Molotov
Dead Silent Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got a lot on my mind, can't let it go
Still got a lot that I want, Imma get it though
Right now I'm at the pinnacle
And they always wanna say it gets better someday, I'm a cynic tho
Turned cold, need a winter coat
I'm a living ghost
Tried, but I never once fit the mold
Lost the map, I'm never getting home
Don't give me hope, just
Lay low, integrate a pay flow
Only way they get paid, taking out a bank loan
Lot of fakes, never entertain those
Drake clones
I'm original, your cover stay blown
I'm a king, so they call me pharaoh
And the girls still going feral
At your throat like a chain smoke
And I came from the dirt like a gravestone
Here to ruin your day
This what I learned, isn't how I was raised
Blue in the face
Making you swerve, you can stay out of my way
Angel on my shoulder
Didn't change when I got older
And he thinks he's taking over
Told him bye, wasn't great to know ya

I say la la la
As if everything was okay
Watch me sabotage everything doing great
I got a molotov if you wanna get in the way
My inhibitions are fighting to keep me sane

If I'm in control
Then why can't I get up and go?
Am I at the end of my rope
Or just getting sat at the edge of my throne?
Don't agree with the witch
She tell me to follow the yellow brick road
My life is a movie but I never know when the credits'll roll
Still waiting on a miracle though
Other side greener grass, but it's miracle-gro
Sometimes can't tell if I'm steering the boat
Or left dead in the water, and barely keeping afloat
Villian of the story
Think it's better for me
Tried to be the hero
That was getting boring
Let the plot thicken
Let the anger build
So I can let it out
Whenever I'm recording
Showing up is like half the battle
But it turned me bitter, filled me up on ammo
Old self, left in the gallows
Somehow still caught living in his shadow

I say la la la
As if everything was okay
Watch me sabotage everything doing great
I got a molotov if you wanna get in the way
My inhibitions are fighting to keep me sane

Showed love but they ain't once reciprocated
Matter fact, got manipulated
Spit on, backstabbed, and humiliated
Friendliness level got dissipated
I feel the hate
Don't think it's better to push you away
I know it's wrong, mouth has been taped
Holding my tongue, the words still escape

I say la la la
As if everything was okay
Watch me sabotage everything doing great




I got a molotov if you wanna get in the way
My inhibitions are fighting to keep me sane

Overall Meaning

In "Molotov" by Dead Silent, the lyrics delve into the singer's state of mind and their experience navigating through life's challenges.


The first verse reflects the singer's inner struggle as they acknowledge the weight on their mind. They express determination to attain their goals despite the obstacles they face. The line "Right now I'm at the pinnacle" suggests they are at a high point in their life, but they maintain a cynical attitude towards the notion that things will improve. Feeling isolated and disconnected from others, the singer compares themselves to a living ghost. They feel like they don't fit societal expectations and have lost their way, unable to find a path back home.


The second verse explores the singer's resilience and individuality. They refuse to entertain shallow and fake individuals, comparing them to copies of the artist Drake. The singer asserts their originality, stating that their cover remains blown, meaning their true self cannot be hidden. They also claim their power and popularity, being referred to as a king and attracting attention from girls. The line "I came from the dirt like a gravestone" implies that the singer has overcome hardships and risen to success, like a tombstone emerging from the ground.


The chorus repeats the phrase "la la la" as if to mask the struggles and maintain a facade of everything being okay. However, the singer admits that they often sabotage their own success, possibly due to their inhibitions and internal conflicts. They even express the idea of using an explosive metaphorically represented by a Molotov cocktail to confront obstacles in their path.


The third verse reveals the singer's disillusionment with relationships. They feel betrayed and taken advantage of, as their kindness is not reciprocated. They have endured being disrespected, deceived, and humiliated. This mistreatment carries a toll, and the singer admits to feeling the hate and contemplating pushing people away, recognizing it may not be the best solution. Their mouth has figuratively been taped, symbolizing their suppression of expressing their true feelings, and they struggle to hold their tongue, causing the words to spill out.


Overall, "Molotov" depicts a complex emotional journey, capturing themes of isolation, resilience, disillusionment, and the internal battles individuals can face. The lyrics showcase the singer's raw emotions and their struggle to maintain sanity amidst the hardships they encounter, ultimately revealing their desire for honesty and authenticity in their relationships and personal growth.
