## Background

This song was written from the dark parts of YUNGBLUD's mind, it came about after he felt suicidal and confronted the parts of himself that were darker. In the description of the music video on his YouTube channel he stated: *"this song is about a pretty dark place i found in my mind. at first it really scared me. but i learned to talk about it. mental health is finally being taken seriously and this song helped me free myself from the weight of it for a while."*

## Lyrics

[Intro]

Today

[Verse 1]

Today, you made me feel irrelevant

Twisted my intelligence

Made it seem there's no brain in my head

I'm like a skeleton, can't shut my eyes

Right now, I feel like I'm an alien

I'm so fuckin' dangerous

Cover up the evidence with medicine

I can't find the light

[Chorus]

All I wanna do is kill somebody

Kill somebody

Kill somebody like you

You, you, you, you

All I wanna do is kill somebody

Kill somebody

Kill somebody like you

You, you, you, you

[Verse 2]

Today, you turned me like a corkscrew

Filed me like a lawsuit

Put words in my mouth that I don't want you to

And I lost my clout

And my time is actin' as my currency

You can't take that away from me

Treat the young with no accountability

Shoot me down

[Chorus]

All I wanna do is kill somebody

Kill somebody

Kill somebody like you

You, you, you, you

All I wanna do is kill somebody

Kill somebody

Kill somebody like you

You, you, you, you

[Spoken Interlude]

Right, right now I feel like an alien

Like I'm sitting in a state of perpetual frustration

Go on, shove me again

Fuck with my head, leave me for dead, please?

And yeah, you may think, you may think this is a metaphor

Somethin' you've never heard before

A note I found on the floor

And then subconsciously pinned to the door

But then you motherfuckers could cross a mountain

And I still wouldn't believe what you thought

[Chorus]

All I wanna do is kill somebody

Kill somebody

Kill somebody like you

You, you, you, you

All I wanna do is kill somebody

Kill somebody

Kill somebody like you

You, you, you, you

All I wanna do is kill somebody

Kill somebody

Kill somebody like you

You, you, you, you

Oh, oh

## Verified Annotations

On Genius YUNGBLUD annotated this song, verifying the meaning behind the lyrics.

Chorus → *"This is me looking in a mirror talking to darker elements of myself that I hate."*

Spoken Interlude → *"This is about the people who don’t understand. They believe you are being dramatic or assume it’s just an emotional phase you are going though. A metaphor , something not of the real world. You can’t blame them, how could they possibly understand."*
