Sister Shotgun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am not your saviour
I'll hold the gun to your head
Your soul to take for heaven's sake
It's just the price you've gotta pay
Now you can scream and you can beg but no ones gonna save you
In the end we're all flesh and broken bone
Salvation now you scream
Helpless looking for hope
Can you see my killer smile?
Your heart beats fast but it won't last cause I am sick and twisted
I love the horror in your eyes before I pull the trigger
In the silence is where I come alive
In this bloodlust
In the silence I will come undone in this bloodlust
The lyrics "Redemption is what you crave, I am not your savior" suggest that the person singing the song is not someone that can provide any sort of salvation or redemption for the individual they are addressing. They then go on to threaten them, saying "I'll hold the gun to your head, your soul to take for heaven's sake," implying that they are willing to take matters into their own hands and essentially play God. The line "it's just the price you've gotta pay" suggests that the individual being addressed has done something to deserve this punishment, and that it's just a consequence of their actions. However, the lyrics also acknowledge that the individual being addressed will likely try to fight back or plead for help, but ultimately, "no one's gonna save you."
The second verse continues this theme of violence and a lack of remorse, with the individual being addressed screaming for salvation and hope but finding none. The singer takes pleasure in this, saying "can you see my killer smile?" They describe themselves as "sick and twisted" and enjoying "the horror in your eyes before I pull the trigger." The last line of the chorus, "I am your miss fortune," suggests that this person is not lucky, but rather the opposite - they are the embodiment of misfortune, and anyone who crosses their path should be wary.
