Laceration
Mr.kitty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On darker nights
I call the moon
To light the esscence
Of empty rooms

A blade of silver
Across your chest
There is no struggle
Lay you to rest

Hold me closer
Tie me down
Cut me open
Don't turn around

Count your curses
In blood I'll drown
With lacerations
I won't be found

The reddest water
To be consumed
From precious skulls
Your lust will loom

I find it hard
To let you go
I find it harder
To let them know

Hold me closer
Tie me down
Cut me open
Don't turn around

Count your curses
In blood I'll drown




With lacerations
I won't be found

Overall Meaning

The song "Laceration" by Mr.Kitty is a haunting yet beautifully composed song that mainly focuses on the theme of pain, love, and death. The lyrics open by describing how the singer turns to the moon on darker nights, seeking light to fill the emptiness of their surroundings. However, the sorrowful tone quickly turns darker and more destructive as the lyrics speak of a blade of silver cutting across someone's chest, with no struggle and a promise towards death. The lyrics further continue with the idea of self-inflicted pain, as the singer pleads to be held closer, tied down, and cut open, not to turn around while they suffer.


The chorus strikes a significant tone in the song, with the singer confessing to drowning in curses and lacerations, rendering them lost to anyone who seeks them out. Moving ahead, the song takes a more brutal turn, with the singer describing consuming the reddest water from precious skulls, giving lust an ominous presence. The bridge reveals how the singer is struggling to let go of someone, and it makes it harder to let others know about it.


Overall, "Laceration" is a song that speaks of an individual in deep emotional pain dealing with self-inflicted wounds, making it harder for them to open up to others. The lyrics carry an eerie and unsettling feeling, which is what makes the song stand out.

on Serenity

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
