Hello! This is my first time here and I'm quite a youngster, only 15!
Anyways, I noticed there was a lack of interpretation for this song although the meaning is quite straightforward, which is in the title "You Should All Be Murdered" but I still wanna share my interpretation!
I don't think the writer of this song intended the meaning to be in his point of view but rather as a third-person view from everyone, the lyrics of this song wherein he describes the people who he would've murdered kinda proves this, in one of them they mentioned "The people who don't know when to forget and forgive" and "The people who told me I was wrong and they were right" which would also be referring to himself... therefore I think he describes all of humanity, including him, all of us. As we read through the lyrics, there will always be something that you can empathize with.
The world is a wonderful place filled with terrible people, and that's why we all should be murdered, someday that will happen, but for now, what we really can only do is be the ones to stand up and be the wonderful people in this world.
I hope I didn't drag this out for too long, but I also want to add one more thing. As a Smiths Fan, I thought the singer was Morrissey at first, and I was surprised to know that it wasn't him. Although, it's one of the charms of this song. Great song! Aylabet!
