Deadly Melody
Jedi Mind Tricks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you're fallin' into this tomb
It's like you're crawlin' into your tomb
Deadliest of melodies, deadliest of melodies
Once the wraths get a hold of your soul
It's like you're trapped and there's no way to go
Deadliest of melodies, deadliest of melodies
I don't have a thought to care
It's off, it's my cross to bare
Lost the cross I used to wear. I am cost aware
Partnership with darkness, we're an awesome pair
Sought position, wall facing office chair
In the depths of hell, death for sale
With blood that propels from the cells, And every L is extra L
It's hot here, hear the sears from the dropped tears
It's an opera to the ears, of gospel fears
Hot careers, Grotesque, slow deaths
Here is where I am Nobelist and oversexed
It's a whole mess of loneliness, no regrets
Unholiness corrosive mental Rolodex
I know uncertainty, personally, Murder uncourteously, mercilessly
Sole safe haven, open up my swollen heart
The whole greater than the sum of its broken parts
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Vinnie Paz]
I'm your worst nightmare
The reversal of Christ here
The only thing you seeing is the shadow and knife glare
Me, I ain't the type of motherfucker to fight fair
Pistol grip pump, chainsaw and a pipe here
Y'all are pussy watered down like a light beer
I don't run from it, I embrace it, I like fear
Texas-chainsaw massacre I invite fear
Call me leatherface motherfucker I'm right here
Call me any other person that's an evil killa
Pazieso pontius pilate call me Jesus killa
Call me Richard Ramirez because he spill venom
I'm Mark David Chapman before he killed Lennon
I was studying my lessons when the earth was seedless
You like Judas iscariot he murdered Jesus
The way my operation work is like a surgeons thesis
I'll drink the period blood of a fuckin' virgin priestess
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Demoz]
It's the D.E.M.O.Z.
Naw homey you can't control me
I pop slowly, thinking you know me
Slow, phoney niggas, is starring hard, like I'm lookin' familiar
If you don't owe me, I ain't lookin' to kill ya
Still it smell too funny, the plot thicken, a lot of you die snitchin'
ligaments missing, illiterate niggas die hissin'
Why would I wana trade my soul for your riches and lose to the devil?
I never break the rules of the ghetto
From borough to borough, I rep the most thoroughest city, Philly
The livest rhymers, pay homage cuz I'm a survivor. You lying
DEMOZ
Either you love me or hate me, hug me or snake me
Lately I been behaving like I ain't got a baby
Maybe it's the way my lady treat me
Crazy, shady thoughts run through my head by the minute but still I play my part
Peace to every piece of piece of shit
My piece of work is not a piece of nothing, fronting if I'm bringing peace to Earth
[Hook]
The lyrics of "Deadly Melody" by Jedi Mind Tricks featuring Block McCloud, Jus Allah, Vinnie Paz, and Demoz paint a picture of darkness, violence, and despair. In the hook, Block McCloud describes falling into a tomb and feeling trapped with no escape, suffocated by a deadly melody. The first verse by Jus Allah describes a sense of apathy, even as he partners with darkness and dwells in the depths of hell. He revels in the grotesque and the oversexed, and his mental state is corrosive, full of uncertainty, murder, and no regrets. Yet he finds a haven in his own heart, where the pieces come together despite their brokenness. The second verse by Vinnie Paz is more visceral and violent, describing his love for fear and how he embraces it with chainsaws, pistols, and a lust for blood. He likens himself to evil killers and revels in the murder of those who stand in his way. The final verse is by Demoz, who is more measured and reflective, describing himself as untouchable and uncontrolled. He is wary of snitches and those who would trade their soul for riches. He confronts his own emotions, which are both crazy and shady, but nevertheless, he plays his part and brings peace to the earth.
Overall, "Deadly Melody" is a masterful depiction of the darker side of human nature, where violence and despair rule supreme. The artists delve deep into their own psyches and emerge with lyrics that are both brutal and honest, revealing the flaws and demons that we all must confront. The melody that they weave throughout the song is indeed deadly, draping the vocals in a dark and ominous aura that is both captivating and haunting.

Sought position, wall facing office chair
I've been seeking power and status, but the position is confining and unfulfilling

With blood that propels from the cells, And every L is extra L
Blood is coursing through my veins, and every loss feels multiplied
It's hot here, hear the sears from the dropped tears
The environment is intense and emotional, and my tears sizzle when they hit the ground

I have a deep, personal connection to the unknown, and I'm willing to kill violently

My only safe place is to express the intense emotions I'm feeling
The whole greater than the sum of its broken parts
Despite my brokenness, everything together is still greater and powerful
I'm your worst nightmare
I'm someone you should be afraid of
The reversal of Christ here
I'm the opposite of a benevolent, holy figure
The only thing you seeing is the shadow and knife glare
All you see is my shadow and the glint of a knife
Me, I ain't the type of motherfucker to fight fair
I'm not honorable, and I'll use whatever means necessary to win
Pistol grip pump, chainsaw and a pipe here
I'm carrying weapons, including a gun and a chainsaw
Y'all are pussy watered down like a light beer
You're weak and diluted, like a cheap and weak beer
I don't run from it, I embrace it, I like fear
I don't avoid fear; in fact, I welcome it and find it thrilling
Texas-chainsaw massacre I invite fear
I'm as terrifying as the infamous movie character, and I dare you to face me
Call me leatherface motherfucker I'm right here

I'm Mark David Chapman before he killed Lennon

I was studying my lessons when the earth was seedless
I've been around for a while, even before life began on this planet
You like Judas iscariot he murdered Jesus
You're like the biblical figure who betrayed Jesus and caused his death
The way my operation work is like a surgeon's thesis
My actions are precise and calculated, like that of a skilled surgeon
I'll drink the period blood of a fuckin' virgin priestess
I'm willing to engage in the most grotesque and disturbing behavior
It's the D.E.M.O.Z.
I'm Demoz
Naw homey you can't control me
You can't impose your power or authority over me
I pop slowly, thinking you know me
I take my time, and you don't truly understand me
Slow, phoney niggas, is starring hard, like I'm lookin' familiar
Some people are trying to act tough around me, even though we're strangers
If you don't owe me, I ain't lookin' to kill ya
If you haven't wronged me or caused me harm, I'm not seeking revenge
Still it smell too funny, the plot thicken, a lot of you die snitchin'
Despite the lack of vendetta, there's still a sense of danger and mistrust, especially among those who betray or talk too much
Ligaments missing, illiterate niggas die hissin'
People who are uneducated and ignorant tend to die violently and painfully
Why would I wanna trade my soul for your riches and lose to the devil?
Why would I compromise my moral values and integrity for material gain or success, which ultimately leads to self-destruction?
I never break the rules of the ghetto
I stay true to the unspoken social norms and laws of the neighborhoods I come from
From borough to borough, I rep the most thoroughest city, Philly
I'm loyal to and represent the toughest and most intense parts of Philadelphia
The livest rhymers, pay homage cuz I'm a survivor. You lying
The best rappers in the game respect and recognize my survival and resilience, despite the danger and brutality of my lifestyle, which others may try to deny
DEMOZ
I'm Demoz
Either you love me or hate me, hug me or snake me
People tend to have strong feelings and opinions about me, either positive or negative
Lately I been behaving like I ain't got a baby
Recently, I've been acting recklessly and without a sense of responsibility or purpose, despite having a child
Maybe it's the way my lady treat me
Perhaps my partner's behavior and attitude are negatively influencing my own
Crazy, shady thoughts run through my head by the minute but still I play my part
I have constant, dangerous thoughts, but I still continue to participate in the toxic lifestyle I'm in
Peace to every piece of piece of shit
I have no respect for anyone, including myself
My piece of work is not a piece of nothing, fronting if I'm bringing peace to Earth
I may not be making positive changes or contributing to the greater good, but I'm not pretending to do so either

Every song with Jus on it gets 20 times better once he starts speaking on the track. Nothing against the other lyricists, but I go from casually nodding my head to an almost metal type headbang once I hear his voice. His bars are more like punches to the body for me.
