Overall Meaning

The song "Kill for Me" by Obituary is a graphic and gruesome reflection on the violence and chaos that exists in the world today. The lyrics describe the bloody reality of killing, and the idea that some people are willing to commit acts of violence for others. The song explores themes of power, control, and the desire for revenge, as well as the senselessness of violence and the impact it has on both the victim and the perpetrator.


The chorus of the song, which repeats the line "kill for me" multiple times, is particularly chilling. It suggests that there are people in the world who are willing to manipulate and use others for their own purposes, even if it means causing harm or taking innocent lives. The lyrics also touch on the idea that life is unfair and that people feel the need to take matters into their own hands to level the playing field.


Throughout the song, the imagery is brutal and unrelenting, describing the pain and suffering that comes with killing and the aftermath that is left in its wake. Ultimately, the song is a warning against the dangers of violence and the dark impulses that can lead people to commit heinous acts.

Lyrics:
You are coming for
You're coming to.
You're killing for me.

Realize, the point is.
The pain comes
The body's fresh.
You're killing for me.

Kill for me.
Kill for me

Because life isn't fair.
Because the chance abound there.
Inside, souls are searching for.
Outside, the pain can't be ignored.

All around lives are the cost.
The fight is yours, terrorized cities lost.
Your world, with permanent thoughts of hate.
With their rights, die.

You are coming for.
You're coming to.
You're killing for me.

Realize the point is.
The pain comes.
The body's fresh.
You're killing for me.

Cannibal Corpse may be the most famous band, but I think Obituary has a better death metal sound. And they're so underrated.
