Song Meaning of “Excessive Corpus Delicti” by General Surgery
“Excessive Corpus Delicti” by General Surgery paints a picture of desperate revenge on a wrongdoer. The narrator has been scarred emotionally and spiritually by the actions of the perpetrator, with lines such as “cold and callous ones that made me bleed” describing how the narrator was treated.
This sense of hurt and anger builds throughout the track, with the chorus featuring the narrator shouting “excessive corpus delicti, no trial by jury!”, showing the profound pain the wrongdoer has caused. It is clear to the narrator that the perpetrator must suffer as they have made them suffer, with revenge being the only way justice will be served.
The track provides a deep insight into the human psyche when revenge is sought for wrongdoings. It is a powerful anthem of defiance, and speaks to anyone who has ever felt wronged and wanted to make sure the perpetrator was held accountable.
