Dirty
KMFDM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just one call will cure it all
Take my toll and break my fall
Come and join my little war
You could be my broken whore

I do not need express excess
I do not need your sordid sex
I do not need to hear your cries
Squirming on the pin of ice
'Coz you hurt me
When I'm dirty
Come on hurt me
'Coz I'm dirty

Heaven can't take me
Hell don't care
KMFDM
Gonna take me there

Is your lie
Is your high
Gonna drink you dry?
You'll crawl and die

Do you want
Do you pain
Do you need in your vain?
To release the relapse
To reload and collapse

A little joke
We're getting flirty




A it of rope
And now we're dirty

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of KMFDM's song Dirty seem to be a critique of society's obsession with excess and its relentless pursuit of pleasure without any regard for emotional consequences. The first verse opens with an invitation to "take my toll and break my fall", suggesting that the singer is willing to sacrifice everything for a fleeting moment of pleasure. The second line "Come and join my little war" can be interpreted as an invitation to indulge in hedonism with him, something he sees as a battle between the mind and the body. The following line, "You could be my broken whore" is a sexual allusion and the singer's way of objectifying his partner, who he sees as nothing more than a tool for his pleasure.


The first three lines of the second verse indicate that the singer is trying to distance himself from his partner's emotional attachment, feeling that their relationship is purely physical. He does not want to hear her cries or see her squirm, which implies that her pleasure doesn't matter. The chorus, which is repeated throughout the song, says, "Coz you hurt me/When I'm dirty/Come on, hurt me/Coz I'm dirty". This may imply that the singer feels most alive when he is engaging in depraved activities and being hurt or hurting someone else in the process. The bridge, including the lines "Heaven can't take me/Hell don't care/KMFDM/Gonna take me there" could be interpreted as a representation of the singer's reckless state of mind and the internalized chaos this creates.

Making "heart" rhyme with "war" is low key the most impressive part of this song

Rowdy Zack

I don't think he says "heart"
