Chevelle: Take Out The Gunman Meaning
Song Released: 2014
Take Out The Gunman Lyrics
Hit me right in the temple
Felt something cold
Touch my toes as it passed
Might not be the face you’d expect
But he’s clearly insane
Got me pegged in the back
Just need a bit of luck, get 'em up
Point the gun at...

This is probably completely wrong but I think it is about seeing a "gunman?" and you know, taking him out? I'm sorry, I'm not good with song meanings.
-
I think this song is about a sniper waiting for the right moment to take down someone who is getting ready to go on a shooting spree. Or it could possibly be about someone who catches on to someone who has a hit out on him. He's trying to muster up the courage to kill him before he gets killed.
-
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
-
They're talking about call of fucking duty.
-
The gunman is a metaphor that symbolizes a persons demons and the struggling within ourselff to conquer it while findin a way to mask it and guard it so that no one can see. That's what it means to me
-
There is actually a quote on what this song is about. It is about the schools as well as non school related mass shootings and how the media brings larger than life attention to them. It is a moment of 'if we don't televise/publicize the issue, would there be more or less of it happening" type of thing.
-
I think the band is dancing around what their hit song means. It sounds like a very pro gun song, coming up in a liberal controlled anti-self protection America. Chevelle hasn't given a real explanation of the song. I hope they don't. Their career could be ruined when "they" didn't agree.
