not anarchy a government created from Chaos? I think also that Anarchy would require a lot of rage to be able to create. Especially in our state right now, if we were to even try to embrace the idea of anarchy, it would be because of our disdain for our current government, rather than because anarchy is a viable or reasonable solution. Also, the bulk of the song seems to be saying about how hard his situation is, which is probably caused by the government, and that anarchy would be a solution to his problems. Really, the song takes a perspective from somebody who clearly wants anarchy, "Wake me up in Anarchy". But I do not feel that KMFDM was trying to send a message that they are taking this point of view, but merely trying to convey a message in general about anarchy. One thing I can't figure out is this: "I made a god out of blood Not superiority" The only interpretation I can come up with is that it means the government is "God" and it would then be a government directly reflecting man(blood) rather than a heirarchy.

No Picture Toxic Wanna Be	#8 by Toxic Tension at May 21, 2006 at 7:33 PM EST
	the line is stating simply an anti religous statement that orginized religon is part of the problem with society. that he made a god out of blood not superiority that his religion is not based apon being superior to others since their is a very thin line between goverenment and religion its only a simple leap that you would never have anarchy without the absence of a controaling religion

	KMFDM is the greatest band ever. And Sascha K. is a brilliant musician. But those of you that like this song because it is about Anarchy should put some more thought into it. As much as you think the government is oppressing you and as much as the system may be raping you, they keep you alive. Just think- gotterdammerung = todestag. So don't rip the system. Instead support my run for supreme dictator of the world. Let me govern your soul :)

No Picture juan Wanna Be	#10 by juan montoya at Jul 14, 2006 at 7:42 AM EST
	This is the best song by them ever! Fuck, its the best song about anarchy .period. Eat your heart out Sex Pistols! Why was this only a promo single....... I dunno, maybe cause of its connection with the two dumb-assed nazis. "I made a god out of blood Not superiority" That empitomes everything about anarchy in its most poetic sense............ I just love this song, you cant be an KMFDM fan without liking this song!

No Picture Kevin Wanna Be	#11 by Kevin Alarcon at Jul 18, 2006 at 4:23 AM EST
	They wern't dumb assed nazis either....

No Picture Garth Rhythm Player	#12 by Garth Byrne at Sep 27, 2006 at 7:43 AM EST
	Another good KMFDM song. As for what I think this song is about - the opening verse would seem to imply that despite all the best efforts of someone (government?) to break his will, it's not working. "Sacrifice to the cause Turn your code into law Compensate to validate the loss" I think the rest of the song (the aforementioned in particular) could be about how everybody else is exploited/sacrificed so the government can fulfil their own agenda's. As for the "I made a God out of blood, not superiority", I agree wholeheartedly with what Lokithecat suggested. I can't elaborate any more/better than Loki did.

	eh im not gonna try to interpret what this means.....but its very good.....like one of those songs you listen to over and over again untill you get totally burnt out on it

	It's most likely totally wrong, but whenever I hear the lines "I made a god out of blood, not superiority" it makes me think of governmental officials who are unfit for their job, but because of their high positions, they are there anyway. George Bush Jr would be an example. He's an unfit leader in some's opinions (not mine, I'm not Anti-Bush) and some may feel he's only where he is now because of his father. So he's a "god made of superiority." Making a "god out of blood" would require the leader to deserve the position by trials. Perhaps this "god of blood" -- which I don't feel is referring to God but rather a political leader -- is nonexistant so therefore we have the main idea of this song: anarchy.

	Robby Raccoon has this song down for sure. Choaticone; this song has nothing to do with religion.

	Now I sleep in anarchy comes before wake me up in anarchy... Not to make anyone sound stupid. I was just listening to it, and I realized that.

	well i think the song isnt saying about a government form, but it fits well when you talk about Religious Oppression

	I cant figure out what "I made a god out of blood Not superiority I killed the king of deceit " means either. I think that 'RobbyRaccoon' comes close to explaining it i guess.....
