Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(I fear there's a bad wind blowing through here!)
You better put up the shudders cause Lord knows
Now I ain't stoppin' ?till the worst gets alive
Little strutter don't you creep out that fuckin' rut
(It's best that you don't go walking through there)
Now please a don't bother knockin'
Cause God knows I ain't now stopping 'till you breathe none
Hey!
What I miss?
We're one and the same
Just give it the push while I kick-start
(There?s just no time for this)
Come on! Its just the hurt I'm looking for
I don't wanna live no more
You've got the gun, I've got the bullets
Don't wanna live no more
Oh baby, be my lover
Go on and pull that trigger!
You're the sin of this city, now repent for the wrong you've done
(I'm not sorry for this, not sorry at all)
You're a snake under cover
No room for another just these bad motherfuckers'
Leave a long trail of nothing, little bad boy with gun in hand
(Its best that you don?t go walking through there)
Now please a come boy a poppin'
Cause God knows I ain't now stopping 'till you breathe none
Hey!
What I miss?
We?re one and the same
Just give it the push while I kick-start
(There's just no time for this)
Come on! Its just the hurt I'm looking for
I don't wanna live no more
You've got the gun, I've got the bullets
Don't wanna live no more
Oh baby, be my lover
Go on and pull that trigger!
Let flood out the weasels hole, (Oh, Christ will you bury my body?)
To choke out all the lies it's told, (Oh, Christ will you bury my body?)
With time, hope the hurt gets old, (Oh, Christ will you bury my body?)
Let's fuck out the weasel's hole, (Oh, Christ will you bury my body?)
We'll keep marching to the top of this tower
As God isn't at home, no
There's nothing in the way that could stop us
It's your time to go
Hey!
What I miss?
We?re one and the same
Just give it the push while I kick-start
(There's just no time for this)
Come on! Its just the hurt I'm looking for
I don't wanna live no more
You've got the gun, I've got the bullets
Don't wanna live no more
Oh baby, be my lover
Go on and pull that trigger!
I don't wanna live no more
Go on and pull that trigger!
Don't wanna live no more
Be my lover go on and pull that trigger!
This song seems to be about violence and revenge. The lyrics talk about someone who is imposing their will on others, and using violence as a means to achieve their goals. They speak of wanting to hurt others, and of not wanting to live anymore. There seems to be a sense of desperation and hopelessness in the lyrics, as if the singer is trying to find meaning in a world that has none.
The mention of "gravemakers and gunslingers" is a reference to the Wild West, a time when gunslingers roamed the countryside and made their living by killing others. This suggests that the song is about a world that is lawless and violent, where there are no rules and no consequences. The repeated references to "don't wanna live no more" suggest that the singer is in a very dark place emotionally, and is struggling to find a way out.
Overall, the lyrics to this song seem to be about someone who is lost in a violent and hopeless world, and who is using violence as a means to try and make sense of it. It is a powerful and intense song that deals with some very heavy themes, and is likely to resonate with anyone who has ever struggled with feelings of hopelessness, despair, and anger.

We are alike in our desire for violence and destruction

Shoot and kill

Maybe someday the pain will go away
We'll keep marching to the top of this tower
We will keep going until we have achieved our violent goals
As God isn't at home, no
There is no higher power to stop us
There's nothing in the way that could stop us
No one can stop us from being violent and destructive
It's your time to go
You are going to die
I don't wanna live no more
I want to die
Be my lover go on and pull that trigger!
Join me in violence and destruction
