Insects
Mr.kitty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Inactive veins
Animate
From cells of red

Fragile hands
Contaminate
The resting bed
Insects will crawl upon my skin
Insects will eat me from within
Insects will crawl upon my skin
Insects will eat me from within

Disect you skin
Integrate
Program the head

An eyeless face
with teeth they ate
Your body's dead

Insects will crawl upon my skin
Insects will eat me from within




Insects will crawl upon my skin
Insects will eat me from within

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mr.Kitty's song "Insects" depict the physical decay and destruction of one's body after death. The opening lines, "Inactive veins animate from cells of red," suggest that the body, once motionless, begins to move again as insects feast upon it. The hands, once fragile, now "contaminate the resting bed," implying that even in death, the body is unclean and decaying.


The chorus reinforces the concept of insects consuming the body: "Insects will crawl upon my skin / Insects will eat me from within." The repeated use of the word "insects" creates a vivid image of the swarm of creatures that will inevitably invade the body. The second verse describes the process in more detail, as the insects "disect your skin, integrate, [and] program the head." The final lines paint a gruesome picture of the body's final state: "An eyeless face with teeth they ate / Your body's dead."


Overall, the song presents a bleak and haunting picture of the inevitability of death and decay. The lyrics are concise and effective, using vivid imagery to create a strong emotional impact.

Well I'm not used to talking about my life but now I feel I cannot stop
I saw a man and I thought he had my face I heard a preacher and I thought he had my voice
Up on a train since the moment I opened my eyes sometimes I'm sure I've seen this place again but deep in my Heart there's some courage and some hope and certainty that these rails will never end
Feels that I'm growing but this world is getting small
I cannot take it anymore

Well here I stand in the center of the scene with all the lights pointing right in my head
But in the dark there's a man that can't be seen holding a gun with all the power of his hand


The show is over and the applause pricks my ear the hall is empty and the man is getting bigger
He closes his eyes but serenity is gone he laughs at me and at once he pulls the trigger
Feels that I'm growing but this world is getting small
I cannot take it anymore

Now as I lay dead upon the floor I know my name will never be forgotten
I see that train getting lost inside the smoke and my body being fresh instead of rotten
Feels that I'm growing but this world is getting small
I cannot take it anymore
