Another installment of strange song lyrics

"The craftsmen will blow your ass out the door"
--Atomkraft, "Total Metal"

... which is apparently a song reminding you to always tip your carpenter.
Its coherent in context of a breakup, not sure why his head is on the floor. Guesses?

1st verse of: Tell me what you want, by Zebra.

I've been wasting my time
I am losing my mind
My head's on the floor forevermore
I have given you all
All that I had
But with a slam of a door
You've driven me mad
Now I'm sad

If we take the line "My head's on the floor forevermore" literally, it would mean that the singer's head is physically on the floor, which is a bizarre image. If this was the case, it would suggest that the singer has fallen or collapsed to the ground, possibly due to the shock of the breakup. We could imagine that he is lying on the floor, unable to move, feeling completely immobilized by the pain of the breakup.

For example, a music video for this song could show the singer physically lying on the ground with his head on the floor while his ex-lover walks away. The camera could pan out to show the singer lying there for hours or even days, unable to move, until someone finally comes to check on him. The scene could be dark and moody, with a lot of shadows and muted colors to emphasize the singer's emotional state, like in a Joji music video after Joji became Joji after his Pink Guy phase.

I believe the whole concept of tipping your carpenter, was started by the Catholic church.
Hypothetically it would be a real hell if you didn't.

I kinda love the mental image of Atomkraft being devout Catholics.

Zebra: known for their dark and moody themes.

Well if compared to Mayham. Then both Venom and Atomkraft could be considered boyscouts.

Except Zebra is not really know though.
For their fans sure. But obscure to all others.
The lyrics in #2 could just as well have been from a random sad love song made yesterday.
