All My Life
Project Deadman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gonna take it to another level never gonna run with the devil
Don't matter whether rap or metal
My brain grippin like a razorblade pops like a 12 guage
Pumped in the quicker mother f**ker jump
Back to back the preminition of a murder scene
Don't nobody hold on the screen for the unseen
What the f**k is goin on in my brain
Havin visions of a homicide a killa watch the blood spillin
Prozak hell ride wicked villain
Savin the best for last f**k the past
And everlast is life when the guns blast
Boom mother f**kin guns blastin when the hell raise
Better watch your back from the shit that you been sayin late
Underground screamin in pain who's to blame insane
Expensive blood rain sniffin lines of cocaine
Rails apon rail nails apon nails
Light your ass with the flames of god tales
I was so stale your face is so pale
Now life you will kill your soul I impale
All my f**kin life I been insane
And every f**kin day I feel the blood rain
And everything is saved oh it brings pain
All the wicked brains salvation some taint
(Prozak)
What you wanna do battle me? Better pick a strategy
Be up in this bitch you can't handle me
Walkin amongst the dead keep the demons fed
My body parts full of blood red full of led damn
Cardiac arrest the pains up in your chest
Nuthins left but your ladt breath now you may rest in peace
But the beats increase disease the white sheets
The meek inherit the earth for what it's worth middle east
Havin visions of a homicide a killa watch the blood spillin
Prozak hell ride wicked villain
Savin the best for last f**k the past
And everlast is life when the guns blast
The seventh sign you watch your mind happiness you'll never find
I'm lookin mother f**ker for the seventh sign
To the end yuou pretend it's not the end but it is
Havin your fears a deadman lives
(Prozak)
Apocolyptic when I kick the wicked shit
Then I turnt he tables on your fables when I bring it to you
Serve you never knew you tell me what you're gonna do
When my spirit walks right through you
Victim of a homicide involuntary suicide
Mass f**kin genocide human rights don't apply
To this I'll never die for this murder for this
My soul eclipse from death's last kiss
All my f**kin life I been insane
And every f**kin day I feel the blood rain
And everything is saved oh it brings pain
All the wicked brains salvation some taint
A man of god preach does he sell the preach of such a powerful an order. The
spirit of God flows lilke a river through that order. That man that considers
himself an atheist stood up from that audience that night he did not leave.
All my f**kin life I been insane
And every f**kin day I feel the blood rain
And everything is saved oh it brings pain
All the wicked brains salvation some taint
The song All My Life by Project Deadman is a rap-metal track that captures the emotions of an individual who claims to have been insane all his life. Prozak, the rapper, starts the verse by discussing how he wants to take it to the next level and never wants to run with the devil. In his mind, he has a creative process that is always working, leaving him with visions of a murder scene, homicide, and blood spilling. The singer also talks about how he has lived his entire life believing he is insane and how he struggles to keep his head in line. He finds peace in the pain that he experiences every day and doesn't expect anything from life.
The verse following the second hook delves deeper into the dark thoughts that Prozak has, and how he is battling demons that keep him fed. He raps about the cardiac arrest one feels when the pain sets in and ends with a claim that happiness is something he will never find. All through the song, the singer is depicted as one who is angry with God, and this is shown when he says how he is looking for the seventh sign. The song's video is a mix of violent imagery, gothic themes, and biblical imagery, reinforcing the song's essential struggle between good and evil.
