Cover art for Getting Away With Murder lyrics by Papa Roach

"Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness" Some person is obsessively in love with another person, but gets rejected.

"I need to calculate What creates my own madness" The lover want's to protect his loved one, but he can't do anything to achieve this.

"And I'm addicted to your punishment And you're the master And I am waiting for disaster" He feels powerless and sorry for the fact that he cannot protect her, and realizes that murdering that person and then himself is the only way to alter that fate.

"I feel irrational" "Irrational" are his suicidal thoughts.

"So confrontational" "confontational" because he is gonna be killing someone

"To tell the truth I am Getting away with murder" To kill oneself right after a murder can be viewed as a means of getting away with murder

"It isn't possible To never tell the truth But the reality is I'm getting away with murder" He feels ashamed for his obsession and would rather stop this, but it isn't possible for him because his obsession is too strong, so all that he can think about now is his planned murder-suicide.

"I drink my drink and I don't even want to I think my thoughts when I don't even need to I never look back 'cause I don't even want to And I don't need to Because I'm getting away with murder" It is now, decided for him that he is going to commit murder-suicide. He waited and thought long and hard about wether he should do it or not. He is now awaiting the right moment to fulfill his plan and all that he is doing in this moment is merely an neccessity, because his time is going to end soon.
