The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Machine Gun (Fk the NRA)" by the artist "YUNGBLUD"

In "Machine Gun (Fk the NRA)", YUNGBLUD utilizes the metaphor of a "machine gun" to address mental health and societal pressures.

The lyrics depict the protagonist making "the news" for harming friends, suggesting a possible tragedy like a school shooting. Instead of empathy and support, he faces attempts to dissect his psyche with cold curiosity. "They looked inside my brain, said I wasn't okay" conveys a sense of hopelessness and being misunderstood.

The recurring question "Wanna see my machine gun?" is directed at a society that overlooks mental health issues, choosing to only see outward manifestations. The "machine gun" becomes a metaphor for inner turmoil, pain, and anger that the protagonist struggles to express otherwise.

Mentioning bleach and a razor blade is a cry for help, a display of desperation that is misconstrued as attention-seeking. "You make us famous" is a sarcastic jab at the media for sensationalizing tragedies.

The final lines "Why can't you just say 'machine gun'?" seem to be addressed to a mother figure who remains oblivious to his suffering.

I made the news today

Because I hurt my friends

They scribbled down my name

Tied both my hands behind my head

They made me meditate

To analyse my mental state

They looked inside my brain

And turns out I'm not okay

Wanna see my machine gun?

Wanna see my machine gun?

Wanna see my machine gun?

That I bought for fun

Wanna see my machine gun?

Wanna see my machine gun?

My new machine gun

I don't give a fuck about myself

All they do is analyse my mental health

I don't give a fuck about myself

You're making us famous

You're making us famous

I drank some bleach today

Because they forced me to

Hide it with lemonade

Round about 10 to two

I ate a razor blade just for attentions sake

I'm just wired up that way

If your not watching me

Wanna see my machine gun?

Wanna see my machine gun?

My new machine gun

That I bought for fun

Wanna see my machine gun?

Wanna see my machine gun?

My new machine gun

I don't give a fuck about myself

All they do is analyse my mental health

I don't give a fuck about myself

You're making me famous

You're making me famous

I don't give a fuck about myself

All they do is analyse my mental health

I don't give a fuck about myself

You're making me famous

You're making me famous

Wanna see my machine gun?

Wanna see my machine gun?

My new machine gun (My machine gun)

That I bought for fun

Wanna see my machine gun?

Wanna see my machine gun?

My new machine gun (My machine-)

You better fuckin' run

Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run,

Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run,

Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run...

Wanna see my machine gun?

Wanna see my machine gun?

My new machine gun

That I bought for fun

Wanna see my machine gun?

Wanna see my machine gun?

My new machine gun

You better fuckin' run

Wanna see my machine gun

Wanna see my machine gun

My new machine gun

That I bought for fun

Wanna see my machine gun

Wanna see my machine gun

My new machine gun

You better fuckin' run

Why can't you say my machine gun

Mama can't you see my machine gun

Why can't you say my machine gun

Mama can't you see my machine gun
