Bitter
Embracing Life's Symphony: Overcoming Bitterness with Atmosphere
Lyrics
Everything used to be so good then
Reflecting on a time when everything was good.
Now it seems like you're mad at my footprints
Feeling criticized or judged for past actions.
I'm only trying to scribble in the book, man
Expressing creative efforts despite criticism.
It's not my fault that y'all couldn't
Denying responsibility for others' difficulties.
You must have a lot of free time
Suggesting the person has excessive free time.
Otherwise why are you trying to see mine
Questioning the person's interest in personal affairs.
Strain your neck, let the blame project
Encouraging blaming others instead of self-reflection.
But don't give yourself the same respect
Highlighting the lack of self-respect in blaming.
So independent but undependable
Criticizing inconsistency in independence.
We're all getting old, now take a mental note
Reflecting on aging and encouraging awareness.
And stop being so covetous
Advising against excessive desire for others' possessions.
The crime is the punishment
Emphasizing that wrongdoing itself is a punishment.
Now run and get a slither of dignity
Encouraging the regaining of self-respect.
You ain't gotta be a figure of misery
Rejecting being a source of misery for others.
You don't want to be a victim to victory
Encouraging resilience and not becoming a victim.
Listening to a bitter sweet symphony
Referencing mixed emotions in life's experiences.
You're so bitter
Repetition of chorus and verses with similar themes.
You're cold as a river in the winter
-This one is to recognize you
-Your jealousy needs an anthem too
-You're so bitter
-You're cold as a river in the winter
-This one is to recognize you
-And all of these dreams that can't come true
-We used to get up in Uptown
-Then we hit the highway to run around
-Came home everybody wanna judge now
-Don't let them see you celebrate your touchdown
-Keep clutching those grudges
-Don't budge if no budget
-The old puppets show love in public
-But behind the back can't trust it
-Disgusted, repugnant
-Insulted, repulsive
-Discouraged, rejection
-No protection from your own reflection
-Chip on your shoulder big as a boulder
-Insecurities a slippery slope
-Got ya looking around for the sympathy vote
-Anything to give a little glimmer of hope
-You're so bitter
-You're cold as a river in the winter
-This one is to recognize you
-Your jealousy needs an anthem too
-You're so bitter
-You're cold as a river in the winter
-This one is to recognize you
-And all of these dreams that can't come true
-Treat love like a limited resource
-Fight for it like there's never gonna be more
-On the rooftops talk to the spaceships
-Like you've got 2Pac locked in the basement
-Get the bag, make the get away exit
-You get mad like your middle name desperate
-No net, better not get left back
-Yeah, you should probably protect that
-I'm trying to keep it simple, teeth to the nipple
-Beat my chisel, leave my initials
-Fly so far when you follow the signals
-Sky full of stars and all of them wishful
-Not only are we bitter but we're brittle
-The world's getting small, and everybody's little
-Go roll your eyeballs, toot your own whistle
-Don't ever stop waiting for the window
-You're so bitter
-You're cold as a river in the winter
-This one is to recognize you
-Your jealousy needs an anthem too
-You're so bitter
-You're cold as a river in the winter
-This one is to recognize you
-And all of these dreams that can't come true
-Ooh ooh ooh ooh
-Ooh ooh ooh ooh
-Ooh
-Ooh ooh ooh ooh
-
