Scapegoat
Breaking Free: Refusing Blame in Honey Revenge's 'Scapegoat'
Lyrics
What do you gain
Questioning the benefit or advantage obtained
From tellin' half the story
Asking about the gain from sharing only part of the truth
We both know I've been here before
Acknowledgment of a previous similar situation
Trying to say I should be the one that's sorry
Implying pressure to apologize despite feeling unfairly blamed
And you won't talk to me anymore
Observation of communication breakdown and lack of dialogue
Never take the fall
Refusal to take blame or responsibility
Put it all on me
Placing blame solely on oneself
Don't miss you at all
Claiming not to miss the other person
Repeating history
Noting the repetition of past patterns or events
Be straight up for a minute
Request for straightforwardness and honesty
Stop dancing around the truth
Desire for directness, avoiding evasive behavior
Cut me off before im finished
Feeling interrupted before completing thoughts
I've got nothing left to lose
Sensation of having nothing more to lose
Not gonna be your scapegoat to use
Refusal to be used as a scapegoat by the other person
Isn't it strange
Commentary on the peculiarity of emotions
The knot inside my stomach
Describing physical discomfort caused by the situation
Went away when you went out the door
Relief felt upon the departure of the other person
Oh, what a shame
Expressing disappointment in the other's inaction
How you're still doing nothing
Questioning if the other feels any regret or guilt
Wonder if you feel any remorse
Never take the fall
Reiteration of refusal to take blame or responsibility
Put it all on me
Continuing to shoulder the blame for the situation
Don't miss you at all
Emphasizing the lack of longing for the other person
Repeating history
Highlighting the repetition of past events or behavior
(x3)
Be straight up for a minute
Reiterating the request for honesty and straightforwardness
Stop dancing around the truth
Repeating the need for avoiding evasiveness
Cut me off before I'm finished
Feeling interrupted before completing thoughts (repeated)
I've got nothing left to lose
Sense of having nothing more to lose (repeated)
Not gonna be your scapegoat to use
Refusal to be used as a scapegoat (repeated)
Can you
Asking if the other person is capable of honesty
Be straight up for a minute
Repeating the request for straightforwardness
(can you be (x3))
Repetition of the question about honesty
Stop dancing around the truth
Reiterating the need to avoid evasiveness
Cut me off before I'm finished (before I'm finished)
Feeling interrupted before completing thoughts (repeated)
I've got nothing left to lose
Sense of having nothing more to lose (repeated)
Not gonna be your scapegoat to use
Refusal to be used as a scapegoat (repeated)
