Anger Sets in
Kritickill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When everything was wonderful and beautiful
We made each other promeses
About our love
How eas you forget
I know I can't win
The anger sets in
And only you
I wish you could have done the same
I feel like I don't know your name
You took everything
And threw it all away
There is no second chance when anger sets in
I caught you before you could lie
You should have seen that look in your eye
You were totally emotionless
As I loaded my gun again
I never though she'd lie to me
Or cheat on me
Or make me look like a fool
I wonder how long I've been blind
Why can't I see
The things she's done to me
In Kritickill's "Anger Sets in," the lyrics describe a relationship that has fallen apart due to broken promises and one partner going back on their commitment to the other. At the beginning of the song, there is a nostalgic tone as the singer reflects on the past and how happy they were when they first met. However, it becomes clear that the relationship has taken a turn for the worse and the other partner has betrayed the trust and love that was once shared between them. This betrayal has resulted in intense anger and hurt for the singer.
The lyrics also express feelings of disillusionment and confusion. The singer had invested all their love and trust in the other person, only to be let down in the end. The line "I feel like I don't know your name" speaks to the feeling of betrayal and realization that the partner was not who they had thought they were. The anger that sets in is a result of this betrayal and the pain that it has caused.
The song takes a darker turn towards the end as the singer reveals that the partner had lied and cheated on them. The line "You were totally emotionless / As I loaded my gun again" is particularly chilling and suggests a violent outcome to the relationship. Overall, the song is a powerful expression of the pain and anger that comes from a relationship gone wrong.
