needle
GodFlayer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fallen from the grace of society
My deeds have dammed my name
The blood on my hands is staggering
It's granted me world fame

Now I am lead into this box room
Where I shall meet my end
Specatators look in to see my doom
Among them are no friends

Needle!
Penance for my horrid deeds
Needle!
With a smile I take my seat
Needle!
As I'm strapped down I grin
Needle!
A martyr for my sins

I am strapped into a cold steel chair
By men with looks of hate
The Needle cuts through my arm's flesh
And then injects my fate

Pain shoots through my body and I find I'm paralyzed
My face twists in a sick fucking grin
As my death is realized

Needle!
I reap my just reward
Needle!
For the blood spilled and flesh torn!
Needle!
I am unrepentant
Needle!
For the deaths or the torment

My victims always begged for mercy
Their cries fell on deaf ears
I tortured, and flayed to hear their screams
And to feed on their fears

Now I go remorseless to my death
And for me tolls the bell
I still hear screams as I draw last breath
And as I fall to Hell

Needle!
I'm laughing as I fall
Needle!
Now I enter Satan's hall!
Needle!
My victims they see me




Needle!
Still laughing as my flesh is torn free

Overall Meaning

The song "Needle" by GodFlayer tells the story of a brutal criminal who has become famous for his heinous crimes. The lyrics suggest that he has been sentenced to death by lethal injection, and is now being led to his execution. He seems unrepentant about his actions, and even seems to take pleasure in his impending death. He compares the needle to a way of atoning for his sins, and perhaps even achieving martyrdom.


The first stanza sets the tone for the rest of the song. The criminal has fallen from grace, and his deeds have damned him in the eyes of society. He acknowledges that his actions have caused bloodshed and suffering, but instead of remorse, he seems to revel in the attention it has brought him. The second stanza describes his final moments before execution, as he enters a room surrounded by spectators who are there to witness his death. The chorus repeats the word "needle," suggesting that it is the only thing that can bring the criminal redemption for his sins.


The third stanza describes the physical sensation of the needle being injected into his arm. He experiences pain and paralysis, but also seems to enjoy the feeling. The final stanza suggests that he is still defiant even in death, and still enjoys the suffering of his victims. He even enters Satan's hall with a smile on his face.


Overall, the lyrics portray a twisted individual who revels in his own destruction. He seems to enjoy the notoriety that his crimes have brought him, rather than feeling remorse for what he has done. The repeated use of the word "needle" suggests that this is the only thing that can absolve him of his sins, but even in death, he seems unrepentant.
