Murderer
Yearning for Redemption: Unraveling the Depths of Wintersleep's 'Murderer'
Lyrics
You're gonna want it all back
You will desire to reclaim everything that was lost or taken
You're gonna want it all
You will desire to possess everything
You're gonna want it all back
You will want back all that was taken from you
You're gonna want it all
You will desire to have everything
You're gonna want it all back
You will seek to regain everything lost or taken
You're gonna want it all
You will want to have everything
Are you a starving man?
Questioning if you are desperately craving something
You're gonna want it all back
You will want back everything taken from you
You're gonna want it all
You will desire to possess everything
Are you a rightous man?
Asking if you consider yourself morally upright
Throwing the witches on the fire
Metaphorical reference to persecuting others
You're gonna burn em up
Implies taking action to destroy them
Are you so violent, yeah?
Asking if you are inclined towards violence
You're gonna want it all back
You will want back everything taken from you
You're gonna want it all
You will desire to possess everything
They're gonna cut your neck
Suggests potential harm or danger to you
Give me the words you said you liked
Requesting for previously spoken or cherished words
You're gonna want it all
You will desire to have everything
Are you a violent man?
Questioning if you tend towards violence
Are we the lovers in July?
Wondering if "we" experienced love during July
And then the lightning comes
An event of sudden and intense action or change
Oh, and it don't come back
Implying irreversibility or loss of something
You're gonna want it all back
You will want back everything taken from you
You're gonna want it all
You will desire to possess everything
Are you a violent man?
Questioning if you have violent tendencies
Throwing the witches on the fire
Metaphorical reference to persecuting others
They're gonna cut your neck
Implies potential harm or danger to you
