Bitter Bitch
Helen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I don't mind
I've become a bitter bitch
So talk to me, talk to me nice
All my life they kept me humble
Now they mad that I stir some trouble
Saying that "Weren't you once so sweet?"
But I know, nah nah I know
I know what you mad for
I've become a bitter bitch
But I don't mind
I've become a bitter bitch
So talk to me, talk to me nice
Telling me how you miss how I used to be
Back when I met you, you used me
Now I know why you're so upset
Hovering over, over your head
Calling me that and calling me this
But baby get it right I've...
I've become a bitter bitch
But I don't mind
I've become a bitter bitch
So talk to me, talk to me nice
Call me bitter
Mad cause you could never
Call me bitter
Mad cause you could never
Hold it down down down
Hold it down like me
Down down down hold it down like
Down down hold it down down
Down down hold it down down
Down down hold it down down
Down down hold it down down
Down down hold it down down
Down down hold it down down
I've become a bitter bitch
But I don't mind
I've become a bitter bitch
So talk to me, talk to me nice
In "Bitter Bitch" by Helen, the song explores the idea of empowerment and reclaiming power from those who have attempted to put you down. It is a song about owning oneself, despite the judgments and belittlement one may face. The repetition of the phrase "I've become a bitter bitch, but I don't mind" highlights the idea that the singer is aware of the criticism they receive, but refuse to let it bring them down. The phrase "So talk to me, talk to me nice" emphasizes the idea that the singer demands respect and will not tolerate being talked down to, as they have been in the past.
The lyrics also delve into the idea of being underestimated and seen as weak or powerless. The phrase "All my life they kept me humble" suggests that the singer has been put down for far too long and is now fed up with it. The line "Back when I met you, you used me" touches on how the singer has been used and taken advantage of in the past, and is now taking control and holding their own power. The repetition of the phrase "Hold it down like me" emphasizes the idea that the singer knows their worth and will not let anyone try to take that away from them.
