Do You Doubt Me Traitor
LINGUA IGNOTA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How can you doubt me?
How can you doubt me now?
How can you doubt me?
Every stone on every mountain
Is etched with my name
Every vein, of every leaf, of every tree
Is slaked with poison
If you rise up to heaven
I turn the sun to blind you
If you sleep deep in hell
I have chains to bind you
How can you doubt me now?
How can you doubt me?
How can you doubt me now?
How can you doubt me?
Satan!
Satan!
Satan get beside me!
Satan!
Satan!
Satan fortify me!
I don't eat
I don't sleep
I don't eat
I don't sleep
I don't eat
I don't sleep
I don't eat
I don't sleep
I don't eat
I let it consume me
How do I break you
Before you break me?
How, how do I break you
Before you break me?
How do I break you?
How do I break you?
How?
How?
How do I break you?
How?
How do I break you
How do I break you?
How do I break you
Before you break me?
How do I break you
Before you break me?
How do I break you?
How do I break you?
How?
How?
How do I break you?
How?
How do I break you?
When all this is ended
As cruel as I am
Remember how I loved you
But that nothing, nothing can stand
My friends all wear your colors
Your flag flies above every door
But bitch I smell you bleeding
And I know where you sleep
Do you doubt me traitor?
Throw your body in the fucking river
I'm the cunt killer
And I don't eat
I don't sleep
I don't eat
I don't sleep
The lyrics to LINGUA IGNOTA's "Do You Doubt Me Traitor" convey a sense of power and control that the singer asserts over others. The repetition of the phrase "how can you doubt me" suggests a deep sense of insecurity and an almost violent need for validation. The imagery of every stone and vein bearing the singer's name and being slaked with poison shows a desire for domination and a willingness to destroy in order to achieve it.
The references to heaven and hell, and to Satan getting beside and fortifying the singer, suggest a desire to wield evil as a tool to assert their power. The repeated refrain of "I don't eat, I don't sleep" shows a complete disregard for basic human needs, suggesting an almost inhuman level of control and dedication to their goals.

The last part with the triple voice vocal harmony from Lingua always makes me feel like the day of judgement has come, as if it's the day all her abusers and perpetrators will pay, and it's her day to get revenge. Powerful
Marek Siciński
I’m not sure that’s the effect
It’s catharsis no?
Marek Siciński
I don’t like this interpretation, it feels simplistic and taking away from the expression
Reverse Wyvern
@Marek Siciński Care to provide an alternative?

@Reverse Wyvern Yeah dawg, I got you. So the entire song is written from one perspective, the Abuser, not the victim. The end of the song is a pyrrhic victory. The abuser is ostracized ("My friends all wear your colors, Your flag flies above every door") when the truth comes out, but the horror is far from over. The abuser has spent countless hours obsessing over how to break the victim. And the abuser isn't about to stop now. Alone, with nothing to lose, the abuser still hates the victim, and perpetually contemplates vengeance.
Imagine having escaped with your life from a serial abuser, and knowing that his or her hatred of you festers so strongly still, that they forget to eat and sleep.
