- Demolition Man Lyrics / with translationsOh! Demolition, demolition
Demolition, demolition
Tied to the tracks and the train's fast coming
Strapped to the wing with the engine running
You say that this wasn't in your plan
And don't mess around with the demolition man
Tied to a chair, and the bomb is ticking
This situation was not of your picking
You say that this wasn't in your plan
And don't mess around with the demolition man
I'm a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom
I kill conversation as I walk into the room
I'm a three line whip, I'm the sort of thing they ban
I'm a walking disaster, I'm a demolition man
Demolition, demolition
Demolition, demolition
You come to me like a moth to the flame
It's love you need but I don't play that game
'Cause you could be my greatest fan
But I'm nobody's friend, I'm a demolition man
I'm a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom
I kill conversation as I walk into the room
I'm a three line whip, I'm the sort of thing they ban
I'm a walking disaster, I'm a demolition man
Demolition, demolition
Demolition, demolition
Tied to the tracks and the train's fast coming
Strapped to the wing with the engine running
You say that this wasn't in your plan
And don't mess around with the demolition man
Tied to a chair, and the bomb is ticking
This situation was not of your picking
You say that this wasn't in your plan
And don't mess around with the demolition man
Demolition, demolition
Tied to the tracks and the train's fast coming
Strapped to the wing with the engine running
You say that this wasn't in your plan
And don't mess around with the demolition man
Tied to a chair, and the bomb is ticking
This situation was not of your picking
You say that this wasn't in your plan
And don't mess around with the demolition man
I'm a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom
I kill conversation as I walk into the room
I'm a three line whip, I'm the sort of thing they ban
I'm a walking disaster, I'm a demolition man
Demolition, demolition
Demolition, demolition
You come to me like a moth to the flame
It's love you need but I don't play that game
But I'm nobody's friend, I'm a demolition man
I'm a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom
I kill conversation as I walk into the room
I'm a three line whip, I'm the sort of thing they ban
I'm a walking disaster, I'm a demolition man
Demolition, demolition
Demolition, demolition
Tied to the tracks and the train's fast coming
Strapped to the wing with the engine running
You say that this wasn't in your plan
And don't mess around with the demolition man
Tied to a chair, and the bomb is ticking
This situation was not of your picking
You say that this wasn't in your plan
And don't mess around with the demolition man

✔️
It is first released in 1993 as part of Sting's album "Demolition Man" which includes 6 tracks in total. This song is the opening track on this album.
✔️
When we try to understand the message behind it, in his song 'Demolition Man', Sting pictures the character as a man of destruction, a wrecker who brings ruin and disorder to the world around him. The words tell of a person who has a hard shell, is far away, and has no intention of creating deep ties with anyone, so he is called a 'demolition man'. By the metaphor of being a 'walking nightmare' and 'arsenal of doom', the persona's destructive effect on others is portrayed, while the refrain 'don't mess with the demolition man' indicates the person's dangerous and unsteady character. The lyrics of Demolition Man mostly point to angst, anger, despair, love, and solitude. At the same time, the song points to the necessity of destruction and chaos along with isolation and rejection. Existence has been portrayed with danger and violence in the lyrics with examples like a person being tied to rails and a bomb ticking, which are not appropriate for children younger than 13. The imagery and word choice indicate a level of intensity that requires parental guidance.
