Off My Case
Violation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're getting no where and you think you have the answers to everything, how far are you willing to go, i've had it up to here, don't break your arm patting yourself on the back. save your words it's all you got you know its true and that i'm right.
I'm not buying into this, played that game and now i win, I've seen all that i need to see, i just want you off my case...

Don't ever think of underestimating me, don't try and question, question my ability, count your strikes cause you're near your last,
Get off of my case!
Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Violation's song "Off My Case" seem to be directed towards someone who is constantly trying to assert their dominance or authority over the singer. The opening lines suggest that this person thinks they know everything and are always trying to prove themselves right. However, the singer is fed up with this behavior and wants this person to stop trying to pat themselves on the back so much. They believe that the person's words are empty and they don't actually have much substance to back up their claims. It's clear that the singer has reached their limit and just wants this person to leave them alone.


The next few lines are particularly interesting, as they suggest that the singer has been in this situation before and has already "played that game" and come out victorious. They've seen everything they need to see and they're not interested in engaging in this kind of behavior anymore. They just want this person off their case. This sentiment is reinforced by the final lines, in which the singer warns this person not to underestimate them or question their abilities. The person is on their last strike and needs to get off the singer's case.


Overall, the lyrics of "Off My Case" seem to be a call to stop engaging in petty power struggles and to focus on more important things. The singer is tired of this kind of behavior and just wants to be left alone by someone who thinks they know it all.
