Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lost another life
Didn't say goodbye
Should've said I'm sorry
But I couldn't apologize
Angel in my eyes
I couldn't get it right
I wish you could've stayed with me
When you walked away that night
It's hard to say I'm fine
It's hard for me to cry
Hurt People, Hurt People
Happens all the time
Now I reminisce and I wish I could rewind
Now I reminisce and I wish I could rewind
Lost another life
Didn't say goodbye
Should've said I'm sorry
But I couldn't apologize
Angel in my eyes
I couldn't get it right
I wish you could've stayed with me
When you walked away that night
It's hard to say I'm fine
It's hard for me to cry
Hurt People, Hurt People
Happens all the time
Now I reminisce and I wish I could rewind
Now I reminisce and I wish I could rewind
Lost another life
Didn't say goodbye
Should've said I'm sorry
But I couldn't apologize (I'm Sorry but I couldn't apologize)
Angel in my eyes (You're so perfect to me)
I couldn't get it right
I wish you could've stayed with me
(I wish I could change how it was so you wouldn't have walked away that night)
When you walked away that night
It's hard to say I'm fine (Are you ok)
It's hard for me to cry (Imma wipe your tears away)
Hurt People, Hurt People
Happens all the time
Now I reminisce and I wish I could rewind
Now I reminisce and I wish I could rewind
Lost another life
Didn't say goodbye
Should've said I'm sorry
But I couldn't apologize (I'm Sorry but I couldn't apologize)
Angel in my eyes (You're so perfect to me)
I couldn't get it right
I wish you could've stayed with me
(I wish I could change how it was so you wouldn't have walked away that night)
When you walked away that night
It's hard to say I'm fine (Are you ok)
It's hard for me to cry (Imma wipe your tears away)
Hurt People, Hurt People
Happens all the time




Now I reminisce and I wish I could rewind
Now I reminisce and I wish I could rewind

Overall Meaning

The song "People" by D.P & K-Cut is a satirical take on society and the people that make it up. It poses the question of whether or not life would be better without certain people, specifically those who are small-minded, petty, and annoying. The lyrics go on to suggest that these people deserve some kind of punishment, such as being killed or suffering in some way.


The song also touches on the idea of lying and hypocrisy, and how some people seem to have opinions about everything even though they know very little. It suggests that these people should have their tongues cut out so that they can't spread their opinions anymore.


The lyrics then turn to the idea of slow people and how they hold back the faster, more efficient people. The song argues that this is a crime and that something should be done to rectify it.


Finally, the song suggests that the world needs a brutal gardener to weed out all the undesirable people. It invokes historical figures such as Vlad the Impaler, Genghis Khan, and Adolf Hitler as examples of people who were willing to take extreme measures to achieve their goals.


Overall, the song is a dark satire that pokes fun at the flaws of society and the people in it.


Line by Line Meaning

Do you ever think about
Have you ever meditated on


What a lovely place the world would be
How beautiful the world would appear


Without all the people
If none of humanity existed


That make life so unpleasant?
Who ruin every aspect of existence


All the small, petty people
Individuals that are trifling and vexatious


All the ugly, annoying people
The unsightly and bothersome individuals


It's hard not to think about it
It is challenging not to cogitate on these thoughts


I like to think about
Personally, I ponder about


What could be
The feasible outcomes


Done to these people
That could be administered upon these people


Something cruel
Actions that are sadistic


Something mean
That should be ill-natured


Something just
Actions that are fair


But the meaner the better
The more wicked, the more satisfactory


Goodness knows they deserve it
It is certain they merit such treatment


Have you ever dreamed of
Have you ever fancied


Killing all the stupid people?
Eradicating all imbeciles?


Not just the unintelligent people
Not only the witless individuals


But the sort that don't know anything about anything
But those who are completely ignorant


But seem to have opinions about everything
Yet seem confident with opinions on everything


They're only too ready to offer their advice about
They're always eager to give advice on


How to run your life
The course of your life


And yet look at how they run their own lives
Despite their own lives being chaos


For the most part they've accomplished nothing
They mostly haven't achieved anything


They've contributed nothing
They've given nothing to society


Their lives are miserable
Their lives are full of misery


But they talk, talk, talk
Yet, they blabber incessantly


At the very least their tongues should be cut out
At minimum, their tongues ought to be excised


Have you ever wanna
Have you ever desired to


Kill all the people who tell lies?
Murdering those individuals who deceive?


Some certainly deserve it
Surely, a few merit this fate


Not necessarily the big liars
Perhaps not those who are notorious for lying


Or even those who teach lies as truth
Also, those who promote falsehood as verity


I'm talking about people
I refer to individuals


Who say one thing and do another
Whose words differ from their actions


Or who tell you they sent something express mail
Or persons who claim to have sent an item with priority mail


When you know they haven't
When you are aware it is a lie


Did you ever want to
Have you ever wished to


Kill all the slow people in the world?
Euthanize all the lethargic individuals globally?


The people who are in front of you
Those who lag before you


When they should be behind you
When they should be trailing you


A crime that the swift should be held back by the slow
It's a misdemeanor that the rapid are hindered by the sluggish


And it's criminal that nothing is going to rectify it
It's felonious that there's no resolution in sight


And what about all the really ugly people?
Additionally, what about individuals that are exceptionally unattractive?


Add them to the list as well
Include them in the aforementioned register


Some people try not to think about life's ugliness
Numerous people evade deliberating upon unpleasant reality


I've thought about it
I've contemplated on it


I've thought about it quite a lot
I've meditated upon it extensively


Something should be done to these people
These individuals should face consequences


Something to make them suffer
Activities that make them undergo anguish


The way they've made us suffer
In the same manner, they've made us undergo pain


I say, bring back the circus maximus
I suggest reestablishing the Colosseum


For starters
Primarily


Unless these weeds are dealt with
When these individuals are not eliminated


They'll poison everything
They'll contaminate everything in their path


They are poisoning everything
They are in the process of tainting everything


We need a gardener
Humanity urgently requires a gardener


A brutal gardener
A gardener that isn't afraid to be savage


A thorough, thoughtful gardener
A gardener that is attentive and careful


An iron gardener
A gardener with an unyielding character


Whatever happened to Vlad the Impaler?
What is the fate of Vlad the Impaler?


Where's Genghis Kahn when you need him?
Where is Genghis Khan in present times?


Or Roi d'Ys?
How about Roi d'Ys?


Ayatollah Khomeini
Ayatollah Khomeini


Adolf Hitler
Adolf Hitler


Benito Mussolini

Nero

Diocletian

Kitchener

Come back!
Please reappear!
