Amok
Here I hide the severed head I keep alive
I've got bruises, lies*, here's my pride......
Looking down the barrel of a 45
Stick me bleed me don't say you need me
Hit me suck me come on... fuck me
Fuck me
Fuck me
Fuck me
Fuck me
You don't have to look at the mantelpiece
When you're poking the fire
I'm young, dumb, full of fun
I feed my fire, my fist, and come
The light of my life is a switchblade knife
This gun becomes my lawful wife
I wanna kill, I wanna cut, hurt, shuttup
I wanna feel myself denied
I wanna feel this noose grow tight
I will defile and taste the bile
I will crawl that crooked mile
To caress your stubborn head
With an once of flamming lead
Here I hide the severed head I keep alive
I've got bruises, lies*, here's my pride......
Looking down the barrel of a 45
Hit me suck me come on... fuck me
Fuck me
Fuck me
Fuck me
Fuck me
When you're poking the fire
I feed my fire, my fist, and come
The light of my life is a switchblade knife
This gun becomes my lawful wife
I wanna feel myself denied
I wanna feel this noose grow tight
I will defile and taste the bile
I will crawl that crooked mile
To caress your stubborn head
With an once of flamming lead

I think this song is about Sadomasochism taken to a whole new level.
A "new level". ;)
A "new level". ;)
I love the "sadomasochism" bit. It is possible, but not likely. Sadomasochists do what they do for the attention. Not necessarily "positive" attention, but attention. This song is not about getting attention.
"The light of my life is a switchblade knife"-Travis Bickle got nothin' on them.
"You don't have to look at the mantelpiece When you're poking the fire". Good to know,lol.

...an awsome song yet really creepy...
this song is cool.
laughs This is one of the songs my boyfriend sings to me sometimes! It's an awesome song, I don't find it creepy when KMFDM sing it, I just find it creepy when my boyfriend sings it! LOL! Hmm... I wonder what this song really means though? I'm not one for analysing song lyrics, I'll have to see what my boyfriend (who is ALWAYS analysing KMFDM lyrics) thinks this is about ^_^
It's sort of mocking the desperate youth, those who lust and strive for power, money, and yes, sex. True KMFDM style, mockery!
I'd agree about it being about today's youth, as in they just want to fuck and not look at the consequences.
The repetition of "fuck me" gets slightly annoying after awhile, therefore it's not really high on my list of favorite KMFDM songs. Although, yes, it appears this song is about ignorant teens and their wanting of nothing but mindless sex.
Okay, when I first heard the song, I just thought it was about sex... but after reading the lyrics, I think it's more about violence. Both sexual violence (rape) and simply murder.
