Teeth On A String
Cancerslug Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A little angrier everyday,
Takes everything i can do,
To keep from Killing every one of you.
Just trying to live my life,
Don't get in my way or there'll be a fight.
You little pussies don't know what to do,
And if you're standing in my shadow,
You're gonna lose some blood.
If I want you, you are mine.
And if you're standing in my shadow,
You're gonna lose some blood,
Bitch if i want, you're mine.
There's a burning feeling in my brain,
Pouring over, driving me insane,
Still I just don't what to do,
Teeth on a String is all that's left of you.
There isn't any other way...

Getting harder to find my way,
I'm struggling to deal with life's challenges and I'm becoming more frustrated each day.
A little angrier everyday,
With the chaos around me, my temper is consistently escalating.
Takes everything i can do,
I have to work extra hard to control my violent tendencies and not lash out.
To keep from Killing every one of you.
I'm constantly battling the desire to harm those who I perceive as obstacles.
Just trying to live my life,
All I want to do is exist without interference from others.
Don't get in my way or there'll be a fight.
If anyone tries to impede my sense of freedom, I will retaliate with aggression.
You little pussies don't know what to do,
Those who oppose me are weak and pose no real threat.
After I beat you, I'm gonna piss on you.
I will humiliate those I triumph over by urinating on them.
And if you're standing in my shadow,
If you are in my presence,
You're gonna lose some blood.
you will inevitably face physical harm.
If I want you, you are mine.
I will take whatever or whoever I desire without any regard for their wishes.
And if you're standing in my shadow,
Again, if you are in my presence,
You're gonna lose some blood,
I will bring harm upon you.
Bitch if i want, you're mine.
I have no issue treating people like objects that I can claim as my own.
There's a burning feeling in my brain,
I'm consumed by an intense, fiery emotion within my mind.
Pouring over, driving me insane,
This strong emotion is overwhelming and causing me to act irrationally.
Still I just don't what to do,
Despite my internal turmoil, I am unsure of how to cope.
Teeth on a String is all that's left of you.
After I've done inflicting harm, all that's left of my victim is their teeth on a string.
There isn't any other way...
I feel that violence is the only solution to any perceived problems.
