Hip To Be Scared
by
Ice Nine Kills, Jacoby Shaddix
This track serves as a dark and twisted narrative, exploring the psyche of a remorseless killer. The lyrics reflect the protagonist's descent into madness, with his obsession for beauty and violence acting as an alibi. The song references societal obsessions with appearances and how they can be used to disguise malevolence. It also suggests that even the vilest actions can be overlooked or excused if committed by someone who fits into societal standards of wealth and attractiveness. There is a clear critique of superficiality, vanity, and the darker side of American culture. The song's title "Hip To Be Scared" could signify society's fascination with horror and violence. #DarkNarrative #SocialCritique #HorrorFascination
