Fist fuck, fist into the wall an' it's painless
Ass suck, I've been livin' the lie that I made me
Dump truck, live it
Butt nut, screamin' into the mic an' I like it
Fist fuck, put it all over the air in thick slices
Ass suck, soak it all up in your head with the anger
Older, elder, I am
Grind on it
Deeper, bleaker, I am
Butt nut, brush the surface off an' grind on it
Fist fuck, brush the surface off an' grind on it
Ass suck, brush the surface off an' grind on it
Dump truck, brush the surface off an' grind on it
Butt nut, brush the surface off an' grind on it
Fist fuck, brush the surface off an' grind on it
Ass suck, brush the surface off an' grind on it
Dump truck
Older, elder, I am
Grind on it
Deeper, bleaker, I am
Butt nut, I've been takin' abuse an' it's senseless
Fist fuck, fist into the wall an' it's painless
Ass suck, I've been livin' the lie that I made me
Dump truck, live it
Butt nut, screamin' into the mic an' I like it
Fist fuck, put it all over the air in thick slices
Ass suck, soak it all up in your head with the anger
Dump truck, like it
Older, elder, I am
Grind on it
Deeper, bleaker, I am
Put a gun in my mouth an' threaten to shoot
Put a gun in my mouth an' threaten to shoot
Put a gun in my mouth an' threaten to shoot
Put a gun in my mouth an' threaten to shoot
Justice died here
The lyrics of "I Am" by Lina appear to reflect a deep internal struggle with feelings of anger, pain and despair. The repeated phrases "Butt nut", "Fist fuck", "Ass suck" and "Dump truck" seem to represent different forms of abuse that the singer has been subjected to, and the subsequent lines suggest a defiant response to these abuses. The lines "screamin' into the mic an' I like it" and "put it all over the air in thick slices" could be seen as an expression of using music as an outlet for these negative emotions. The line "I've been living the lie that I made me" could be seen as an acknowledgement of personal responsibility and the need to change one's own circumstances.
The repeating phrase "Put a gun in my mouth an' threaten to shoot" could be interpreted as a metaphorical way of expressing suicidal thoughts, which seems to underscore the gravity of the emotions expressed throughout the song. The final line, "Justice died here", is a stark and poignant message that could suggest a lack of recourse or resolution for the abuses and struggles that the singer has been grappling with. Overall, "I Am" is a powerful and raw expression of pain and anger, with hints of personal responsibility and a desire for catharsis through music.
