The Last Stand of the Killer
The Last Stand of the Killer: A Symphony of Desperation
Lyrics
Get on the ground you mother fuckers
Command to the individuals to get on the ground.
I'm only gonna to say this the once
Warning that the command will be stated only once.
Put your hands on your head and don't make a sound
Instructing to put hands on the head and remain silent.
Or I'm gonna blow your brains out
Threat of violence if the instructions are not followed.
You over there holding your children
Addressing someone holding children, telling them to stop crying.
Quit your crying it's driving me nuts
Expressing irritation at the crying affecting the speaker.
You're more alive now than you've ever been
Observation that those being addressed are more alive in this moment.
And all of us are in this as one
Emphasizing a sense of unity among everyone present.
So everybody please just do what I say
Request for compliance with the speaker's demands.
I came for your money not your lives
Clarification that the intention is to take money, not lives.
Take this bag and fill it with cash
Instruction to fill a bag with cash to avoid violence.
And I won't have to get blood on my shoes
Promise that compliance will prevent bloodshed.
Which one of you fucks tripped the alarm
Accusation of someone triggering an alarm.
You fucked us, you fucked us, we're dead
Expressing the severity of the situation due to the alarm.
In two minute this place'll be swarming with cops
Prediction of law enforcement arrival in two minutes.
And if I'm going down you're coming down too
Threat that if the speaker is caught, others will also face consequences.
So everybody please just do what I say
Reiteration of the plea for compliance over violence.
I came for your money not your lives
Restatement that the goal is money, not harm.
But if today's the day I'm shot down in the street
Contemplation of potential violent confrontation with the police.
At least I'll be surrounded by friends
If confronted, finding solace in being surrounded by allies.
On my signal we'll storm out the door
Planning a coordinated action to escape.
Charge to the barricades knock the cops to the floor
Describing the plan to confront the police barricades.
I'll fire my pistol and you take the cars
Details of the speaker's role in the escape plan.
And together we'll make my escape
Emphasizing the collective effort for a successful escape.
Halfway across the road I saw I was alone
Realization of betrayal and being alone in the escape.
They'd betrayed me after all we'd been through
Expression of feeling betrayed after shared experiences.
I walked into this place with a dream in my heart
Recollection of entering the situation with a dream in the heart.
A dream of a house by the sea
Dream of a peaceful life by the sea.
With tears in my eyes I raised my pistol
Sad realization, tears, and raising a pistol for a final stand.
Surprised my last stand felt this sad
Acknowledging the melancholy nature of the final stand.
