Kim Petras Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's gonna be a massacre, gonna be a massacre, gonna be a massacre
It's gonna be a massacre, gonna be a massacre, gonna be a massacre
Blood on the floor, glamour and gauze
Stain on the glass, make this the last night that you're here
Bites on your neck, can't dodge a hex
Don't be afraid, just take my hand
Come follow me, I promise that I'll take you there
Just you and me, can't even breath
Can't hear your scream (la, la la la, la, la la la)
It's gonna be a massacre, gonna be a massacre, gonna be a massacre
It's gonna be a massacre, gonna be a massacre, gonna be a massacre
One taste of blood is not enough to satisfy
Take your last breath and get a rush, gotta die to feel alive
Sweet evil come deliver us the sacrifice
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, gotta die to feel alive
Dawn of the dead, blood ruby red
Don't lose your head, love when you beg, love when you cry
Queen of the Damned, that which I am
Reborn again, I never end, I never die
Don't let me in, I see the sin
Under your skin, you can't escape, you can't deny
Seek and I find, nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide (la la la la, la la la la)
It's gonna be a massacre, gonna be a massacre, gonna be a massacre
It's gonna be a massacre, gonna be a massacre, gonna be a massacre
One taste of blood is not enough to satisfy
Take your last breath and get a rush, gotta die to feel alive
Sweet evil come deliver us the sacrifice
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, gotta die to feel alive
"Massacre" by Kim Petras is a song about the singer's vampiric desires and the inevitable massacre that is about to happen. The chorus repeats the phrase "it's gonna be a massacre" to signify the violent and deadly nature of the song's theme. The verse describes the aftermath of a previous massacre, with blood on the floor and stains on the glass. The singer invites her victim to come with her by taking her hand promising to take them to another place. However, it is clear that the singer's intentions are deadly as she can't hear the screams of her victims.
The second verse talks about the rush of vampiric pleasure that comes with taking someone's life, with the lyrics "one taste of blood is not enough to satisfy, take your last breath and get a rush, gotta die to feel alive." The lyrics mention ashes to ashes and dust to dust, which alludes to the vampire's immortality as they can live forever, be reborn again, and never die.
Overall, "Massacre" is a dark and eerie song that explores the dark desires of a vampire who seeks the thrill and pleasure of taking someone's life. The lyrics embrace the horror genre and present a unique perspective on the topic of vampirism.
