In this powerful track, Hayley Williams delves into the complexities of anger and the struggle for self-control. The lyrics poignantly explore how rage, often perceived as dormant or manageable, can unexpectedly surface, challenging one's ability to maintain composure. Through the recurring motif of "simmer down," Williams emphasizes the necessity of tempering wrath with mercy—a delicate balance between yielding to anger and restraining it. The metaphorical use of "petals for armor" suggests a dual approach to vulnerability and strength, advocating for self-protection through gentleness rather than aggression. 🌸🛡️ This song is a compelling narrative on personal growth and emotional resilience in the face of internal turmoil.
Simmer
Lyrics
Rage is a quiet thing
You think that you've tamed it
But it's just lying in wait
Oh
Rage
Is it in our veins?
Feel it in my face when I least expect it
Give in
Control
There's so many ways to give in
Eyes close
Another way to make it to ten
Oh how to draw the line between wrath and mercy?
Gotta simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer down
Control
There's so many ways to give in
Eyes close
Another way to make it to ten
Oh how to draw the line between wrath and mercy?
Gotta simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer down
If I had seen my reflection
As something more precious
He would've never
Mmm and if my child needed protection
From a fucker like that man
I'd sooner gut him
'Cause nothing cuts like a mother
Give in
Control
There's so many ways to give in
Eyes close
Another way to make it to ten
Oh how to draw the line between wrath and mercy?
Simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer down
Control
There's so many ways to give in
Eyes close
Another way to make it to ten
Oh, how to draw the line between wrath and mercy?
Simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer down
Wrap yourself in petals
Wrap yourself in petals
Wrap yourself in petals for armor
Petals for armor
Give In
Control
There's so many ways to give in
Eyes close
Another way to make it to ten
Oh how to draw the line between wrath and mercy?
Gotta simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer down
Control
There's so many ways to give in
Eyes close
Another way to make it to ten
Oh how to draw the line between wrath and mercy?
Gotta simmer, simmer, simmer
