| Screaming Females – I'll Make You Sorry Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
This song is a about the aftermath and resurgence of barbiturate addiction. The writer looks forward without hope for love after taking 'max' 'blue bullets' (doses of barbiturates near the lethal dose). The drug, with its poorly understood depressant and hypnotic mechanisms for anxiety relief, at high doses increases 'anger', causing many to appear outwardly to be ungrounded from reality, slurring their speech, and exhibiting physically ineptitude at navigating the world. 'I'll make you sorry', is the drug speaking to the songwriter in the future, as she is unable to find love, build stable 'future structures' in her life, and ultimately, she gives up hope that the 'sand' that meaning is written in won't be washed away. Sadly, like many songs about struggling with the aftermath of drug abuse, the writer looks back at the sinful pleasure of abuse, the surety of absolution in relapse, and the sorrow and hollowness of sobriety after addiction. |
