Dead Man Walking
Marpo Lyrics

Come on clades!
Encouragement to friends to come along

Go get my shotgun and swap truck!
Preparing for a wild and adventurous hunt

Son of a bitch!
Expression of frustration or annoyance

Walmart people, hunting gators, fucking mud truckin baby all kinds of shit yehaaaaaw!
Excitement about engaging in various activities such as shopping, hunting, and off-road driving

When the sun sets, all my demons come out
Acknowledgement of one's inner demons and how they surface in the absence of light

And a lot of problems, I can feel that hot ground beneath me!
Feeling like being on fire with a lot of troubles

Flannel and torn jeans!
A casual and rugged style of clothing

I'm stomping in the wet clay!
Walking around in muddy terrain

In the darkness, I see gray shadows!
Seeing partial, indistinct images in the absence of light

You have to go into the wasteland!
Challenging oneself to venture into uncharted territory

No talk, just action!
Emphasizing the importance of taking action instead of just talking about it

Get out of that spiderweb!
Breaking free from entanglements and obstacles

Remove the nails from the wall!
Undoing what holds you back

Stop taking hard painkillers!
Avoiding self-medication with addictive and potentially harmful drugs

With my Gibson guitar on my back, I cross the desert in one breath!
Venturing into the unknown with a musical instrument, using creative expression as a coping mechanism

I'm trying to find that Eldorado, I found myself cutting through wires!
Searching for a treasure that is also a metaphor for personal growth, overcoming obstacles and resistance

Empty Patron bottles and tons of tequila and whiskey breaking the law!
Indulging in alcohol and risking legal consequences

A loaded Falcon on the back seat, the tires grind on the rear-wheel drive!
Driving recklessly with a powerful car, living dangerously

This is the world you don't want to know!
Describing a world that is harsh and unforgiving, a reality that others might want to avoid

Open the thirteen chambers!
Exploring the unknown, dealing with the danger and the challenge

Surpass the limits, kick yourself where you need to go!
Pushing oneself beyond what is comfortable, striving for greatness

With a bottle of Hennessy in hand, just a few sips into myself!
Drinking alcohol to numb the senses or to enhance the experience

What I saw as a child doesn't scare me anymore!
Having overcome childhood fears and traumas, feeling empowered

Black smoke mixed with gasoline in the clouds...
Describing visually and atmospherically what comes to mind when drinking and driving recklessly

The only thing that awaits me is victory!
Feeling confident and unstoppable, a sense of invincibility

On top of the mountain, all those arguments whether it's victories or defeats...
Reflecting on past struggles and challenges, a sense of accomplishment

We pour Jack with Coke, and Henny with water! All those long years!
Celebrating with friends, drinking and reminiscing about shared experiences and memories

Our footsteps weigh heavily on the ground, on our bodies sweat and blood...The skull hunter doesn't give up until he has enough!
Putting in hard work and not giving up even when it is difficult, perseverance and determination

My shirt soaked in blood! No one even blinks!
Desensitized to violence and extreme situations, feeling removed from the horrors of life

Bar fight, chairs and glasses, it's like the first time!
Experiencing something familiar and exciting as if it is for the first time, adrenaline rush

If I'm really not desperate! Tell me what would you actually like?! Do I have to hit you every day?! I'm not a teenager anymore!
Setting boundaries and pushing back against unreasonable demands or expectations, maturing out of youthful recklessness

And the obligations I have to fulfill! Hungry mouths that I have to feed! If you cross my limits, I'll put you down in a minute!
Feeling responsible for others and their wellbeing, protecting what is important

I feel like a storm is coming soon! Feeling changes that are nearby, and the future within reach, when the sky is so low!
Feeling on the brink of a life-changing event or realization, sensing something ominous or urgent

With a bottle of Hennessy in hand, just a few sips into myself! What I saw as a child doesn't scare me anymore! Black smoke mixed with gasoline in the clouds...The only thing that awaits me is victory!
Repeating the chorus, emphasizing the idea that victory is the only option and that one's past experiences do not restrict them anymore.

So what you think... disappointed?
Ending the song with a taunt, challenging the audience to match his intensity and passion.
