Murder
Lil Grim & A. Warren Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A riverbed of coyote bones
The air's so mean you can taste it
It's like waiting on a murder of crows
Now where did you come from
And where did you go with me
Got nowhere to run to
I'm drinking all the water you bathe in
The frog's cut deep in my throat
The clock tick-tock's and I face it
You pour the poison deep in my soul
Now where did you come from
And where did you go with me
Got nowhere to run to
No one to hear my screams
I really really hope that you're changing
I got a feeling you won't
So damn sick of your ways kid
Passive-aggressive and cold
It's like waiting on a murder of crows
The first verse of Lil Grim and A. Warren's song "Murder" sets a grim and ominous tone for the rest of the track. The lyrics paint a stark picture of a desolate and unforgiving landscape, where the singer is trapped and helpless. The line "You're drinking all the water I'm saving" suggests that the singer is in a desperate situation where resources are scarce and being hoarded by others. The use of the phrase "a riverbed of coyote bones" adds to the bleak atmosphere, hinting at death and decay. The air is also described as "mean" and almost palpable, creating a sense of suffocation and hopelessness. The metaphor of "a murder of crows" further adds to the sense of impending doom, as this is a common term used for a group of crows.
The second verse presents a slightly different perspective, with the singer drinking the water that the other person bathes in. This implies a subservient position for the singer, as well as a deep sense of disgust or desperation. The line "You pour the poison deep in my soul" suggests that the other person is actively harming the singer, further reinforcing the idea of a power dynamic at play. The repeated refrain of "Where did you come from and where did you go with me?" suggests a confusion or disorientation on the part of the singer, as if they are not fully aware of how they got into this situation.
The third verse introduces a note of anger and frustration, with the singer expressing their hope that the other person will change while acknowledging that they probably won't. The use of the phrase "passive-aggressive and cold" suggests a toxic and abusive relationship, with the other person manipulating and gaslighting the singer. The final line once again brings the image of a murder of crows back into focus, emphasizing the sense of inevitability and impending danger.
Overall, "Murder" is a song that explores themes of power, control, and abuse within a relationship. The lyrics are bleak and foreboding, painting a vivid picture of a desolate landscape where even the air is poisonous. The repeated refrain of "Where did you come from and where did you go with me?" adds to the sense of disorientation and confusion, suggesting that the singer may not fully understand how they ended up in this situation.
Line by Line Meaning
You're drinking all the water I'm saving
You're consuming all the resources I've carefully preserved
A riverbed of coyote bones
The environment is desolate and barren, devoid of life
The air's so mean you can taste it
The atmosphere is hostile and oppressive, almost tangible
It's like waiting on a murder of crows
The tense and eerie atmosphere is comparable to the gathering of crows, a symbol of death and misfortune
Now where did you come from
I'm wondering about your origins
And where did you go with me
We've traveled together, but I'm unsure of our destination
Got nowhere to run to
I'm trapped in this situation
No one to hear my screams
There's no one around to offer help or support
I'm drinking all the water you bathe in
I'm being forced to consume what you use for your own comfort
The frog's cut deep in my throat
I'm choking on my own words, unable to speak up
The clock tick-tock's and I face it
The relentless passage of time serves as a reminder of my predicament
You pour the poison deep in my soul
You're causing me emotional harm and distress
I really really hope that you're changing
I desperately want to believe that you're improving as a person
I got a feeling you won't
Despite my hopes, I suspect that you will remain the same
So damn sick of your ways kid
I'm fed up with your behavior and attitude
Passive-aggressive and cold
You're uncommunicative and emotionally distant, making it difficult to resolve our issues
It's like waiting on a murder of crows
The feeling of foreboding and tension is still present, like waiting for an impending tragedy
