Lyrics
So you got one over me,
Feeling disadvantaged by someone
You think I'm trembling at the knees,
Belief that the other person thinks they're intimidated
So full of rage that I can't sleep,
Being consumed by anger, affecting sleep
I cannot wait to bring the heat.
Anticipation and readiness to retaliate
When I'm around be on your toes,
Being cautious and alert in the presence of the other person
Eye for an eye is as it goes,
Reciprocal retaliation, seeking revenge
It's been a long time coming.
Implying a long-standing conflict or grudge
So don't hold me back,
Expressing the need to not be restrained and the building anger towards the adversary
Don't hold me back,
-I feel the red as it rushes through my veins,
-Don't hold me back or I'm gonna snap,
-'Cause I cannot pretend that you are not here,
-And that you are not my enemy,
-Don't hold me back, I'm gonna snap.
-So you got one over me,
Reiteration of feeling disadvantaged
You think I'm full of it? We'll see,
Challenge to the other person's skepticism
When you're speaking through your teeth,
Suggesting parity after conflict, implying equality after suffering
And battered up, consider us even man.
-I feel it's only fair game that I put a cross next to your name,
Claiming a right to retaliate or seek justice
It's been a long time coming to you man.
-You've got it coming to you bad,
Forewarning of impending consequences for the other person
A bit of counter play's only fair game,
-And just a little piece of me goes a long way.
-So don't hold me back,
Reiteration of the need to not be held back and the growing hostility towards the enemy
Don't hold me back,
-I feel the red as it rushes through my veins,
-Don't hold me back or I'm gonna snap,
-'Cause I cannot pretend that you are not here,
-And that you are not my enemy,
-Don't hold me back, I'm gonna snap.
-Lined with piss and ginegar,
Describing a contentious situation
Why don't you just man up and finish what you started,
Encouragement to confront the situation and stand firm
and stand your ground.
-So don't hold me back,
Repetition of the theme of not being restrained and the escalating animosity towards the enemy
Don't hold me back,
-I feel the red as it rushes through my veins,
-Don't hold me back or I'm gonna snap,
-'Cause I cannot pretend that you are not here,
-And that you are not my enemy,
-Don't hold me back, I'm gonna snap.
-Don't hold me back, I'm gonna snap,
Final insistence on not being held back, suggesting imminent explosive action
Don't hold me back, I'm gonna snap,
-Yeah
