Scavenger
Kill Radio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not by introduction not by handshake.
Not by the things that you own, but the things you dispose
It's not a case of theft but a case of loan
Scavenger have you heard
I'm sifting through your trash still I'm gonna make it last
Still sticky fingers find sticky situations
But in the wake of swept rugs we all need assistance.
So now I'm living off the spoils of leftover generations
equipped with wit and long legs if I need them
to hold my ground but not be found
I'm quicker than the wind but half as
Scavenger have you heard, sifting through your trash
Still I'm gonna make it last well
Scavenger survivor's find a way
Scavenger have you heard
Sifting through your trash ,
Still i"m gonna make it last well
Scavenger survivors find a way
They find a way, they find a way, a way
Are you done give me some, Cause I'm fuckin' hungry
Don't need pride with an empty belly.
Got no shame cause I know we're all whores,
Trying to pull the hustle, just trying to pull the
Scavenger. have you heard
Sifting through your trash still
I'm gonna make it last well
Scavenger survivor's find a way
Scavenger have you heard
Sifting through your trash , still
I 'm gonna make it last well
Scavenger survivors find a way
They find a way, they find a way.
"Scavenger" by Kill Radio is a powerful depiction of survival against the odds. The song speaks to the struggles of those who are marginalized and left to make their way through whatever means necessary, often by scavenging for what others have discarded. The lyrics reflect a society where people are categorized and judged based not on their worth as individuals, but on their material possessions. The song calls for a recognition of the resourcefulness and strength it takes to be a scavenger, and demands respect for those who are able to find ways to survive despite the odds.
The song is a commentary on the human condition and the struggle for survival in a world that has become increasingly unjust and unequal. The lyrics speak to the idea that the things we own do not define us, but that our ability to adapt and make the most of what we have can be a source of inspiration and strength. The idea that one can make a life out of the things that others have thrown away is a powerful one, and speaks to the resilience and resourcefulness of the human spirit.
