Bronx Sniper
Mister Heavenly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Right now, the whole town is frightened
In the Bronx, when the guns go off we like it
We like it
No one gets out of here alive
In the melee there are many ways to cry
Who knows where the gunshots are coming from
And I shot you down
You never had a chance in hell
And I shot you down
And I felt no remorse cause
This heart's a stranger, and you love it 'cause it's dangerous like
This heart's a stranger, and you love it 'cause it's dangerous like yours
They tried to cut him down from there
65, 68, 93, 96 but he don't care
La la la la he's nowhere
La la la la he's nowhere
Oh!
And I shot you down
You never had a chance in hell
And I shot you down
And I felt no remorse 'cause
This heart's a stranger, and you love it 'cause it's dangerous like
This heart's a stranger and you love it 'cause it's dangerous like yours
(Dangerous, dangerous, just like yours)
The lyrics to Mister Heavenly's song "Bronx Sniper" convey a sense of fear and uncertainty in the face of violence. The first verse describes how the whole town is frightened by a sniper in the Bronx. Despite the danger, there is an unsettling fascination with the gunshots that are heard in the neighborhood. The chorus describes a heart that is dangerous and causes harm to others without remorse. The second verse describes how the authorities have been unable to stop the sniper, who remains elusive and uncatchable.

9 years later this is still one of my favourite songs and all time favourite music videos. Thereās nothing that even comes close in terms of raw energy.

@Ozomender
For those who wonder, according to Pitchfork: "The whole clip was shot in a soon-to-be-demolished (maybe) house in Vancouver under a shoestring budget that basically amounted to the price of a bottle of tequila."

I thought punk was long dead, then I caught this gem in 2011 or 2012 and the wildman insanity was burning into my brain. This is one of the greatest music videos of all time. I want to run with this pack.
@mouija1450
It is impossible for me to not like this piece of insane art more. I want to keep the party going forever.
