Pulse Cannon
Mr. Lif Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Insight (Mr Lif) {T-Ruckus}

Its finished!
Its finally tuned up
Technical tweezes have
Tightened the loose nuts
(Now we can remove cuts as soon as they move up)
{Ruck's in the back with the ax for the cuts
Removing their bones to build thrones in the dungeon
Hungry from war Dead bodies get bludgeoned}
Gun em!
(Examine the Pulse Cannon
The result of diligent planning
Serving the area site)
Now scanning four hundred soldiers
Approaching the landing
{Their family's abandoned,
They're on a fool's quest
Organs liquify from a blast in the chest
This hardly a test for my
Power cosmic bomb shit
Trauma an absence of logic
It's what they displayed
Motherfuckers fillet
And the blood of ten men
On the end of my blade}
They try to invade
(We slight from their raid)
{An aura of death}
(From the suckers we sprayed)

(Chorus)(All Three)
Ready, Set
Aim, Fire!
Burn, Turn
Salute, March
Charge, Launch
Tally, Pull
Devestating Energy
(Behold)
(2X)

Feel the fluctuating blast of
Concentrated energy
A deadly dose of shock churn through the enemy

(Potentially)
Paralyzing
(Damages)
Resonance
(The effects are evident)
{I terrorize infinitely
Exert myself minimally
Certain death is the penalty}
Revive 'em
(Clear)
We got a pulse here
{Ready on the left}
(I'll prick through his right ear)
Now give him his nightmare
(Terror)
{Got him!}
To be sure that I stop him
I chop the ??corpus collosum??
(The enemy claims)
{Their power was awesome}
Toss 'em in the moat
{(Their body float)}
(They're panicking 'cause their is no hope)
{Po's beam reflecting off my (Chainmail coat)}
The sergeant is done
Slam the commander
{Body count taken we're burn downin' banner}
(They didn't understand the incredible force)
{(Knights Of The Round Table)}
(They battled and lost)

(Chorus)

{*Statik Selectah skratches*}
"Bodies may have been hurtled by the blast"
"When the building collapsed"




"Damage" "Casualties"
"Fire disaster" (sound of a building collapsing)

Overall Meaning

The song "Pulse Cannon" by Mr. Lif depicts a sci-fi-inspired, war-torn world, where the singer boasts about his superior weaponry and battle tactics. The lyrics are filled with descriptions of violence, death, and destruction as they paint a grim picture of war. The first verse talks about the finishing touches being put on a weapon known as the Pulse Cannon. The singer praises the technical mastery and planning required to create such a weapon. In the chorus, they command the soldiers to prepare for battle, to take aim, and to launch a devastating energy attack that will burn the enemy. They talk about the power of their energy attacks and how they can paralyze, damage, and kill. Later, the song describes the enemy's attempt to invade, which is met with resistance and defeat. The singer describes the enemy's power as "awesome," but also notes the futility of their efforts, as they are no match for the advanced weaponry and tactics of the singer's side.


The lyrics of "Pulse Cannon" can be interpreted as a critique of war, violence, and the military-industrial complex. The song suggests that the folly of war and the human cost outweigh any potential benefits. The violent imagery and language portray an unshakeable belief in the superiority of advanced technology and a disregard for the human cost of war. The constant focus on the destructive power of weaponry and attacks creates an unsettling image of war as a purely technical operation with little regard for human life.
