Black City
Mustasch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm accused of being cold
With no emotions at all
Well I'm having a ball
I've got my motor running

I'm jumping with joy
Search and destroy
Come on come on come on
I've got my motor running

Nowhere you can hide
You won't leave this place alive
Cause the sun ain't gonna rise
The sun will never shine
In Black City

I've got smog in my brain
And gasoline in the veins
Get out of my way
I've got my motor running

Accused of being cold
Well I'm having a ball
Search and destroy
I've got my motor running

I use you as I please
The price you pay for walking my streets
Cause the sun ain't gonna rise




The sun will never shine
In Black City

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mustasch's song Black City speak about a dangerous and uninhabitable city where the sun never shines, and those who enter it won't leave alive. However, the singer of the song seems to be enjoying it, despite being accused of being emotionless or cold. He sings about having a "motor running" and how he uses others as he pleases, promoting the idea of search and destroy. These lyrics express a sense of power, violence, and a disregard for human life.


The interpretation of these lyrics can be open to different perspectives. One way to understand them is as a metaphor for a society where ruthless capitalism and individualism reign. In this society, people are expected to be competitive and aggressive, and those who don't fit in are perceived as weak or inadequate. The song's protagonist, therefore, embraces these values and celebrates his dominance and control over others. Another interpretation could be seen as a commentary on the darker side of masculinity, where toughness and aggression are valued over empathy or vulnerability. The lyrics suggest that the character's sense of self-worth is derived from his ability to dominate others and display a lack of emotions.


Line by Line Meaning

I'm accused of being cold
People say I'm unfeeling


With no emotions at all
They think I am devoid of feelings


Well I'm having a ball
But I don't mind, I'm enjoying myself


I've got my motor running
I'm ready for action


I'm jumping with joy
I'm full of excitement


Search and destroy
I'm on a mission to wreck havoc


Come on come on come on
I'm urging you to join me


Nowhere you can hide
No escape from me


You won't leave this place alive
I won't let you go until I'm done


Cause the sun ain't gonna rise
This place is bleak and hopeless


The sun will never shine
There's no hope of a better future


In Black City
This is what I call my domain


I've got smog in my brain
My mind is polluted with bad intentions


And gasoline in the veins
My desire for destruction fuels me


Get out of my way
You're in danger if you don't leave


I use you as I please
I will exploit you


The price you pay for walking my streets
You will suffer if you cross me

This song has some Danzig flavor to it, but this is not to say that's all they do. Awesome band.
