Killer Instinct
Angelus Apatrida Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You hear the sound of the keys in the lock
Once again he comes as drunk as a lord

"Hey bitch! Guess who has come home!
I hope the dinner is ready and hot!"

You tremble with fear as he grabs his belt
This is time could be your last breath

Insults and lashes become your every day
Your children cry as you are beaten again

Not brave, she's not of your own
The killer instinct is your disorder
Mental disease ain't a proof of love
You made your monster, sentenced to death

Solo: David G. Álvarez

You can end this wretched life right here
You are stronger than your fear

One day you have to stop this carnage
It's time to face it with courage

Not brave, she's not of your own
The killer instinct is your disorder
Mental disease ain't a proof of love
You made your monster, sentenced to death

Solo: Guillermo Izquierdo

Don't you ever lay a finger on her
Take a look to all those scars you made
Shut up! I don't wanna hear your shit!
Step back, you deserve to die!

Cut his throat, take his tongue
And pull it through the hole
Tears his balls, put them in his dirty mouth
Grab a rope around his neck
And throw him off the wall
Unwelcome abusers and batterers to this home

Not brave, she's not of your own
The killer instinct is your disorder




Mental disease ain't a proof of love
You made your monster, sentenced to death

Line by Line Meaning

You hear the sound of the keys in the lock
As the door opens, your heart starts pounding.


Once again he comes as drunk as a lord
He's drunk, aggressive and abusive as always.


"Hey bitch! Guess who has come home! I hope the dinner is ready and hot!"
He's being sarcastic and demeaning to you as usual.

Your fear increases as he gets physical.

You fear for your life as the abuse continues.

Your children cry as you are beaten again
Your children witness the abuse and are traumatized by it.


Not brave, she's not of your own The killer instinct is your disorder Mental disease ain't a proof of love You made your monster, sentenced to death
Abusive behavior is not a sign of strength or love. It's a serious problem that needs to be addressed and stopped, or it will lead to tragic consequences. The abuser is responsible for their own actions and the consequences that come with them.


You can end this wretched life right here
You have the power to take control of your life and stop the abuse.


You are stronger than your fear
You have the strength and courage to stand up to the abuse and overcome your fear.


One day you have to stop this carnage It's time to face it with courage
The abuse needs to stop, and you need to confront the abuser with courage and determination.


Don't you ever lay a finger on her Take a look to all those scars you made Shut up! I don't wanna hear your shit! Step back, you deserve to die!
The abuser needs to be held accountable for their actions, and you have the right to defend yourself and protect your loved ones from harm.


Cut his throat, take his tongue And pull it through the hole Tears his balls, put them in his dirty mouth Grab a rope around his neck And throw him off the wall Unwelcome abusers and batterers to this home
This violent response is not condoned or glorified. It's a fictional representation of the rage and frustration felt by victims of abuse. The message is clear, abuse is not welcome or tolerated, and abusers should be held accountable for their crimes.
