Eat Shit and Die
Margaret Cho Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The first time I saw you I was in love
Like a poison arrow shot from above
I said "I don't know what this let's keep talking"
Our love grew legs and it was walking

Were together now, It's been a while
You lost that brightness it your smile
You say you need to work on you
Well let me suggest what you can do

Oh you can, eat shit and die
Don't ask me why
Your love is a lie
There's no you and I
So you should try
To eat shit and die

Stole my future and you wrecked past
How could I think that this would last
I forgave your faults, I forgave your snore
Forgave your interest in tranny whores
I hung on every word you said
Now my heart is ripped to shreds
I know how to make amends
I am gonna fuck your friends


I put all my dreams on you
So have a bowl of number 2

And you can eat shit and die
Don't ask me why your love is a lie
There's no you and i
So you should try
To eat shit and die

You are the king of turds
Proudly wear the crown
So go ahead and paint the town
Brown

Eat shit and die don't ask me why
Your love is a lie
There's no you and I
So you should try
To eat shit and die




To eat shit and die
To eat shit and di

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Margaret Cho's song "Eat Shit and Die" seem to be quite straightforward in their meaning. The song is about a once-loving relationship that has now turned sour. The first verse recounts how the singer fell in love at first sight with the person that they are now addressing, only to see the relationship deteriorate over time. The chorus is a direct and powerful insult, telling the person to "eat shit and die." The second verse delves deeper into the reasons behind the breakup, such as dishonesty and infidelity, and ends with a darkly humorous threat to "fuck your friends." Finally, the third verse repeats the chorus and concludes with a snarky reference to the person as the "king of turds."


The song's lyrics are clearly meant to be humorous and provocative, poking fun at the melodramatic breakup songs that are so common in popular music. However, there is also an underlying sense of bitterness and hurt that gives the lyrics some emotional weight. The song is an expression of frustration with a relationship that started out promising but ultimately failed, and the insults and threats are a way of lashing out at the person who caused that pain.
