Sadistic Sinner
Incubus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Alone in my house
Full of hate and fear
Your death is near
My passion for killing will take you to death
I slay a victim I torture his wife
They die by my knife
I'm coming for you
So take your last breath
The more I kill, the more the need grows
I dislodge the eyes and hack off the nose

[CHORUS]
I'm a sadistic sinner
I will slash you at will
It is the devil inside me
Who makes me wanna kill
Evil
And you will die by my hand
Killer
And I'll make you understand
Possessed
Just like the knife in my hand
Killer

He taunts my soul and he twists my mind
The blood of my victims is all they can find
I dismember the body as its blood is being sprayed
I gaze in splendor at the mess I have made
Cold is the blade
I carry in rage
They live in fear
My passion for killing will take you to death
My soul is a demon that no one can save
I spread my disease
I'm coming for you
So take your last breath
The more I kill, the more the need grows
I dislodge the eyes and hack off the nose

[CHORUS]
I'm a sadistic sinner
I will slash you at will
It is the devil inside me
Who makes me wanna kill
I'm
Sadistic
Sinner




I'll kill you slow, I'll kill you fast
I'm coming for you, I'll kick your ass.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Incubus's song, Sadistic Sinner, paint a disturbing picture of a person consumed by a desire to kill. The first stanza describes the killer as being alone in their house, filled with hate and fear. The use of the word "passion" suggests a perverse pleasure that the killer gains from their actions. They have already killed one victim and tortured their spouse, and now they are coming for the listener, urging them to take their last breath. The more they kill, the more the need to kill grows within them, fueling their bloodlust. The second stanza further emphasizes the depravity of the killer, who seems to be possessed by a demonic force. They describe dismembering their victims and basking in the carnage they have wrought. The final stanza only adds to the sense of danger and urgency, with the killer promising to kill their next victim, the listener, slowly or quickly, and to kick their ass.


The song as a whole likely serves as a cautionary tale against giving into one's darker impulses. It paints a vivid and unsettling portrait of a person completely consumed by their bloodlust, and the chilling chorus, with its repetition of the words "sadistic sinner" drives home the point that this is someone beyond redemption. The lyrics also contain a sense of blurring lines between reality and fantasy, with the killer seeming to be almost enjoying the horrific imagery they evoke while singing.
