Lyric discussion by MelanieRose 

Cover art for Ricochet lyrics by Faith No More

I was married to a sociopath.

He kept hurting me and everyone around me. Nothing seemed to ever come back around. Karma never happened. I finally left him... He remarried and started abusing his next wife.

"You can laugh at me when it misses you "

The few times I tried to defend myself, it would ricochet back on to me. I take this quite literally. The sociopath won and he haunts me forever.

@MelanieRose I know that feel.

Just know if you're still alive and breathing, you still won that war. Maybe not that one particular battle, but the war.

@MelanieRose I am married to a narcissist. Ricochet hits me in exactly the same way. Even when I am provably right, the accusation is always turned around on me. 'Running twice as fast to stay in the same place' - Trying to stay one step ahead and second guess my every move, for fear of offending/angering her. 'Can't catch my Breath 'til the end of the day' - My only peace is when she is asleep and I can relax.

'It's always funny until someone get's hurt - and then it's just hilarious!' - great Bill Hicks quote, but...
