Spit On Your Grave
Madball Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All you did was strengthen my soul
And what I wanted from you
I could not get
So dreading our deaths is how we
Choose to live
You're the one who feeds my rage
It's in your nature to
Destroy my dreams
It's in my heart to
Damage my means
Because I feed off your fire
Day after day
It's you who I live for until I shit
On your grave
Chorus
So shall it be the last laugh on me ?
When you lay there to rot, I breath
Chorus
The lyrics of Madball's song Spit On Your Grave can be interpreted as a revenge anthem against someone who has caused the singer pain and frustration. The opening lines suggest that the person in question has intentionally tried to block the singer's goals, but instead of achieving that, they have only strengthened the singer's resolve. Despite the singer's best efforts, they could not get what they wanted from this person, leading them to live in constant fear of their deaths. The song then takes a more aggressive turn with the lyrics "You're the one who feeds my rage, you're to blame for endless pain." This suggests that the person in question has caused the singer to harbor negative emotions that they cannot control.
As the song progresses, it becomes apparent that the singer is determined to get revenge on this person, even if it means damaging their own means in the process. The lyrics "It's in your nature to destroy my dreams, it's in my heart to damage my means" suggest that the singer is willing to do whatever it takes to get back at this person, even if it means sabotaging their own progress. The chorus reinforces this idea with the lyrics "It's you who I live for until I shit on your grave," suggesting that the singer's sole purpose in life is to seek revenge on this person.
Overall, the song can be viewed as a commentary on the destructive nature of revenge and the toll it can take on a person's psyche. The lyrics suggest that the singer has become consumed with rage and hatred, leading them to obsess over getting revenge and ultimately causing more harm to themselves in the process.
