Sick of It All
The Distillers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pulled the fucking trigger cause Im sick of it all
Murder murder a ripe fucking hate
Pulled the fucking trigger cause Im sick of it all
I went to school today with an oozi
Theres this kid he teased me so i shot him in the face
All the worlds light wont ease my pain
I'm a nihilist raised on violence
What do i do im american youth
All my life I've lived in silence
Im gonna snap I'll get you back shit
I'm a girl im only 13 my body rots
Cause I wont fucking eat
I'm a silent star on the b-roll
I'm a mirror fucking image of no control
Give me the award I conquered food again
What else is better in life than to purge my pain
If I cut, I wont look like that
If I cut if I cut I wont feel like this shit
We are kids we think life is a scam
We come from wasted land
We are kids we play punk rock and roll
If we didnt we got no soul
We are different fucking kids with the same heartbeat
We got one pulse running through the streets
They are our arteries
We are different fucking kids with the same heartbeat
We got one pulse running through the streets
I am a part of this
We are kids we think life is a scam
We come from wasted land
We are kids we play punk rock and roll
If we didn't we got no soul
The lyrics of The Distillers' song "Sick of It All" portray a strong sense of nihilism and a desire to escape pain through violence, whether it be through pulling the trigger of a gun or self-harm. The first verse of the song paints a picture of a person who has reached their breaking point and is willing to commit murder in order to escape from what they deem an unbearable existence. The lines "I'm a nihilist raised on violence / What do I do, I'm American youth" speak to the sense of hopelessness that many young people in America may feel, particularly those who grow up in violent environments.
The second verse shifts the focus to a young girl who is struggling with an eating disorder and self-harm. The line "What else is better in life than to purge my pain" highlights the idea that for some, harming oneself can provide temporary relief from emotional pain. The chorus of the song, "We are kids we think life is a scam / We come from wasted land / We are kids we play punk rock and roll / If we didn't we got no soul" reinforces the sense of disillusionment and disenfranchisement that many young people feel, particularly those who come from working-class or disadvantaged backgrounds.
Overall, the song's lyrics express a desire to escape from pain, whether it be through violence or self-harm, and a sense of disillusionment with life that many young people may relate to.
