I'm Not
Venerea Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't believe you
You twist the truth
When you speak
Of my intelligence
You'd better make amends
Take it back
I won't exemplify
The vile lies

I know you told about me
During that time
I thought you were my friend
You and I were inseperable
But now you have become
Totally unacceptable
And I'm still harmless
As a cloud
But I'm not insane
Don't you call me mad
I warn you

I'm not

When we first met
You said you thought
I was the most clever
Guy you know now I don't know
What I've done wrong
What did I do ?
Just 'cause I eat some squirrel meat
Now and again
Doesn't mean that I have
A faulty brain
Don't call me stupid

I'm not

Overall Meaning

In Venerea's song "I'm Not," the singer is expressing their disbelief and disillusionment towards a person who has lied and talked about them behind their back. The singer outright states that they do not trust this person, even going so far as to point out how this person has twisted the truth about their own intelligence. They demand that this person make amends and take back the lies that were told about them.

At first, the singer thought this person was their friend and that they shared a close bond. However, the lies told about them have caused irreparable damage to their relationship, making it "totally unacceptable." Despite this, the singer assures the listener that they are still harmless and not insane, and they warn the person against calling them mad.

The song also touches on the idea of being judged unfairly for something that the singer does, namely eating squirrel meat. The person who lied about them has tried to use this against them, implying that it indicates there is something wrong with their intelligence. The singer refutes this claim, stating that eating squirrel meat does not make them stupid.

I don't believe you
I do not trust you

You twist the truth
You manipulate the facts

When you speak
During your conversations

Of my intelligence
Regarding my mental abilities

You'd better make amends
You need to apologize

Take it back
Retract your statements

I won't exemplify
I will not personify

The vile lies
The malicious untruths

I know you told about me
That I am aware you spread about me

During that time
In the past

I thought you were my friend
I believed you were my comrade
