The Bottom Lyrics

Cover art for The Bottom lyrics by Sick Puppies

i think this song talks about anger and how could it make people go mad, and talks to a person that (maybe) will be an accomplice in some wicked plan to quench the protagonist's thirst for revenge

  • "Come get gotten, reelin' and rotten beneath" it's a metaphor: "reeling" means getting unstraight to the point about who did it (the wicked plan), "rotten" means corrupted/insane

  • "You'll be smilin' before you know" cause fucking enemies is enjoyable

  • "We're all rotten..." WE, the protagonist is insane so maybe it has multiple personality disorder, or "pretends" to be two people or more

  • "You really can't be lookin' so surprised" believing in the possibility that seeks the protagonist guilty is not so crazy

  • "It really is a wicked way to die" the protagonist will die hated

  • "Doesn't it seem to resound like an old memory" the "sweet melody" is the person who the protagonist was before twisting its mind

  • "Screamin' and cryin' we'll have none of that" the protagonist is mercyless

  • "You had your chance now just sit and relax" keeping your mind cold, you ease all

  • "If you can't beat them, might as well eat them" feeding your longing for revenge is preferable than giving somebody a beating, "eat" means to feed it

  • "No ones getting out alive" too many people will be fucked

  • "They're all just so pathetic, It's all psycosomatic" conspiring you can create paranoia in some people, people will answer... "who?"

  • "The more they think the more we know" you can see their paranoia, you are the master (with power) and they are lambs (with doubts,and madness)

  • "So welcome home" the protagonist offers a chance to quench its thirst for revenge too, and welcomes the accomplice
