this is intense. Interesting.......
right, it is
and the point of my comparison isn't necessarily about the overtly threatening nature of his words
that point-of-view almost sounds like that of a serial killer, someone justifying vengeance of a most righteous sort. lol
but the more poetic impression that i glean from the lyrics is that people depend on us adhering to certain standards: law, decency, chivalry, humanity, forgiveness, morality, etc
so, a lot of manipulative and hurtful people will do you wrong and rest comfortably KNOWING that you won't retaliate in any way for what they've put you through, because they ASSUME that your hand will be forced by those conventions listed above
that has probably been one of the biggest challenges in my life, is not going OUTSIDE of the rules and going after people that have actively and willfully hurt me. i'm smart enough to do it. i'm capable of doing it. i'm pissed enough to do it. (speaking of past transgressions, of course)
yet i don't do it.
why?
because my hands are tied.
but you never know when you are dealing with someone who simply will choose to untie his hands and come after you both guns blazing in whatever way exacts justice.
i hate people that count on me being castrated by conventions and norms into not being able to retaliate and then take advantage of that fact (and my decency) to abuse me and abuse me again...
there is a special place in hell for those people
