Scream
Warhead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

People are coming to take me out of my house
Don't understand the angryness of the crowd
Bursting windows raining down the floor
Don't realize what they are reaching for
GET OUT!
Running, falling, slavering hands on my shirt
Again and again they punch my face into the dirt
I lost my last hope when they started to beat
I'll never get myself out of this heat
WHAT FOR SHALL I DIE?
Now they tighten the rope around my neck
A kick, the chair falls down, my heart attacks
No breath, no life, am I going to die?
What have I done, I don't know why?
They say that you have cought him,
They say he's punished now
They say that none should mess with you,
You infallible crowd
Be proud of what you've done
For your selfrighteous sense of justice
The beast is dead, this is the end,
An act of fair revenge
But didn't you know that not just far away
Another little girl was raped today?
And didn't you hear 'bout the man sitting in jail




That he has confessed this last two murders?
GET OUT!...

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Warhead's song “Scream” depict a terrifying scenario where the singer is being attacked and dragged out of his house by an angry crowd. The crowd is uncontrollable and it seems they want to harm him. The desperation in the singer's voice is clear as he narrates the events, and the sense of helplessness only adds to the lyric's intensity. The imagery is graphic and intense, with the mention of bursting windows and raining down on the floor, which hints that the situation is going out of control.


Further, the lyrics suggest that the singer is in disbelief at the situation and wonders what they could be reaching for. He implores them to stop and get out. However, their rage continues and he is brutally beaten. In the second stanza, the singer reflects on whether he should even bother living if he is going to be treated this way. As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the singer is being punished for a crime he didn't commit, and he is about to be hanged. However, the crowd fails to see that while they have avenged themselves, they have not fixed the problem, as there are still other crimes occurring that they are unaware of.


“Scream” is a powerful song with thought-provoking lyrics that explore themes of violence, fear, and justice, and is a commentary on mob mentality.
