Now, I am going to say, with all the research I have done and being a Tyler fan myself, that you have to be someone who doesn't take these lyrics as the first literal meaning that comes to mind. Tyler has backed this up with the lyrics from another hit song called “Sandwitches” saying, “We don't _____ make horrorcore you ____ ____, listen deeper than the music before you put it in a box”. He is referring to a genre of music that is known for its scary and horror themed lyrics and imagery. A lot of Tyler's lyrics have a different meaning behind what he is actually saying, and

A famous philosopher named Aristotle once said, "He who is unable to live in a society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god" (Moncur ). Ever since the first humans, people have sought to live and grow where other people are. This organization of people living together as a community is called a society. For the members of it, society furnishes protection, continuity, security and identity. Without a society to be a part of, man is nothing. Therefore, if a man comes into conflict with his society, he must either accept these differences or be destroyed. This nightmare comes to life in Chinua Achebe's novel Things Fall Apart, when the main character, Okonkwo, clashes with his society's beliefs. The conflict that exists between Okonkwo and his society is what ultimately leads him to his downfall.
Okonkwo, a fierce warrior, remains unchanged in his unrelenting quest to solely sustain the culture of his tribe in the time of religious war in Achebe's book, Things Fall Apart. He endures traumatic experiences of conflict from other tribes, dramatic confrontations from within his own family, and betrayal by his own tribe.
It has been shown that he is highly intelligent, easily trusted, great at building relationships, and very adventurous. But, he is very dangerous, self-destructive, and may not be entirely sane. However, the fact cannot be denied that Tyler’s personality has many faces, like that of a well-cut jewel. Throughout the story Tyler can be seen as almost sociopathic, having the façade of a highly intelligent man with his almost catalytic personality only open behind the scenes of normal society. As the story is read, we can see that the character of Tyler Durden was carefully constructed by the author, thus allowing him to truly become what this story is all about:
In the beginning, the narrator obeyed everything Tyler told him to do. The narrator conformed to every aspect of society and did everything that was socially acceptable no matter how much it ate away at him inside.
