The Prizefighters Lyrics
If there is one thing I can't forgive
It's making me feel the weakest, and limp
I should've hit you like I meant it
But I can't hear over those words
I'd knock you for that, and your eye's going black
This kind of hate makes me sick
But I'm onto it, I'm onto it.
My muscles are wasted, a useless red paste of it
Bluing the white in you, slapping your face with it.
My hook softening, as I listen
To the hollow sound that's drumming your ribs
I lose the grip on your neck
When it's over, and you're gone,
I'm sitting and crying.
This kind of hate makes me sick
But I'm onto it, I'm onto it.
My muscles are wasted, a useless red paste of it
Bluing the white in you, slapping your face with it.
What was that meaning, that breaking of skin
Have I proven it, have I proven it?
It's making me feel the weakest, and limp
I should've hit you like I meant it
But I can't hear over those words
I'd knock you for that, and your eye's going black
But I'm onto it, I'm onto it.
My muscles are wasted, a useless red paste of it
Bluing the white in you, slapping your face with it.
To the hollow sound that's drumming your ribs
I lose the grip on your neck
When it's over, and you're gone,
I'm sitting and crying.
But I'm onto it, I'm onto it.
My muscles are wasted, a useless red paste of it
Bluing the white in you, slapping your face with it.
Have I proven it, have I proven it?

It comes across to me as a song about a person who realizes that they are abusive to their son/duaghter/wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend etc. The first verse starts out where the rage is building because of something the other person said. The second verse seems to say that it isn't the first time he has resorted to the act of violence. On the third verse, he realized he went too far and the person he loves either got fed up with it and left or died. And in the last verse, he affirms that there was no point in his reacting that way.
