"Wicked Hearts" by Junge Junge explores the theme of human nature and how it can be influenced by external factors. The lyrics describe a cycle of darkness, pain, and conflict that humanity seems to perpetuate. The song suggests that despite our advancements in technology and weaponry, we continue to repeat the same mistakes and engage in wars and violence. The phrase "We build them weapons to the stars" implies that even our progress in space exploration is tainted by our destructive tendencies. The repetition of the line "We keep breedin' wicked hearts" emphasizes the idea that our inherent flaws and negative traits persist throughout generations. This line suggests that our capacity for wickedness and conflict is deeply ingrained in our nature. The lyrics also touch upon the idea of seeking rescue or redemption. The lines "Is somebody here gonna rescue me? Is anybody here gonna rescue? 'Cause I'm dyin', oh, I'm dyin' tonight" express a longing for someone to intervene and help break this cycle of darkness and pain. Overall, "Wicked Hearts" highlights the paradoxical nature of humanity, where we possess the ability to create and progress, yet often find ourselves trapped in a destructive cycle. It serves as a commentary on the struggles and moral complexities of being human.
