Giant
Sabertooth Zombie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When i walk, i crush sewer systems
Reach up and grap some planes
Telephone lines lace my kicks
Eye level with the mother fucking cranes
Take a walk and kill a country
Turn humans into road kil
Smash corporations with my ill step
Bombs i catch bullets bounce
Tanker truck legs
Once your world is decimated turned to dust
I'll pull down god and make him fucking beg
This world rejects me / cause i'm 300 feet tall / so i hammer down your flag posts / watch civilization fucking fall
The lyrics of Sabertooth Zombie's song "Giant" convey a sense of frustration and anger, seemingly directed towards society and those who hold power. The singer expresses a desire to destroy and disrupt what they see as corrupt and oppressive systems. The imagery of physical destruction is vivid, as the singer describes tearing buildings apart, running through waste water, and stomping mountains down. This sense of being a "giant" who can physically overpower their surroundings is contrasted with the feeling of rejection from the rest of the world, as the singer feels like they don't fit into society's expectations.
The lyrics of "Giant" can be interpreted as a metaphor for the idea of resistance against oppressive structures. The singer's destructive actions could be seen as a call to action for those who feel marginalized or powerless, encouraging them to fight back against systems that seem insurmountable. The reference to pulling down God and making him beg could also be seen as a critique of religious or moral authority figures who perpetuate oppressive systems.
