Inside The Mind of Satanic Killers

Inside The Mind of Satanic Killers

    

Have you ever killed? Have you killed a human? Maybe a dog? Or that fly that is annoying the shit out of you? What motivated you to kill?  Eminem’s song “Kill You” and “The Black Cat” by Edgar Allan Poe reveal the differences of the minds of murderers, and their satanic thoughts that provoke them to take another living thing’s life. In the song “Kill You”, Eminem spits violent, aggressive lines about the public’s visions and expectations of Slim Shady.  Edgar Allan Poe’s story of “The Black Cat” makes you feel as killing is the daily norm, although the descriptions in the way he kills may haunt your dreams. Both pieces of work will grab your attention, and make you realize the sanity and craziness that roams through a killer’s mind.

“I invited violence, you vile venomous volatile vicious / Vain  Vicodin vrin vrin vrin! / Texas Chainsaw, left his brains all / Danglin’ from his neck while his head barely hangs on”.

These lyrics capture the listener making you wonder how the hell someone can have these thoughts. But at the same time the song captures you with the aggressive tone, and makes you feel like you have a dark side just like Eminem. The lyrics have a purpose though, as Eminem uses these lyrics to express his disgust of the media and the public’s perception, views, and opinions on him. “The Black Cat” doesn’t express as much anger as Eminem does, but instead makes killing feel casual which can be perceived even crazier than Eminem’s song “Kill You”.
