In this haunting narrative, Alec Benjamin uses vivid imagery and metaphors to convey a powerful message about the inevitability of karma. The protagonist is depicted as a deceptive individual who leaves destruction in his wake, symbolized by 'hearts in a bag' and 'bodies he'll drag.' Despite his attempts to escape his actions by outrunning karma, the song suggests that retribution is inevitable. The repeated phrase 'He's never gonna make it' underlines this inevitability. The lyrics also imply a critique of societal apathy towards injustice, represented by the 'poor people he's forsaken.' Ultimately, Benjamin reminds us that while one might momentarily evade the consequences of their actions, karma will always catch up in the end.
