Dresden Dolls, The - The Kill Lyrics






I am an anarchist
An antichrist
An asterix
I am an anorak
An acolyte
An accidental
I am eleven feet
Ok, eight...
Six foot three...
I fought the British and I won
I have a rocket ship
A jetfighter
A paper airplane
Ja ja ja ja ja

Say what you will... I am The Kill
The only thing that keeps you really truly safe from being real

I have a tendency
To exaggerate
Just a little bit
I am a plagiarist
Apologist
A walruscokeheadlizard
I am an optimist
A closeted misogynist
I fought the British and I won
I have a wishing well a living will a magical eight ball
Ja ja ja ja ja

Say what you will - I am The Kill
The only thing that keeps you really truly safe from being real

Put pat sajak back in office
Put pat sajak back in office!!!

But the sun still sets on you
And the retarded party nobody came to but you
And so you drink to all the emptiness until you wake up
And there's hell to pay again

And the punch lines point at you
And all the comebacks in the world are in your head
And you can't say them until everybody leaves
And it's just you and your imaginary friends...

  2. G.... ....

    I once took a high pressure shit, and all the compressed gas escaping around the round boi turdlet sounded more-or-less exactly like this. Well, at least you know.

    This is one of those songs where its like: hey, that's a great song. Yea, what's it about? Not a fucking clue. Maybe the music video will shed light on the question. Oh dear.

  19. J.... T....

    Melanie Martinez wishes she was them haha

    J.... T....

    Jovianne Tabraham you’re comparing completely different people with completely different styles. Okay then

    a royal calcu-lator

  22. A.... H....

    amazing.

  23. N.... K....

    Nice video! I think it would've been stronger if you kept the black/white filter over the entire video instead of just the end so that the art and colours that were important to the story stood out more. Then again, this is from 2008! No point really sayin much about it

  24. S.... U....

    Waoooo :o perfect !

  25. M.... A....

    I mostly listen to metal but I love this chicks songs.

    C.... ....

    Contrariwise37. 😆😆😆😆

    C.... ....

    Lmao, a good song too anyway👌👌

    C.... ....

    I saw this a long time ago, I had a lot of fun. I forgot it, see it again today, I can't stop to laugh

  46. J.... D....

    Brilliant song and video. I love it.

  47. A.... D....

    I forgot about this song! It must've been a bitch to get the paint off of that lens.

    A.... D....

    They don't actually throw it on the lens. They have a clear sheet of plastic or glass placed right over the lens. It would be too difficult to get the splatter/painted effect on an actual lens considering the size of them, and obviously it protects the lens from the paint.

    A.... D....

    +Liam Walters You're right, we've attached a piece of glass to the lens and covered the camera in plastic. Drops of paint hitted me and stained my trousers forever, though. :)

    A.... D....

    +Felipe Chiaramonte you were great in the video!

    A.... D....

    I love your video. Thankyou Felipe.x

    A.... D....

    Felipe Chiaramonte i just discovered you and im in love••∞¡¡¡‡∅‡‡∆££¥¡¡¡∞•• so glad to have found "the kill" and thoroughly enjoyed you're opening the song with the sex pistols lyrics. Absolutely brilliant¡¡¡

  48. D.... V....

    Tinha q ser brasileiro XD #MelhorVideo

  49. m.... m....

    what a masterpiece of a song.....SO SAY WHAT U WILL I AM THE KILL

  50. P.... K....

    Still one of my favorites. Will cover it some day with a friend. I won't be able to sing it, but I can play the piano part :-)

    P.... K....

    I'll sing it for you ;n;

    P.... K....

    Could you please upload a tutorial?? I've been wanting to learn this song but I couldn't find any tutorials

  51. F.... O....

    São Paulo! <3

  52. J.... R....

    What the hell album is this off of?

  53. M.... F....

    How and really did you get into my world and life? thank you for stopping the killing :)

  54. K.... K....

    They are cute the guy is hot tho

  55. Z.... ....

    Cabaret + some weird kind of punk?

    Z.... ....

    Yep:) They call themselves "Brechtian punk cabaret".

  56. M.... T....

    Wow this is a deep song and Video and it really moves me to feeling the sway of emotions and tears in the pit of my stomach. Wow it was incredible and I do agree that that reposting down there was the best comment and captured the truth about the video.

  57. v.... w....

    god how i miss the boy in my dreams. he wanted me to go out and cry in public. he had soft skin and suddenly he was gone and instead it was an indian there becide my bed... what a crazy dream.. i must have been so frozen.. i miss love.

  58. A.... H....

    Wow. This is an amazing music video! (and song) I would probably be the girl with the backpack out to paint the town. :)

  59. G.... P....

    My weird uncle managed to make the most incredible pole dancer I’ve ever seen fall in love with him as he ran the Cupid Love System (search in Google). It’s bad but I wish I was joyful for him but I want such a sexy woman to fall in love with me. I am really envious. Does that make me a bad individual?

  60. R.... D....

    She obviously does not agree with idiots like you, and the nonsense you spew... that's why she will play Israel.

  61. T.... S....

    Amanda don't play Israel, Israel is an apartheid state.

  62. x.... ....

    That might be stretching the truth. I'm sure it would be less than 50% but hey I don't go around quoting my own assumptions as fact.

  63. J.... B....

    this kinda remaindsme of sober gamzee, with all the colors,, :O)

  64. J.... ....

    Will there be a sequel?

  65. c.... ....

    Me encantó, es genial!

  66. U.... ....

    Thank you for doing this. It's beautiful.

  67. K.... ....

    Most likely the best fan video I have ever seen. I'm just in love with this! Keep up the good work!

  68. T.... M....

    read it again
    I wrote "most"

  69. G.... ....

    Best response EVER to that sort of stupid commentary, thanks mate ;)

  70. H.... ....

    description : "Please watch in high quality! (: "
    so what is High quality ? 360p ?

  71. E.... K....

    Wow, so cool, before reading the description I thought it was the official video

  72. J.... ....

    I'm an artist and I am bysexual :) Not that I am famous... yet... hopefully...

  73. h.... ....

    amazing video!!!

  74. J.... Q....

    Is it sad that I just watched that episode recently?

  75. S.... ....

    No idea what you're talking about.

  76. T.... M....

    I'll give it a go: Plato, Sappho, Da Vinci, Tchaikovsky, Diaghilev, Balanchine,Nijinsky,Shakespeare,T.E. Laurence, DH Lawrence, Thomas Mann, Y Mishima, Oscar Wilde, Jasper Johns, Tennessee Williams, W. Whitman, T Capote, Proust, Garcia Lorca, A. Warhol,David Wojnarowics, James Baldwin, Gertrude Stein, Allen Ginsberg. Cocteau, T.S Eliot, E.M Forster, M Foucault, Francis Bacon, Cecil Beaton, Paul Cadmus

    I could go on

  77. m.... ....

    NINJA POWA

  78. A.... ....

    So much ennui, so little time :(

  79. T.... F....

    This is one of the best examples of a song that's more about tone than the words. The words are just a rough guidepost where its going, imo. It's all about frustration and sorrow at being yourself, inside the limits of what you are, no matter how you console yourself with your rationalizations and hopes. And the only things that makes it tolerable is the external influence that keeps yanking you out of the maze of your weaknesses from time to time. (a blessing evoking ambivalence within)

  80. M.... C....

    this is terrible... no offence

  81. m.... ....

    This sucks. I thought I might like this when I clicked on it, but I was sadly mistaken. I'll stick with my metal music from now on :)

  82. N.... M....

    The dresden dolls are totaly wanda and cosmo hahaha

  83. M.... ....

    So you're saying it's basically that Fairly Odd Parents episode where Timmy wishes everyone was the same, but then gets persecuted for wearing a pink hat to distinguish himself so Wanda and Cosmo can find him and grant his wish to change everything back?

  84. S.... ....

    There isn't an original music video for The Kill, and it is the original DD song playing in the background...

  85. l.... ....

    this video is better than original!

  86. P.... ....

    Lol that is amazing!

  87. N.... B....

    How about this video? /watch?v=3j4t185wl-0

  88. S.... B....

    Love the song and a very very good video. Also: very good concept. Something people may forget, it's not all about images but also about the idea behind it :-)

  89. M.... G....

    kocham to!

  90. A.... W....

    Dresden dolls consegue ser original, totalmente original. *-*

  91. E.... K....

    That boy is beautiful

  92. l.... ....

    This is great, kinda Bowie/Alex Harvey with some unbelievable vox.

  93. G.... i....

    i thought this was the real music video! well done!!

  94. A.... M....

    This is really well done and fits the song well. XD IE INSANE. I love it. <3
