Malevolent Lyrics
Maybe I went too far this time
I just go crazy when she says no
Angel turns away pulls her dress back down
Slowly washes her face
Takes the bus to her job downtown
She said, I'm OK, don't worry about me
Now she thinks for herself, hey what just happened to me?
I told him that I thought it was over, I told him that I wanted to leave
He used to touch me so nice when we first met
I never dreamed he would hit me, I never dreamed he would hold me down
She said, don't worry about me, I won't worry about you
I don't want to be friends
She said, I'm OK
Just leave me alone
She said don't worry about me, I won't worry about you
She said, I'm OK, don't worry about me
I don't want to be friends
Just leave me alone
Don't worry about me
This is an amazing song.
Abuse; this song is grogeous both vocally, as well as musically. Simplistic and deep @ the same time Art really did a good job with this one. I've always thought it was about Mia Zapata of the Gits whom Art dedicates the album too in the liner notes.
It's a powerful song, seeing an abusive pairing from both sets of eyes: The masculine, and the urge to continue with sexual advances, and yet stifling them... the feminine, and trying to shrug it off and go about her day as if nothing happened, to appease the social stigma of 'who is at fault' by not saying anything.
