Rotten Lyrics

UPGRADE


I can't understand
I can't understand you
Rotten
Bleeding
Hoping
Twist your limb
Grow some more
Bleeding as your belly expands
Forgotten
By the spirit wind you know that they're so boring
As Rotten threw the star from his chest
Delicious
Oh I'm sinking fast oh suspicious
As I kneel to the floor
Your space needs exploring
Why'd you put that gun to your head?
Delicious
Oh suspicious

Forget about all the hurt
Cream on all that you can
Forget about all the hate
Forget about all that's Rotten

Orbit
No resistance
As my ego explodes
Crawl through a hole
Given another chance
Naked

Starving to confess that we're all snoring
Why'd you put the gun in my hand?

Suspicious
I'm freaking fast while persistence
As I go through the sound

Curtis blew the stars from his head
Persistence oh I'm sinking fast
Well persistence
As I go through the past

Forget about all the hurt
Cream on all that you can
Forget about what it's worth
Forget about all the hate
Forget about why it hurts
Forget about all the hate
Forget about what you can
Forget about what I sang

Cover art for Rotten lyrics by User

https://www.musixmatch.com/lyrics/User/Rotten The lyrics of "Rotten" by User depicts a complex and somewhat enigmatic storyline that is open to interpretation. It begins with the singer expressing a difficulty in understanding someone - "I can't understand you" - and then goes on with a series of seemingly unrelated and disjointed phrases like "Rotten," "Bleeding," "Hoping," and "Twist your limb," that indicate a sense of despair and confusion. The narrative then moves to an apparent reference to an act of self-destruction - "Why'd you put that gun to your head?" - that hints at the darker and more chaotic nature of the song. The lyrics then take a turn towards a more surreal and mystical tone as the singer mentions "Forgotten by the spirit wind" and "Given another chance" that point towards a theme of rebirth or reincarnation. The reference to Curtis may refer to a famous singer and “Rotten threw the star from his chest” has a strong reference to famous musicians who may have became disillusioned about the game of fame but this can be debated. The song then ends with the singer imploring the listener to forget about the pain and hurt of the past and focus on a brighter and more optimistic future - "Forget about all the hate…Forget about why it hurts…Forget about what you can't…forget about what I sang." Overall, the lyrics of "Rotten" are a complex and introspective attempt to delve into the human psyche and explore themes of hope, despair, and redemption.
