DAYWALKER! – English Lyrics

• By: Machine Gun Kelly, CORPSE

Lyrics & Translation

Learning a language through music is a powerful tool, and "DAYWALKER!" offers a unique opportunity to dive into the raw and intense side of English. The song's aggressive and direct lyrics can help you understand confrontational language and emotional expression in a high-energy context. What makes this track special is the collaboration between two very different artists, blending Machine Gun Kelly's rock-influenced style with CORPSE's deep-voiced horrorcore, creating a truly unforgettable and polarizing piece of music.

[English]

Punch that motherfucker in the face

You hated what he said, right?

Beat his ass, leave him at the stoplight

I know you wanted change, but nobody's around

So, kick him again while he's on the ground, yo

I'll never be the same

I wanna know if I tell you a secret, will you keep it?

I need someone to blame (take it)

And I see somebody talkin' with the mouth that's full of teeth

I wanna break (go)

Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight

Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight

Yeah, yeah

They tried to kill me in the rain

Tried to lay me down, and so I ducked and ran away

Put a gun up to my face, so I'll fucking catch a case (case)

When I find this motherfucker then I'll lay him in his grave

All these fucking razor blades

I wanna know if I tell you a secret, will you keep it?

I won't ever be the same

I bit the fucking apple, I'm surrounded by some snakes (CORPSE)

Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight

Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight

(Yeah, yeah) fight

Sdnah ydoolb

Bloody

Sdnah ydoolb

I prayed to God, and then I went to sleep with bloody hands

Inside my room, I heard the sirens from the ambulance

I chipped my tooth, and then I found a piece inside my pants

He talkin' shit, when he wake up, I go do that again

I came back

I wanna know if I tell you a secret, will you keep it?

If a pussy wanna say shit, then I'll fuckin' stomp his face in

Nah, not getting better, can't change it, I left blood all on the pavement

I'm on borrowed time, can't shake it, uh, blackout when I'm ragin', uh

Me and all these pills be on a fuckin' first name basis, uh

There's an invisible voice that is talkin' to me, and it's always tellin' me to kill

I got a problem with separating what my head is creating from things that are real

I'm in a room, hyperventilating and debating to pop off the cap of these pills

If I get angry, I'm goin' to start up a riot like people on Capitol Hill

Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight

Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight

(Yeah, yeah) fight
