Sad
Tayla Parx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fill up the tub, make a bubble bath for me tonight
The salt in your tears will help my ego sleep, alright
I just made the dinner
That you used to love, but now I cater to my own appetite
And you can't cook for shit, enjoy your Happy Meal tonight
And I know I sound bitter, but I don't care
Cried so many tears, I think that it's only fair, only fair
And I know I shouldn't say this
But I hope you're so fucking sad
Thinkin' 'bout the life that we had
Oh, I know I shouldn't say this
But I hope you're so fucking sad
'Cause honestly (honestly)
I'd rather it's you than me
Now it don't matter, what side of the bed
That I wanna lay my head on today
But I bought the bed
So they both mine anyway
And you never gave me nothin'
Nothin' but bullshit
If stupid was worth a dollar
Then you would be dumb rich
What a hundred acre, self-made millionaire
And I know I sound bitter, but I don't care
'Cause I know something different since I'm not there
Cried so many tears, I think that it's only fair, only fair
And I know I shouldn't say this
But I hope you're so fucking sad
Thinkin' 'bout the life that we had
Oh, I know I shouldn't say this
But I hope you're so fucking sad
'Cause honestly
I'd rather it's you than me
In Tayla Parx's song "Sad," the singer expresses her emotions about a past lover who has hurt her. The lyrics start with the command to "Cry me a river," which is a metaphor for the pain that the singer has experienced. The next line, "Fill up the tub, make a bubble bath for me tonight," is a symbol for the comfort that the singer seeks in order to cope with her pain. When she says "The salt in your tears will help my ego sleep, alright," she is indicating that the tears of her ex-lover make her feel vindicated and assist in easing her hurt.
The following line "I just made the dinner that you used to love, but now I cater to my own appetite" signifies how the singer has moved on from her past and is no longer catering to her ex-lover's preferences. She then insults her ex-lover's cooking abilities: "And you can't cook for shit, enjoy your Happy Meal tonight." The chorus repeats the line "And I know I sound bitter, but I don't care" to indicate the singer's resolve to move beyond her pain. She hopes that her ex-lover is regretful for the life they had together and that they are feeling the same pain that she went through. She would prefer that her ex-lover experience the sadness rather than herself.
Overall, "Sad" showcases the singer's strength and her ability to move on from a hurtful relationship by expressing her true emotions.

You never gave me anything, only problems and lies
If stupid was worth a dollar
If ignorance had any value
Then you would be dumb rich
Then you would be extremely wealthy
