Dette er hovedbudskapet i diktene, kritikk av hvordan samfunnet blir styrt og hvordan vi lar oss styre. War1 mener at dikterne også prøver å fremme sin egen ideologi.

Diktene, altså “Lagnad sa vi” og “Du må ikke sove”, er ikke for kompliserte skrevet med rytme som gjør at leseren henger med gjennom hele teksten. Etter diktene er lest vil innholdet sitte og man kan undres over meningene.

Sadistik – while drunk and high – compares himself to two great writers:

The first, Hunter S. Thompson, was a politically radical American author and journalist. He was known for using drugs (Sadistik references marijuana – “cess”) and he created gonzo journalism. It was famously said:

The true voice of Thompson is revealed to be that of American moralist […] one who often makes himself ugly to expose the ugliness he sees around him.

This quote could also be applied to Sadistik in some ways.

Sadistik has created comparisons to Thompson before:

I try to conquer everything, I’m caught up in the hunt
Hunter S. Thompson with a gun, but less often just for fun


The second writer is Charles Bukowski – an American poet. Over Bukowski’s career, he touched upon many topics similar to Sadistik’s, such as alcohol problems and strained relationships with women.

One of the creepiest ways the last verse of this song could’ve ended. A “subliminal” threat from the narrator, saying that if this girl isn’t willing to become his girlfriend, then he’ll make sure nobody else will…

When Brother Ali converted to Islam, he decided to take on the name “Ali” (he was born Jason Newman). It was one of the names suggested to him and he chose the name because of Muhammad Ali. This song is dedicated to him:

There were a few names that were being suggested, and [Ali] was one of them. And I chose that name because of him – because of who he is. I think that anybody can transcend what they do, and become bigger than just their location, when they’re willing to sacrifice and really make it about something bigger than just themselves. A lot of people are great just for greatness’ sake, or just for their own self-aggrandizement, but when you can connect it and make it bigger, and make it beneficial to other people, or to a bigger idea or principle, then that’s when you become truly great – that’s when you become a hero. That’s when you make that transition from being successful to being great. And there are people that are great without being successful. They’re not necessarily the same thing.
