Paul Baloff
Ill Bill Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The last massacre fantastica ambassador
My castle's like Vlad Dracula's
Bath in blood, blast the snub
Plastic gloves, laugh at love
My heart is pitch black
Like a panther cub or a cancer lung
Call me acid tongue
Hit hard like Black Sabbath drums
Like an assassin does
Big silencers and massive guns
Cooked in the mind, the first to blast and the last to run
Look in my eyes, you'd think that Manson had a bastard son
Cast aside after dancing out a rancid cunt
Tabs and lines got me ranting & trashed inside a trance on drugs
I shovel snow up to my dome until my hands are numb
Bundles of dope I know my uncle would be amped to touch
A smorgasbord of enormous whores and trashy sluts
Nasty ass & jugs happily jack me till I'm blasting cum
And stay swerving into murder and perversion
Urgent when we're inserting lysergics in the virgin
Cadaveric maverick savages ravage the average
Evangelist family to famished cannibal sandwiches
Edible funerals, turn terrible to beautiful
Sever dudes for food, several medical tools are suitable
Trouble times - some will live, some will die
Chewed out in a tomb, found mummified
Shoot-outs in the summertime
Bubble crime, devil might drive-by
Genocide cenobite,
Rebels strike hard like a metal pipe
Bark like a kennel fight
Sharp like a venom bite
Dark like an ocean filled with sharks in the dead of night
Levitate and write, everything God said to Christ
Hell Awaits like Kerry King rocking metal spikes
Like Paul Baloff at studio 54 live
"Ultimate Revenge Tour" VHS, all time greatest




Spray death here - shoot the llama from the elbow
Like James Hetfield produced the Piranha demo

Overall Meaning

Ill Bill's song "Paul Baloff" is a haunting and dense depiction of violence, debauchery, and death. The lyrics paint a picture of a world where murder and perversion are the norm, and where the line between life and death is razor-thin. The title itself refers to the late Exodus frontman Paul Baloff, who epitomized the kind of heavy metal mayhem that Bill describes in the song.


The opening lines of "Paul Baloff" immediately set the tone for the grim subject matter to come. Bill describes himself as an "ambassador" of the "last massacre fantastica", suggesting that he is a representative of a dying breed of violent criminals. He goes on to describe his "castle" as being like Vlad Dracula's, further cementing the dark, gothic atmosphere. The references to blood and guns abound, with Bill boasting about his willingness to kill and his cavalier attitude towards love.


The lyrics continue in this vein, with Bill painting a bleak picture of a world where drugs, sex, and violence are intertwined. The imagery is graphic and visceral, with Bill describing himself as having a "pitch black" heart, and feeling as if he were the son of Charles Manson himself. The chorus of the song is equally intense, with Bill describing the violence and chaos that surrounds him as being like a "metal pipe" or a "venom bite". The verses and chorus blend together seamlessly, creating a sense of narrative cohesion that adds to the song's dark power.

Bundles of dope I know my uncle would be amped to touch
I deal drugs to financially support myself, but also knew that my uncle would be impressed by the quality and quantity of my wares


A smorgasbord of enormous whores and trashy sluts
I am promiscuous and often engage in sexual encounters with women who are not necessarily of high moral standing


Nasty ass & jugs happily jack me till I’m blasting cum

And stay swerving into murder and perversion
My violent and sexual tendencies are deeply ingrained, and I am unable to steer clear of these aberrant behaviours


Urgent when we're inserting lysergics in the virgin

I am equipped with an array of tools and weapons that allow me to dispatch my victims quickly and messily, with the intent of consuming their flesh later on


Trouble times - some will live, some will die
In the chaotic world we live in, survival is not a given, and many will perish in the brutal and violent landscape I inhabit


Chewed out in a tomb, found mummified
Some unlucky souls will meet a grisly end at my hands and be interred in a tomb, only to be discovered long after they have perished


Shoot-outs in the summertime
Violence is not restricted to certain seasons, and can occur at any time of year


Bubble crime, devil might drive-by
The underworld is rife with criminality and violence, and people who deal in these areas are often the targets of violence themselves


Genocide cenobite
I am a harbinger of immense destruction and violence, in line with a mythical demon or creature from the underworld


Rebels strike hard like a metal pipe

Bark like a kennel fight
I am loud, aggressive, and always looking for a fight


Sharp like a venom bite
My skills and weapons are deadly, and can dispatch victims as swiftly and painfully as a poisonous snake bite


Dark like an ocean filled with sharks in the dead of night
The world I inhabit is a dark, dangerous place, teeming with violent predators who prey upon the weak and helpless


Levitate and write, everything God said to Christ
I am a gifted artist who produces elaborate, intricate depictions of my violent exploits, often borrowing inspiration from religious or spiritual sources


Hell Awaits like Kerry King rocking metal spikes
The world I inhabit is a living Hell, and even the seemingly innocuous trappings of leisure activities (like Kerry King of heavy metal band Slayer) are tinged with violence and danger


Like Paul Baloff at studio 54 live

Spray death here - shoot the llama from the elbow
I am skilled enough in combat to deliver deadly blows with the most casual or innocuous weapons, like a lame llama and a well-placed elbow strike


Like James Hetfield produced the Piranha demo
I am notorious for my violent tendencies, much like James Hetfield, guitarist for rock band Metallica, is known for producing a particularly brutal demo track
