Scream
Kasey Butler Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Come on, yea)
Oooh oh woah oh woah

Caught me surprise, Can't believe me eyes
When you walked up in the room
I knew I had to have you
And if I had a chance, I'd do more than dance
But for now I'll play it cool
You'll be mine before the night is through

Oh maybe
Maybe we can flirt just a little bit
You gotta work a little bit
'Cause I want you more than a little bit
What I'm thinkin' is

[Chorus:]
Oh, you're makin' me wanna scream
Look what you did to me
I hope you're happy now, you really broke me down
Oh, and I'm thinkin' "What the hell? "
You got me screamin' at myself
But ain't nobody listenin'
Look at what a mess I'm in, ya makin' me

I remember days, Fill my heart with grace
If I ever had to go one day without you
I can't believe it's true now
'Cause all I'm thinkin' about is how you're on my nerves now
Every little thing you do
I can't believe it's gone so wrong so soon

You need to back it up just a little bit,
You're doing way to much, a little bit,
This has got to stop, just a little bit
All I'm thinkin' is

[Chorus]

You make me want to throw a fit
Can't you see I'm tired of it
Everytime you open up your mouth, it almost makes me sick
I'm about to throw a clash
I'm about to kick your ass
Can't believe it's got this way that you've become the guy I love to hate (oh yea, yea-e-yea)

[Chorus x2]

Yea yea yea-e
Woah oh Woah oh oh
Makin' me wanna scream
Look what ya did
Look what ya did
Look what ya to me





Look what you did to me

Overall Meaning

The song "Scream" by Kasey Butler is a catchy yet relatable track that talks about the messed-up emotions that arise in a crazy relationship. The lyrics touch upon the complete spectrum of emotions that a person may feel when they encounter someone that they become attracted to. The song starts with the singer being surprised by the appearance of someone they like and discuss wanting to have them in more ways than one. However, they also want to keep things cool, and they are hoping to win them over by flirting a little till they eventually become theirs.


The chorus is the heart of the song, and it adequately captures the emotional impact of an erratic relationship. The singer sings about how the other person is driving them crazy, making them want to scream, and making them feel like they are going to lose it. They feel completely broken down and the pain of the relationship is unmistakable.


The second verse talks about memory recalling the moments that the pair first met, and how it fills the singer's heart with grace. However, things have gone downhill fast, and every little thing that their love interest does gets on their nerves. They, therefore, plead with them to back up a little bit so they can breathe.


Overall, the song deals with how messy relationships can get and how difficult it can be to extricate oneself. It captures the push and pull of emotions excellently and gives voice to the feelings that can burst out of one's heart when dealing with those overwhelming emotions.

I was pleasantly surprised to see you when you walked into the room. I knew I wanted to be with you, and if given the opportunity, I would do anything for you. But for now, I'll try to hide my feelings and take it slow. I'm confident that by the end of the night, you'll be mine.


Oh maybe Maybe we can flirt just a little bit You gotta work a little bit 'Cause I want you more than a little bit What I'm thinkin' is
Perhaps we can flirt a bit to get things going, but you need to put in some effort too. I really want to be with you, but I don't want to seem too eager. What I'm trying to say is...


Oh, you're makin' me wanna scream Look what you did to me I hope you're happy now, you really broke me down Oh, and I'm thinkin' "What the hell? " You got me screamin' at myself But ain't nobody listenin' Look at what a mess I'm in, ya makin' me
You're driving me crazy with these mixed signals! I'm so confused and frustrated that I just want to scream. You've completely torn me down, and now I'm left wondering what I did wrong. I'm so lost in my own thoughts that nobody seems to notice, and it's making me feel even worse about myself.


I remember days, Fill my heart with grace If I ever had to go one day without you I can't believe it's true now 'Cause all I'm thinkin' about is how you're on my nerves now Every little thing you do I can't believe it's gone so wrong so soon
I used to feel so happy and content before I met you. I never want to be without you now, which is surprising because lately, you've been getting on my nerves. Everything you do seems to be pushing us further apart, and it's happening so quickly.


You need to back it up just a little bit, You're doing way to much, a little bit, This has got to stop, just a little bit All I'm thinkin' is
You're doing too much too soon, and it's overwhelming me. We need to slow things down before it gets out of hand. All I can think about right now is how to get things back on track.


You make me want to throw a fit Can't you see I'm tired of it Everytime you open up your mouth, it almost makes me sick I'm about to throw a clash I'm about to kick your ass Can't believe it's got this way that you've become the guy I love to hate (oh yea, yea-e-yea)
You're driving me to my breaking point - I can't handle this anymore. Every time you speak, it's like nails on a chalkboard. I'm ready to snap and let out all of my pent-up frustration. I can't believe you've become the very person I despise, even though I still have feelings for you.


[Chorus x2] Yea yea yea-e Woah oh Woah oh oh Makin' me wanna scream Look what ya did Look what ya did Look what ya to me
You have pushed me to the brink, and I can't take it anymore. You're making me want to scream at the top of my lungs. Look at what you've done - you've completely broken me down and turned my world upside down.
