Outrageous
Bitter Ruin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanted to put myself in your position to figure you out
So I took a chainsaw to my scull and extracted my brain out
Something I found out in this exercise is you are alone
I wanted to think like you thought to answer some of the whys
So I took a blindfold of denial and bolted it to my eyes
And what I saw was something I'd not known before that you are alone

See those pretty eyes
Can be pretty green
And see that pretty mouth
Can be pretty mean
This boy is, this boy is
Outrageous

I tiptoed around you like a ballerina because I was na've
But you made me murderous, viciousness showed itself in me
Yeah it drew out a venom I'd not known about because he was alone

He took it out on me and I took it readily
While surviving this attack I soon learned how to battle back

See those pretty eyes
Can be pretty green
And see that pretty mouth
Can be pretty mean
This boy is, this boy is
Outrageous

And I can't say that I know myself anymore
And I won't say that I can be repaired
But I know I've learn from the trails that I was made to endure
And now he won't cross me I'm angry and he's the one that needs to be
Scared

See these pretty eyes
Can be pretty green
And see this pretty mouth
Can be pretty mean




This girl is, this girl is
Outrageous

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bitter Ruin's song "Outrageous" seem to be about the experience of coming to terms with a toxic relationship, with the singer trying to understand their partner's behavior by putting themselves in their shoes. The first verse suggests that the singer has attempted to remove their own perspective and see things solely from their partner's point of view, but this exercise only served to reveal that their partner is actually quite isolated and alone in their thinking. The chorus then references the contrast between the partner's outward beauty and the venomous behavior they exhibit, and describes the partner as "outrageous."


The second verse begins with the singer describing how they attempted to tiptoe around their partner, but eventually found themselves becoming more aggressive in response to the partner's behavior. The chorus is repeated again, and the song then closes with the singer acknowledging that they don't feel like they know themselves anymore after dealing with the toxicity of the relationship. However, they also make it clear that they have learned from the experience and are no longer willing to be a victim of their partner's behavior. The final chorus repeats the chorus from earlier, but this time the singer herself is described as "outrageous."
