Mercy
K.M.F.D.M_ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ho un brutto presagio, me ne vado, vago nel buio e cado
Sono il fato affilato come il karma se incazzato
A te t'ho perforato, sopra i quattro quarti
Squarcio scarsi in quattro parti, quattro tardi, è scontato
Scendo all'inferno, vieni con me fratè
No Mercy, è un cliché, qui è giustizia fai da te
I'm back on the track, Lucifero è tornato
Gioca la tua anima ad un giro di Black Jack
Il tuo incubo peggiore per me è pace interiore
Il boia prova gioia quando tu provi dolore
Nella testa un processore, sputo rime a ripetizione
Sotto l'alluvione con lo sguardo fiero nel campione
Do nome alla ribellione, scopo a tutto questo
La cazzo di rivoluzione nel cazzo di testo




Darti ragione? No grazie, meglio il decesso
Niente pietà né cuore dopo quello che è successo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of K.M.F.D.M_'s song Mercy can be interpreted as a retrospective look at the highs and lows of one's life. The lyrics talk about having experienced a lot in life, having gone through many trials and tribulations, from good to bad. The song talks about having lived through many ages, having risen to success and experienced failure, and having seen and done it all. The melody suggests a sense of regret or longing, as the singer has gone through too much in life and wishes to receive mercy.


The lyrics further explore the theme of mortality, and time passing, comparing the singer's life to the last of nine lives of a cat. The singer has saved their soul for the reaper, meaning they are ready to face death. This could be a metaphor for being ready to face the consequences of their actions, and what awaits after death.


The chorus of the song suggests that mercy is all one can expect in life. One should always do what they won't regret, and their self-respect is key to their freedom. It could be interpreted as a call to live life with integrity, rather than seeking for material success or indulgence.
