Killing Time
(həd)P.E Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby, I'm on fire
Baby, I'm bout to creep up inside ya
Getting high all day, drinking whiskey all night
Flipping of the police when them tricks pass by
I'm that fool next door, always late with his rent
I'm that loser on the couch, watching Springer and getting head
Dreaming about a better time, better place, better life
Just killing time
Kiss that world goodbye
Its all over now
Nothing is over now
God knows I tried
But no one understands me
The black sheep of the family
My enemies - they try to over take me
Burning and looting till Babylon break me
Look me in the eyes baby, ride with me
I can take it there, ride with me
I know what you want, where you live, what you need
I can make it real, hold it down for you, feel you bleed
Just killing time
Kiss that world goodbye
Its all over now
Nothing is over now
I keep my eyes on the stars
That's where I come from
Belt of Orion
Son of the Sun God
You know my name, I'm The Conqueror
The Lion
King, Ka Maya Maya& come
Twenty Twelve, come twelve tribes, come twelve strands, come twelve lives
Twelve steps, twelve months, twelve drug dealers
All make bail, kicked cause of the crowded jails
Sex and violence sells
Twelve serial killers, twelve dead without a trail or a trace&
It's prime time, the fight night, pay per view, suicide, the bee sting

"Həd)p.e.'s" song "Killing Time" portrays the life of someone who struggles with addiction, violence and social rejection. The lyrics in the song display the inner feelings of the character who seems to want to live a better life, but drugs and alcohol take precedence over everything else. The song begins with the singer addressing himself as a survivor and being on fire. It shows that he is willing to fight the odds and is looking for a way out of his current situation. The fact that he is looking for a "quick fix" shows that he is aware of his weaknesses but still finds it hard to control himself. He is portrayed as someone who doesn't follow social norms and doesn't care about paying rent.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the cynical attitude of the singer because he has given up on making a meaningful impact on the world. He acknowledges that his life is not perfect, and he is struggling. He seems to have lost all hope of bringing about change and is merely drawing inspiration from his vices. The lines "Kiss that world goodbye, it's all over now, Nothing is over now" clearly state that the singer has given up on trying to make his life better.
The character in the song is searching for an escape and has found a way to numb his pain through drugs and alcohol. He is portrayed as someone who is constantly searching for a better life but is too consumed by his addictions, sadness and loneliness that he can't seem to get out of the cycle he's in. The singer's hopelessness is exacerbated by the fact that he does not feel understood by anyone around him. He believes he is the black sheep of the family, and his enemies are trying to take him over.

I use WORDS as a WEAPON...
To diffuse my ABSURD OBSESSION...
I abuse discourse, through AGGRESSION.
To display, we create our own LESSONS.
I DEFY my own LAWS....
To ANNIHILATE what I'm NOT.
My conspiracies APPLAUD....
Eternal mirrors that see my FLAWS.
I eat my own LIES, I DESPISE.
To free my own MIND, by DESIGN.
I am my own SLAVE, till the GRAVE.
Every day I'm AMAZED, at what I MAKE.
Love it when I BREAK, into new INTRICATE THINGS.
Love it when I TAKE, time from ETERNAL BEINGS.
