This World
Unveiling the Heart's Struggle: Suicidal Tendencies' 'This World' Meaning
Lyrics
I serve my heart up on a platter
I openly expose my emotions and vulnerabilities.
The world laughs at me like
The world mocks and disregards me.
I don't even matter
I feel ignored or devalued by the world.
You grab my hand just to squeeze too tight
Someone close hurts me intentionally.
You cause me pain just so
You inflict pain on me to assert dominance or control.
I'll feel your might
You want me to acknowledge your power.
You cast your vengeance so easily
You seek revenge readily, even without direct confrontation.
Again found guilty in absentee
Repeatedly judged and condemned without being present.
So why's it when everybody looks at me
Despite my actions, people judge me for what's hidden.
They always judge me for the
Others criticize me based on unseen aspects of my life.
Things they can't see?
People form opinions without understanding the full picture.
I take your suffering and I
I endure your pain and suffering willingly.
Eat it like dessert
I consume emotional distress like a form of sustenance.
I'm not a masochist I just can't
I'm not a person who enjoys pain, but I can't bear to see you suffer.
Stand to see you hurt
Conflicting emotions between my heart and mind when thinking of you.
But every time I think of you
Despite conflicting emotions, I think of you frequently.
My heart and mind disagree
Internal struggle in reconciling love for you.
You know I'd love you, why won't you love me?
Expressing love, but it's not reciprocated.
The voices in my head keep me up all night
Internal conflicts represented by voices in my head.
Fighting over and over about what's
Constant internal debates about morality.
Wrong and what's right
Many have wronged me, creating inner turmoil.
So many people have done me wrong
The list of wrongdoings becomes too extensive to continue.
I had to stop the list
Various individuals have caused harm, leading to a lengthy list.
'Cause it got too long
Abandoning the enumeration due to its overwhelming length.
You do me wrong yet I still care
Despite mistreatment, I still care about you.
There's not a thing that I won't share
I'm willing to share everything, even in the face of betrayal.
I can't win the fight to prove my love
Struggling to prove my love, but the odds are against me.
'Cause you're a hawk and I'm a dove
Metaphorical comparison of a hawk and a dove in a relationship.
I'd like to show the world my love
Expressing a desire to share love with the world.
I'd like to show the world my love
-I'd like to show the world my love
-But this world don't deserve my love
-I'd like to show the world my love
-I'd like to show the world my love
-I'd like to show the world my love
-But this world don't deserve my love
-This world don't deserve my love
Reiterating that the world is unworthy of receiving love.
This world don't deserve my love
-This world don't deserve my love
-This world don't deserve my love
-This world don't deserve my love
-This world don't deserve my love
-This world don't deserve my love
-So I'll save it all for God up above
-(So I save all for God up above)
Reserving love for a higher power (God) instead.
