Lyrics
Skull and bones etched into your eyes
There's a menacing or ominous appearance in your eyes, symbolized by skull and bones.
you never know who's gonna be first or the last to die
The uncertainty of life and death, emphasizing that anyone could be the next to perish.
life touches you in the strangest ways
Life impacts people in unexpected and unusual ways.
you're swallowed whole behind that empty gaze
You're consumed entirely, and your true feelings or thoughts are hidden behind a vacant expression.
One more shot, one more rip, it's time to let life go
Embracing a reckless attitude, willing to let go of life's constraints.
just one more moment to snap out of this horror show
A desire for one more chance to escape from a distressing or horrifying situation.
but now you've left a stain inside their hearts
Your actions have deeply affected others emotionally.
the acts of a selfish mind tore their world apart
Your self-centered behavior has torn apart the lives of those around you.
Like father, like son, your life had just begun
Similarities in behavior or fate between generations, especially between father and son.
take heed on what your mother said ""some day you'll be someone""
A warning or advice given by a mother about becoming successful in the future.
But it's the land of the free, oh say can you see
Reference to the United States as a place of freedom, yet suggesting a contradiction or irony.
choke your rights through the lungs
Your freedoms or rights are being restricted or suffocated.
feed the street machine
To support the system, you must sacrifice your essence or individuality.
The street machine
A metaphor for the system or society that suppresses resistance.
can't fight back the winter
Unable to prevent the hardships or challenges that come with life.
Shooting dreams into your veins
Injecting aspirations or desires into yourself despite disregarding reality.
ignoring facts of life, prepare to drag the chains
Choosing to ignore the truths about life and preparing for a burdensome existence.
it's worth it for the kill, go on and shoot the thrill
Prioritizing excitement or pleasure, willing to risk everything for it.
your body aches to fire at will
Your body yearns to act freely without any inhibitions or restrictions.
Like mother like daughter, you're sentenced to the slaughter
Similar patterns of behavior or fate between mother and daughter, possibly in a negative context.
claw the worms out of your skin
Struggling to remove the negative influences or experiences embedded within oneself.
this is what you taught her
Implying that negative teachings or behaviors have been passed down from a mother figure.
But it's the land of the free, oh say can you see
A reference to the United States as a land of freedom, questioning its authenticity.
choke the right through the lungs
The suppression or suffocation of rights or freedoms.
feed the street machine
To support the system or society, one must sacrifice their individuality.
