Lyrical Analysis of...
The Ballad of Little Billy
- Now little Billy didn't have his head screwed on too clearly,
- Rumoured to be bedding nude women up to four nights weekly,
- Insecure, not immature, how much more he could endure?
- Billy felt incomplete so he stayed up late so he didn't have to sleep,
- He'd give anything not to be left on his own trying to count the sheep,
- Truth is little Billy got his heart broke and his coping strategy...Well...
- It was fucking bitches relentlessly with a nose full of nasty coke,
- Please take note, this isn't something I would recommend,
- But Billy was lonely and didn't have any friends,
- Desperate for a bit of emotional compassion,
- He started hopping beds like it was going out of fashion,
- Sexual action is mutually exclusive to passion,
- But he saw the attraction and satisfaction of not waking up alone...
- So he kept on fucking those bitches until the cows came home,
- Moans and groans reverberated in his head like ringtones.
- Billy fully realised that boning was over rated,
- Opened his vault, thought back to the girl he last dated,
- Back to a time where his negative thoughts were sedated,
- Back to a time when there was no one that he hated,
- There was no one he berated, just Billy and his girl getting creative,
- There was no one in the world that he would rather be mates with,
- No else mattered, so Billy gave his heart to her on a silver platter,
- But she devoured it and spat it back out and the blood spattered
- All over Billy's face, left a sour taste that he couldn't get rid of.
- His emotions caught fire, he bottled them and threw them like a
- Molotov cocktail, his nerves frail, he fell off the trail and questioned society..
- Why why...why why why did it happen to me?
- Paradigm shift... Billy was mythed, never trusted women again,
- Restricted female interaction to tossing off to lesbians,
- Billy got depressed and everything seemed beyond his control,
- He got so stressed and nothing seemed to enlighten his soul.
- Was it all a dream? Or can nothing really fill the hole?
- Years pass by and still Billy is on the dole
- Figuring out his role in life, sleeping around, no possibility of a wife
- Feeling hard done by the mental strife he has to lives with,
- Spent his food budget on drugs that were irresistibly addictive,
- Inconsistently hit with bouts of fear and aggression,
- Billy's now a down and out and still hasn't learnt his lesson,
- Billy's now 24 i'm guessing and saves enough to get a Smith &Wesson,
- He figured this way of getting money is easier than begging,
- Heading towards the nearest convenience store, ski mask cocked,
- Adrenaline pumping from the last bit of crack rock,
- He smacked his chops and got psyched, what happened next changed his life
- He rocked into the place with his new 45 but guess what?
- The shopkeeper brandished his knife, knowing he'd survive,
- So Billy stuck the gun his face, he'd never felt so alive,
- But the man ducked and lashed out, protecting his fam,
- Billy began firing aimlessly, shooting to kill shamelessly,
- The man hit the ground, shimmied over until he got a clear shot,
- He pick up his shiny knife, threw it, hit Billy right in his
- Chest, Billy fell to the deck without taking so much as a breath,
- And Billy's death won't be mourned, he was just a forlorn stranger,
- Who invested too heavily in others without seeing the danger.
