Using 貴様 {きさま}​ as a joke?


I already know that 貴様 {きさま} is a very rude, derogatory term in japanese, and
is practically forbidden in real life situations. However, I came across a
song called キモチ by Mukai Shuutoku, and it contains the following verses :

> 貴様に伝えたい / 俺のこのキモチを

Here is a link for a live version of the song :

So I wondered if it was meant to be sarcastic, or provocative or some form of
artistic license?




Yes using 貴様 can be a joke, but I believe it's not used as a joke here.
Judging from the [whole
lyrics](https://www.joysound.com/web/search/song/73521), I can say the
lyricist used several "dirty words" intentionally for some reason.

  * ヘンタイ
  * 犬猫畜生
  * ブチこむ

So this 貴様 is simply there to show the person's high pride or arrogant
attitude. Such words frequently appear especially in heavy metal music.

By the way 貴様 used to be a respectful word in _archaic_ Japanese, but you can
forget it in this case. It's clearly meant to be dirty in this song.
