Cross the Line
Biohazard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You swear it's the truth, but I know you lied
I never thought that you would try to take me, break me
For all the years of pain and tears
Where you preyed upon my biggest fears
You didn't really think I could forgive you? Did you?
I did what I thought a man should do
But looking back, I'm glad we're through
With selfish ways you've made you bed
I think of you as if you're dead
You held me back for years but now its over
You didn't really think I could forgive you? Did you?
All my love has turned to hate
You've crossed the line, now it's too late
Accept your fate
Biohazard's song Cross the Line, is a reflective piece on the aftermath of a toxic relationship. The deep-seated emotions of anger and hurt permeate throughout the lyrics. The first verse talks about the betrayal the singer has experienced. The fires of hate burn deep inside, and the other person, in an effort to justify their actions, swears it's the truth, but the singer knows it's a lie. The chorus confronts the other person, who seemed to think they could get away with their behaviour. The singer asks, "You didn't really think I could forgive you? Did you?" The second verse dives deeper into the lasting impact the relationship had on the singer. They were preyed upon for years, and the other person took and took until they were broken. The pain they endured is palpable in the lyrics. The final lines make it clear that the singer is finally done with the other person's selfish ways and have moved on. All their love has turned to hate, and now it's too late for the other person to make amends.
Line by Line Meaning
The fires of hate burn deep inside
A strong feeling of anger and hostility is within me
You swear it's the truth, but I know you lied
You lied to me, but claimed that you told the truth
I never thought that you would try to take me, break me
I didn't expect you to attempt to take advantage of me, and cause me significant emotional harm
For all the years of pain and tears
Throughout multiple years of emotional suffering
Where you preyed upon my biggest fears
Taking advantage of my greatest anxieties and insecurities
You didn't really think I could forgive you? Did you?
You seem to believe that I would just forgive and forget all that you have done to me
I did what I thought a man should do
I acted according to what I perceived as proper and characteristic of a man
But looking back, I'm glad we're through
Now that it's in the past, I'm content that our relationship is over
You took and took from me till I was broken,
You consistently took advantage of me until I was emotionally shattered
With selfish ways you've made you bed
Your self-centered and inconsiderate behavior has led to your current state
I think of you as if you're dead
I no longer view you as a living entity or part of my life
You held me back for years but now its over
Your actions impeded my progress for a long time, but it no longer matters
All my love has turned to hate
My affection has completely transformed into disgust and detestation
You've crossed the line, now it's too late
You have exceeded my limit and it's irreversible now
Accept your fate
You must take responsibility for your actions and face the consequences
