Kiss Me, Son of God Lyrics

I built a little empire out of some crazy garbage
Called the blood of the exploited working class
But they've overcome their shyness
Now they're calling me Your Highness
And a world screams, "Kiss me, Son of God"

I destroyed a bond of friendship and respect
Between the only people left who'd even look me in the eye
Now I laugh and make a fortune
Off the same ones that I tortured
And a world screams, "Kiss me, Son of God"

I look like Jesus, so they say
But Mr. Jesus is very far away
Now you're the only one here who can tell me if it's true
That you love me and I love me

I built a little empire out of some crazy garbage
Called the blood of the exploited working class
But they've overcome their shyness
Now they're calling me Your Highness
And a world screams, "Kiss me, Son of God"
Yes a world screams, "Kiss me, Son of God"

What is the Meaning of 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
