Sour
Bracket Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give me all the blame, so I can be ashamed
I don't know how. Just cleanse me now
Leave a sour taste in my mouth
Cut me down to size. Tell me a white lie
I just want to land in the palm of your hand
[Chorus]
Crying, fighting, trying to be sweet
Cut me down to size. Tell me a white lie
Give me all the blame, so I can be ashamed
[Chorus]
In the song "Sour" by Bracket, the lyrics focus on a person asking to be cleansed and sanitized, even if it means being blamed and feeling shame. The lyrics "Keep me sanitized. Leave me sterilized" suggest a desire for perfection and purity, while "Give me all the blame, so I can be ashamed" reflects a need to take responsibility for mistakes and failures. The line "Cut me down to size" seems to indicate a willingness to be humbled and brought back down to reality.
The lyrics also express a desire to please and be accepted by someone else. The line "Tell me a white lie" implies a willingness to believe a lie if it means being able to feel wanted and loved. The chorus, which repeats the line "Crying, fighting, trying to be sweet," suggests that this desire for acceptance may come at a cost, and that the person may be struggling to maintain their own identity and integrity in the process.
