Square Hammer
Melodicka Bros Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Neath devils torn asunder
You call on me to solve a crooked rhyme
As I'm closing in
Imposing on your slumber
You call on me as bells begin to chime
Are you on the square?
Are you ready to swear right here, right now
Before the devil
That you're on the square
That you're on the level
That you're ready to stand right here, right now
Right here, right now
Hiding from the light
Sacrificing nothing
Still you call on me for entrance to the shrine
Hammering the nails
Into a sacred coffin
You call on me for powers clandestine
Are you on the square?
Are you on the level?
Are you ready to swear right here, right now
Before the devil
That you're on the square
That you're on the level
That you're ready to stand right here, right now
Right here, right now
Hail Satan
Are you on the square?
Are you on the level?
Are you ready to swear right here, right now
Before the devil
That you're on the square
That you're on the level
That you're ready to stand right here, right now
Right here, right now
Right here, right now
Right here, right now
Right here, right now
Right here, right now
The opening lyrics to Melodicka Bros's "Square Hammer" suggest a dark and mysterious atmosphere. The singer appears to be summoned to solve a "crooked rhyme" as bells chime and they enter a slumbering state. The chorus then poses a series of questions, challenging the listener to declare their allegiance to the devil or swear an oath of loyalty to a higher power. The lyrics suggest a struggle between the light and dark, with the singer seemingly caught in the middle.
The second verse contains more dark imagery, with the singer being "called on" to participate in a "shrine" and hammer "nails into a sacred coffin". The chorus then repeats, with the focus on the need to proclaim one's loyalty to either side of the conflict.
The song's lyrics seem to suggest a struggle between good and evil, with the singer caught in the middle and perhaps unsure of which side to choose. The repeated questioning in the chorus suggests a need for decision-making and commitment amidst the chaos and darkness of the surrounding environment.
