Black Widow
Mac Lethal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel that sting in my toxic heart
I can't heal that thing cause your claws are sharp
It was nothing to you, when you cut me in two
Left me kicked to the curb feeling ugly and blue
I let these fictions capture me
And it's a lot easier than it has to be
You taste like bitch beer practically
And that's a flavor of my sick sick rhapsody

I'm gonna shoot my dope in the bathroom stall
Try to turn my woes around
I'm gonna stir my whiskey with a nail
I'm gonna guzzle that poison down
I'm gonna spend my rent money at the bar
Because I'm really not all that rich
I'm gonna turn my cell phone off right now
Cause I don't wanna call that bitch

Hook:
I love a girl that don't love me
And I call that girl Black Widow Spider
I need to find me a brand new fix
And bring her back home just to lay beside her
I love a girl that don't love me
And I call that girl Black Widow Spider
I need to find me a brand new fix
Need to bring her back home right now

On the syncopated measure,
I say a little somethin' to alleviate the pressure
Cause everything about you is deviant and clever
You say we need to treat each other better
Uh, are you joking?
I feel like a wounded puppy
Stupid, ugly
You used to love me
but instead of being hurt I'll just think about the time you gave me road-head
Bitch
Tell that dude not to answer your phone when I call you
I'll take a ball bat to his truck
I'd rather just leave you a 45 minute long rant on your answering machine cuz I'm drunk
Plus I can delete it all and re-record it
I wanna thank you for the grief and torment
The ghost in the blanket felt like you
And my bedroom fragrance smells like you

Hook

I'm gonna punch me a hole in the closet door
And try to turn my woes around
I'm gonna stir my brandy with a nail
I'm gonna guzzle that poison down
I'm gonna work things out on the telephone
Call one time only, that's it
I'm gonna break my telephone on the ground
So I don't drunk dial that bitch

There's a black raincloud floatin in my head
I always lose at the game of love
I gotta cleanse this nightmare out my system
Somebody wake me up
I'm gonna pop me a pill, gonna die for the girl that'll let me die for her
Cause my ex girl wanna ask me why I feel so strongly like I'm sure
C'mon

Line by Line Meaning

I feel that sting in my toxic heart
I am deeply hurt and affected by the toxic emotions within me


I can't heal that thing cause your claws are sharp
I am unable to recover from the pain caused by your hurtful actions


It was nothing to you, when you cut me in two
You didn't care about the significant damage you caused when you betrayed me


Left me kicked to the curb feeling ugly and blue
You abandoned me, leaving me feeling rejected, unattractive, and depressed


I let these fictions capture me
I allowed myself to be consumed by false narratives and illusions


And it's a lot easier than it has to be
Indulging in these illusions is a simpler escape than facing reality


You taste like bitch beer practically
Your essence resembles a weak, contemptible drink


And that's a flavor of my sick sick rhapsody
This unsavory taste embodies the twisted melody of my disturbed state


I'm gonna shoot my dope in the bathroom stall
I will resort to using drugs in the seclusion of a public restroom


Try to turn my woes around
I hope to reverse my hardships and find some relief


I'm gonna stir my whiskey with a nail
I will mix my whiskey with a dangerous object like a nail


I'm gonna guzzle that poison down
I will quickly consume this lethal substance

And bring her back home just to lay beside her
I desire to bring this new person into my life and spend intimate moments with them


On the syncopated measure
In a fluctuating rhythm and arrangement


I say a little somethin' to alleviate the pressure
I express a few words to relieve the emotional burden I'm carrying


Cause everything about you is deviant and clever
Every aspect of your character is deceitful and cunning

I feel like a wounded puppy
I am emotionally wounded and vulnerable like an injured puppy


Stupid, ugly
I feel foolish and unattractive


You used to love me

but instead of being hurt I'll just think about the time you gave me road-head
Instead of feeling pain, I will reminisce about the intimate act you performed on me


Bitch
A derogatory term used to display anger and hostility towards you


Tell that dude not to answer your phone when I call you
Instruct that person not to pick up your phone when I try to reach out


I'll take a ball bat to his truck
I will violently damage his vehicle with a baseball bat


I'd rather just leave you a 45 minute long rant on your answering machine cuz I'm drunk
I prefer to leave you a lengthy, intoxicated rant on your voicemail instead


Plus I can delete it all and re-record it
I have the ability to erase the message and record a new one


I wanna thank you for the grief and torment
I sarcastically express my gratitude for the pain and suffering you've caused me


The ghost in the blanket felt like you
The presence that haunts me is reminiscent of you


And my bedroom fragrance smells like you
The scent in my room reminds me of you


I'm gonna punch me a hole in the closet door
I will physically vent my anger by creating a hole in the closet door


And try to turn my woes around
I will attempt to reverse my troubles and find some relief


I'm gonna stir my brandy with a nail
I will mix my brandy with a dangerous object like a nail


I'm gonna guzzle that poison down
I will consume that toxic substance quickly and recklessly


I'm gonna work things out on the telephone
I will communicate and resolve issues through phone calls


Call one time only, that's it
I will make just one phone call and nothing more


I'm gonna break my telephone on the ground
I will throw and shatter my phone on the floor


So I don't drunk dial that bitch
To prevent myself from impulsively calling that person while intoxicated


There's a black raincloud floatin in my head
I am plagued by a metaphorical dark cloud of negativity and sadness


I always lose at the game of love
I consistently experience defeat and heartbreak in matters of romantic relationships


I gotta cleanse this nightmare out my system
I need to rid myself of this tormenting and distressing experience


Somebody wake me up
I yearn for someone to snap me out of this painful reality


I'm gonna pop me a pill, gonna die for the girl that'll let me die for her
I will take a pill and risk my life for a girl who would allow me to sacrifice myself for her


Cause my ex girl wanna ask me why I feel so strongly like I'm sure
My former girlfriend questions why I have such intense and unwavering emotions


C'mon

I feel that sting in my toxic heart
I can't heal that thing cause your claws are sharp
It was nothing to you, when you cut me in two
Left me kicked to the curb feeling ugly and blue
I let these vixens capture me
And it's a lot easier than it has to be
You taste like dip spit practically
And that's a flavor of my sick sick rhapsody

I'm gonna shoot my dope in the bathroom stall
Try to turn my woes around
I'm gonna stir my brandy with a nail
I'm gonna guzzle that poison down
I'm gonna spend my rent money at the bar
Because I'm really not all that rich
I'm gonna turn my cell phone off right now
Cause I don't wanna call that bitch

[Hook:]
I love a girl that don't love me
And I call that girl Black Widow Spider
I need to find me a brand new vixen
And bring her back home just to lay beside her
I love a girl that don't love me
And I call that girl Black Widow Spider
I need to find me a brand new vixen
Need to bring her back home right now

On the syncopated measure,
I say a little somethin' to alleviate the pressure
Cause everything about you is deviant and clever
You say we need to treat each other better
You must be joking
I feel like a wounded puppy
Stupid, ugly
You used to love me
but instead of being hurt I'll just think about the time you gave me road-head on my birthday
Tell that dude not to answer your phone when I call you
I'll take a ball bat to his truck
I'd rather just leave you a 45 minute long rant on your answering machine cause I'm drunk
Plus I can delete it all and re-record it
I wanna thank you for the grief and torment
The ghost in the blanket felt like you
And my bedroom fragrance smells like spew

[Hook]

I'm gonna punch me a hole in the closet door
And try to turn my woes around
I'm gonna stir my brandy with a nail
I'm gonna guzzle that poison down
I'm gonna work things out on the telephone
Call one time only, that's it
I'm gonna break my telephone on the ground
So I don't drunk dial that bitch

There's a black raincloud floatin in my head
I always lose at the game of love
I gotta cleanse this nightmare out my system
Somebody wake me up
I'm gonna pop me a pill, gonna die for the girl that'll let me die for her
Cause my ex girl wanna ask me why I feel so strongly like I'm sure
C'mon
