Consumed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To rub me up the wrong way 'til I bleed
Taking on the whole street
We've had words once before
I think you've told me twice or maybe more
You're never going to like it
I don't want anything from you
Then I'm sneaking out the back way
I think we've heard enough before
Sick of all your bollocks, you're a bore
You've always got something to say
And to me I see no way
That you'll ever be any other way
Not today
These lyrics from Consumed's song Not Today describe the feeling of isolation and frustration that a person experiences when they are being constantly rubbed the wrong way by someone they used to be close to. The song seems to be about a toxic relationship where one person is always starting fights and trying to control the other person's life. The singer is exhausted and wants to escape but is unable to do so because they are still caught up in the drama.
The lyrics touch upon the idea that the person causing the problems will never change and that the singer sees no way that this could happen. The repetition of the line "not today" seems to suggest that the singer is holding out hope for a better future, but knows that it's unlikely to happen anytime soon. Overall, the song is a powerful representation of the pain and frustration that can come from being stuck in a difficult relationship and the desire to move on and find a better life.
Line by Line Meaning
It's lonely everyday without you
Life is a lonely place without you by my side
To rub me up the wrong way 'til I bleed
You always manage to get on my nerves until I can't take it anymore
Taking on the whole street
You're always ready for a fight and won't back down from any confrontation
We’ve had words once before
We've had disagreements in the past that have left us at odds with each other
I think you’ve told me twice or maybe more
You've made your point clear to me multiple times and I understand your perspective
You’re never going to like it
I know you won't approve of my decisions or my way of life, so I've stopped seeking your approval
I don’t want anything from you
I don't need anything from you and I'm content to live my life on my own terms
I’ve only come just to enjoy the view
I'm here to enjoy life's simple pleasures without any extraneous distractions
Then I’m sneaking out the back way
After I've had my fill of this situation, I'll discreetly make my exit
I think we’ve heard enough before
We've gone back and forth on this issue numerous times and I see no point in revisiting it again
Sick of all your bollocks, you’re a bore
I'm tired of listening to your nonsense; you're a tedious person to be around
You’ve always got something to say
You're constantly chatting and have an opinion on everything, even if it's not particularly insightful
And to me I see no way
I don't see any possibility of you changing your ways or your attitude
That you'll ever be any other way
I don't think you'll ever be any different from the person you are right now
Not today
I'm done with this conversation for now; let's just agree to disagree

Great album this. Golf, to be fair, is a great label.

@the helghast gamer The setlist and Facebook event look legit, I guess whether or not anyone will post footage of them at Podstock will prove it for sure.
