Deadly Intentions
Defiance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Until that one night
When the anger grew inside me
And the moon lost its light
Now I find myself with
An uncontrollable need
To kill my victim slowly
Deadly intentions
Is all my mind cries out
Deadly intentions
Wanting to kill without a doubt
By some stroke of luck
I escaped possession
God above convinced me
That it was only a lesson
Always to be second
And waiting to be nexted
I was never good enough
For her love and her sex
Deadly intentions
Is all my mind cries out
Deadly intentions
Wanting to kill without a doubt
Now that you will listen
Look deep into my eyes
I've been drained of feeling
And I'll tell you why
I have gave her flowers
And all I could afford
Only to discover
She's just a fucking whore
Deadly intentions
Is all my mind cries out
Deadly intentions
Wanting to kill without a doubt
Dare to play the game
Watch her plan unfold
She knows you will give up
Your body and your soul
You give up all your morals
Your conscience and your heart
Then you will be trapped
Till death do us part

My life seemed so perfect
I used to have a happy life
Until that one night
But then something changed one night
When the anger grew inside me
I became very angry
And the moon lost its light
Everything felt dark and hopeless
Now I find myself with
I am now struggling with
An uncontrollable need
A strong urge that I can't resist
To kill my victim slowly
To murder someone in a very cruel way
So I can hear her plea
And enjoy listening to her begging for her life
Deadly intentions
All I think about is killing
Is all my mind cries out
That's the only thing I can focus on
Wanting to kill without a doubt
I have no uncertainty or hesitation about killing
By some stroke of luck
Thankfully, something fortunate happened
I escaped possession
I avoided being controlled by something sinister
God above convinced me
I received help and guidance from a higher power
That it was only a lesson
That the experience was a way for me to learn something
Always to be second
I was never the first choice
And waiting to be nexted
I was always expecting to be replaced
I was never good enough
I always felt inadequate
For her love and her sex
I believed that she didn't love me or desire me
Now that you will listen
Since you are paying attention
Look deep into my eyes
Gaze into my eyes
I've been drained of feeling
I have lost all my emotions
And I'll tell you why
And I will explain why
I have gave her flowers
I gave her presents
And all I could afford
But only what I could afford
Only to discover
To find out later
She's just a fucking whore
That she is a promiscuous person
Dare to play the game
If you're brave enough to participate
Watch her plan unfold
See her scheme take shape
She knows you will give up
She is aware that you will surrender
Your body and your soul
You will relinquish your physical and spiritual self
You give up all your morals
You abandon all of your ethical principles
Your conscience and your heart
You lose your sense of right and wrong, and your compassion
Then you will be trapped
At that point, you will be stuck
Till death do us part
Until one of us dies
