Lyrics

I am all that which I own

I define myself by what I possess

A pretty face, a soulless hole

A beautiful exterior concealing emptiness inside

No. Nothing more

Nothing beyond the superficial matters to me

No such thing I would not whore

I have no boundaries in what I would do for personal gain

Eyes here I strike a pose

Attracting attention and posing for recognition

Snorting own shit up the nose

Engaging in self-destructive behavior, possibly substance abuse

Digging gold by all means

Seeking wealth at any cost

Let me tell you what it means

Explaining the consequences of the pursuit of material gain

Something like this...

Introducing a scenario or mindset

All in the competition, down to final low as fast as we can

Competing intensely and recklessly, aiming for the bottom

Take or die, take or die, Hit the lights out

Choosing between taking risks or facing failure, metaphorically represented by turning off the lights

A collective obsession to reach the bitter end as fast as we can

A shared fixation on reaching a negative outcome quickly

Take or die, take or die, before the lights out

Reiterating the theme of making choices before facing consequences

I`m as shallow as they come

Admitting to a lack of depth or substance

Without substance, simply none

Emphasizing the absence of meaningful qualities

Ego be sanctified

Self-centeredness elevated to a holy status

Vanity thy name is I

Identifying with excessive pride and self-love

Strike a match and burn them black

Igniting conflicts and destroying relationships

Ignore the flames and don`t look back

Disregarding consequences and moving forward without reflection

Hammer on the funeral bell

Symbolizing the end with a funeral bell and a hammer

Lights out, no heaven or hell

Anticipating a conclusion without an afterlife consequence
