Vomiting her maiden name
Gotham City Heart Attack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

It's my life
I never meant to tear this apart
But you keep on pushing me away
Further from the things I needed the most
You said you cared

I never wanted this life for me, you said you cared
I didn't want it, you never wanted me anyway
I didn't want it, I didn't like it
You said you cared for me
You said you cared

I am independent, I am no longer scared of you, of your shit, of any of this
Scream my name at me
Scream out my heritage
Scream for my sorrows
Forget this face

When I was a child, just a little boy, when I was afraid of the dark
You would push me away
Take me further away,
And you blame me for your mistakes





You never fucking cared

Overall Meaning

These lyrics convey a sense of personal struggle and resentment towards someone who claimed to care but continually pushed the singer away. In the first paragraph, the singer expresses their disappointment in tearing their life apart unintentionally while feeling rejected and distanced from the things they needed the most. Despite their initial care, the person being addressed seems to have pushed them away.


The second paragraph reflects the singer's resistance towards the life that was imposed upon them, asserting that they didn't want it and suggesting the other person never truly wanted them either. There is a sense of dissatisfaction and rejection in their voice, as they state that they didn't like the life they were given and question the care that was supposedly expressed.


In the third paragraph, the singer asserts their independence and lack of fear for the person being addressed and everything associated with them. They express a desire for the other person to acknowledge their identity, heritage, and the sorrows they have experienced, as if to say that these aspects have been overlooked or dismissed in the past. By demanding to be heard and recognized, the singer seeks to break free from the negative influence this person had on their life.


The final paragraph reveals a deeply ingrained resentment towards the person being addressed. The singer reflects on their childhood, specifically how they were pushed away and made to feel afraid of the dark, a symbol for the unknown and uncertainties in life. They hold the other person responsible for their own mistakes and express their final judgment by bluntly stating that this person never truly cared.


Overall, these lyrics depict a narrative of someone who feels betrayed and unvalued by someone who claimed to care for them. They express their frustration, resentment, and desire for independence while seeking validation and understanding for the pain they have endured.
