United
Carphax Files Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We came to kill... the sorrow left within our souls
We came to kill... the shame you left within us all.
We came to kill... forbidden paths of righteousness.
We came to kill... to fill the void of emptiness.

We came to...

We came to kill... ripping through the human race.
We came to kill... entire strands of DNA.
We came to kill... ripping through, dissolving light.
We came to kill... political self-sacrifice.





We came to kill.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Carphax Files's song United vividly portray the emotions of the singers who seem to hold a grudge against society, and seek to avenge themselves by killing. The first stanza describes their overwhelming grief and shame, which they attribute to the actions of an unknown entity. They now have come to annihilate that entity and everything it stands for. The second stanza employs violent imagery to portray the wrathful intent of the killers. They want to destroy everything that makes us human, including our DNA and our political ideals. Their eagerness to kill becomes more prevalent as the refrain "We came to kill" echoes throughout the song.


Taken overall, the song could be interpreted as a metaphor for a widespread sense of disenchantment with society and the governing systems in place. The killers are craving for a fundamental change in order to create a more fulfilling life. They believe they can achieve this change only through violence, which is a controversial standpoint.


As the song progresses, the lyrics become a bit more cryptic, leaving us with a sense of ambiguity. The reason behind the singers' anger or their target is never clearly defined. This vagueness could reflect the band's desire to provoke discussions or open up room for multiple interpretations.
