Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know it's steam
It's now been fifteen days since you've been steamed at me
And I don't want your frustration and your madness
Pushed and blamed on me
And you're crazy through the night
And, what the hell, you've been crazy all your life
And I don't want people thinking I'm not treating you right
It's the nature of it,
Steam
When you 're saying those things
That you don't really mean
You can blame it on the rain
You can blame it on the heat
It's the nature of it
Steam
I have my morals and Ihave me some respect. For Our relationship I hope that
You are doing all your bestWell I'm not so great, but I'm better in other ways.
You can't see them but I'm trying anyway.It's the nature of that game. that's
Why I claim
It's the nature of it,
Steam
When you 're saying those things
That you don't really mean
You can blame it on the rain
You can blame it on the heat
It's the nature of it
Steam
You seem to put it all on me
The sky, your health
Your dreams and your beliefs
And I seem to protect and respect everything
Too naturally
Steam,
You know it's steam
More days, more days
I'm steamed in every way
I said, no way, no way,
I'm steamed in every way
You can blame it on the rain
You can blame it on the heat
It's the nature of it
Steam
It's the nature of it,
Steam
When you 're saying those things
That you don't really mean
You can blame it on the rain
You can blame it on the heat
It's the nature of it
Steam
More days, more days
I'm steamed in every way
I said, no way, no way,
I'm steamed in every way
I said more days, more days,
I'm steamed in every way
I said, no way, no way,
This is where I stay.
"Steam" by Vanessa Amorosi is a song about a woman who is fed up with her partner's constant anger, frustration, and blaming. She acknowledges that his behavior is just "the nature of it," referring to steam as a metaphor for the pent-up emotions that arise in relationships. She explains that when he says hurtful things, he can blame it on external factors like the rain or the heat, but in reality, it is simply his emotional steam being released onto her. Despite her efforts to maintain her morals and respect their relationship, he continues to blame her for his issues.
The lyrics portray a woman who is determined to stand her ground and not let her partner's steam take over her life. She declares that she is "steamed in every way" but stays firm in her position, refusing to take the blame for his emotional issues any longer. Ultimately, the song highlights the cyclical and damaging nature of pent-up emotions in relationships and encourages individuals to take responsibility for their own emotions and behavior.
