Kiss Me, Son of God

A biting satire of power-hungry dictators and corrupt leaders unfolds in this darkly humorous track. 👑 The narrator has built their empire through exploitation and manipulation, destroying relationships and torturing others while amassing wealth. The comparison to Jesus is particularly ironic, highlighting how these leaders often develop a messiah complex, demanding worship while being far removed from true divine qualities. The repeated line "Kiss me, Son of God" mockingly represents how these figures demand absolute devotion from their subjects, who have been beaten into submission to the point where they willingly bow before their oppressor. The song brilliantly captures the narcissistic delusion of authoritarian leaders who convince themselves they are beloved while ruling through fear and exploitation. #PowerCorrupts #Satire #Dictatorship
