Sister Shotgun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Breathe in. Choke out. All of the venom inside me.
These hollow eyes they burn with a fire. The girl that's inside has grown into a fighter. She's black and she's blue but she's stronger than ever
And you would do well to stand back and remember I danced with the devil I burned from the inside but just like the Phoenix i rose after I died they tried take all of my honour and pride but they'll never kill the Inferno inside
You can take my heart but you won't break my soul I will not bow down to you
These arms were meant to hold I'll cut free from this noose got nothing left to lose
Destroyed. Messed up. Barely holding together.
Falling. Further. With every breath that I'm taking
Now I'm bullet proof and nothing can touch me
I'm walking away unharmed and untrusting
No longer your game and you can't control me
Again and again I come back just you watch me.
These lyrics describe a person who has been through a lot of pain and suffering, but has emerged on the other side as a fighter. The singer is feeling weighed down by the world and suffocating from the venom inside of them. However, they have grown stronger and are not easily defeated. The singer has danced with the devil and burned from the inside, but has risen from the ashes like a phoenix. They have faced attempts to humiliate and destroy them, but their spirit is unbroken.
The second half of the song sees the singer taking control of their own life. They refuse to be controlled or manipulated any longer. Instead, they are ready to cut free from the ties that once held them back. They are bulletproof, in the sense that they are no longer easily hurt or defeated. The singer is walking away unscathed and untrusted, but they are not alone. They know that they have the power and strength to come back again and again.
Overall, this song is about empowerment and strength. It is about the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. The singer has been through a lot, but they have not been defeated. Instead, they have emerged stronger and more powerful than ever before.
