Skull Crusher
Wolf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everyday I work my fingers to the bone
I'm a beast of burden so give me some heavy load
Obsessive and compulsive head banging against a wall
I won't give up without a fight before I fall

Punch in the face
Take the blow
Stand up, strike back
Here it comes

Skull crusher - Can you feel the pain
Skull crusher - Here it comes again

Grave diggers will pull the triggers and eat your peace of mind
Just keep walking as they are stalking and leave them all behind
The smell of blood brings back so many memories
No time for flash backs now, so raise your fist and scream

Punch in the face
Take the blow
Stand up, strike back
Here it comes

Skull crusher - Can you feel the pain
Skull crusher - Here it comes again

Skull crusher - Can you feel the pain
Skull crusher - Here it comes again
Skull crusher - Here comes the pain




Skull crusher - Here comes the pain
Skull crusher

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Skull Crusher" by Wolf describe a hard-working individual who will not give up without a fight. The first stanza sets the tone for the song, emphasizing the idea of pushing oneself to the limit. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for the struggles of everyday life.

The chorus, "Skull Crusher - Can you feel the pain?" reinforces the idea of fighting through pain, potentially even enjoying the process.


The second stanza shifts focus to a possible external source of conflict - specifically, grave diggers who threaten the singer's peace of mind. The imagery used in this stanza is particularly striking, likening the grave diggers to stalkers and drawing a connection between them and memories of past physical confrontations. Despite this, the singer is still determined to fight back against their struggles.


Overall, "Skull Crusher" appears to be a song about perseverance in the face of adversity. This theme is reinforced not only through the lyrics, but through the aggressive, high-energy music as well.

Any band that drops references to Heavy Load into their lyrics is alright by me! Killer song.
