Five Finger Death Punch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah!
Oh
I've got a killer's blood
Running deep inside my veins
(Down in my veins)
I was born without a name
(No name)
I see right through you, your opinions are a fucking joke
(Haha)
I crucify you, on a silver spoon I hope you choke
I'm tired of trying to please the world that spins around me
This time I'm doing it for me and me alone
I don't need anyone, don't think I ever did
Not trying to be selfish, just doing what I know
I'm a menace!
Right!
Oh
I'll fade the fuck away
Swear to God that I don't care
(I swear to Christ)
I'll die a lonely death cause I know that life ain't fair
(It ain't fair at all)
I can't pretend that I am someone that I'm not
I live for me, myself
You can't convince me that I'm wrong
I'm tired of trying to please the world that spins around me
This time I'm doing it for me and me alone
I don't need anyone, don't think I ever did
Not trying to be selfish, just doing what I know
I'm a menace!
Right!
Yeah!
I'm tired of trying to please the world that spins around me
(Why?)
This time I'm doing it for me and me alone
(All for me)
I don't need anyone, don't think I ever did
Not trying to be selfish, just doing what I know
I'm a menace!
I'm tired of trying to please the world that spins around me
(Why?)
This time I'm doing it for me and me alone
(All for me)
I don't need anyone, don't think I ever did
Not trying to be selfish, just doing what I know
I'm a menace!
Fucking menace!
Oh menace!
The song "Menace" by Five Finger Death Punch is a heavy metal track that delves into the distorted mind of a killer who is disillusioned with societal norms and expectations. The lyrics relay the killer's thoughts, feelings, and attitudes towards those who try to understand him or judge his actions. The opening lines, "Oh yeah, fuck it! / Yeah! / Oh / I've got a killer's blood / Running deep inside my veins" set an aggressive tone, immediately establishing the singer's violent and self-destructive nature. The singer then goes on to explain that he was born without a name, suggesting that he has no identity within society and is an outcast. He sees through the opinions of those around him, which he views as a "fucking joke" and takes pleasure in punishing them, "I crucify you, on a silver spoon I hope you choke."
The song illustrates the killer's desire to break away from the world that he perceives as spinning around him. He is tired of trying to please others and conforms to his own rules, living for himself alone. The lyrics "I'll fade the fuck away / Swear to God that I don't care" and "I'll die a lonely death cause I know that life ain't fair" exemplify the killer's violent and nihilistic outlook on life, that he is resigned to living and dying alone. The phrase "I'm a menace!" serves as a culmination of the singer's emotions, embracing his killer instincts as a badge of honor.
In conclusion, "Menace" is a dark and violent song that explores a killer's resignation and disillusionment with societal norms. The lyrics delve deep into the psyche of a disturbed individual and provide an outlet for the expression of antisocial and violent emotions.
