Felony
Emmure Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But this pain is mine forever
Living well just wasn't good enough, I wanted my revenge
Blue Moon bottle
Right across your head
I broke your face
And all you did was snitch
I thought you were hard son
I thought that you were Mr. "I don't give a fuck"
Turns out you're the soft one
You've got 12 months so I suggest you get a gun
You should have just accepted that you got your ass kicked
Now you and all your friends are on my shit list
You're gonna die
And I'll be there in court to tell your mother why
She found her son with a knife in his chest
She found her son with a bullet in his head
My bad, I didn't mean to ruin your reputation
I swear the next time you see me
Well let's just say
You won't be so lucky
Say goodbye to all you cared about
See my face and know your death is now

The lyrics describe violent acts towards the person, such as smashing a bottle over their head and breaking their face. Additionally, the singer talks about how the person who they seek revenge on snitched on them, which only adds fuel to their desire for retaliation.

The lyrics also suggest that the person who caused the pain was given a sentence of twelve months, and the singer warns them to get a gun to protect themselves. The singer adds that this person and their friends are on their "shit list" and that they are going to die.

This might be your 2 years ago
This situation might have been yours two years ago
But this pain is mine forever
But the pain it caused is something I'll carry forever
Living well just wasn't good enough, I wanted my revenge
Just being fine after that wasn't enough, I wanted to retaliate
Blue Moon bottle
Using a Blue Moon bottle as a weapon
Right across your head
Hitting you directly on the head with it
I broke your face
I caused severe injury to your face
And all you did was snitch
But instead of accepting the consequences, you told the authorities
You little bitch
Insulting the person for snitching
I thought you were hard son
I believed you were a tough individual
I thought that you were Mr. "I don't give a fuck"
I thought of you as a person who didn't care about anything
Turns out you're the soft one
It turns out you're actually soft and weak
You've got 12 months so I suggest you get a gun
You only have a year to live so you should prepare for your death
You should have just accepted that you got your ass kicked
You should have just taken the beating I gave you and moved on
Now you and all your friends are on my shit list
Now, you and your friends are my enemies
You're gonna die
You will die soon
And I'll be there in court to tell your mother why
And I'll be there in court to let your mother know why you ended up dead
She found her son with a knife in his chest
She found her son dead with a knife plunged into his chest
She found her son with a bullet in his head
Or she found her son dead with a bullet in his head
My bad, I didn't mean to ruin your reputation
Sorry, I didn't intend to harm your public image
I swear the next time you see me
But I promise, the next time we meet
Well let's just say
Things will be different, let's just leave it at that
You won't be so lucky
You won't have any luck the next time
Say goodbye to all you cared about
Say your final goodbyes to everyone you care about
See my face and know your death is now
As you see my face, understand that death is imminent
