Bitch
Sevendust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
to be like you
the pain and suffering
you put me through
I can't imagine
to be like you
the pain and suffering
I can't imagine
to be like you
All the pain and suffering
I go through
You surrounded yourself
with evil
Every nightmare you have
is your equal
(don't hesitate)
You live in your own hell.
(outta my way)
You're surrounded by evil
(don't hesitate)
you can't get away
(outta my way, outta my way)
Dark clouds will follow you
rainy days
will always find you
you can't ever get away
Evil will come
Another day
(don't hesitate)
You live in your own hell.
(outta my way)
You're surrounded by evil
(don't hesitate)
you can't get away
(outta my way, outta my way)
I can't imagine
to be like you
the pain and suffering
you put me through
(repeat)
I can't imagine
to be like you
All the pain and suffering
I go through
You surrounded yourself
with evil
I hope it catched you up
I can't imagine
to be like you
the pain and the suffering
you put me through
I can't imagine
to be like you
the pain and the suffering
you put me through
I can't imagine
to be like you
the pain and the suffering
you put me through
The chorus of Sevendust's "Bitch" speaks to the pain and suffering felt by the singer as a result of the actions of the person they are addressing. The repetition of "I can't imagine to be like you" emphasizes the clear divide between the singer and the person they are addressing, suggesting that the actions of the latter are so abhorrent that the singer cannot even fathom the idea of behaving in the same way. This is reinforced by the description of the person as one who has surrounded themselves with evil, suggesting that they are not just a perpetrator of harmful actions, but actively seek out and align themselves with negative forces.
The bridge, on the other hand, shifts the focus to the future. The use of imagery like "dark clouds" and "rainy days" suggests that the retribution for the person's actions will come in due time, no matter how much they try to escape it. The line "evil will come another day" implies that the harm they have caused will eventually catch up to them, again reinforcing the idea that they cannot escape their own karma.
Overall, the lyrics to "Bitch" paint a vivid picture of a person who has caused immense pain to those around them, a person who is surrounded by negative forces and who will eventually face the consequences for their actions.
