The band have released four studio albums, "Trickster" (1998), "Zerøspace" (2002), and "Trypt0fanatic" (2010). An EP "The Invisible Plan" (2011). And a remix EP "Phi In The Sky" (2001), released in between "Trickster" & "Zerøspace".
The band re-released "Trickster" as "Trickstereprocess" in 2004, which included 5 new bonus tracks, along with a bonus DVD. After the release of "Trickstereprocess", the group called it quits and went their separate ways. Free Dominguez went on to create an indie project while Bruce Somers created the band Shocknina.
In January of 2007, Free Dominguez sent out a newsletter via email stating that she and Bruce are collaborating once again on brand new Kidneythieves material. These sessions resulted in the brand new album "Tryptofanatic".
Kidneythieves have hired bassist Mirv Douglas and are working on their new EP "The Invisible Plan" to be released in October 2011.
Dead Girl Walking
Kidneythieves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wrapped in a cocoon of your own cliché
Dead Girl walking a fall from grace
Wrapped in a cocoon of your own cliché
Dead Girl walking it’s such a shame
I saw it coming from miles away
It’s all so disposable
It’s all so disposable
And if we get what we deserve then you deserve it, Dead Girl.
Dead Girl walking, the wasted days
Trapped in a cocoon and can’t fly away
Dead Girl walking, the beauty fades
I see it coming–and the future is a lonely place
(I tried and you betrayed)
It’s all so disposable
There’s nothing here for you take and no one here for you to play
It’s all so disposable
And if we get what we deserve then you deserve it, Dead Girl.
Oh, you’re just a broken one
Wasted all that you’ve become
You’re just a broken one, and I’ve given up on you Girl.
You’re so disposable
There’s nothing here for you take and no one here for you to play
It’s all so disposable
And if we get what we deserve then you deserve it, Dead Girl
It’s all so disposable – you’re just a broken one
(and if we get what we deserve….)
It’s all so disposable
(wasted all you could become)
And if we get what we deserve then you deserve it, Dead Girl.
The lyrics of "Dead Girl Walking" by Kidneythieves seem to be addressing someone who has become trapped in their own clichés and has fallen from grace, leading to a sense of disposability. The song speaks of a certain inevitability to the situation, with the singer claiming to have seen it coming from miles away. The phrase "Dead Girl walking" suggests that the person being addressed has lost their vitality, creativity, or sense of individuality and is now just going through the motions of life.
The singer seems to have given up on trying to help the "Dead Girl," perhaps because they feel that she has betrayed their trust or simply because they believe she is beyond help. The line "Oh, you’re just a broken one, wasted all that you’ve become" seems to suggest that the person being addressed has squandered their potential and is now irreparably damaged in some way.
The song's repeated refrain of "It’s all so disposable" further emphasizes the sense of futility and lack of meaning that has taken hold of the Dead Girl's life. The singer seems to be saying that if we get what we deserve in life, then the Dead Girl is only getting what she has brought upon herself.
