Dirt
8:*) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have never felt such frustration
Or lack of self control
I want you to kill me
And dig me under, I want to live no more

One who doesn't care, is one who shouldn't be
I've tried to hide myself from what is wrong for me
For me

I want to taste dirty, a stinging pistol
In my mouth, on my tongue
I want you to scrape me from the walls
And go crazy like you've made me

One who doesn't care, is one who shouldn't be
I've tried to hide myself from what is wrong for me

One who doesn't care, is one who shouldn't be
I've tried to hide myself from what is wrong for me, for me

You, you are so special
You have the talent to make me feel like dirt
And you, you use your talent to dig me under
And cover me with dirt

One who doesn't care, is one who shouldn't be
I've tried to hide myself from what is wrong for me





One who doesn't care, is one who shouldn't be
I've tried to hide myself from what is wrong for me

Line by Line Meaning

I have never felt such frustration
I'm feeling an unparalleled level of anger and annoyance


Or lack of self control
I'm losing my ability to maintain composure


I want you to kill me
I want to be free from this unbearable pain


And dig me under, I want to live no more
I want to disappear and not exist any longer


One who doesn't care, is one who shouldn't be
Someone who doesn't show concern has no place


I've tried to hide myself from what is wrong for me
I've attempted to mask my imperfections and flaws


I want to taste dirty, a stinging pistol
I'm craving something dangerous


In my mouth, on my tongue
I want to feel it inside and taste it


I want you to scrape me from the walls
I want you to take me away from my misery


And go crazy like you've made me
And lose yourself in the same way that I have


You, you are so special
You have a unique quality about you


You have the talent to make me feel like dirt
You possess the ability to lower my self-esteem


And you, you use your talent to dig me under
And you use this skill to bury me


And cover me with dirt
And suffocate me with your words
