Bitter And Sick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No rest tonight
Eyes (eyes) wide (wide) shut (shut)
Shut out the light
Put me through hell again
I miss the fire
Let's burn the other end
With no end in sight
Come on and break me down
I'll let you ruin my day
Flow through my veins
I need a fix
Bitter and sick
Say (say) you (you) know (know)
Try to pretend
One (one) more (more) time (time)
Try it again
Your fingers round my neck
Just how I like
Make me your mess again
Do it tonight
Come on and break me down
I'll let you ruin my day
Flow through my veins
I need a fix
Bitter and sick
Come on and break me down
I'll let you ruin my day
Flow through my veins
I need a fix
Bitter and sick
Bitter and sicker than
Love (love) love (love) love (sicker than)
Love (love) love (love) love (sicker than)
Love (love) love (love) love (sicker than)
Love
Come on and break me down
I'll let you ruin my day
Flow through my veins
I need a fix
Bitter and sick
Bitter and sick
The lyrics of Bitter And Sick's song One Two speak to the theme of addiction, more specifically to the feeling of being trapped in a toxic cycle of dependency on someone else. The lyrics mention a lack of rest and closed eyes, suggesting perhaps an inability to escape the situation. The line "Put me through hell again" evokes a sense of familiarity with the pain, and the singer seems to be craving the "fire" of the dysfunctional relationship once more. The repeated refrain "Come on and break me down, I'll let you ruin my day" reinforces the feeling of being powerless to resist the cycle of addiction.
The lyrics also contain imagery of physical violence: "Your fingers round my neck, just how I like / Make me your mess again, do it tonight." While it's possible this could be seen as consensual kink play, the overall tone of the song implies a lack of healthy boundaries and a wilful self-destruction.
The repeated phrase "Bitter and sick" emphasizes the negative emotional state of the singer, who seems to be aware of their own emotional dysfunction but unable to break free from it. The final lines, "Bitter and sicker than love," suggest that the craving for this toxic relationship is not driven by any healthy positive emotions, but rather a need to feed an addiction that has ceased to bring any real satisfaction.

@rachelvercosa
Reign has the best soundtrack, that's for sure! Some great songs.
@KateOwino
Indeed!
@PeepsILoveEllie
I adore this song. still remember the first time I listened to it, on the way to a friend's place in Paris. I love it because it sounds so beautiful, but has a very dark theme.. in my opinion, it is about addiction to a person, addiction to drama, feeling so low that you'll let your lover use you, being so in love that you don't care about waking up alone, welcoming the pain because it is better than the constant numbness..
@nicholeallen1901
Heard this on Reign! Loved it!
@Empressoftheflames
Haunting song about that which is broken but still beautiful. That scene in Reign was really something.
@patt1590
what episode it is on?
@Empressoftheflames
Patricia montiel rodriguez Season 1 Episode 15 when Henry has Kenna sleep with a woman.
@patt1590
+Empressoftheflames ooh thanks I love reign and this song 💜
@brunagardel4047
This song worked so well on that scene in reign... there's nothing heathy about Kenna's relashionship with henry, he ruins her everytime they touch, still she feels like she needs him
