Piñata
Montgomery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know what you've done but you keep coming back
Force it on the weak ones who
Keep letting you do what you do
I'm your piñata
Crack me open like you always do
Say you're only bringing the best out of me
You break me, yeah
I don't need a second clue
I know what they want if they keep coming back
I usually know what to do
This time I let him hang me up
I'm your piñata
Crack me open like you always do
Say you're only bringing the best out of me
But you break me, yeah
You break me
I'm your piñata
Crack me open like you always do
I'm your piñata
Crack me open like you always do
But you break me
Yeah you break me
I'm your piñata
Crack me open like you always do
The lyrics of "Piñata" by Montgomery seem to speak about a toxic relationship where one person is aware of the harm the other is causing but still keeps coming back. The singer seems powerless to stop what’s happening, admitting that they’re like a piñata, helpless in the hands of their abuser, waiting to be broken open. The lines “I’m your piñata, crack me open like you always do” refers to the fact that the abuser keeps inflicting pain and damage while claiming to help the singer improve. The singer is aware that they are being used but can't seem to break free from the cycle of abuse they are caught in.
The song is an introspective examination of the emotions one goes through in a toxic relationship. The lyrics are emotive and poignant, as Montgomery describes the helplessness and despair they feel in the hands of their abuser. The use of the piñata metaphor adds weight and the striking image of the singer being broken open like a toy. The song’s lyrics are relatable to anyone who has been through an unhealthy relationship.
