Big Black – Tiny, King Of The Jews Lyrics 8 months ago
The liner notes explain the song with this paragraph:
“sometimes, even killing yourself wouldn’t be enough. like when you realize that your entire life has been lived under a presumption of free will, but all you’ve been able to make of it is a sad parody of everything you used to hate. slowly, without trying, everyone becomes what he despises most.”

It's basically the song of a failure full of impotent rage who has nothing left to lose and is ready to go out in a blaze of glory. It's about absolute hatred for everything and everyone after a lifetime of misery and resentment. It's about losing all hope and embracing a violent end.
