Demolition Man
Unraveling the Depths of "Demolition Man" Meaning
Lyrics
Tied to the tracks and the train's just coming
Tied to the tracks and imminent danger is approaching
Strapped to the wing with the engine running
In a precarious situation, ready for action
You say that this wasn't in your plan
Unexpected circumstances contrary to the plan
And don't mess around with the demolition man
Caution against engaging with the dangerous individual
Tied to a chair and the bomb is ticking
Restrained and facing a time-sensitive threat
This situation was not of your picking
Caught in a situation not by choice
You say that this wasn't in your plan
Unplanned scenario conflicting with intentions
And don't mess around with the demolition man
Warning against involvement with the dangerous individual
I'm a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom
Self-description as a frightening presence with destructive potential
I kill conversation as I walk into a room
Ability to disrupt conversations and environments
I'm a three line whip
Authority figure with strict control
I'm the sort of thing they ban
Characterization as something to be prohibited
I'm a walking disaster
Self-perception as a calamitous force
I'm a demolition man
Identification as a force causing destruction
You come to me like a moth to the flame
Comparison to a moth attracted to danger
It's love you need but I don't play that game
Desire for love but refusal to engage in traditional romantic pursuits
'Cause you could be my greatest fan
Recognition of potential admiration without personal attachment
I'm nobody's friend I'm a demolition man
Refusal to form close relationships due to a dangerous nature
I'm a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom
Reiteration of being a menacing presence
I kill conversation as I walk into a room
Ability to disrupt social interactions upon arrival
I'm a three line whip
Authoritative and controlling figure
I'm the sort of thing they ban
Characterization as something society prohibits
I'm a walking disaster
Self-view as a disastrous entity
I'm a demolition man
Self-identification with causing destruction
Demolition man
Repetition emphasizing the identity as a 'Demolition Man'
