This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Vengeance piercing through my heart
As I watch you kiss the dirt
And make you swallow your betrayal and sin
Though for now I say farewell
But one day I will return with a smile
As I spit on your grave!
I'm sick...tired of this abuse
I've played the fool for many years
Escape...shelter me from harm
Your lies...pushed me to the edge
I've finally reached my breaking point
Come here...meet your nemisis
Vengeance piercing through my heart
As I watch you kiss the dirt
And make you swallow your betrayal and sin
Though for now I say farewell
But one day I will return with a smile
As I spit on your grave!
Taste this...swift thrust of my blade
It's laced with poison from my veins
Lay there...helpless and afraid
You bleed...I gaze with a grin
A taste of your own medicine
Your tears...please the beast within
Vengeance piercing through my heart
As I watch you kiss the dirt
And make you swallow your betrayal and sin
Though for now I say farewell
But one day I will return with a smile
As I spit on your grave!
Yes, right now I say farewell
But one day I will return with a smile
As I spit on your grave!
As I watch you kiss the dirt
And make you swallow your betrayal and sin
Though for now I say farewell
But one day I will return with a smile
As I spit on your grave!
I'm sick...tired of this abuse
I've played the fool for many years
Escape...shelter me from harm
Your lies...pushed me to the edge
I've finally reached my breaking point
Come here...meet your nemisis
Vengeance piercing through my heart
As I watch you kiss the dirt
And make you swallow your betrayal and sin
Though for now I say farewell
But one day I will return with a smile
As I spit on your grave!
Taste this...swift thrust of my blade
It's laced with poison from my veins
Lay there...helpless and afraid
You bleed...I gaze with a grin
A taste of your own medicine
Your tears...please the beast within
Vengeance piercing through my heart
As I watch you kiss the dirt
And make you swallow your betrayal and sin
Though for now I say farewell
But one day I will return with a smile
As I spit on your grave!
Yes, right now I say farewell
But one day I will return with a smile
As I spit on your grave!

Wow! I absolutly love this song! Very powerful! Aparently the song is about being betrayed and seeking revenge by murdering the judas in question. ("Vengeance piercing through my heart As I watch you kiss the dirt And make you swallow your betrayal and sin") I love how the song emphasizes HATE throughout and how the killer seems unrepentant towards his/her actions. ("Though for now I say farewell But one day I will return with a smile As I spit on your grave!")
ditto. great guitar.
i can almost feel the hate in her words and her glee in taking vengeance upon her enemy!
Adore the song, adore the film [:
I don't know if its intentional, but I see connections with this song to a movie under the same name, I Spit On Your Grave. I haven't seen the movie in full, but I know of it (I know a lot of weird morbid history, thats how I know of this film) and events that occur within it.
The movie is about a young woman who decides to help a male stranger out. She is on her way to her summer getaway when the male stranger returns with his friends and they rape her. The woman then decides to torture and kill all of those who participated in the rape and thats when the movie becomes a gore fest full of ketchupy blood and cheesy 70s death scenes.
The chorous has something to do with the over all goal of the woman in the film, as she watches them get murdered in several ways. The first verse brings up abuse, which rape is a form of abuse.Playing the fool may reffer to her as playing the damsel in distress after such a heinous act is commited. There is later mentiuon of blood, in which I know there is a lot of blood in the film.
I haven't seen the 70s film nor have I seen the remake with its sequels, but if I do happen to watch them, all I will think about is this song as our protagnist goes on her killing spree.
I have a feeling this is tribute to the original 1978 film, I Spit On Your Grave, as there seems to be a lot of abuse and revenge imagery within the song.
