Murderous
I Am the Avalanche Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can't take it from me
No My cold dead hands are much stronger now
And no I can't figure out what the fuck I'm still doing here
So many places I can be
And I'm just killing time yeah before it kills me
Get down
Stay down
It's too big a hole to be digging out
To high to see the world you hate and
You're so murderous (murderous)
So murderous
Hold on just listen
No wait please listen to the sound seems like it's way closer now
High up on a cloud seems like the worst part's coming down it's coming down
And I'm just killing time yeah before it kills me
Come on at least its an honest way to be
Get down
Stay down
It's too big a hole to be digging out
To high to see the world you hate and
You're so murderous (murderous)
So murderous (murderous)
You're so murderous (murderous)
So murderous
What better way to make yourself look good than the first time
Yeah than the first time
What better way to make yourself feel good than the second time
Yeah than the second time
What better way, what better way
You're so murderous (murderous)
So murderous (murderous)
You're so murderous (murderous)
So murderous (murderous)
You're so murderous (murderous)
So murderous (murderous)
Murderous (murderous)
You're so
The lyrics in “Murderous” by I Am the Avalanche reflect a sense of feeling trapped and lost, looking for a way out. The lyrics “Can't take it from me, no My cold dead hands are much stronger now” indicate the singer's refusal to surrender what they have. The following line “And no I can't figure out what the fuck I'm still doing here” shows the singer's confusion about their current situation. They feel lost and unsure, struggling to find a sense of purpose.
The second verse continues this theme, with the line “High up on a cloud seems like the worst part's coming down it's coming down.” This line represents the fear of things falling apart. However, instead of trying to fix the situation, the singer is just “killing time” until they can figure out what to do. The repetition of the phrase "You're so murderous" gives a sense that the singer is fighting against an unknown force and feeling very overwhelmed.
The repetition of the phrases “Get down, stay down, it's too big a hole to be digging out, too high to see the world you hate” emphasizes the idea of being trapped and feeling stuck in a situation from which there seems to be no escape. The last lines of the song “You're so murderous" could be interpreted as the entire world looking to bring the singer down, leaving them feeling powerless.
