K.Y.N.
Warhead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

my apartment's 'round the block
downtown there's not much you've got
it was my last day at work
don't ask me if it does hurt

I've got to walk
'cause they damaged my car
last week at a slutty bar
oh, the rent I'm not able to pay
and my wife kicked me today

do yourself a good
in your neighbourhood
march along the floor and
KILL YOUR NEIGHBOUR!
KILL YOUR NEIGHBOUR!

people nextdoor drive me insane
what is their intention, what is their gain
they're disturbing me
when they're passing my way
and it hurts
when they've got nothing to say

there's nobody who's really good
out there in my neighbourhood
a man hurts his wife and children cry all day
I think I better blow 'em all away!

do yourself a good...

these were times I remember well
things that I can hardly tell
I do repent and I have to pay




as the priest and me
are on my last way...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Warhead's song "K.Y.N." depict a person who is struggling with various aspects of their life, including their job, finances, and relationships. The singer's apartment is located in a less-than-desirable part of town, and they are forced to walk due to damage to their car. The singer has just been kicked out by their wife and is unable to pay their rent. These challenges have caused the singer to feel agitated and angry towards their neighbors who they feel are also disturbing them. The lyrics become more sinister when the singer comments that there is no one in their neighborhood who is truly "good," and even suggests that they may want to harm their neighbors.


The repeated phrase "Kill Your Neighbour" is an aggressive call to action, urging the listener to take out their frustrations on those around them. The lyrics climax with the singer reflecting on the difficult times they have experienced in their life and acknowledging that they must pay for their actions. The reference to a priest suggests that the singer may be seeking absolution for their thoughts of violence.


Overall, the lyrics to "K.Y.N." paint a dark picture of a person who feels trapped and hopeless, leading them to consider violent actions against those they perceive as their enemies.
