Individualism, a person making their stand about them being them, going on concept with the dehumanizer story, it's the main man solely rising up telling the machine reapers that he is the person he is, stating that he has more than enough strength to make his stand.
That's all I can think of. |

It's about getting your face creamed on by Dio's wizardly vocal skillz, Tony Iommi shredmastery, Geezer's pwnage fat strings and Vinny battering his snares.
It's about being isolated, and doing it on your own me thinks.
That has to be my pick of Dehumanizer. Sounds great live too.

For what it's worth, I always thought this was a play on hollywood's "action movie" genre, with "I" as the invincible hero.
"I'll smash your face in...but with a smile"
If that's not a jab at any Arnold Schwarzenegger
movie, I don't know what is.
"On the edge of a blade, but no one makes the hero bleed"
Again, a clear reference at a hero who cannot be wounded. |

Oh come on, in the defense of Arnold, "... but they were all bad."
