   I think it has a classic videogame feel with its sound effects and broken synth parts. I definitely hear some super Mario coin noises in the middle or something, I think it's kind of a poke at the misguided idea that videogame violence can take over a persons mind.

   I know that Skrillex doesn't talk about love often but, 'Eat your heart' is a figure of speech used for the meaning of love. They say love in the song if you listen carefully. This may be about someone who just had a rough relationship and a rocky break-up. Most likely filled with greif, they went insane, wanting to get revenge and 'Kill everybody' that has to to with their life.

   I believe that the lyrics are about some kind of video game protagonist (Mario maybe, due to the game's sound effects heard throughout the song...) trying to get through a world filled with chaos, just wanting to kill everybody in the world,to pass the level.

   Sounds like his music is referring to some reptilian alien shit. Kinda feels like all his lyrics and albums are connected in a sense. Reptiles theme? I want to kill? Recess album art? Scary monsters and nice sprites (good aliens and bad aliens)?
   
   Really does seem like it goes deeper than relationship problems, just my opinion.

   I think it's because skrillex knows the truth about how we humans treat this earth with such slaughter and he wants to end the suffering of the earth!

   i think that this song is about the preconceived idea that video game violence is makes you violent. first i can hear pack-man like sounds in some of it pack-man you eat the ghosts, next i hear arcade like sounds in arcades there are plenty of violent games, and finally there are Mario coin sounds in Mario guess what you kill multiple creatures. that is how this song is about the preconceived idea that video game violence is makes you violent.

   I think the complete album (of scary monsters and nice sprites) is one story about a child, which has a demon inside of it (first of the year music video) and in this part the demon takes over the complete child..... :)

    Okay, I think that skrillex' "kill everybody" has a very mystical feeling to it. The echoes remind me of aliens from outer space, trying to destroy mankind. This is why the song says "I want to kill everybody in the world." But it definitely isn't related to a human's perspectives. Humans are too "humane" to want to do such. The "love love love" bit meant that the mystical creature was very into eating a person's heart. They want to devour the person's heart to feel their emotions.

    It sounds as if the Skrillex was trying to imitate the perspective of someone who has been just been divorced and gone mad.

    it pervades a sense of oneness where we could all be dead/reborn at the same time/space/cosmos. it shows no prejudice. eating the heart of the slain is a ritual practiced everywhere from hunters to warring people. it is also a common phrase in modern love. I will eat your heart!
