Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And he said, you can have whatever you want
It's your wish, hey, hey, what you say?
Just take out your gun and wave it all around
Don't need to feel like no whore
Just move out on the killin' floor
Just make sure you keep up your end of the deal
Oh, hell no, oh, hey, hey, now it's on
Just take out your gun and wave it all around
Don't need to feel like no whore
Just move out on the killin' floor
Just take out your gun and wave it all around
Don't need to feel like no whore
Just move out on the killin' floor
It feels good, it's your wish, oh babe
It feels good, it's your wish oh, babe
The lyrics of Verbena's song "Killing Floor" are dark and ominous, telling the story of a woman who is seeking pleasure and power through violence. In the first verse, she asks a man what he needs in order to "feel good," and he responds that she can have whatever she wants. She then tells him to "take out your gun and wave it all around," and to join her on the "killin' floor," where they can feel powerful and in control.
The chorus repeats the instruction to "take out your gun" and to "move out on the killin' floor," as the woman continues to chase her desire for power and control. The lyrics suggest that she has heard this story before, perhaps indicating that she has a history of violent behavior or is simply familiar with others who seek the same kind of pleasure in violence. Ultimately, the song suggests that violence can be a way to feel powerful and in control, even if it means sacrificing one's morality and humanity in the process.
Overall, the lyrics of "Killing Floor" paint a disturbing picture of a person who is willing to do whatever it takes to feel powerful and in control, even if it means resorting to violence and brutality. The song is a haunting reminder of the darker side of human nature, and the ways in which our desires and impulses can lead us down a dangerous path.
