Stronger Every Day
Split Seven Ways Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’m taking all my anger and gathering it inside.
My violent blood is beating a tattoo in my chest,
I was hopeful, I was foolish, I was always second-best.
I have been hiding away, nursing my shattered heart.
They say two wrongs don’t make a right, but I guess that it’s a start.
I’m killing off that side of me, it never did me good.
Maybe I am just like my dad,
Full of hatred and vile.
They say that true love conquers all,
But I’m not a stupid child.
All the violence tainted me,
Every insult you shout my way.
The names you call me and pain you cause
Make me stronger every day.
I lie and cheat and bleed out and my grudges linger on.
She’s good and she is sweet but I am going to be so strong.
Now that I am so broken, imagine just what I can do.
You think that this’ll kill me; you haven’t got a clue.
I don’t want the kisses of the girls of purer blood,
But I refuse to feel like this; I’m sick and tired of love.
I’m a walking contradiction; you might think that I’m a freak.
But I don’t give a damn, and anyway, I say that you are weak.
Maybe I am just like my dad,
Full of hatred and vile.
They say that true love conquers all,
But I’m not a stupid child.
All the violence tainted me,
Every insult you shout my way.
The names you call me and the pain you cause
Make me stronger every day.
Maybe it’s in my blood,
And I’m sick and terrified,
But I’ll accept my fate with grace
As the good in me dies.
They say that true love conquers all,
But I don’t see it that way.
I’m bitter and I’m losing it,
And I’m stronger every day.
The lyrics in Split Seven Ways' song "Stronger Every Day" delve into a complex mix of emotions. The first stanza appears to be a pushback against bullies who have caused the singer pain in the past. The singer asserts that their tormenters can no longer hurt them, despite their best efforts. They also admit to harboring anger within themselves, perhaps as a coping mechanism for dealing with past traumas. The singer recognizes their own shortcomings, admitting that they have frequently been perceived as "second-best."
The second stanza taunts the bullies even further, as the singer implies that they are now stronger and more resilient than ever before. They acknowledge that they may have picked up some of their father's negative traits, but they refuse to let that define them. The line "I’m sick and tired of love" suggests that past romantic relationships may have contributed to their feelings of anger and bitterness.
The final stanza takes an even more self-destructive turn as the singer acknowledges a kind of fatalism creeping in. They see their own fate as inevitable, and view their own descent into bitterness and hatred as a kind of grace. The last line, "I’m stronger every day," seems to suggest that despite the increasingly dark mindset, the singer is still able to find a kind of perverted strength and resilience.
