Wrong Way
Eden Synthetic Corps Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I should have let you know I had the feeling I was turning (in)to some kind of animal
The man you thought I was kept something bad within
You had the time to run away and figure out the beast I've always been
Now close your eyes and take my hand
You're going the wrong way
I'll be gentle enough not to eat your heart, you might need it someday
Run, bitch, run!
You're going the wrong way
Run, bitch, run!
You're going the wrong way
I'll give you all the love you need
I'll even give you air to breathe
You should be smart enough to hear the words I say
You're going the wrong way!
I should have told you sooner I'd like to bathe in your blood
I'll show you the way I found to deal with pain and feel like a god
The words are written on my forehead, and if you look closer you will read something like I love you. And I do, I really fucking do. But things have changed and I'm not the man you once shared your life and bed with. I am a king now. You're just nothing!
The lyrics to Eden Synthetic Corps's song "Wrong Way" depict a transformation in the singer's character, which has led him to become a beastly creature that is no longer the man his partner once knew. The singer confesses that he should have warned his partner about the changes happening to him, but he did not. He reveals that he wished he had subjected himself to some acid chemical, an allusion to self-destruction, because he was afraid of the being he was turning into. The man she believed he was is not who he is now, as he harbors something evil within. The lyrics suggest that his partner had the time to leave and discover who he was becoming yet chose not to.
As the song continues, the singer challenges his partner to face him despite her knowledge of his transformation. He admits his desire to bathe in her blood and his newfound source of power, which he claims makes him feel like a god. The refrain "run, bitch, run" is repeated throughout the song as a warning, urging her to go away before it is too late. Yet, he offers her affection and promises to take care of her needs while also explicitly stating that she is nothing, and he is a king.
The lyrics to Eden Synthetic Corps's song "Wrong Way" are disturbing, thought-provoking, and raise questions about the nature of transformation, human desire, and self-worth. The song fuses techno beats with the harsh tones of a guitar, making it an industrial rock anthem.
