Frustrated Reckoning: Skunk Anansie's Anthem
Lyrics
How can your face be so angry
Feeling puzzled by the intensity of your angry expression.
When all you're doing is looking at me
Questioning why your gaze is filled with anger when all I'm doing is being observed by you.
(You) chastise me for my behaviour
Receiving criticism for my actions, anticipating the criticism to be prolonged.
It's gonna last too long
Expecting the negative situation to endure for an extended period.
And what am I now but your reaction
Realizing that I've become merely a reflection of your emotional response.
I'm all those memories you tried to steal
Identifying with the memories you attempted to take away or erase.
This war will never be over
Acknowledging an ongoing conflict or struggle that won't reach resolution.
Gonna last too long
Expecting this prolonged conflict to endure for an extended period.
You're still a fucker
Reaffirming the negative perception of you as someone unpleasant or deceitful.
You're still a fucker
-You're still a fucker
-To me
Emphasizing the personal impact of perceiving you as unpleasant or deceitful.
(You know) Lucifer cried when you looked at me
Highlighting a profound emotional reaction, comparing it to Lucifer's sadness.
And the heavens rained down
Describing a moment when intense emotions are unleashed.
On your acid face
Depicting a negative consequence on your appearance, symbolized by "acid face."
What is left now that it's over
Reflecting on what remains after the intense emotional experience, suggesting it won't last long.
Shouldn't last too long
Anticipating that the aftermath of the emotional experience should be brief.
Repeat chorus
Repeating the chorus, emphasizing the negative perception and emotional impact.
But it's all the same
-It is all the same
-What a life
-But it's all the same
-It is all the same
-What a life
-And I believe I belong nowhere
-Maybe there are winners (but I'm)
-Always used
-Everythings hard to discover
-When it lasts too long
-Repeat chorus
