NO MERCY
Khaleel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(No mercy, no mercy)

The riptide greets the water's edge, he says it's good to meet again
The sun is out, it protects us, it lets the fish in my belly swim
Five thousand years ago, we danced with the comets from outer space
It was our nature them, indigenous, and now I feel out of place

(No mercy, no mercy)
For the goods that grace us all, we destroy what's in our path
(No mercy, no mercy)
Understanding of the purpose of the nature of the world

And then man came, we welcomed him with plants and food to eat
Tranquil rivers and tall pines for shade now all but obsolete
Brother dear would beautify the woods amongst us all
And now he runs and hides from the hunter
To keep his head from the hunter's wall

(No mercy, no mercy)
For the goods that grace us all, we destroy what's in our path
Aaaahh (No mercy), aaaahh (No mercy)
Understanding of the purpose of the nature of the world

The gravitational pull
Can never be wrong
But to live all as one
Has taken too long
Mother Earth
And deservedly so
Has given birth to us all
And there's nothing to glow

But greed and corruption, violence, pollution
Hate, a disease, a new constitution
We need to gather 'round a global huddle
Give praise to the ones that we lost in the struggle
And spread the love, yo, spread the love
Spread the love, spread the love, spread the love

(No mercy, no mercy)
For the goods that grace us all, we destroy what's at our path
Aaaahh (No mercy), oooooh (No mercy)
Understanding of the purpose of the nature of the world

And now the skies are covered up
From a blue to a shade of gray
A man in red many moons ago
Had a vision it would come someday
Five thousand years ago, the earth we now deny
Was the greatest canvas ever painted
Under the eastern sky

(No mercy, no mercy)
For the goods that grace us all, we destroy what's at our path
Aaaahh (No mercy), true (No mercy)
Understanding of the purpose of the nature of the world
(No mercy ,no mercy)
For the creatures and the fish, and the people of the sun
Aaaahh (No mercy), aaaahh (No mercy)
For the concrete and the chemicals, kills the nature in us all





Kills the nature in us all
Kills the nature in us all

Overall Meaning

The song "No Mercy" by Khaleel is a poignant commentary on humanity's destructive relationship with nature. The lyrics describe how humans have destroyed the natural environment and how this has caused a rift between humans and the rest of the ecosystem. The first verse talks about how humans have lost touch with their natural roots, having become disconnected from the comets and natural forces that they once revered.


The second verse paints a picture of how humans have destroyed and exploited the natural world, leading to the collapse of ecosystems and the extinction of various species. The reference to the brother who used to beautify the woods is particularly poignant, highlighting how even familial bonds have been disrupted by human greed and exploitation. The chorus "No mercy, no mercy" emphasizes the callous attitude humans have had towards the environment.


The final verse talks about how humanity has brought about environmental degradation and climate change, ignoring the warnings of visionaries like the man in red. The song ends with the repeated refrain "kills the nature in us all", highlighting how humanity's actions have not only damaged the environment but have also damaged our own connection to the natural world.
