Vinegar
Anna Abreu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need some time to think so let me be
I got to tell you what I'm going through
The writing's on the wall now can't you see
Got to breathe
My apologies
You can't get it right with me so I just gotta go
Disbelief
And constant grief
Sour aftertaste was all I ever came to know
When I smile, you're the tears
I can't make them stop
When I try to connect
You will always block
And you curdle my cream
Like a lemon drop
Don't you know
You're vinegar in my dreams
You're the dirt in my eye
When I try to see
You're the smoke in my lungs
When I try to breathe
And you're the disorder
When I need sleep
Don't you know
You're vinegar in my dreams
You may be right, I may have been a fool, but
Those days are gone and now you're history
You think you're dope, but boy, you're far from cool
Just like a discord in a symphony
Like the rain
Washing down the drain
Don't you realize a thing like this will not sustain
And it's not a shame
'Cause you're just a stain
You should know that in the end the song remains the same
You can't bring me down now it's too late
No more tears and no more hearts to break
The lyrics of Anna Abreu’s Vinegar are a powerful representation of a relationship that is toxic and laced with pain. The singer begins with stating that the other person has no clue what it’s like to be with her. She admits that she needs some space to think about what she is going through. The writing is on the wall, and it is time for her to move on. There is a sense of finality in her voice, and she tells the person they can’t get it right with her, and it's time for her to go.
The chorus drives the point home about how terrible the person is for her. She compares him to vinegar, the dirt in her eye, smoke in her lungs, and the disorder when she needs sleep. The singer is overwhelmed by the chaos and heartache that the other person is causing in her life. The lyrics of Vinegar are a reflection of the pain many people experience when being with someone who blocks their attempts to connect, causes tears in their eyes, obstructs their breathing and disturbs their sleep.
In the end, the singer declares that she has moved past whatever influence the other person had over her. The days of being a fool for him are now history, and she tells him that he’s not as cool as he thinks he is. The relationship is like a discord in a symphony and should not be sustained. She ends by saying that nothing can bring her down, tears, or break her heart again. The tone of the song is raw and emotional, cutting to the core of the pain the singer feels.
Line by Line Meaning
You don't know what it's like to be with you
I am having trouble understanding myself when I'm around you
I need some time to think so let me be
I require time to ponder my feelings and need space
I got to tell you what I'm going through
I must let you know how I feel
The writing's on the wall now can't you see
The evidence of my emotions is clear as day, you just won't acknowledge it
Got to breathe
I need to take deep breaths to stay calm
My apologies
I am sorry for what I'm about to say or do
You can't get it right with me so I just gotta go
Our relationship will never improve, so I must end it
Disbelief
I am in a state of shock
And constant grief
I am continuously saddened
Sour aftertaste was all I ever came to know
I never experienced anything positive with you, only bitterness
When I smile, you're the tears
My happiness is always ruined by you
I can't make them stop
I cannot stop crying over you
When I try to connect
When I attempt to bond with you
You will always block
You always prevent me from forming a connection with you
And you curdle my cream
You ruin any positivity I have
Like a lemon drop
Like sour candy
Don't you know
Are you not aware
You're vinegar in my dreams
You ruin my dreams and aspirations
You're the dirt in my eye
You obstruct my vision
When I try to see
When I attempt to view things clearly
You're the smoke in my lungs
You affect me negatively, like second-hand smoke
When I try to breathe
When I try to inhale clearly
And you're the disorder
You cause disorder in my life
When I need sleep
When I require rest
You may be right, I may have been a fool, but
You could be correct, I may have been naïve
Those days are gone and now you're history
Our time together has ended, and I've moved on
You think you're dope, but boy, you're far from cool
You believe you're impressive, but you're not
Just like a discord in a symphony
You are like an unpleasant sound in an overall beautiful composition
Like the rain
Similar to rainfall
Washing down the drain
Falling down the drain
Don't you realize a thing like this will not sustain
You need to acknowledge that this situation will not last
And it's not a shame
It isn't regrettable
'Cause you're just a stain
Because you are only a mark left behind
You should know that in the end the song remains the same
You must realize that things will not change, and our story is over
You can't bring me down now it's too late
You cannot affect my emotions now, it's too late for that
No more tears and no more hearts to break
I am no longer sad, and you cannot hurt me anymore
