Guillotine
Death Grips Lyrics

It goes, it goes, it goes, it goes
Emphasizing the start of the song with repeated lines.

Guillotine yeah
Referring to the song's title and foreshadowing the song's violent and dark lyrics.

Sit in the dark and ponder how I'm fit to make the bottom fall through the floor
Contemplating how to make something drastic happen.

And they all fall down yeah
The result of the drastic plans falling through and having negative consequences.

A bombardment of words used to curse or harm someone.

Cobra spit over apocalyptic cult killer cauldron smoke
An intense mixture of venomous words over an atmosphere of death and destruction.

Stomp music seriously yeah
A heavy and aggressive type of music that is taken seriously.

Can't stop the groove licks jaws clear off them locks relentless raw movement

Fit to knock you from here to that g-spot body rock connected
The music is so intense that it can stimulate the listener in a sexual manner.

To everything you want, ever did want
The music provides an escape from reality and fulfills any desires or wants.

We got it why not come get it, stick your head in that hole

The screens flashing red, can't see shit but heads
