The Worst of Them
Issues Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cut down by the things you say, it's the beating of a broken drum
One of these days you'll push me away, turn around it'll be too late
Your love is addictive, trying hard just to quit it
But you're drowning yourself you won't catch a breath until you admit it
Is anybody out there, I'm dying in a nightmare
You got third degree burns and now it's your turn to feel what I feel
Funny how every time you push me away, you turn around and you beg me to stay
Cut down by the things you say
One of these days you'll push me away, turn around it'll be too late
Your love is a monster, it's eating me alive
Let go of my hand you don't give a damn and it's killing me inside
You show me no mercy, did God make a mistake?
Put a hole in your heart and then you can start to feel what I feel
And if it don't hurt then you know what we got ain't real
Funny how every time you push me away, you turn around and you beg me to stay
One of these days you'll push me away, turn around it'll be too late
The lyrics of Issues' song The Worst of Them speak of a toxic and dysfunctional relationship wherein one person constantly pushes the other person away but then begs them to stay. The singer acknowledges the hurt and pain caused by the things the other person says and likens it to the beating of a broken drum. Despite the repeated push-and-pull dynamic, the singer admits that they are addicted to the other person's love and finds it hard to quit. However, they also recognize that the other person is drowning and won't be able to catch a breath until they admit their own issues. The singer feels alone in their struggle and wonders if there's someone who can understand their nightmare.
The second verse delves deeper into the dynamics of the relationship, with the singer stating that the other person's love is like a monster eating them alive. They feel like the other person doesn't care about them, which is killing them inside. The singer sees no mercy from their partner and questions if God made a mistake by bringing them together. They suggest that the other person needs to experience the same level of hurt by putting a hole in their heart, so they can feel what the singer feels. The chorus is repeated, emphasizing that the other person's actions of pushing the singer away will come back to haunt them eventually.
The song offers a poignant commentary on the complexities and turmoil that can arise from unhealthy relationships. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the pain and frustration when someone is continuously pulled back into a toxic cycle without any clear way out.
