Enhanced genetics

Spider-Man
Muscle augmentation
And look at that, web bio-generation
This, this looks like my work
Your life's work, your precious research
Getting sold, getting bought
It isn't possible, is it
It's not, or is it
Maybe it was Kassidy
You relied on loyalty
All your staff, where did they go
And what did they take
And what did they know
Our funding dried up
They weren't getting paid
How's it feel to be betrayed
They're leaving like rats from a sinking ship
You're losing control, you're letting it slip
Time to get it
You've been stabbed in the back
Are you gonna roll over, play dead
Or attack
Wake up son
Someone's cheating you
You do have competition and they're beating you
So fight back, what
Are you just gonna wait
It's an arms race, boy
You can't hesitate
We want new men
A new breed of Marines
Not human, we want fighting machines
A new species, one that's harder to kill
And what if I won't
We'll get someone who will
Don't just think of you
Think of God and country
Join the proud and few who know best for their country
Get some patriotic pride or get on to the other side
How do we win, by living in fear
How do we win, get the enemy clear
How do we win, by saying it's done in retaliation
How do we win, by clearing them out
How do we win, by murdering doubt
How do we win, 'cause we're in the right
Get in line or say goodnight
Don't just think of you
Think of God and country
Join the proud and few who know best for their country
Get some patriotic pride or get on to the other side
So deliver
I ain't working for you
We want bigger
That ain't something I do
Pull the trigger
Start being a man
Take care of business or get off the can
Start faking and you'll be in control
Start taking, you wanna suck out my soul
Get funded or your baby won't live
I'm gonna say no
You mean affirmative
Yes sir hut hut

Spider-Man
The lyrics to Patrick Page's song "Pull The Trigger" explore themes of betrayal, competition, and patriotism. The song is sung from the perspective of someone who is pressuring another person to take drastic measures to save their business. The first several verses allude to the genetic enhancement and technological advancements of Spider-Man, perhaps hinting at the idea of creating a new breed of human through scientific experimentation. The singer notes that their life's work is being sold and bought, implying that they are losing control of their business and potentially their intellectual property.
The song then takes a darker turn as the singer accuses someone named Kassidy of betraying them and suspects that their staff may have done the same. The singer claims that the funding for their project has dried up and accuses the others of abandoning them like "rats from a sinking ship." They urge the person they are singing to (presumably the CEO or owner of the company) to fight back against the competition and implore them to think of their country and their patriotic duty.
The chorus repeats the phrase "pull the trigger" as a metaphor for taking action and making bold decisions. The overall message seems to be that the singer's business is in danger and that they need to do whatever it takes to stay afloat, even if that means resorting to unethical or extreme measures.
