The Little People
Arkangel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He shot them all... sick fuck
He shot them all
We don′t know what memories can do
Apocalypse culture, born in you
Do you know Joe, does Joe know you
Maybe it's you
Killer fiction, his mind expressing fear
Maybe it′s you




Overall Meaning

The above lyrics belong to "The Little People" song by Arkangel. The song is about a disturbed individual who has shot people, and there's a reference to "Little People" who probably provoke him. The lyrics describe the aftermath of the event and speculate about what memories can do to people if left unchecked. The song suggests that "Apocalypse Culture" is ingrained in people, and these incidences are more common than society would have us believe. It asks the hypothetical killer if he knows Joe, and whether Joe knows him, as a reminder that we're all interconnected. The lyrics also suggest that the killer's mind expresses fear, which he deals with using violent means. Lastly, the song asks the haunting question, maybe it's you, which implies that the next killer could be anybody.
