Ida Corr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't even think about playing me
You've been cheating, you've been lying
Got me so sad I've been crying
Well I'm tired of being treated like a fool
So if you ain't gonna be my man
A good good man then fuck you ha
You said you could wait and carry me over
I'm mad so mad
You promised me love but forgot to deliver
Always together forever and ever till death do us part
You'll be stuck in my heart
What a load of - Yeah
What a load of
I'm mad so mad
You showed me my heart then stabbed me right in it
I'm mad so mad
You made me believe then changed religion
Always together forever and ever till death do us part
You'll be stuck in my heart
What a load of - Yeah
No matter what you say
It feels like your love has gone astray
Just promise me one thing baby don't beg me to stay
If you're planning on walking away
I'm mad so mad
You said that you love me but wished for another
I'm mad so mad
You caught me with love
But left me with sorrow
Always together forever and ever till death do us part
You'll be stuck in my heart
What a load of - Yeah
(What a load of) Get it together now baby
(What a load of) You promised you'd never betray me
(What a load of) Time again I have settled
(What a load of) Though you made me feel belittled
(What a load of) but now I won't beg for attention
(What a load of) cause I've had my own intervention
(What a load of) I know that I am better than that
(What a load of) So now you can't make me mad
(What a load of)
The lyrics to Ida Corr's song "Mad" are about a woman who is fed up with being lied to and cheated on by her significant other. She addresses him directly, calling him "Mr. Blue Eyes," and asserts that she won't be played any longer. She's tired of being treated like a fool and informs him that if he's not going to be a good man to her, then she doesn't want to be with him. She expresses her anger and disappointment, alleging that he made several promises he didn't keep, including carrying her over, providing her with love, and staying true to her. The woman emphasizes that despite the emotional pain, she won't stay in a relationship where she's not respected.
The line "Always together forever and ever till death do us part" is a common wedding vow that's typically beautiful and romantic, however, in this song, it's treated with sarcasm. The singer remarks that despite the vow, the cheater will always be stuck in her heart, as the vow suggests. She concludes the song with a refrain of "What a load of," suggesting that the emotional investment she made in her relationship was worthless. The singer is frustrated and hurt, but she's ready to move on from her heartbreak.
