Paradigm
Bitterwood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a shame that my feet are five steps ahead of you
And my eyes and my heart
Will always be better than yours
A simple tragedy of a girl misled
A weak minded boy with no thoughts of his own
Little child of mine that falls underneath my wings
A father no-fucking-where to be seen
Idiot
Disgrace
Idiot
Disgrace
Take the life out of me, strike the passion that I need
See me rot in this hole underneath your feet
I am your god
I am your god
I am your god




I am your god
I am your god

The lyrics also touch on themes of family and fatherhood, with the line "Little child of mine that falls underneath my wings/A father no-fucking-where to be seen." This suggests that the singer may have experienced abandonment or neglect at the hands of their own father, making them more determined to assert themselves and be their own "god."

It's a shame
That my feet
Are five steps ahead of you

And my eyes

Will always be better than yours

With no thoughts of his own

A father no fucking where to be seen
