Lyrics

Is nothing sacred?

Questioning the existence of anything considered sacred or untouchable.


Don't play innocent

Admonishing someone for pretending to be innocent.

You've always been

Implying the person has consistently behaved in a certain way.

The only god you believe in

Highlighting the individual's self-reliance or belief in their own authority.

And you've always had

Asserting the person's historical advantage or power.

The upper hand

Emphasizing their tendency to betray trust.

Stab me in the back

Metaphorically portraying betrayal.

Just to have the final laugh

Inflicting harm for personal amusement or satisfaction.


Is nothing sacred no more? (No more)

Reiterating the initial query about sanctity, expressing disbelief or disillusionment.

Cheap shots to even up the score (The score)

Referencing retaliatory actions to balance an injustice.

A benediction to bend until we break

Describing a blessing used until it causes harm or destruction.

Is nothing sacred no more? (No more, no more)

Re-emphasizing the disbelief or shock about the loss of sacredness.


Baby two can play

Asserting equality in actions or reactions.

I'm not a saint

Rejecting claims of moral superiority or exceptionalism.

Never said I'm the bigger woman

Denying the position of being more mature or morally upright.

Wish that I could blame you

Expressing a desire to shift blame but acknowledging personal flaws.

But I’m inhumane too

Acknowledging one's own inhumanity or imperfections.

Wind you up again just to watch you dance

Manipulating someone for amusement or personal satisfaction.


Is nothing sacred no more? (No more)

Repeating the disbelief or shock about the erosion of sanctity.

Cheap shots to even up the score (The score)

Referring again to balancing unfair actions.

A benediction to bend until we break

Reinforcing the concept of a blessing turning harmful when stretched too far.

Is nothing sacred no more? (No more, no more)

Re-emphasizing the disbelief or shock about the loss of sacredness.


Pull the trigger, pull the trigger

Metaphorically suggesting causing irreversible damage or consequences.

Roses bloom until they wither, till they wither

Highlighting the fleeting nature of beauty or goodness.

Sink a nail in the coffin, in the coffin

Metaphorically emphasizing making a situation irreparable.

Tell me, do you come here often?

Questioning someone's habitual behavior or intentions.


Is nothing sacred no more? (Is nothing sacred?)

Reiterating disbelief or questioning the existence of anything sacred.

Cheap shots to even up the score (The score)

Referencing retaliatory actions to balance an injustice.

A benediction to bend until we break

Emphasizing the potential harm caused by an overextended blessing or practice.

Is nothing sacred no more? (No more, no more)

Re-emphasizing the disbelief or shock about the loss of sacredness.
