LimonCello Fellow: Unveiling the Weight of Words
Lyrics
Thinking all day of what you put me through
Reflecting on the emotional impact of the experiences imposed by the person addressed.
All the things you say and your point of view
Contemplating the words spoken and the perspective presented by the other person.
Makes you feel better to throw shade my way
Expressing that the act of criticizing or insulting the speaker brings satisfaction to the other person.
It's your world and my welcome's overstayed
Acknowledging that the speaker feels unwelcome in the world created by the other person.
Hate me, blame me
Enduring hatred and blame despite the initial intention of being supportive.
All I wanted was to be here for you
Desiring to be present and supportive for the other person despite the negativity.
Beat me, dog me
Subjected to physical and emotional abuse despite the initial intention of providing support.
All I wanted was to be there for you
Expressing the original desire to be there emotionally for the other person.
Now I carry the weight, the weight of your words
Bearing the emotional burden of the hurtful words spoken by the other person.
I am the man in black with your crosshairs on his back
Identifying with the metaphorical "man in black" under constant scrutiny and criticism.
Truth be told you've been bought and sold
Asserting that the other person has compromised their integrity, succumbing to external influences.
Your myths unfold and it's getting kind of old
Pointing out the unraveling of false narratives and expressing weariness with the deception.
Not your punching bag keep yapping outta line
Rejecting the role of being a passive recipient of verbal attacks and maintaining personal boundaries.
You aim at nothing and you hit it every time
Highlighting the futility of the other person's actions, consistently missing the intended target.
Hate me, blame me
Enduring hatred and blame persistently while still desiring to be supportive.
All I wanted was to be here for you
Expressing the ongoing desire to be present and supportive despite adversity.
Beat me, dog me
Subjected to physical and emotional abuse, reiterating the initial intention of providing support.
All I wanted was to be there for you
Reaffirming the original intent to be emotionally available for the other person.
Now I carry the weight, the weight of your words
Bearing the heavy emotional burden caused by the hurtful words spoken.
I am the man in black with your crosshairs on his back
Emphasizing the identification with the metaphorical "man in black" targeted by criticism.
Now I carry the weight, the weight of your words
Repeating the acknowledgment of carrying the weight of the negative words.
I am the man in black with your crosshairs on his back
Reiterating the association with the "man in black" and the crosshairs of criticism.
Someone's... someone's
Indicating the need for someone to assume the role of the antagonist or the "bad guy."
Someone's got to be... got to be
Stressing the necessity for someone to fulfill the role of the antagonist.
Someone's... someone's
Repeating the call for someone to be the designated "bad guy" in the situation.
Someone's got to be the bad guy
Affirming the need for someone to take on the negative role in the relationship dynamic.
