A Hole In The Wall
KMFDM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I have to die I want to strangle myself in your black hair
When I have to die I want to suffocate between your sweet breasts
When I have to die I want to be blinded by your brown eyes
When I have to die I want to cut my veins on your lips
I have not yet ruled enough
My hands in chains
The break, the hole in the wall
When I have to die I want to starve in your lap
When I have to die I want to burn in your bed
When I have to die I want to drown in your heat
When I have to die I want to be poisoned by your blood
When I have to die I want to melt away from your kiss
And then when I'm dead, bury me close to your heart

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to KMFDM's song "Hole in the Wall" are a dark and twisted expression of intense desire and longing. They speak to a desire to be enmeshed in the physicality of someone else, to the point of airlessness and death. The singer yearns to be overwhelmed by their partner's hair, breasts, eyes, and lips, their hands literally in chains, held captive by their own desires. The repetition of the phrase "When I have to die" suggests a sense of inevitability and acceptance of this fate, even as it is brought on by a passion that seems to consume everything in its wake.

ONE OF THE MOST BADASS TRACK I EVER HEARD !!!

Just plain brutal. Still one of my favorites all these years later.

Christopher Huttemann

4:55 on is just pure awesome. I've been listening to this track since 2008 and it never gets old

James Denner

Gunter Shultz's riffs will, not overshadow, but rival ANY member of this band! Angst, Nihil and Xtort are the best for a reason!!!

Its hard to believe KMFDM never got too popular. They're still making music but you just can't beat the classics.

YEs

They never wanted to be popular really. They could've shot into popularity after Nihil but then they made Xtort deliberately so the masses would ignore them.

Claudia Sofia

My favourite part for decades is played from 4:55 min. Fucking class!!!

lex

Drum machine, synths, and fucking heavy guitars. What's not to like?!?!?

Dogpill Supremacy
