Cover art for Take It Out On Me lyrics by Bullet for My Valentine

Personally, I find that the lyrics describe a relationship between family members, along the lines of a father-son, daughter-mother, or even father-daughter / mother-son. Many people have anger management problems, and many parents take it out on their kids.

"The world is on your shoulders The weight, it's crushing me Now we're all getting older"

Grown-ups complain about their age a lot, and I know a few of my friend's parents treat their kids like a serious burden.

"I feel so much destruction in everything that you do Anger is creeping in me, watch I don't explode on you My rage it comes so quickly one spark and I will ignite Self-harming mutilation cuts deep but the pain feels so right"

I can personally relate to this, as well. Some messed up family times, let me tell you. Anyways, awesome song, awesome album.

thats how me and my dad are hes really quick to anger, and im only really ever mad or frustrated when he gets out of hand over ridiculous shit, ive had to restrain myself countless times, and im grateful i have that ability becuase regardless of the outcome it would not end well
