Cover art for The Kill lyrics by Dresden Dolls, The

Definitely political...

I am eleven feet Okay, eight Six foot three ^That's talking about arrogance, like what Rachelragamuffin said.

I fought the British and I won I am a rocket ship A jet fighter A paper airplane ^If this is about America (I think it is) then "I" is kind of ironic- actually, a bunch of rebels a long time ago did, so it's implying a sort of arrogance as well. And rocketship, jet fighter, paper airplane...again, eleven, eight, six foot three. Something extraordinary, not that extraordinary, and something completely and utterly normal, almost petty 'cause you're bragging about it.

Say what you will, I am the kill. ^That sounds pretty confident to me...too confident...again, arrogance...

The Dresden Dolls have a penchant for heavy sarcasm and I think this matches up pretty well with that- "Put Pat Sajak back in office" is a play on the enormous entertainment the American culture derives from politics, I think. And it's kind of sarcastic and self-degrading- hard to take seriously.

ZOMG can't wait for the new album, it comes out six days after my birthday C:
