...A Dish Best Served Coldly Lyrics
What makes you think that you have won?
When the battle has only just begun
Let the punishment fit the crime
Bad things come to those in all good time
My mistake was to put you first
Deceitful bubble was so soon to burst
I asked you - believe in just us
Now my faith lie in mine own justice
How many times must I say I'm not sorry?
And how many ways can I show I don't care?
Rotting bodies of enemies
Cannot smell sweet enough to me
What is the price of a friend
Who would carry out revenge?
In this bleak world of absent laws
One in which the just are whores
An honor to die for the truth
Eye for an eye, tooth for tooth
How many times must I say I'm not sorry?
And how many ways can I show I don't care?
When the battle has only just begun
Let the punishment fit the crime
Bad things come to those in all good time
Deceitful bubble was so soon to burst
I asked you - believe in just us
Now my faith lie in mine own justice
And how many ways can I show I don't care?
Cannot smell sweet enough to me
What is the price of a friend
Who would carry out revenge?
One in which the just are whores
An honor to die for the truth
Eye for an eye, tooth for tooth
And how many ways can I show I don't care?

First time listening to this song, actually. Love it.
How can no-one have commented on this. Ah well, i guess it's up to me to start it off. I know that sometimes youshouldn't take songs literally, but this is just up front, 'i hate you' to another person. I think that this is about fighting a war, how brutal it can get and how lost the world becomes when it all happens and for the love of god, someone needs to answer this to tell me where i'm going wrong

I think it is about revenge. About getting back at an Ex that really did you wrong and crushing them.
@MoStylz I agree - I'm pretty sure it's about an ex. BUT could definitely be about revenge on anyone in general, too I suppose!

cheers MoStylz, you are the master
horrible song... very good
One of my favorite Type o songs; a national anthem for self vindication. Not only for cheating lovers; but deceitful friends and traitorous famiy alike. Absolutely brilliant.
to me at least, this song is pretty straight foreward. either extream dislike for someone else, or yelling this song at the mirror works hell, we all have 'multiple personalities'. its not like were not allowed to hate one part of ourselves, we dont have to hate everything about us but i degress, this helps in times of a loved one leaving you for someone else. least it did for me. thanks TON. a negative+negative=positive, least for me
@IZFERNOR I like that - yelling in the mirror. I wouldn't have taken it there, but I listened again and had that in my head and could totally see it!
