Twin Method Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Broken destroyed all again
Trying not forgiven
Dont't give me false sympathy
Surrounded by nothingness
As I am cut down as I reach for something
Spinning, turning, itching inside
Help me break away
Bring it back, bring it on
Still telling your lies
LIES, LIES, LIES!
Bring it back, bring it on
Still selling this too?
SEX, SEX, SEX!
Down you go!
As I stand in this room
Feel my past is haunting me
Open up my old wounds
I don't care they never heal
Surrounded by emptiness
So take what you can, I can give up nothing
Not enough of it to become all that it could be
Bring it back, bring it on
Still telling your lies
LIES, LIES, LIES!
Bring it back, bring it on
Still selling this too?
SEX, SEX, SEX!
Down you go!
And I wasted open eyes
And was taken by your lies
And I wasted open eyes
And was taken by your lies
I will see, I will fall
Shattered life nothing more than
See what I've done, who I am
Nothing more than you see
Bring it back, bring it on
Still telling your lies
LIES, LIES, LIES!
Bring it back, bring it on
Still selling this too?
SEX, SEX, SEX!
Down you go!
The lyrics to Twin Method's song "Defeated" describes a person who has been broken and destroyed by someone they trusted. They feel surrounded by nothingness and are struggling to forgive the person who hurt them. The person is overcome with a sense of emptiness and is haunted by their past. They feel like they are spinning and turning, and the pain inside of them is itching. The person is pleading for help to break away from the pain they feel. They are frustrated with the false sympathy they have been receiving and want someone to understand their pain.
The chorus of the song repeats "Bring it back, bring it on, still telling your lies, lies, lies!" and "bring it back, bring it on, still selling this too, sex, sex, sex! Down you go!" This could suggest that the person who hurt them is continuing to deceive them or others with lies and false promises, possibly involving sexual relations. The person acknowledges that they have been taken in by these lies before, but they will not allow it to happen again.
The lyrics of "Defeated" provide insight into the pain and struggles of overcoming betrayal and moving on from a broken relationship. The person in the song is fighting to break away from the negative emotions that come with the betrayal and the constant reminders of the hurt they have suffered. The repetition of the chorus throughout the song emphasizes the person's emotions, frustration and their determination to move on.
