Murder
The Breach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kill the witness
No trace of evidence
Commit the deadly sin
Oh Lord, this is grace
Hang them high
Dig real deep
A thousand candles in the dawn
Chains from beyond
What lays ahead is destined
Kill the witness
Commit the deadly sin
The lyrics of the Breach's song "Murder" is essentially about the act of murder and the various aspects that come with it. The lines "Hide the proof, kill the witness, no trace of evidence, commit the deadly sin" depict someone committing a murder and attempting to cover it up. The mention of grace could be seen as the killer feeling justified in their actions or perhaps even asking for divine forgiveness. The lines "hang them high, dig real deep, sweep up the soil" could perhaps refer to disposing of the victim's body and attempting to hide any evidence of the murder.
The second part of the lyrics become more obscure, with the lines "a thousand candles in the dawn, chains from beyond" perhaps referring to the weight of guilt or a haunting by the victim's spirit. The line "what lays ahead is destined" could be seen as a suggestion that violence only leads to further violence, or simply that the consequences of the murder are inevitable. The song then repeats the previous lines, "kill the witness, commit the deadly sin," emphasizing the cycle of violence and destruction that is perpetuated by such actions.
Overall, the lyrics of "Murder" are quite dark and unnerving, painting a picture of callous violence and its painful aftermath.
