“Getting Away With Murder” is a deviation from Papa Roach’s original sound (a sitch from Nu Metal to Hard Rock) as the song contains no rapping which used to be one of the band’s signature styles.

[Verse 1]
Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
What creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishment
And you're the master
And I am waiting for disaster
[Chorus]
I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It isn't possible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder
[Post-Chorus]
Getting away, getting away, getting away
[Verse 2]
I drink my drink and I don't even want to
I think my thoughts when I don't even need to
I never look back because I don't even want to
And I don't need to
Because I'm getting away with murder
[Chorus]
I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It isn't possible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder
[Post-Chorus]
Getting away, getting away, getting away
Getting away, getting away, getting away
Getting away, getting away, getting away with murder
[Verse 3]
Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
What creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishment
And you're the master
And I am craving this disaster
[Chorus]
I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It isn't possible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder
(Getting away, getting away, getting away)
I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It isn't possible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder

In an interview with SongFacts Tobin said:
That song had more of a darker, sexual kind of twisted meaning behind it. It was about being a sex fiend. And then instead of being so literal with the video, we took it in more of a political direction, and of course it just recently took on a lot of mean...
