CONVOLK Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Would you gun a man down?
Take better for me
When I run around town
They ain't having from me
When it's all said and done
Would you settle for me?
Would you backstab slash?
Take metal for me?

Would you gun a man down?
Take better for me
When I run around town
They ain't having from me
When it's all said and done
Would you settle for me?
Would you backstab slash?
Take metal for me?

Oh, what am I gonna do?
What am I coming to?
What am I gonna do?

Oh
I'ma lose it all in a suicide note
I'ma lose it all, every mile that I rode
Doing my shift in a '95 glow
I can never fall, if I never had floors

Get it, got it
Got it, good
I've been
So misunderstood
Only doing Hollywood

Got it, lose it
But it's good
Get it, got it
Got it, good
I've been
So misunderstood
Only doing Hollywood
Got it, lose it
But it's good

Would you gun a man down?
Take better for me
When I run around town
They ain't having from me
When it's all said and done
Would you settle for me?
Would you backstab slash?
Take metal for me?

Would you gun a man down?
Take better for me
When I run around town
They ain't having from me
When it's all said and done
Would you settle for me?
Would you backstab slash?
Take metal for me?

Would you gun a man down?
Take better for me
When I run around town
They ain't having from me
When it's all said and done
Would you settle for me?
Would you backstab slash?
Take metal for me?

Would you gun a man down?
Take better for me
When I run around town
They ain't having from me
When it's all said and done
Would you settle for me?

Would you backstab slash?
Take metal for me?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of convolk's song "backstab slash" are open to interpretation, but one possible meaning is a plea for loyalty and trust in relationships. The singer asks if his partner would go so far as to hurt or kill someone for him, indicating the depth of commitment he desires. He also acknowledges his own instability and potential for self-destruction in lines like "I'ma lose it all in a suicide note" and "Only doing Hollywood."

The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the importance of these questions to the singer, suggesting that he is seeking reassurance or confirmation of his fears. The use of violent imagery, such as "backstab slash" and "take metal for me," adds a darker tone to the song and highlights the consequences of betrayal or disloyalty. The final lines, "Would you settle for me?" suggest that the singer may not feel worthy of such devotion, and is perhaps struggling with feelings of insecurity or inadequacy.
