I Want to Kill You
Citizen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Their banging their drums and they point to me
I'm only alive when I need to be
I'll keep on digging up my lost cause
It comes so slow but suddenly
The things that make you happy
They are not enough for me
I'll keep on running but it gets so tiring
And when there is nothing left to write down
Oh, will you come running when I get too tired?
In the bright red sky I saw a pain that I clung to once before
But I never want to go there anymore
And in my bright blue eyes I know I'm looking for something to calm my nerves
The clock is a knife and I wait my turn
and it's just getting worse
I'll keep it coming if you want some more
I'll keep on running but it gets so tiring
And when all the water fills my lungs up
Oh, will you come running when I get too tired?
I just want to play god for myself
I just want war and nothing else
I'll keep it coming if you want some more
I'll keep on running but it gets so tiring
And when I got nothing left to give you
Oh, will you come running when I get too tired?
The song 'I Want to Kill You' by Citizen is a song that deals with the theme of mental exhaustion and the frustration and loneliness that come with it. The singer of the song seems to feel lost and disconnected from the things that make other people happy. He feels like he can only come to life when he is in dire need of something, i.e., when he needs to express himself through his writing. The lyrics "I'll keep it coming if you want some more, I'll keep on running but it gets so tiring" and "And when there is nothing left to write down, Oh, will you come running when I get too tired?" suggest that the writer is struggling to keep going and is looking for someone to rely on when he can no longer do so himself.
The chorus of the song also seems to indicate a desire to have control over his life and to be able to play god for himself. The line "I just want war, and nothing else" suggests a sense of frustration and anger that the singer feels towards himself or others. The clock is also a recurring image in the lyrics, with the line "The clock is a knife and I wait my turn, and it's just getting worse" indicating the looming sense of time passing and the fear of missing out on life.
In conclusion, the song 'I Want to Kill You' is a poignant and reflective piece that tackles themes of frustration, loneliness, and control. The lyrics, along with the raw and heartfelt delivery of the song, make it a memorable and moving piece of art.

Success and progress often seem to take a long time to achieve, but can suddenly come to fruition

I once held onto a source of pain and suffering that I can still vividly recall
But I never want to go there anymore
But now I don't want to relive those painful experiences
And in my bright blue eyes I know I'm looking for something to calm my nerves
I am searching for something to ease my anxieties and worries
The clock is a knife and I wait my turn
Time feels like it is slowly cutting me apart, and I am waiting for something to happen
And it's just getting worse
The situation is deteriorating and becoming more unbearable
I just want to play god for myself
I want complete control over my own life and destiny
I just want war and nothing else
I am determined to pursue my goals regardless of the cost, even if it leads to conflict and destruction
And when I got nothing left to give you
When I have exhausted all my resources and can no longer meet your demands
Oh, will you come running when I get too tired?
Will you be there for me when I am too exhausted to continue?
