When Tigers Fight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To hate myself so fucking much
It's not a lack of love
This just hurts too much
I won't drag this out
This is my last goodbye
After today this won't hurt anymore
I don't want to live this life - I'm sorry
That breathing doesn't hurt
It's all over now
Will you ever know how much it sucks?
To hate myself so fucking much
It's not a lack of love
This just hurts too much
I won't drag this out
This is my last goodbye
I won't drag this out
I don't want to live
I'm not strong enough
It's all over now
I won't drag this out
I don't want to live
I'm not strong enough
It's all over now
The lyrics of When Tigers Fight's song "I'm Sorry" paint a picture of someone who is tormented by self-hate and is unable to go on pretending that life is okay anymore. The opening lines of the song, "Will you ever know how much it sucks? / To hate myself so fucking much" communicate a deep sense of despair and hopelessness. The person in the song is not lacking in love from others, but rather is hurting too much to continue. The repetition of the line "I won't drag this out" and "this is my last goodbye" convey a sense of finality and resolution, as if the person has made the decision to end their life.
The second verse of the song continues with the theme of unbearable pain: "I'm not strong enough to go pretending / That breathing doesn't hurt." These lines suggest that the person has been putting on a façade, pretending that everything is okay, but now they can no longer continue. The repetition of the line "It's all over now" reinforces the sense of finality, as if the person has made their decision and is ready to proceed with their plan.
The song "I'm Sorry" is a haunting portrayal of the pain and turmoil that can lead someone to contemplate suicide. The lyrics are raw and honest, and the repetition of certain phrases gives the song a sense of urgency and desperation. This song serves as a reminder to treat others with kindness and empathy, as we never know what someone might be going through.
