Deny Me
Soil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you see me succeed
Is that the gist of your story
Now you had best get used to it
Cause I ain't about to quit
And I'm just now getting started
Shame me, claim me or decieve me
Every time I get one foot up
You want to tear it down
You deny me... deceiver
Every time I get one foot up
You tear it down, knock it down, tear it down
Believer... deny me
I feel your hand on my throat
As well as the knife in my back
And the whole time you keep smiling
What is your reason for this
Why won't your hate just quit
Life would be better if you weren't struggling
(Believer)
What's wrong with your world
Doesn't taste the same as mine
Aren't the shades the same as mine
Pain, agony, regret, fear
Just dreams whisked away, taken away
So now does your pride still bleed
Every time that I succeed
Now that you know that I'll keep trying
Can your weak mind digest
All that I'm feeding it
The lyrics to SOiL's song Deny Me speak to the experience of someone who is trying to succeed and face the challenges of their detractors. The opening lines speak to the feelings of the person singing the song. They are questioning whether the success of others causes a sense of bleeding pride in their detractors. They make it clear that they will not quit, no matter what obstacles stand in their way. The lyrics suggest a sense of struggle between the singer and others who may be holding them back.
In the chorus, the lyrics become more direct. The singer accuses their detractors of denying them success, and of being deceivers. The repeated line, "Every time I get one foot up, you want to tear it down," suggests that the singer feels they are being held back at every turn. Despite this, they continue to believe in themselves and their ability to succeed. The final lines of the verse are an appeal for their detractors to stop hating and to join them in the struggle for success.
The second verse of the song is more confrontational. The singer describes feeling the hand of their detractor on their throat, as well as the knife in their back. They accuse their detractor of smiling while causing harm. The lyrics question the motives behind their detractor's actions, and suggest that their own life would be better if they were not struggling against this person. The singer then turns to address their detractor directly, asking what is wrong with their world, and why they can't let the singer succeed.
Line by Line Meaning
Tell me does your pride bleed
Are you jealous of my success?
When you see me succeed
When you witness my success
Is that the gist of your story
Is that what your motive is?
Now you had best get used to it
You need to accept my success
Cause I ain't about to quit
I'm not going to give up
And I'm just now getting started
I'm only beginning
Shame me, claim me or deceive me
You can either disgrace me, own me, or trick me
You grow sick every time you hear me say believe me
You become ill whenever I say that you can trust me
Every time I get one foot up
Every time I make progress
You want to tear it down
You want to demolish it
You deny me... deceiver
You reject me and trick me
Every time I get one foot up
Every time I make progress
You tear it down, knock it down, tear it down
You damage it in any way possible
Believer... deny me
You are a believer who still denies me
I feel your hand on my throat
I sense your power over me
As well as the knife in my back
As well as the betrayal from you
And the whole time you keep smiling
And yet you still pretend to be friendly
What is your reason for this
Why are you doing this?
Why won't your hate just quit
Why can't you stop hating me
Life would be better if you weren't struggling
You'd be happier if you weren't battling me
(Believer)
(But you're still a believer)
What's wrong with your world
What's happening in your life
Doesn't taste the same as mine
Isn't as enjoyable as mine
Aren't the shades the same as mine
Isn't it similar to my situation
Pain, agony, regret, fear
Suffering, distress, remorse, terror
Just dreams whisked away, taken away
The aspirations that weren't fulfilled
So now does your pride still bleed
Now are you still jealous of my success
Every time that I succeed
Whenever I prosper
Now that you know that I'll keep trying
Now that you know I won't stop pursuing my goals
Can your weak mind digest
Can your feeble mind comprehend
All that I'm feeding it
All the success I'm achieving
