This Toy
Extrema Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
About me and "my toy", bloody and gore
About my frustation and rage
I was tossing and turning,
My life was so boring
And so I started to "play"
Destroy
You have no future
I'm here to kill you
You're screaming in pain
Drives me insane
Remains of your corpses
Under my bed
A strange collection
Kept them in a bag
As I walk alone, up and down and around
Choosing victims, never to be found
Realized the monster is coming
Plotting and scheming
Cutting and draining
The life out of you
Destroy, This Toy
Destroy
You have no future
I'm here to kill you
You're screaming in pain
Drives me insane
Remains of your corpse(s)
Under my bed
A strange collection
Kept them in a bag
BRIDGE (GTR SOLO)
You know I'm just (a) Psichopath
Living in a world - apart
Killing is my only solution
Lurking inside my brain
You know I'm just a psychopath
You have no future
I'm here to kill you
You're screaming in pain
Drives me insane
Remains of your corpse(s)
Under my bed
A strange collection
Kept them in a bag
Destroy, This Toy
Destroy
The song "This Toy" by Extrema is a haunting and intense depiction of a psychopath and their obsession with killing. The song takes the form of a first-person narrative, where the singer talks about their frustration with their boring life and how they use killing as a means of entertainment. The lyrics are gruesome and depict the singer as someone who enjoys the feeling of taking someone's life. The line "you have no future, I'm here to kill you" is particularly chilling, as it shows how the singer sees their victims as dispensable and deserving of death.
The song talks about how the singer keeps the remains of his victims under his bed, illustrating the extent of his obsession. He talks about choosing victims who will never be found, indicating that he is very calculated in his actions. The guitar solo in the bridge adds to the eerie atmosphere of the song, and the lyrics "you know I'm just a psychopath, living in a world apart" show that the singer knows he is different from others, but he still does not see anything wrong with his actions.
One can interpret this song as a commentary on the effects of isolation, boredom, and frustration on individuals. It illustrates how someone can become so consumed by their inner demons that they resort to taking the lives of others as a means of entertainment. The song highlights the importance of mental health and how crucial it is to address any underlying issues as early as possible.
