Impulse
Missing Link Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sad thoughts turn to sickness
And I am changing shape
Spiraling into this hate
There will be no escape
I can't be who I was
Before this world
Turned me to a...
KILLER
Murderous impulses
Of a manic mind
In the night
Bloodlust
For the voices in my head
Headlong for the death
I crave
Now wear my curse-
now wear my curse across your face

In my rat race for riches
Avoid snakes, cowards, traitors and bitches
You could become a casualty around here
Taste of fear unless the cash hits-
closed casket

Pain is the cross I bear
And I am changing shape
Every time you beg for a taste
How eager I am to supplicate

Suffer, I suffer, I suffer alone
Hatred and pain
No blood from the stone





Pain is the cross I bear
And I am changing shape

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Impulse" by Missing Link delve into the tumultuous emotional and psychological journey of the singer. The song opens with the realization that sad thoughts have transformed into an illness, causing the singer to undergo a transformation, both physically and mentally. They find themselves spiraling into a deep-seated hate that consumes them, leaving no room for escape. The singer laments that they can no longer be the person they once were before the world turned them into a killer, driven by murderous impulses and a manic mind. This internal struggle leads them to a bloodlust, a craving for death, and they wish for others to bear the curse they carry on their face.


The second verse takes a different perspective, discussing the singer's pursuit of material wealth. In their rat race for riches, they caution against encountering snakes, cowards, traitors, and bitches, as any encounter with these individuals could lead to the singer becoming a casualty. They emphasize that the taste of fear is inevitable unless one achieves financial success, which itself may come with the price of a closed casket.


The chorus is repeated, highlighting that pain is the burden the singer carries, and with each repeated encounter of someone begging for a taste, they become increasingly eager to grant them that taste, succumbing to their desires. They suffer alone, trapped in a cycle of hatred and pain, without any respite, and they find no solace even in the expression "no blood from the stone." The pain continues to weigh them down, causing them to change shape.


Overall, the lyrics of "Impulse" explore themes of inner turmoil, the transformation of emotions into destructive forces, and the desperate search for relief and release from the pain that consumes the singer.
