Hammer
Wolfgun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Become the killer of convictions and crush my impurities
Oh, hammer, lay down your heavy head
Carry my confessions, 'cause you know that I won't rest until the ground is made my bed
Left with an empty soul; too late to hope you'll hurt me
Made from a broken spirit, I've lost the life I never had
She crept inside my mind, where all my secrets wander
You, you better suffer it somehow
Holdin' on is never not your style, never not your style
Watch as the people knock you down
Take another kick straight to your smile
Hammer, swing down on me
Become the killer of convictions and crush my impurities
Oh, hammer, lay down your heavy head
Carry my confessions, 'cause you know that I won't rest until the ground is made my bed
I tried to tame her ways; make this a life worth living
Just like a wolf in sheepskin, she had a lion's attitude
Her ranks enjoyed the ride; their fangs became my best friends
Surrounded by an army who only want to waste your flesh
You, you better suffer it somehow
Holdin' on is never not your style, never not your style
Watch as the people knock you down
Take another kick straight to your smile
Hammer, swing down on me
Become the killer of convictions and crush my impurities
Oh, hammer, lay down your heavy head
Carry my confessions, 'cause you know that I won't rest until the ground is made my bed
The lyrics of Hammer by Wolfgun express the pain of being consumed by negative thoughts and emotions, represented by the metaphor of a hammer crushing the singer's impurities and carrying their confessions. The first verse speaks of feeling empty and broken, with no hope of escaping the influence of a manipulative person who has crept into their mind. The chorus repeats the image of the hammer as a powerful force of destruction and release, with the singer willing to be "grounded" by it in order to find relief.
The second verse continues the theme of being trapped in a toxic situation, with the singer trying to change their partner's behavior but ultimately failing, and being surrounded by people who want to harm them. The bridge encourages perseverance and resilience in the face of adversity, acknowledging that being knocked down is inevitable but urging the listener to hold on regardless. Overall, the lyrics of Hammer are a poignant depiction of struggling to overcome negative influences and finding catharsis in surrendering to them.

Hammer, swing down on me
I am asking for the hammer of justice to come down upon me
Become the killer of convictions and crush my impurities
I want the hammer to destroy my beliefs and flaws
Oh, hammer, lay down your heavy head
I want the hammer to impart its weight upon me
Carry my confessions, 'cause you know that I won't rest until the ground is made my bed
I want the hammer to carry my confessions and thoughts, because I won't rest until I'm dead
Left with an empty soul; too late to hope you'll hurt me
My soul is empty, and it's too late for anyone to hurt me further
Made from a broken spirit, I've lost the life I never had
I've lost the life I could have had because my spirit is broken
She crept inside my mind, where all my secrets wander
Someone has infiltrated my mind and knows my secrets
Tricked by a wicked woman; no way to get away from this
I was fooled by a cunning woman, and there's no way I can get out of this situation
You, you better suffer it somehow
You need to suffer through the situation somehow
Holdin' on is never not your style, never not your style
You always hold on, even when things get tough
Watch as the people knock you down
People will try to knock you down
Take another kick straight to your smile
You'll face even more hardships and pain
I tried to tame her ways; make this a life worth living
I tried to change someone to make life better
Just like a wolf in sheepskin, she had a lion's attitude
She had a fierce attitude hidden behind a gentle appearance
Her ranks enjoyed the ride; their fangs became my best friends
People around her enjoyed the ride, and they became my close associates
Surrounded by an army who only want to waste your flesh
I'm surrounded by people who only want to harm me

I consistently come back to this album at least once every 4 months or so since it's release. This song especially has been a favorite of mine and will continue to be.

One of my absolute favorites from this artist. The lyrics are just great, and has a steampunkish feel to it.
