Master Of The Universe
Sick Puppies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just ask me
If you want to see the view from your knees
Come down and join me
I'm the final straw
The nail in the coffin
Just by being who I am
Is so Goddamned
I'm not the master of the Universe
I walk the Earth the wrong way
Met my potential and fulfilled the worst
My best is cursed the wrong way
Your glass is half, his glass is full
My glass is empty
You're running short of not enough
Well I got plenty
I've come a long way
I went the wrong way
And who I am
Is so Goddamned
I'm not the master of the Universe
I walk the Earth the wrong way
Met my potential and fulfilled the worst
My best is cursed the wrong way
And when I die I'm gonna fly and come and get you
And when you try and run I'll be the curse above you
It's gonna end
It's gonna end
In the race for disaster I will come in first
That's what I've learned
The hard way
What?!
If you want to know how far to go to hell
Just ask me
If you want to see the view from your knees
Come down and join me
I've come a long way
I went the wrong way
I've come a long way
I went the wrong way
I've come a long way
I went the wrong way
The lyrics to Master of the Universe by Sick Puppies are a dark and introspective reflection on the self. The singer, unsure of his place in the world, invites others to explore their own inner darkness by joining him in his pain. He sees himself as the final straw and the nail in the coffin, suggesting that he is the cause of his own chaos and demise. Despite this, he refuses to take on the title of the master of the Universe, acknowledging that he has taken the wrong path and fulfilled his worst potential.
Through the image of the glass, the singer compares himself to others who see the world in a more positive light. He describes his own as empty, suggesting that he is lacking in something essential that others possess. This emptiness is not due to a lack of material objects or experiences, but rather a deeper sense of purpose and satisfaction in life. The singer has come a long way, but he admits that he has gone the wrong way. Despite this, he still cannot bring himself to take responsibility for his shortcomings and accept the role of the master of the Universe.
In the final verses, the singer reveals a desire to escape his torment and to take others with him. He promises to come back, perhaps as a curse, to haunt those who have wronged him. The song ends with a sense of despair as the singer admits defeat in the race for disaster, acknowledging the mistakes he has made and the price he has paid.
