About This Track

'Kill Something' by PUP is a 2021 track from the album 'Waiting / Kill Something '. The lyrics stage a restive, self-questioning mood, with the speaker swearing they are breaking out, calling out the confusion around what is wanted, and pushing back against worn-out patterns. There is a feeling of frustration and fatigue, alongside a strain of defiant introspection, as they ask why they keep doing the things they do, even when there seems to be nothing left to prove. The vocal tone leans into agitation, with the speaker growling at the sadness that has been lingering.

"Kill Something" is a track by PUP, from the album Waiting / Kill Something , released 9th November 2021. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about PUP.

Lyrics

Kill Something

[Verse 1]

I swear I'm breaking out of here

The things you want are still unclear

I'm sick of gnawing on these tired bones

While you cycle through the words I know

[Chorus]

And if I've got nothing to prove

Why do I do the things I do?

[Verse 2]

I growl at the sadness that's been eating you

I watch you disappear, I don't know what I should do

When every little thing seems to set you off

I try to get you off the couch, drag you around the block

[Chorus]

And if I've got nothing to prove

Why do I do the things I do?

I don't want to be locked up

Just want to kill something I love

Wouldn't that be enough?

[Bridge]

I'm biting back

Growling with a grin

When everything you love comеs caving in

Just want to kill something I love

(Over and ovеr and over)

Just want to kill something I love

(Over and over and over)

Just want to kill something I love

(Over and over and over)

Just want to kill something I love

(Over and over and over)

[Outro]

And if I've got nothing to prove

Why do I do the things I do?

I don't want to be locked up
