The song "Hatrið Mun Sigra" (English: "Hatred Will Prevail") by Icelandic band Hatari is a bleak and nihilistic look at life and the world around us. The lyrics speak of a boundless emptiness that consumes everything, rendering life meaningless and purposeless. The chorus repeats the phrase "hatrið mun sigra" or "hatred will prevail," suggesting that negativity and animosity will ultimately win out over joy and love. The song's verses detail various forms of deception and betrayal, describing how everything the singer once believed in has crumbled down around them. The lines "allt sem ég sá/runnu niður tár" (English: "everything I saw/ran down in tears") suggest that the singer has lost hope and is mourning the loss of their former optimism and idealism. The song builds to a climactic call for unity and resistance against the forces of destruction and despair. The final lines "sameinuð sem eitt" (English: "united as one") implore listeners to come together in solidarity, regardless of our differences. Overall, "Hatrið Mun Sigra" offers a bleak but powerful meditation on the nature of existence and the human condition, as well as a call to arms against the pervasive sense of hopelessness that can grip us all.
