PRIDE
Antidote Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why you bring it up I don't know
You are so bloody stubborn leave me alone
Can't you see I'm watching the show
What the hell is your problem
Oh I guess it is your pride
Everybody sees that you are wrong
Can't you really see that you are wrong
You always jump into offense
Stupid pride you defend
It really doesn't make any sense
In the song "Pride" by Antidote, the singer is addressing someone who is being stubborn and defensive about a past issue that he believes has already been resolved. He wonders why this person is bringing up the issue again and insists that he be left alone to enjoy the show. The singer then accuses the other person of being wrong and having a problem with pride, which is causing him to unnecessarily become argumentative and defensive. In the final verse, the singer laments that the other person is unable to see that he is wrong and his senseless defense of his pride is causing him to become difficult to communicate with.
Overall, the song "Pride" is about the negative effects of pride, particularly when it causes people to become defensive, argumentative, and unable to engage in open communication. The song suggests that this kind of pride often stems from a refusal to accept that one may be wrong about something, even when presented with evidence, and that it is a harmful and immature attitude that ultimately makes it difficult for people to have meaningful and productive relationships.
