Rejection
Abacabb Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are you intentionally killing me?
Can you not see what’s going on?
You are oblivious to my depression
My hatred for you has never been stronger but my love for you still wins the battle
Is your heart still warm blooded or have you completely run cold on me?
I know exactly what you thought
You thought you had me beat, well you thought wrong bitch
You're nothing but a piece of clay that this world has molded into something terrible

This must be a dream because it hurts way too much
This might be reality because it's killing me
This must be reality because it's fucking killing me
My mental imagery has faded into my reality and I can't tell them apart anymore
I thought we had this all planned out but you rejected all my intentions
You must have been thinking this since day one
I can see what’s going on here
This is a rejection of everything I have work for
You wasted my time and now I'm the only one left to say goodbye
This is the end

This is the end of everything
If I could promise you one thing, it's that you'll miss me when I'm dead

I know exactly what you thought
I can read your mind and understand your motives

You thought you had me beat, well you thought wrong bitch
You underestimated me and thought you had control over me, but you were mistaken

You're nothing but a piece of clay that this world has molded into something terrible
Your negative qualities are a result of external influences and you have not taken responsibility to improve yourself

This must be a dream because it hurts way too much
I cannot believe that this is real and hope that it is only a nightmare

This might be reality because it's killing me
The painful experiences I am enduring seem all too real and are taking a toll on me

This must be reality because it's fucking killing me
The intensity of my pain convinces me that this is the harsh reality I am living in

My mental imagery has faded into my reality and I can't tell them apart anymore
I am so consumed by my negative emotions that I cannot distinguish between my thoughts and what is really happening

I thought we had this all planned out but you rejected all my intentions

You must have been thinking this since day one
I suspect that you have always held negative perceptions about me

I can see what’s going on here
I understand the situation and can perceive the negative effects of your actions on me

This is a rejection of everything I have work for
Your rejection nullifies and undoes all the hard work and effort I have put in

You wasted my time and now I'm the only one left to say goodbye
Your disregard for my feelings and efforts has resulted in me being the one to end things

This is the end
This marks the conclusion and an irreversible separation of our relationship

This is the end of everything
This is the final end of everything related to my relationship with you

If I could promise you one thing, it's that you'll miss me when I'm dead
The negative effects of your actions will only be truly realized once I am gone and you are left alone
