Beelzebub
Black Pistol Fire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who put that pistol in your hand?
Beelzebub did
Who spilled that blood from another man?
Beelzebub did

I'm gonna sing it to someone
And tell to all alive
Help me I'm lost
Tell me I'm lost in my way

Tell me I'm lost
Tell me I'm lost in my way

Just sound the earth so that I know the place
Beelzebub did (it)
Don't mind the heat and meet him face to face
Beelzebub did
Hey jc tell your papa, for me
I'm not guilty it's just the way I seem





Beelzebub did
Tell me I'm lost

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, the singer is referring to Beelzebub as the one who is responsible for putting a pistol in someone's hand and spilling blood from another man. Beelzebub is a name for the devil or a demon in various cultures and religions. The singer then pleads for help, acknowledging that they are lost and that they need to be told if they are lost in their way. They ask for the earth to be sounded so that they know where they are, and the line "Beelzebub did (it)" suggests that the devil is responsible for their confusion and lack of direction. Despite this, the singer seems to have some sort of connection or communication with Jesus, as they ask for a message to be sent to his father to indicate their innocence.


Overall, this song seems to be exploring themes of confusion, sin, and morality, with Beelzebub serving as a sort of scapegoat or symbol for the darker aspects of life. The lyrics suggest a desire for guidance and understanding, but also an acknowledgment that there may be forces at work beyond human control or comprehension.

"The 'lord of the flies' is a translation of the Hebrew Ba'alzevuv (Beelzebub in Greek). It has been suggested that it was a mistranslation of a mistransliterated word that gave us this pungent and suggestive name for the Devil, a devil whose name suggests that he is devoted to decay, destruction, demoralization, hysteria, and panic and who therefore fits in very well with Golding's theme." -An excerpt from Notes on Lord of the Flies
