Slow Murder
Oceano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got nothing
But this collection of knives
And decisions to make
I'll take my time mapping out every incision made

I have nothing
So I'll take my time
Breaking bones
Savoring your screams for mercy
Bathing in warm tubs of crimson
Welcome to the start of our intimate torture session

Why am I the only one who sees through the lifetime of lies?
Now each cut will signify the way
You forced me to suffer every day.

As I hold your life in my hands. x3
Understand
Now understand
I'm capable of murder. x3

I've got nothing but time
And this collection of knives
To ensure you endure endless amounts of torture
Slow murder
To rectify the past
I lust for your blood on my hands

Now kneel before me
Embrace the blade as it penetrates deep

Skin splitting insegments
My mouth watering as it rips
The gurgling heard as you're choking on blood is almost satisfaction enough

I'm further aroused at the sight of your naked mangled corpse
Spread wide open as if your innards to be fucked

As I hold your life in my hands. x3
Understand
Now understand
I'm capable of murder. x3

I've got nothing
So I'll take my time
Ah, nothing

I'll take my time with each incision
So you can feel the pain.
x2





I'll take my time with each incision, x2
Feel my pain.

DraculaXHunter101

The 2nd time I saw these guys at the All-Stars Tour in 2015, I remember this song came on. I rushed for the mic, started screaming at the top of my lungs and I gave Adam the scariest smile ever. Then he gave the most intimidating stare you could ever see.
Still one of the most incredible moments that has happened to me at a live show.

ScaryGhosties

Holy fucking shit.

Im in love...

Austin Bruner

I like Adam's vocals, I always wondered how he'd sound in a pure death metal band

brakleera60

I don't think it would do that good, as he doesn't really do low false chord growls just like all death band, think it might be too high (lol) though he would still kick some ass if he'd sign in a doomcore band like black tongue

Kyle The Cool Cat

Saw them in concert last night, & I got to talk to them and stuff after the show. They're just as great in concert!!

xBlackCraft

I still remember when this came out! Fucking love this track

The Efex

I absolutely love the lyrics and the breakdown... The scream is just amazing.

Titanomachy

I got goosebumps on that last breakdown, well done fellas. It's almost impossible for Oceano to disappoint me.
