Killstation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can't take my mind
You can't take my life away from me
You can't change my heart
You can't change my mind
You can't change my life and I'm diseased
In cold dark lit hole
God hates my soul
Now nothing's left
Lay me to rest
Open my chest so I can breathe
You can't take my heart
You can't take my mind
You can't take my life away from me
You can't change my heart
You can't change my mind
You can't change my life and I'm diseased
In cold dark lit hole
God hates my soul
Time takes it's toll and I can see
Now nothing's left
Lay me to rest
Open my chest so I can breathe
The lyrics in Killstation's song "asphyxia" seem to be about the artist's defiance against external forces trying to control or change him. The repeated lines "You can't take my heart, You can't take my mind, You can't take my life away from me" show a level of strength and determination that suggests the artist is not willing to let anyone else dictate his choices or take away his agency.
The following lines "You can't change my heart, You can't change my mind, You can't change my life and I'm diseased" seem to suggest a deeper struggle, a disease that the artist is grappling with in his life. In the "cold dark lit hole," where "God hates my soul," the artist feels trapped and alone, with time taking its toll on him. The line "lay me to rest, open my chest so I can breathe" could be interpreted as a cry for release from the torment and pain the artist is feeling.
Overall, the song "asphyxia" seems to be a powerful statement of resistance against external control and a poignant exploration of the artist's inner turmoil.
