Trust Me
Civet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've got something to hide, I've got something to prove
Oh God tell me, what the fuck did I do?
Oh I can't trust you, cause you lie, you lie...
And I'm down on my knees
Back on my knees, I wanna die
This is really good stuff they say
Tell me where it hurts, I'll look the other way
So sick, so pregnant, so yesterday
I'm so happy all the time
An hour to kill, bathe in cyanide
And I'm planning your demise
While your cheating heart beats out my envious eyes
Blonde, drunk & crazy,
She's no lady, no lady like me
In Civet's song "Trust Me," the singer addresses someone they thought they could trust, but has since lied to them. The lyrics open with a plea to deny that the lies are true, as the singer sees something in the way the person looks at the alleged liar, leading to the suspicion that there is something to hide. The singer wants to prove something and is deeply upset and confused as to what they could have done to be lied to. They make it clear that they cannot trust what the other person says, and the thought of it fills them with despair, leaving them on their knees and wanting to die.
The next set of lyrics, "This is really good stuff they say/Cleanse your heart and make him pay/Tell me where it hurts, I'll look the other way/So sick, so pregnant, so yesterday," suggests that the singer is possibly turning to drugs or alcohol to numb the pain of the deceit. They are seeking revenge, saying they will help make the other person suffer and find pleasure in planning their demise. The final line, "Blonde, drunk & crazy/She's no lady, no lady like me," appears to be a reference to another woman who has come between them, perhaps the subject of the lies.
Overall, "Trust Me" expresses the agony of betrayal and the destructive desire for vengeance that can arise from it. The lyrics suggest a struggle with addiction and a sense of not being good enough, as the singer compares themselves negatively to another woman. The song's raw lyrics and aggressive tone make it a powerful expression of the pain of deceit and heartbreak.
Line by Line Meaning
Tell me it's not the truth, the way she looks at you boy
Please deny the fact that she is looking at you this way, my dear friend
You've got something to hide, I've got something to prove
I know you're keeping a secret, and I'm determined to expose it
Oh God tell me, what the fuck did I do?
I am confused and desperate for answers about what I may have done wrong
Oh I can't trust you, cause you lie, you lie...
I cannot trust you anymore because you are a liar
And I'm down on my knees
I am feeling weak and vulnerable
Back on my knees, I wanna die
I am in a state of extreme emotional pain and distress
This is really good stuff they say
People claim that this is a powerful and effective solution
Cleanse your heart and make him pay
Purify your soul and make your partner suffer for their wrongdoing
Tell me where it hurts, I'll look the other way
I will ignore your pain and focus on my own agenda
So sick, so pregnant, so yesterday
I am feeling unwell, overwhelmed, and outdated
I'm so happy all the time
Despite my inner turmoil, I try to keep a positive facade
An hour to kill, bathe in cyanide
I feel so hopeless that I would consider taking my own life
And I'm planning your demise
I am contemplating revenge against you for hurting me
While your cheating heart beats out my envious eyes
I am painfully aware of your betrayal and cannot stop thinking about it
Blonde, drunk & crazy,
She is acting irrationally and recklessly
She's no lady, no lady like me
She lacks the grace and dignity that I think I possess
