GASOLINE

Share:

Swimming through your fumes
It's a headache
Begged you to stop
But you won't hit the brakes
I'm alive
And I'm pissed
And I'm lonely
I want back all that sh*t that you

Owe me
Break me down
If I can't be the thing that you wanted
Sell me out
Let me rust, let me bleed, I deserve it
I won't
I won't
I won't
Drink gasoline
There's fire
In my veins
Breathing in the enemy
So drink
Your Gasoline
Destiny don't matter
Not when I'm around
When the methane swells up
You won't make a sound
Break me down
You can try all you want but your luck's run out
I won't
Drink gasoline
There's fire
In my veins
Breathing in the enemy
So drink
Your gasoline
Breathing in the enemy
So drink
Your Gasoline
You'll never pray for me
Like it mattered anyway
You'd never bleed for me
Like it mattered anyway

You'll say I just got in your way
I won't drink your gasoline

The lyrics of "Gasoline" by Make Your Mark convey a strong sense of frustration, anger, and defiance towards someone who has caused the singer pain and betrayal. The opening lines, "Swimming through your fumes, it's a headache," symbolize the suffocating and toxic environment created by this person. The singer pleads for them to stop, but they refuse to hit the brakes, suggesting a lack of empathy or remorse.

The lyrics "I'm alive, and I'm pissed, and I'm lonely" depict the emotional state of the singer, who still feels the effects of the pain caused by this person. The line "I want back all that sh*t that you owe me" expresses a desire for restitution, for the person to take responsibility for their actions and make amends.

The chorus, "Break me down, if I can't be the thing that you wanted, sell me out, let me rust, let me bleed, I deserve it," reflects the singer's resistance to conforming to someone else's expectations. Rather than allowing themselves to be broken down by the other person's actions, they would rather face the consequences and remain true to themselves. This refusal to "drink gasoline" signifies their refusal to be consumed by the negativity and toxicity of the situation.

The lyrics alluding to fire in their veins and breathing in the enemy represent the singer's determination and strength in the face of adversity. They refuse to be silenced and demand to be heard, even if it means confronting the person who has wronged them. The lines "Destiny don't matter, not when I'm around" suggest that the singer's presence and actions have the power to challenge and overcome any negative influences.

The concluding lines of the song, "You'll never pray for me like it mattered anyway, you'd never bleed for me like it mattered anyway... I won't drink your gasoline," convey the singer's realization that this person never truly valued or cared for them. Despite any attempts to dismiss the singer and blame them for their own problems, the singer remains steadfast in their refusal to be controlled or influenced by the other person's negativity.

Swimming through your fumes
Immersed in the toxic aftermath of our relationship

It's a headache
This situation is causing me pain and distress

Begged you to stop
I pleaded with you to cease your destructive behavior

But you won't hit the brakes
You refuse to change or show any remorse

I'm alive
Despite it all, I'm still breathing and standing strong

And I'm pissed
I'm furious and filled with anger

And I'm lonely
Even in the midst of a crowded world, I feel alone

I want back all that sh*t that you owe me
I demand the restitution of everything you've taken from me

Break me down
Attempt to dismantle my spirit

If I can't be the thing that you wanted
If I can't fulfill your unrealistic expectations

Sell me out
Betray me and expose my vulnerabilities

Let me rust, let me bleed, I deserve it
Allow me to deteriorate and suffer, as if I deserve punishment

I won't
I refuse

Drink gasoline
Engage in self-destructive behaviors like you do

There's fire in my veins
I possess a burning passion and intensity

Breathing in the enemy
Taking in the toxicity and harm caused by those around me

So drink your Gasoline
Continue to embrace your destructive nature

Destiny don't matter
Fate and predetermined outcomes hold no importance

Not when I'm around
Because I have the power to challenge and overcome destiny

When the methane swells up
When anger and resentment reach their peak

You won't make a sound
You'll be silenced and unable to defend yourself

You can try all you want but your luck's run out
No matter how hard you try, your fortune has turned against you

You'll never pray for me
You'll never have genuine concern or care for me

Like it mattered anyway
As if your prayers or actions would have made a difference

You'd never bleed for me
You would never sacrifice or suffer for my sake

Like it mattered anyway
As if your bleeding or empathy would have made a difference

You'll say I just got in your way
You'll claim that I obstructed your path or hindered your progress

I won't drink your gasoline
I refuse to engage in your destructive behaviors
