Yellow Belly Lyrics

Cover art for Yellow Belly lyrics by Thrice

it's actually what mercy have they known, from you, from you.

you are less than half a man, yellow belly and crimson hands.

also i remember about a month ago reading or seeing something saying how dustin stated there was a song that had to do something with domestic abuse or something along those lines. i'm pretty sure thats what this song is about.

feel free to debate me but from the corrected lyrics and having listened to the 70 plus times i'm gonna say yeah.

I believe you are absolutely correct. I think this lyric basically removes any doubt: "She's in the closet praying lord please get me outa here but you don't care, you don't, you don't, you don't, you don't"

I dont think 'you' is god due to the mention or the lord in the previous line, therefore it would be the father. At least thats what I think.
