    Still one of the most metal lyrics ever.

    “I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die

    How much more detached and psychotic can you get? Even with goregrind, the motive is clear, albeit deranged. This is just, fuck it, I just want this person dead just to see them die.

        no, it can be for other reasons, for example, self defence, a disagreement, to gain territory, for profit, expression of rage, etc etc. NB :these reasons might not be right or wrong, but they are motivations outside of seeing someone die.

        The idea is that in "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die” there is no other motivation. The only motive is to see the guy die, in a singularly morbid motivation.
