In this powerful exploration of inner turmoil, the lyrics convey a struggle with guilt, anger, and self-destructive tendencies. The narrator invites punishment for the pain they've caused, expressing a belief in their own culpability and unworthiness. Throughout the song, the juxtaposition of vulnerability and defiance is evident, as they acknowledge their flaws and destructive behavior while still feeling trapped in an endless cycle of resentment and regret. The aggressive plea for confrontation suggests an overwhelming desire for retribution, perhaps as a means of redemption or relief from internal conflict. Despite recognizing their toxic patterns and the emotional damage inflicted on others, the narrator hints at the possibility of change, yet remains unsure if transformation will occur before it's too late. The song ultimately captures the complexities of self-awareness amid personal chaos and the challenge of breaking free from detrimental habits.
Resentment
Lyrics
Take a swing at me
Give into madness
Strengthens
Toxic
Symptoms of a wounded fractured failure
Beating us both
But now it's plain to see
That you have seen beneath me
Witnessed my frailty as I plead
While still, I do as I please
Outlast my welcome
Destroy your kindness
Don't deny this violence you're hiding
So take a swing at me
For every fucking thing I've done to you
So take a swing at me
The simple truth is I deserve to lose
So take a swing at me
Kill me
Don't let me be of use
So take a swing at me
Tossing and turning
My mind grapples with love
To the point of loathsome anger
Seldom checked by anyone
Overrun with malfunction because I run from
Problems
Mistakes
Heartaches 'til I erupt
Give in
Which lead me to you
And I'll burn that bridge too
Don't deny this resentment inside
So take a swing at me
For every fucking thing I put you through
So take a swing at me
The simple truth is I deserve to lose
So take a swing at me
Kill me
Don't let me be of use
So take a swing at me
Swing at me
Swing at me
Look at me
Take it out on me
Madness
Strengthens
Toxic
Symptoms of a wounded
Fractured
Failure
Beating us both
But I still make my choices that I make, you know?
I just hope at some point in time
I decide to do something different and it's not too late
