Lyrics
There's nothing I want as much as you,
Expressing a strong desire for someone.
This hot and lonely night,
Describing a night that is both intense and isolating.
I watch the city lights talk at the sky,
Observing city lights and possibly contemplating life.
I'm filled with hate and longing from all this time alone,
Feeling a mix of anger and yearning due to prolonged solitude.
Now all I want to do is find a way back home!,
Expressing a strong desire to return home.
When the sun goes down, on these lawless streets,
Describing the setting of lawless streets when the sun sets.
Under cover of the night,
Acting covertly during the night.
I'm a killing machine!
Claiming to be a "killing machine," possibly metaphorical.
My dreams are torn and twisted,
Referring to shattered and distorted dreams.
In a place out of control,
Describing a place that is chaotic and beyond control.
Now the dark side of my love takes a hold,
The darker aspects of love taking control.
Like a vulture's paradise,
Comparing the situation to a vulture's paradise.
people don't know they're alive,
People unaware of their mortality.
Doing anything for kicks and dropping down like flies.
Engaging in reckless behavior with fatal consequences.
When the sun goes down, on these lawless streets,
Reiterating the lawlessness of the streets at night.
Under cover of the night,
Operating stealthily during nighttime.
I'm a killing machine!
Reaffirming the self-identification as a "killing machine."
The city wants to take your soul,
Describing the city as a soul-sucking entity.
And break you as it tries,
Highlighting the city's attempt to break and destroy individuals.
Snap your back, destroy you!
Using strong imagery of physical harm.
Leave you there to die!
Portraying a grim fate, abandoned to die.
When the sun goes down, on these lawless streets,
Repeating the depiction of lawlessness during the night.
Under cover of the night,
Reiterating secretive actions under the cover of darkness.
I'm a killing machine!
Reaffirming the self-ascribed identity as a "killing machine."
Cold, cold steel!
Introducing the concept of cold steel, possibly implying weaponry.
Down on your knees!
Suggesting submission or vulnerability, possibly in a confrontational situation.
Jesus forgive the killing machine!
Seeking forgiveness for the actions of the "killing machine," bringing a religious element into the narrative.
