The band was formed by rapper Jared Gomes, also known as "M.C.U.D." (MC Underdog), and guitarist Wes Geer, who became friends amidst the Orange County hardcore punk scene. Gomes and Geer recruited guitarist Chizad, bassist Mawk, drummer B.C. Vaught and DJ Product © 1969. They named the group "Hed", which stands for "higher education". The band built a following with their energetic performances at local venues, and released the self-financed extended play, Church of Realities. Legal issues forced Hed to change their name, adding PE, which stood for Planet Earth.
Band members;
Jared Gomes — vocals (1994-current)
Mawk (Mark Young) — bass (1994-current)
DJ Product © 1969 (Doug Boyce) — turntables (1994-current)

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
Butterfly
The lyrics to (həd) p.e.'s song Killing Time paint a vivid picture of a troubled individual struggling with addiction, poverty, and feelings of alienation from society. The character described in the song is someone who engages in self-destructive behavior, using drugs and alcohol to numb the pain of a life that feels devoid of purpose and hope. The repeated refrain of "just killing time" underscores a sense of futility and despair, as the singer is stuck in a cycle of addiction and self-sabotage.
Despite this bleak outlook, there are moments of defiance and resilience in the lyrics as well. The line "God knows I tried / But no one understands me" speaks to a sense of frustration and isolation, but also suggests a determination to break free from societal expectations and carve out a path of one's own. Similarly, the references to "The Conqueror / The Lion / King" and "Son of the Sun God" suggest a sense of pride and self-belief, even in the face of adversity.
Overall, the lyrics to Killing Time capture the complex and often contradictory emotions that can arise from addiction and poverty. The song's chorus, with its repeated refrain of "nothing is over now," can be seen as both a cry of despair and a defiant statement of determination to keep going, no matter what.

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.
