Kult Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, life's disgusting
Means nothing fantastic
John Wayne so great
Mel Gibson he's against the law, a law, a law, a law...

Well, life's disgusting
Means nothing fantastic
John Wayne - so great
Mel Gibson - oh, he's against the law, a law, a law, a law, law...

Well, life is a game of business, I don't know why
Life means nothing at all, so I can die
Life is a game of business, I don't know why
Life means nothing at all, so I can die

As well, as well, as well, as well, as well
As well, as well, as well, as well, as well
As well, as well, as well, as well, as well
As well, as well, as well, as well, as well

Well, life is a game of business, I don't know why
Life means nothing at all, so I can die
Life is a game of business, I don't know why
Life means nothing at all, so I can die

As well, as well, as well, as well, as well
As well, as well, as well, as well,
As well, as well, as well, as well, as well
As well, as well, as well, as well, as well

Life means nothing at all, so I can die




As well, as well, as well, as well, as well
As well, as well, as well, as well, as well

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kult's song "Medellin" speak to the nihilistic perspective on life. The repetition of "life's disgusting, means nothing fantastic" emphasizes a sense of hopelessness and disillusionment with life. The reference to John Wayne and Mel Gibson serves as a commentary on the idolization of celebrities in our culture. John Wayne is praised for his machismo and cowboy persona, while Mel Gibson is criticized for his controversial behavior and legal troubles. The lyrics suggest that even those who are deemed heroic and admirable can have a darker side.


The chorus, "life is a game of business, I don't know why, life means nothing at all, so I can die," speaks to the idea that life is a meaningless pursuit. The use of the term "game" suggests that life is a competition, where success is arbitrary and ultimately unfulfilling. The desire to die might reflect a desire for release from this sense of futility.


"Medellin" is a city in Colombia that was once known for its drug trade, violence, and crime. The choice of using the city's name as the title of the song could be seen as a nod to this history, or as a broader critique of societal corruption.
