Vigilante Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"I still talk to God sometimes.
I ask him if what I'm doing is right or wrong.
I'm still waiting for an answer."


How can I kill these deafening voices?
How can I kill these deafening sounds?
That brutal scenario
Will never leave my mind

I live in constant torture
Breathing but dead inside
This war will last forever
Until the guilty can be found!

Why?! You did this to me...
Why?! I can't do anything...
Why?! You did this to me...
Why?! I can't do anything...
...anything...

Walking between the borders
Grabbing my twisted mind
How to find a way to kill this
And put it underground

Waiting around the corner
I'm one step behind
I'll be awake forever
Until the guilty can be found!
(Will be found!)

"You killed the only two people...I... Why?!"
"Business."


(Will be found!!)

"You killed the only two people...I... Why?!"

Why?! You did this to me...
Why?! I can't do anything...
Why?! You did this to me...
Why?! I can't do anything...

Why?!
I'm just asking why?!
I'm just asking why?!!
I'm just asking why?!!!
Why?!!
WHY?!!!!!





Why...?!
Why...?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Vigilante's song "Answers" explore a deep sense of loss, pain and confusion as the singer tries to find answers to questions that nobody seems to have. The song starts with the singer asking God if what he is doing is right or wrong, and waiting for an answer that never seems to come. He is tormented by deafening noises and voices, and is haunted by a brutal scenario that will never leave his mind. The singer feels a constant sense of torture and is dead inside, living in a war that will last forever until the guilty can be found.


In the chorus, the singer questions why this was done to him and why he can't do anything about it. He is walking between borders, trying to find a way to kill his twisted mind and put it underground, waiting for the guilty to be found. The bridge of the song reveals the reason for the singer's pain - someone has killed the only two people in his life, and when he questions them why, they simply respond "business". The song ends with the singer still asking why and not finding any answers.
