They a… Read Full Bio ↴St. Madness are a thrash metal band from Scottsdale, Arizona.
They are well known for their theatrical live shows with "guest appearances" by the likes of: Satan, Saint Madness, Carl the Clown, and Evil Elvis.
In October 2005, the group's lead vocalist, Prophet was diagnosed with cancer. This is the official press release that was issued:
"I have been diagnosed with the same cancer as Lance Armstrong and Tom Green. Though this is a very difficult time for me, my family and St. Madness, together we are all standing tall. I must have one of my testicles removed and I have cancer in my lymph nodes in my back. This Sunday, October 23rd, a writer from The Phoenix (Arizona) New Times magazine is coming to my house to interview me. After the interview, I am going to shave my head for their cameras, and then I am going to give my hair to Locks of Love' for children who need hair for wigs.
This is a disease that anyone can get at anytime. I don't feel that God is punishing me or anything like that. We all have sufferings to deal with in this life and it's just my turn. I plan to beat this and to be stronger than ever!!!
Peace,
Prophet/St. Madness"

Told me that I'd improve but they lying
And I think that it's never gonna change
Because everyday legends are dying
All these designer brands that I'm buying
All this happiness that I'm supplying
Can you really tell me that all of that works
When I got an old friend that is flying
Told me that I'd improve but they lying
And I think that it's never gonna change
Because everyday legends are dying
All these designer brands that I'm buying
All this happiness that I'm supplying
Can you really tell me that all of that works
When I got an old friend that is flying, he's flying
Ay, baby, I've been trying so hard
I give you love but I know you don't care
And I can't think you're all in my hair
It never hurt, baby, please beware with me
We gon split his head like we Moses
All about my music, baby, I feel like I'm Mozart
I've been making money, then I spend it all on Wockhardt
And I just crashed a jag, so I had to get a new car
Baby tell me what you mean
I don't think you really know what you mean to me
And baby you can throw it back, ima catch it
Gotta get your love, yeah, I feel like Ash Ketchum
Baby, you know what I'm bout
I've been really trying
You say you love me, you're lying
Baby, I've been slowly dying
And all these percocets I'm buying
I'm trying
Told me that I'd improve but they lying
And I think that it's never gonna change
Because everyday legends are dying
All these designer brands that I'm buying
All this happiness that I'm supplying
Can you really tell me that all of that works
When I got an old friend that is flying
I've been telling everyone that I'm trying
Told me that I'd improve but they lying
And I think that it's never gonna change
Because everyday legends are dying
All these designer brands that I'm buying
All this happiness that I'm supplying
Can you really tell me that all of that works
When I got an old friend that is flying, he's flying
The money multiplying, the loose ends that I'm tying
She never really loved me, I could see it in her eyes
And tell me why you so surprising
You got me fucking crying
Just wanna lay right down with you and look at the horizon
Yeah, we gotta act
Find the demons and we gon attack
If you see em, them free em, cause you don't wanna think about that
When your friends, they are dressed in all black
I've been trying to do everything that I can do
But its uncontrollable, yeah that's a fact
I've been wondering things that I could've said
But I know that I should never think about that
They telling me move on, move on
That it's been too long, too long
I try to reach out to the one I look up to
But he's too gone, too gone
And I'm really okay, because when I am down
I make a new song, new song
And I work so hard
Because there's things I wanna prove, improve on
And this music I make, it really does more
Then you motherfucking think
It takes me up to the highest places
In a motherfucking blink
It's why I don't have to drown all of my sorrows in a drink
There's something bout it when I make my lyrics and the beat sync
I'm trying
The lyrics of St. Madness's song "Kill" dive into the personal struggles and internal conflicts of the artist. The opening lines convey a sense of frustration and disappointment with the lack of progress despite putting in effort. The mention of "legends dying" suggests a disillusionment with the music industry and the fleeting nature of fame and success.
The references to buying designer brands and supplying happiness highlight the materialistic pursuits and attempts to find fulfillment through external means. However, the mention of an old friend who is "flying" suggests that there is someone close to the artist who has achieved a level of success or freedom that remains elusive to themselves.
The second verse introduces themes of romantic turmoil and heartbreak. The lyrics express the artist's efforts in trying to make their partner understand their love and commitment, but feeling unreciprocated. The mention of percocets suggests the numbing of pain and emotions through substance abuse. The repeated line "I'm trying" emphasizes that despite these struggles, the artist is still putting in effort and trying to improve their situation.
Overall, "Kill" delves into themes of personal and artistic frustration, disillusionment with fame and materialism, romantic struggles, and the use of music as an outlet for emotional expression.
