Suicide Commando Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The evil lurks on your back
It's like a rope around your neck
Lets hang him higher and higher
Fell no remorse
This is the only resource
It's like a devilish force
It's taking over me. over me.
The lyrics of Suicide Commando's song "Mordfabrik" convey a sense of urgency and desperation as the singer urges to start an attack against some unknown evil lurking behind him. The evil is described as a rope around his neck that needs to be hung higher and higher. There is no room for remorse as the singer declares this to be the only resource against the devilish force that is slowly taking over him.
The tone of the lyrics is dark and menacing, reflecting the industrial music genre and the band's signature style. The song seems to evoke a feeling of rebellion against the oppressive forces of society and the frustrations that come with it. The lyrics are open to interpretation, leaving the listener to create their own image of the evil that the singer is fighting against.
Line by Line Meaning
Start the attack
Begin the aggressive actions
The evil lurks on your back
The malevolent entity is close behind you
It's like a rope around your neck
It feels like a noose tightening around your throat
Lets hang him higher and higher
Let's elevate the punishment to an extreme level
Fell no remorse
Do not experience any regret or guilt
This is the only resource
This is the solitary solution
It's like a devilish force
It's reminiscent of a sinister, supernatural power
It's taking over me. over me.
It's gradually engulfing me, completely overtaking me.
