In Your Face
Killing Machine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Giving you a chance as we're holding out our hands, an offering you can't defy
Following no rules, deadly fire that it fuels, electrified
Living for the night, the flames that we ignite, just waiting now to strike the fuse
It's ready to explode, can you feel the power grow, there's no way to lose

Trust me I have what you need
Just believe me
It's in your face, your fears erased
We're in your face
Showing you the way, to get through another day, living with no sacrifice
Can you feel the fire, it's feeding your desire, paying no price
Feel the thunder in your heart, your body starts, it starts to shake




Your hunger now it feeds everything you need, with no rules to break
Trust me, I have what you want

My best memory with this song happened when i was 22, almost 12 years ago, I was late for my first university class, so i was driving wild 😂 with loud music to keep the blood pumping. I had an amazing Mustang GT 2001 with Borla Exahusts that thing had an amazing sound. So there i was wearing sun glasses singing out loud on a Mustang driving like a possesed man listening to this beauty. Near my University there was a roundabout with green areas and benches, (in my country México some roundabouts are designed as parks) i saw a group of people sitting on the grass near the benches, about 20 people they all looked at me with dissaproval 🤨🤨 cause of my driving and loud music. When i arrived at my school i went into the classroom and found no one. So i asked reception if class was cancelled.

No, it's a sunny day, they're at the roundabout taking class. This was a creative writing class. And i immediatly think.... FUCK

Maybe i can sneak in without being noticed...

As soon as i arrived my teacher saw me, and said loudly OMG LOOK IS THE GUY DRIVING LIKE AN IDIOT, EVERYONE LOOK AT HIM, LET'S GIVE HIM AN APPLAUSE!! everyone start clapping at me and i felt so embarrased 😂 yet started laughing.

So i had to endure a lot of bullying that day. Obviously i was called names Tacoretto was my favorite haha.

My teacher told me she liked Rage Against The Machine too tho 😂

Spoiler alert: they didn't do what was told to them
