Killing Time
hed) p.e Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby, I'm on fire
Baby, about to creep up beside ya
Getting high all day, drinking whiskey all night
Flipping of the police when them tricks pass by
I'm that fool next door, always late with his rent
I'm that loser on the couch, watching Springer, getting head
Dreaming about a better time, better place, better life
Just killing time
Kiss that world goodbye
Its all over now
Nothing is over now
God knows I try
But no one understands me
The black sheep of the family
My enemies - they try to over take me
Burning and looting till Babylon break me
Look me in the eyes baby, ride with me
I can take it there baby, ride with me
I know what you want, where you live, what you need
I can make it real, hold it down, feel you bleed
Just killing time
I keep my eyes on the stars
That's where I come from
Belt of Orion
Son of the Sun God
You know my name, I'm a Conqueror
The Lion
King, Ka Maya Maya come
Twenty Twelve, come twelve tribes, come twelve strengths, come twelve lives
Twelve steps, twelve months, twelve motherfuckers
All make bail, kicked cause of crowded jails
Sex and violence sells
Twelve serial killers, twelve dead without a trail or a trace
It's prime time, the fight night, pay per view, suicide, the bee sting

The song "Killing Time" by hed) p.e is a powerful representation of the struggles of a survivor who is going through an existential crisis. The lyrics suggest that the singer is dealing with issues such as addiction, poverty, and a lack of purpose in life. The opening lines, "Baby, I am a survivor, Baby, I'm on fire" indicate that the singer is fully aware of their struggles but is determined to go through life regardless. The phrase "on fire" could denote the passion the singer has for living, although it could also mean that they are burning up from the inside out with a toxic lifestyle.
The lyrics that follow detail the addictive and self-destructive habits of the singer. They drink whiskey all night, get high all day, and are known for flipping off the police. The repetition of "just killing time" throughout the song suggests that the singer feels aimless and is indulging in these habits to pass the time or to numb themselves from emotional pain. The phrase "kiss that world goodbye" could mean that the singer has given up on mainstream society and is ready to embrace the fringes of society, possibly even criminal activity.
The latter half of the song deals with the singer's sense of identity and defiance towards their detractors. They describe themselves as the black sheep of the family and allude to enemies who are trying to overtake them. The phrase "Burning and looting till Babylon break me" suggests a rebellious streak that would never back down, even in the face of danger. The singer seems to offer a way out of the existential crisis to someone close to them, saying, "I know what you want, where you live, what you need. I can make it real, hold it down, feel you bleed." This could show that even someone struggling with their own identity and purpose can help others going through similar struggles.
