"Homicide Stage" by Morning In May, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus & Judge & Jury, is a dark, in-your-face song based on images of fear, violence, and emotional scars. There's a real sense of isolation in the lyrics, and I'm struck by the line "Nobody's coming now," which repeats. The chorus again identifies another scar in the crowd, making the song's tension personal and uncomfortable. The writing asks why the harm is done and leaves the listener with the heavy question of what happens when vengeance is in charge.
