Bitter End
Bitter End Revelations: Love's Decay and the Struggle for Freedom
Lyrics
They say that bearing crosses is a religion in itself
Enduring hardships is like a religious practice, but the burden I carry is detrimental to my well-being.
But honey the strain I'm under, it's ruining my health
The stress I'm experiencing is negatively affecting my health.
When we first met as lovers, we walked together hand in hand
We initially experienced love together, but now our relationship is broken, and I feel very lonely.
But now that bridge of love has shattered, I'm such a lonely man
The once strong foundation of our love has collapsed, leaving me isolated and desolate.
I'm not gonna be your monkey,
I refuse to be manipulated or controlled like a puppet.
I'm not gonna be your fool
I won't allow myself to be deceived or made a fool.
I'm not gonna stand round waiting
I won't passively wait around while you try to appear fashionable or impressive.
While you're out there trying to be cool
I won't stand idly by while you strive to be perceived as cool.
At the bitter end.
Referring to a difficult or unpleasant conclusion, possibly the end of the relationship.
Well you listed all my virtues honey, and you charged a real high price
You acknowledged my positive qualities but demanded a high cost, which I find unfair given the circumstances.
Well given this set of circumstances, I don't think that's nice
Given the situation, your actions seem unjust or unkind.
I'm not gonna be your monkey, I'm not gonna be your clown
I won't allow myself to be a pawn in your game, and I won't play the role of a clown.
I'm not gonna stand round watching as they lower you down
I won't watch passively as you face the consequences of your actions, possibly alluding to a negative outcome.
In the ground
Refers to a grave or unfortunate situation at the end.
At the bitter end.
Reiterating the idea of facing a difficult or unfortunate conclusion.
I'm like a knight in shining armour, honey do I detect some rust?
Despite being a protector or hero, there are signs of wear and tear in the relationship.
I'm moving one step higher, honey tell me, honey tell me, honey you must
Moving towards a higher level, possibly seeking improvement in the relationship.
Well I gave you all my confidence, and you gave me back just lies
I gave you my trust, but you returned it with deception and falsehoods.
I recognise amongst our best friends, most of them are spies
Suspecting that close friends may not be trustworthy and could be spies or deceitful.
With all this poison in the system, love was murdered from the first
The relationship was doomed from the start due to negativity or toxicity.
And though I practiced eastern logic, I just cannot break the curse
Despite attempting to approach the situation logically, breaking free from the curse of the relationship is challenging.
Well I'm not gonna be your monkey,
Reiteration of not being controlled or manipulated like a puppet.
I'm not gonna dance any jig
Refusing to engage in frivolous or insincere activities.
I'm not gonna stand round waiting,
Not willing to wait around while you engage in undesirable or unpleasant actions.
As you're taking your lunch with the pigs
Expressing disapproval of your actions, possibly comparing them to associating with undesirable individuals.
At the Bitter End
Reiterating the theme of facing an unpleasant or unfortunate conclusion.
