No Mercy
gun! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come on Jane, I want to hold ya tight, yeah
Give ya love, make you feel alright, yeah
I say the things that you want to hear
I'm gonna whisper in your ear.
Show no mercy
Show no mercy
Show no mercy
But did you think you were the only one
Just a victim of a love and run
Lonely heart and a woman in black
I broke your heart and I ain't coming back
And I'm sorry if I broke your dream
Watch your life come apart at the seam
I know it ain't fair
I broke your heart, yeah yeah
Show no mercy
Show no mercy
Show no mercy
I'll be standing in the shadows of love
Hey yeah, so I'm indiscreet
Shattered dolls and a fait accompli
I wonder why, why I keep up the chase
I'm just a fool for a pretty face
Show no mercy




Show no mercy
Show no mercy

Overall Meaning

In Gun!'s song No Mercy, the lyrics convey a sense of regret and guilt on the part of the singer who has broken the heart of his lover, Jane. The song opens with the singer declaring his desire to hold Jane tight and make her feel loved. He acknowledges that he has said things that she wanted to hear and makes promises of whispered words. However, the chorus demands that he shows no mercy, which presumably refers to his willingness to hurt Jane without remorse. The second verse sees the singer admitting that Jane was not the only one and that he is guilty of "love and run," which has left her with a broken heart.


The latter half of the lyrics suggest that the singer is aware of his bad habits and the consequences of his actions. He describes himself as standing in the shadows of love, being indiscreet, and chasing after pretty faces. He wonders why he keeps repeating the same mistakes and hurting the women in his life. The chorus's repetition emphasizes the lack of remorse or empathy the singer feels, despite acknowledging his guilt. The overall mood of the song is regretful and introspective, as the singer wrestles with his actions and the impact they have on others.

Lyrics:

This is the worst team I have ever played with in my life
When we finally get on the point everyone dies
I understand that every now and then a team won't click
When it comes to you, I don't think I can sympathize

You should've picked Mercy
You should've picked any kind of support
We ended up losing
And it's all your fault
You should learn how this game works
You should've been helping
"If you like Mercy so much, why don't you just marry her?"

So you're the type that gets a mic and tries to lecture me
You're the most useless person we have on our team
I've never seen anybody rage quite as hard as you
Maybe you should go back to playing Team Fortress 2

I'm not gonna be Mercy
I'm not gonna be any kind of support
We ended up losing
And you got all mad
Your tears are what I live for

You should've been Mercy
I'm not gonna be any kind of support
We ended up losing and it's all your fault
Your tears are what I live for

Maybe I'll be Tracer
I'm already Tracer
What about Widowmaker?
I'm already Widowmaker
I'll be Bastion
Nerf Bastion!
You're right. So, Winston
I wanna be Winston
I guess I'll be Genji
I'm already Genji
Then I'll be McCree
I already chose McCree
I have an idea
What's your idea?
You should be...
I'm not gonna be Mercy

You should've picked Mercy
I'm not gonna be any kind of support
We ended up losing and it's all your fault
Your tears are what I live for

I'm not gonna be Mercy
You should've picked any kind of support
We ended up losing and you got all mad
You should've learned how this game work
