Killin' Man
Echoes of Oblivion: Unraveling the Dark Tale in 'Killin' Man'
Lyrics
I blow up bridges everyday
I engage in destructive actions regularly.
Man it's easy in every way
Destroying things is simple and straightforward for me.
It don't take a long time to figure it out
Understanding our actions doesn't require much time.
What we are doing what it's all about
Reflecting on the purpose and meaning of our actions.
I'm a killer baby
Expressing a self-awareness of being capable of killing.
I'm a killin' man
Identifying oneself as a person who engages in killing.
There were cold crows in a metal flake sky
Describing a bleak, metallic sky with ominous crows.
It's true villainy or suicide
Contemplating whether actions are morally wrong or self-destructive.
Headlong to nowhere oblivion
Heading towards a directionless existence or destruction.
Living and dying is the only plan
Acknowledging that living and dying are the only certainties.
I'm a killer, babe
Reiterating the self-awareness of being a killer.
I'm a killin' man
Reaffirming the identification as a person who kills.
I'm a killer, baby
Emphasizing the self-perception of being a killer.
I'm a killin' man
Repeating the declaration of engaging in killing.
I'm 10 inches of fallen snow
Comparing oneself to a layer of fallen snow, possibly conveying purity.
Over 10 feet of a lava flow
Contrasting the innocence of snow with a destructive force like lava.
Men are still sleeping behind the line
People are unaware, still asleep, possibly oblivious to impending danger.
I'm flying circles biding my time
Engaging in repetitive actions while waiting for the right moment.
I'm a killer, babe
Reiterating the self-awareness of being a killer.
I'm a killin' man
Reaffirming the identification as a person who kills.
I'm a killer, babe
Emphasizing the self-perception of being a killer.
I'm a killin' man
Repeating the declaration of engaging in killing.
