Killing Spree
Death (Florida) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Planning for an alibi he then starts rehearsing
A human bomb just waiting to explode
This secret rage can't be controlled
Slaughtered the dreams of others
On left to recover
Self-inflicted wounds
Planning a killing spree
Victim of a conspiracy?
Getting bored with his current life
Rearranging with a knife
Greed before despair suspicion starts to grow
His life was spared for this he does not know
Screams filled the air there was no way to help
The ones he mourns he killed himself
Slaughtered the dreams of others
On left to recover
Self-inflicted wounds
Life he has comsumed
Planning a killing spree
Victim of a conspiracy?
The lyrics to the song "Killing Spree" by Death (Florida) detail the actions and motivations of a person on the verge of committing a mass murder. The song opens with a description of the character's outward appearance, which is in contrast to the violent inner turmoil that is brewing. The second line of the song, "Planning for an alibi he then starts rehearsing", suggests that this person is already planning to carry out a violent act, and is attempting to strategically avoid getting caught. The phrase "human bomb just waiting to explode" paints an unsettling picture of someone who is prepared to inflict harm on others without warning or remorse.
The third verse of the song is particularly unnerving, with lines like "Slaughtered the dreams of others/On left to recover" and "Self-inflicted wounds/Life he has consumed". These lyrics suggest that the person in question has already hurt others in some way, and has also inflicted harm on himself. The chorus repeats the phrase "Victim of a conspiracy?", which raises the possibility that this person may feel justified in seeking revenge because they believe that they have been wronged by others.
The final verse of the song details the actual act of violence, with lines like "Screams filled the air there was no way to help/The ones he mourns he killed himself". These lyrics suggest that the person in question was driven to violence by a combination of external factors (such as greed and suspicion) and internal turmoil (as evidenced by the self-destructive behavior mentioned earlier in the song).
Overall, "Killing Spree" is a haunting and disturbing song that sheds light on the motivations behind violent acts.
