I Hate My Daughter-in-Law on Dr. Phil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna use them.
I'm gonna keep them from you 'til you cry.
I've got machine guns,
I never shoot them,
I only borrowed them in case we die.
I'm freezing and you're leaving me here.
Blue and red up I'm fed, you're upset almost dead, tongue twisted.
35 nightmares and 94 days since I got near you and your anxious ways,
Hey darling, let's steal it,
I'm certain you're sure,
Spell it to me love.
And as we planned there's fireworks, stage right,
They're swallowing the brains of all in sight,
It's 1am, that's the evening your time,
We're counting sheep,
Sell it to me, love.
Leave it while it still smolders,
So I'll have to say I told you,
I carved our names in a tree there,
I meant the letters to be bolder, bolder,
Around the angles there's a race,
Where silver never gets golder,
And baby when we get older,
We don't have to get colder.
In the lyrics of "I Hate My Daughter-in-Law on Dr. Phil's song Part 4," there is a sense of internal turmoil and conflict that the singer is grappling with.

It reflects a sense of emotional withholding and a willingness to use their own issues as a weapon.
The mention of "machine guns, I never shoot them, I only borrowed them in case we die," brings a violent imagery that contrasts with the lack of actual use of the weapons. This could symbolize a readiness for defense or protection that is not necessarily acted upon, hinting at a latent aggression or threat underlying the relationship described in the song.
The references to "late nights, play fights, I'm freezing and you're leaving me here," evoke a sense of isolation and emotional distance between the singer and the subject of the song.

The closing lines of the song hint at a sense of nostalgia and reflection, with the singer reminiscing about memories shared with their partner. The imagery of carving names in a tree and the idea of growing old together convey a sense of enduring love and commitment, despite the challenges and struggles faced. The repetition of "bolder, bolder" and the mention of silver never getting "golder" could symbolize a desire for permanence and stability in the relationship, even as time passes. Overall, the lyrics of the song convey a complex mix of emotions, from resentment and anger to longing and affection, capturing the complexities of a troubled relationship.
