Rebellion and Self-Assertion: The Anthem of Defiance in 'On It' by Mindless Self Indulgence

Mindless Self Indulgence (MSI) is known for their provocative and rebellious style, and 'On It' is no exception. The song is a chaotic blend of aggressive lyrics and high-energy beats, reflecting a sense of defiance and self-assertion. The opening lines, 'Wait (wait), I masturbate / Let another motherfucker come and share my fate and pray (pray),' set the tone for the song's unapologetic and confrontational attitude. The use of masturbation as a metaphor suggests a form of self-reliance and independence, rejecting societal norms and expectations.

The recurring phrase 'I'm on it' serves as a declaration of the singer's determination and resilience. Lines like 'On it - watch me bleed / On it - rest in peace' convey a willingness to endure pain and struggle, yet remain steadfast in their pursuits. The mention of a fax machine and corporate accounts introduces a critique of the mundane and oppressive nature of corporate life, hinting at a desire to break free from these constraints.

The chorus, 'Better than this, better than that / Better watch out when you get me goin',' emphasizes a competitive spirit and a drive to surpass others. This is further reinforced by the lines 'I'm gonna be the one with my face in a magazine / I'm gonna be the one I have to face,' which highlight a quest for recognition and self-fulfillment. The song's energetic and rebellious tone captures the essence of MSI's style, blending punk rock and electronic elements to create a powerful anthem of defiance and self-empowerment.
