Unleashing Inner Fury: Butcher Babies' 'Igniter' Explodes Emotions
Lyrics
Some days I bite my tongue right off
Expressing the struggle of holding back thoughts or words.
This rage is all I know
Indicating that anger defines the speaker's existence.
Saves me from being alone
Suggesting that anger prevents the speaker from feeling alone.
I am an animal wounded by life
Describing the speaker as emotionally wounded by life experiences.
You want me to calm down but you gave me this knife
Highlighting the contradiction of being asked to calm down while being handed a metaphorical weapon.
Now I'm at odds with myself and war with the rest and
Describing an internal conflict within the speaker and external conflict with others.
Now it rips me it fucks me it tears me apart
Expressing the intense emotional impact of the internal and external struggles.
Just one push and I will ignite
Suggesting that a small trigger could lead to an explosive reaction.
This coiled up anger on you
Referring to the accumulated anger directed at someone.
So be my guest
Inviting someone to experience the speaker's anger.
Stand down, it's my game and I say you'll burn out
Asserting control over the situation, predicting the other person's downfall.
Your time is on loan
Suggesting that the other person's time or influence is limited.
Silence your bullshit, your voice I despise
Rejecting the other person's words and expressing strong dislike for their voice.
Don't say another word, you hemorrhage lies
Commanding the person to stop speaking, accusing them of spreading lies.
It rips me

I'm at odds with myself and at war with the rest
Stating the ongoing internal conflict and external war.
It fucks me

It tears me apart

I'm at odds with myself and at war
Continuing to describe the internal conflict and war with others.
I'm an apathetic monster controlled by my TV
Depicting the speaker as emotionally detached and influenced by mass media.
With an itchy trigger finger
Describing a readiness to respond aggressively, influenced by external stimuli.
'Cause this violence consumes me
Expressing the idea that violence is a dominating force in the speaker's life.
