Smashing The Opponent
Infected Mushroom Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Smack me again
And I can't believe it's true
Smashing the opponent
Was not my intention to do
Nether did you
Foresee such an outcome
To this unnecessary ending
I wish I could retrace all my steps
And erase my mistakes
With you

x2

I wanted to say
You shouldn't suffer this way
I wanted to say
I hope I can take it away

Tempt me again and I will forget the truth
Backing your decision
Was something I neglected to do
Even for you
If you feel rage… To strike me with revenge
I will be standing right here
Waiting without fear
For you

x6

I wanted to say
You shouldn't suffer this way




I wanted to say
I hope I can take it away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Infected Mushroom's "Smashing The Opponent" explore the theme of regret over the consequences of one's actions. The first verse talks about someone getting smacked and not being able to believe it's happening, and how they never intended to "smash the opponent." The word "opponent" seems to be metaphorical here for either a physical opponent or something more abstract like a life circumstance or a painful emotion. The singer and the opponent didn't foresee that things would end up the way they did, with unnecessary suffering and regret. The singer wishes they could go back and undo their mistakes.


In the second verse, the lyrics shift to the second person, addressing the opponent directly. The singer acknowledges that they should not be made to suffer, and regrets not doing something to back up the opponent's decision. The line "Tempt me again and I will forget the truth" suggests that there may have been some temptation or distraction involved that led to the situation. The chorus repeats the singer's desire to take away the opponent's suffering, and implies that the singer is willing to face the opponent's anger and revenge without fear.

@@robertbarnes124 thank you

@balob

i don't care that their style has changed, because I know their live shows are still going to be insane like they've always been

@JC-xq1wg

They change the style every album and sometimes inside of the same album so I don´t see how can that be a problem for any fan

@MultiHotFlash

Remind me in a few years.

@TheAlison1456

has it? fourteen years ago?
to me it was noticeably different five years ago.

@joshualawlis3078

Just seen them live 14years after this comment and the show was awesome. Was like a metal show and a rave together!

@balob

@@joshualawlis3078 omg that was 14 years ago for me now. I stopped going when it got really dubsteppy. I hate dubstep in general so, couldnt stand it. Glad to hear you enjoyed the new show.
