Villains Pt. 1
Emma Blackery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Built to create
Designed to destroy
And I am the quiver in your bones
When you get annoyed
And I am a nightmare
These monsters I hold
And I am the shiver in your lungs
When you're out in the cold
But my body is bored
Of being torn apart
And I've done this to myself
So if you're thinking of stealing the last love I have
Then you're thinking of somebody else
Turn the lights down low
If this is how I go
I'll tell them that the villains on my list
They're what turned me into this
So I'll go
I'm better off alone
Run and tell them that the villains on my list
They're the reason I've been pulled so low
Monster, monster
I feel like such a monster
Tell them I've been saved
But the devil walks amongst ya, mongst ya
I'll be the ghost that haunts ya
You see my demons
But you weren't really supposed to
You got me locked up
But I'm not like you
I'll be my own escape route, you know
I'll get you caught up
Got my attention
I'll make you my victim
Turn the lights down low
If this is how I go
I'll tell them that the villains on my list
They're what turned me into this
So I'll go
I'm better off alone
Run and tell them that the villains on my list
They're the reason I've been pulled so low
If this is how I go
I'll tell them that the villains on my list
They're what turned me into this
So I'll go
I'm better off alone
Run and tell them that the villains on my list
They're the reason I've been pulled
I don't feel anything
Cos I became possessed and obsessed
With the idea of revenge
Where you going now?
Everybody's looking at you
Cos you set yourself on fire
Just to light up the room
Turn the lights down low
If this is how I go
I'll tell them that the villains on my list
They're what turned me into this
So I'll go
I'm better off alone
Run and tell them that the villains on my list
They're the reason I've been pulled so low
If this is how I go
I'll tell them that the villains on my list
They're what turned me into this
Yeah I know
So welcome to the show
Welcome to the show
Welcome to the show

I am a maverick
I am a nonconformist
Built to create
I was made to bring something into existence
Designed to destroy
Intended to cause ruin
And I am the quiver in your bones
I am the fear that makes you tremble
When you get annoyed
When you become irritated
And I am a nightmare
I am a horrifying dream
These monsters I hold
These fears I carry
I'm bringing them home
I'm bringing them back to myself
And I am the shiver in your lungs
I am the feeling of unease in your chest
When you're out in the cold
When you're exposed and vulnerable
But my body is bored
But I am tired of the same thing
Of being torn apart
Of being broken and damaged
And I've done this to myself
And I am responsible for my own destruction
So if you're thinking of stealing the last love I have
So if you're considering taking away my final source of affection
Then you're thinking of somebody else
Then you're considering someone other than me
Turn the lights down low
Dim the lights
If this is how I go
If this is how I perish
I'll tell them that the villains on my list
I'll inform them that the people who have caused harm are the ones I blame
They're what turned me into this
They're the reason I have become like this
So I'll go
So I'll leave
I'm better off alone
I am better off by myself
Run and tell them that the villains on my list
Inform them that the people on my list are the ones to blame
They're the reason I've been pulled so low
They're the cause of my deep distress
Monster, monster
A frightening creature
I feel like such a monster
I feel like a terrifying being
Tell them I've been saved
Inform them that I have been rescued
But the devil walks amongst ya, mongst ya
But an evil presence is present among you
I'll be the ghost that haunts ya
I'll be the spirit that troubles you
You see my demons
You witness my inner struggles
But you weren't really supposed to
But you were not meant to
You got me locked up
You have imprisoned me
But I'm not like you
But I am different from you
I'll be my own escape route, you know
I will find my way out on my own
I'll get you caught up
I'll get you entangled in my ways
Got my attention
Captured my focus
I'll make you my victim
I'll make you suffer the consequences
I don't feel anything
I don't experience any emotions
Cos I became possessed and obsessed
Because I became controlled and fixated
With the idea of revenge
With the notion of seeking payback
Where you going now?
Where are you headed at this moment?
Everybody's looking at you
Everyone is watching you
Cos you set yourself on fire
Because you ignited yourself
Just to light up the room
Just to illuminate the space
Yeah I know
Yes, I am aware
So welcome to the show
Therefore, welcome to the spectacle
Welcome to the show
Welcome to the performance
Welcome to the show
Welcome to the exhibition
