After that show they were able to sign a small record deal with Dismemberment Records. The release of MCD Menstrual Stomphulk (February 2002) was surprisingly successful as it was sold out in just three months. Overwhelmed with tons of fanmail their popularity increased tremendously in just one year.
One year later (March 2003) they released their first full-length on Bizarre Leprous (CZ.). This album, Hellcocks Pornflakes, caused their official break through. Other labels asked to release the next one and even Mortician invited Rompeprop to participate on their USA 2004 tour! Vocalist Steven Smegma couldn't combine his job any longer with the band and after having more and more health problems, he unfortunately had to quit the band. But not after doing the studio recordings of their third CD, a split with Tu Carne, Just a Matter of Splatter.
The other three had to hit the rehearsal room again to take over Stevens vocals, cause they needed to get ready for hitting the stage as much as possible in 2004 and beyond! This worked out okay, and after their first gig as a threesome on the Just Killers No Fillers Fest in Germany, the doors went open for their international adventure.
Deadman
Rompeprop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For fuck sake, just do it!
Of course you wanna die!
I am here to help you out
So come on, lets give it a try
Hideous girl, walking on the street
She thinks that no one likes her
And that's fucking true
So I'm your superhero that will help you to get through
Just!
Pass me the rope, the razor, and pills
Choose your weapon so I can forfill!
Kamikaze or a train, an overdose without pain!
I don't care as long as I am the one that can help you try!
Just see me as your superhero!
Whaaaaaaaaa!
Teeth kicked out again at school
Face first, down in the piss/shit pool
A wedgie, and your books are gone
This is where it ends, let me help you son
The lyrics of Rompeprop's song "Deadman" are quite disturbing and reveal a dialogue between a speaker who wants to die and another who claims to be a superhero who can help them commit suicide. The singer seems to be in deep despair, feeling isolated and unloved. They express a desire to end their life and the other person seems to be encouraging them to do so. Interestingly, the supposed superhero is presented in a mocking way, almost as a parody of mainstream fictional characters.
The first part of the song seems to be directed towards a "hideous girl" with low self-esteem. The singer describes her physical appearance and affirms that no one likes her, as if they were trying to justify her decision to die. However, the second part addresses someone who has been bullied at school, with a similar purpose. The superhero offers different methods of suicide, such as hanging, overdose, and being hit by a train, and assures the person that they will help them try. The chorus repeats the phrase "just see me as your superhero" as a way of convincing the listener.
Overall, the song can be interpreted as a critique of society's failure to address mental health issues and provide support to people in need. It exposes the dangers of romanticizing suicide and the harm caused by trivializing mental illnesses. The use of extreme language and grotesque imagery also serves to shock the listener and draw attention to the seriousness of the topic.
