Song Meaning of “Once You Killed A Cow, You Gotta Make A Burger” by Make Me Famous
This song speaks to the reality of consequences that accompany decisions, no matter what specific action you take. The message: once the action is completed, the result is inevitable. There’s no turning back — you must accept the outcome and make the best of it. There’s a certain level of self-awareness that surfaces in the song’s narrative. What you’ve done may not be ethical or moral. It may even mean breaking the law, but once you’ve acted on it, there’s nothing that can be done except accept the results.
You have to deal with the consequences of what you’ve started — implications of violence for violence, loss for loss, payment for payment, touch for touch. This may come with a sense of resignation, regret, guilt even. But with each and every action taken, something has to be made from it, even if that something is difficult to stomach or accept. A burger must be made from a slaughtered cow. The tumultuous emotions of decision making and the aftermath are pieces of the narrative in this song.
