Sick
Salem Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Hook]
6 car pile up, just a mile up
Sick sick sick sick
(Repeat)

Eyes on me, dreams on me
I'm waiting tables
When I am so able
When shit don't sound stable
My label accomplished it
I'm goin take over this
In fact, I warned you bitch
I'll make your tummy sick
I'm on some evil shit
Own this shit, scheme this shit
Demons talk to me
So thats who I'm leaving with
If you can't feed a bitch
Then you don't need a bitch
I'mma slit your wrist...
I'mma slit your wrist...
Be quiet little lamb
I need you for tonight
Wanna take a ride with me?
No thats the wrong seat
First I tie your hands and feet
Shh, don't make a peep
From the trunk they can see
They be bouncing with the beat

[Hook]

Cars in a circle
Little lamb in the middle
All the head lights, so bright
He ain't cast a shadow off
(Repeat)
I'm goin put bruises on some other fine bitch
I walk in and licked it
And this is so vicious
I gave it and hold it
But no you don't need it
So give that shit raw bitch
You get down for me
I'mma break your neck up and have it so fast
I need you to know you bout to fall out Sophina
And when I grow old and shit
Young bloods still know this shit
There is more evil then sits in the corridor
I'm on some coke, and some dope
And that coping shit
Gimme that codeine fast
I wan't that numbing shit
Evil round goes around
Peaking in doors and shit
Looking for ho's
And I am over it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Sick" by Salem are quite dark and disturbing, but they also represent a level of honesty and unflinching truthfulness that is rare in mainstream music. The song seems to be about the singer's exploration of a darker, more violent side of themselves, as they talk about "owning" and "scheming" things, and even threatening to harm people who are unable to "feed" them. The use of surreal imagery, like the 6 car pile up, and the repeated refrain of "sick sick sick sick," creates a sense of unease and discomfort, as if the singer is trying to unsettle the listener.


The chorus of the song, which repeats the phrase "Sick sick sick sick" over and over again, seems to represent a kind of release or catharsis for the singer, a way of expressing their darker impulses and allowing themselves to indulge in the kind of violent urges that they can't normally reveal. The use of the word "sick" could also be interpreted as a kind of self-diagnosis, as the singer recognizes the twisted and unhealthy nature of their desires.


Overall, "Sick" is a powerful and unsettling song that explores some very dark and troubling themes. While it might not appeal to everyone, it certainly stands out as a bold and uncompromising work of art.

People sleep on witch house. So many other artists in the mainstream and underground took influence from this sound and aesthetic, even to this day.
