Funker Vogt vs. Velvet Acid Christ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Malfunction
Eats through these dreams
Shapes me into 3
Memories
Beat my head
Yeah
The race
And the lies
The ruined life
Destruction
Unfold of differn't shapes
That explode
The night
I push it further in the light
Pulls me to the edge of where I lie
The waves are falling back
Into this circleof my life
Where they crawl
They push me back again into the knife
Malfunction
Destruction
They push me inside out
Malfunction destruction
They push me inside out
Calm down and realize
When the end is coming near
They push
They push
They push me inside out
They push
They push
They push my inside's out
They push
They push
They tore me inside out
Yeah
Shot
Kill me
Shot down
Uhh sike
Now kill me
Yeah
Shot down
Racing
The future's nightmare
Comes down through the windows of your house
No cost of life
Four consolations
Never changed my mind
Four reasons they will take a life and drain it out of my soul
Your call
No life
No way
They burn you
No call
No life
Yeah
They push me inside out
Yeah yeah yeah
They push me inside out




Yeah yeah yeah
They push me inside out

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Funker Vogt and Velvet Acid Christ's song Malfunction are cryptic and intense. The singer is experiencing a profound sense of self-destruction that affects his memories, dreams, and ultimately his reality. His life is in ruins due to the combination of lies, a hectic lifestyle, and the weight of his own actions. The chorus of the song, "Malfunction destruction, they push me inside out," is repeated throughout the song and represents the singer's feelings of helplessness and the overpowering nature of his situation. The line "the waves are falling back into this circle of my life" could be interpreted as the singer feeling like he's stuck in a cycle of self-destruction.


The verses in the song describe the singer's experiences in more detail. He describes how the destruction is eating through his dreams and shaping him into something darker. He feels like he's being pushed to the edge of his existence, and the waves are falling back into the circle of his life, forcing him back into the cycle of destruction. The lyrics "Shot, kill me, shot down" can be interpreted as the singer's wish for the pain to end. In essence, the song is about the destructive nature of our actions and the way they shape us into something unrecognizable.
