Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker states that they have shot Marvin in the face, prefacing the violent admission with the casual exclamation “Oh man.” That sharp mismatch gives the line its unsettling force. The words acknowledge the act directly while leaving the circumstances and intent unexplained.
