In Cold Blood
Mumakil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And spit on your achieved way of life,
Cut your own throat, and pay the bill,
Cut your own throat, and pay the bill.
The lyrics of Mumakil's song "In Cold Blood" convey a sentiment of disgust towards a certain individual or group. The opening line of "I shit on your face" is an obscene and aggressive way of asserting dominance and disrespect towards the targeted individual. The following line "And spit on your achieved way of life" suggests the act of belittling someone's accomplishments or lifestyle. This could be interpreted as a feeling of envy or resentment towards someone who has achieved something that the singer has not.
The next two lines "Cut your own throat and pay the bill" are a metaphorical way of saying that the target of the song should suffer the consequences of their own actions. The phrase "cut your own throat" implies a self-inflicted wound or mistake that the target is responsible for, and "pay the bill" suggests that they should suffer the consequences. The song comes across as a fierce and uncompromising expression of anger and frustration towards a perceived enemy.
