No Mercy
Living Tombstone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is the worst team I have ever played with in my life
When we finally get on the point, everyone dies
I understand that every now and then a team won't click
When it comes to you, I don't think I can sympathize

You should've picked Mercy
You should've picked any kind of support
We ended up losing, and it's all your fault
You should learn how this game works
You should've been helping

If you like Mercy so much, why don't you just marry her?

So you're the type that gets on mic and tries to lecture me
When you're the most useless person we have on our team
I've never seen anybody rage quite as hard as you
Maybe you should go back to playing Team Fortress 2

I'm not gonna be Mercy
I'm not gonna be any kind of support
We ended up losing, and you got all mad
Your tears are what I live for
You should've been Mercy
I'm not gonna be any kind of support
We ended up losing, and it's all your fault
Your tears are what I live for

Maybe I'll be Tracer
I'm already Tracer
What about Widowmaker?
I'm already Widowmaker
I'll be Bastion
Nerf Bastion
You're right, so, Winston
I wanna be Winston
I guess I'll be Genji
I'm already Genji
Then I'll be McCree
I already chose McCree
I have an idea
What's your idea?
You should be
I'm not gonna be Mercy

You should've picked Mercy
I'm not gonna be any kind of support
We ended up losing, and it's all your fault
Your tears are what I live for
I'm not gonna be Mercy
You should've picked any kind of support




We ended up losing, and you got all mad
You should learn how this game works

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "No Mercy" by The Living Tombstone describe a heated argument between two teammates in a multiplayer video game. The singer is frustrated with their teammate's poor performance, blaming them for losing the game because they did not pick a supportive character. The teammate fights back, accusing the singer of being useless and ineffective as well. The argument intensifies until the singer ultimately decides not to play a supportive character and instead suggests playing other heroes, showcasing their versatility and independence.


The song is a commentary on the toxic culture that can permeate online gaming and how it can lead to arguments and blame-shifting. It portrays a scenario where players forget the purpose of playing video games, which is to have fun, and instead become competitive to the point where they are willing to throw insults and blame each other for losses. The singer is suggesting that players should learn how to work together and pick heroes that complement each other's play styles, rather than blindly insisting on a certain character.

A song from a time when overwatch was a very pleasant and cozy game. It is a pity that this is no longer the case.

@Beanjello22

This song embodies a silly little mindset that makes the game feel comfortable to me still, but also I’ve practically grown up with overwatch so the game (and this song) will always have a place in my heart lol

@marsfisch44

literally a song about trash talking?
