Mudshovel
Staind Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel the same
You take away
I feel the same
All the promises you made to me
You made in vain
I lost myself inside
'Cause you can't feel my anger
You can't feel my pain
You can't feel my torment
Driving me insane
I can't fight these feelings
They will bring you pain
You can't take away
Make me whole again
I feel betrayed
Stuck in your ways
And you rip me apart with the
Brutal things you say
I can't deal with this shit anymore
I just look away
'Cause you can't feel my anger
You can't feel my pain
You can't feel my torment
Driving me insane
I can't fight these feelings
They bring only pain
You can't take away
Make me whole again
Mudshovel, mudshovel
Mudshovel, mudshovel
Mudshovel, mudshovel
Mudshovel, mudshovel
You take away
I feel the same
All these promises
You promised only pain
If you take away
And leave me with nothing again
'Cause you can't feel my anger
You can't feel my pain
You can't feel my torment
Driving me insane
I can't fight these feelings
They will bring me pain
You can't take away
Make me whole again
You will feel my anger
You will feel my pain
You will feel my torment
Driving you insane
I can't fight these feelings
They will bring you pain
You won't take away
I'll be whole again
Mudshovel, mudshovel

The lyrics to Staind's song Mudshovel are about a person feeling betrayed and hurt in a relationship. The first two lines, "You take away, I feel the same," imply that no matter what the person does or says, they cannot escape the pain that their partner is causing them. The following lines describe how the promises that the partner made were all lies, causing the person to lose themselves and feel trapped in the abusive relationship. The chorus highlights the fact that the partner cannot understand the pain they are causing, and the person feels powerless to fight the feelings. The repetition of the word "Mudshovel" emphasizes the idea that the partner is digging the person deeper into the mud and making it harder for them to escape.
The second verse talks about how the person feels stuck and betrayed in the relationship as their partner rips them apart with brutal words. The person is unable to cope with the situation anymore and just looks away, further highlighting their powerlessness. The chorus repeats the same sentiments about the partner not being able to feel the pain they are causing and the person feeling trapped. Towards the end, the person declares that their partner will feel their anger and pain too, and they will not let their partner take away their wholeness again.
Overall, the lyrics to Mudshovel delve into the destructive nature of relationships, particularly those where one partner is controlling and abusive. The lyrics paint a picture of the helplessness and despair one feels in such situations and the struggle to regain their sense of self.

If you take away
If you should remove from me
And leave me with nothing again
And proceed to give me no consolation or hope
You will feel my anger
I will demonstrate and exhibit my wrath towards you
You will feel my pain
What I am feeling at this moment in time, you will feel as well
I'll be whole again
I will feel whole and like a complete person again
