Lyrics
You put me in the clutches of sin
You subjected me to the influence of sin.
Making me a burning specimen
Turning me into a burning example or illustration.
Of worn animosity, just to aspire
Resulting from long-standing hostility, with aspirations to rise above.
Leaving absolutely nothing behind
Leaving nothing at all in your wake.
But now it seems that the tables have turned
However, the situation has reversed or changed.
Another dead end, another lesson learned
Encountering another obstacle or failure, gaining knowledge from it.
One good turn deserves another
A positive action should be reciprocated with another positive action.
So here it is, motherfucker
Expressing defiance or assertiveness.
You're just a semi-automatic hate machine
Describing someone as a source of hatred operating mechanically.
Semi-automatic hate machine
Reiteration of the description of a hate machine with automatic tendencies.
Semi-automatic hate machine
Repetition for emphasis.
And I've gone ballistic
Experiencing extreme anger or rage.
Tooth and scratch
Physical confrontation or struggle involving teeth and scratching.
Give me an axe to grind
Expressing a desire for a tool or means to address grievances.
A practice made perfect, matter over mind
Perfecting a skill through repeated actions, prioritizing substance over thought.
I've got the urge, I've got the urge
Feeling a strong impulse to rid the environment of a negative influence.
To clean up this place of your scourge
Using force or action to eliminate the negative impact of someone or something.
If cleanliness is next to Godliness
Connecting cleanliness to virtue and suggesting the opposite for the addressed person.
Then that would make you the devil
Labeling the addressed person as evil or devilish.
Call it what you will, a pre-emptive strike
Justifying a proactive and forceful response as a defensive measure.
But the first law of nature is to defend one's life
Asserting the instinct to protect one's own life as a fundamental law of nature.
You're just a semi-automatic hate machine
Reiteration of describing someone as a hate machine with automatic features.
Semi-automatic hate machine
Repetition for emphasis.
Semi-automatic hate machine
Reiteration for emphasis.
And I've gone ballistic
Experiencing extreme anger or rage.
Mine eyes have seen the glory
A reference to witnessing something glorious through one's eyes.
Mine eyes have seen the glory
Repetition for emphasis.
Grapes of wrath
A reference to intense anger or wrath.
Grapes of wrath
Repetition for emphasis.
You're just a semi-automatic hate machine
Reiteration of describing someone as a hate machine with automatic features.
Semi-automatic hate machine
Repetition for emphasis.
Semi-automatic hate machine
Reiteration for emphasis.
And I've gone ballistic
Experiencing extreme anger or rage.
And you're just a statistic
Labeling the addressed person as a mere statistic, perhaps insignificance or predictability.
