Thanks for the feedback guys, lots to note there! As far as lyrics go, personally this song is a really honest account of something that happened in my life and in my knowledge of mainstream songwriting not many people write from the point of view of the aggressor in a relationship, as far as generic goes, I can definitely see what you would mean if the chorus is anything to go by, its just meant to be a general declaration of how i felt at the time, I guess i could have been stronger lyrically there yeah, less literal..however i guess I would naturally disagree with you in the verses and pre-choruses. I'm really proud of those lyrics, I particularly like "I'm teaching myself lessons in a combat style designed to fool you".
But thats not to say I wont take anything youve said on board theres plenty duley noted there. And I'm not forgetting the kind words youve said toward the track by no means! I know my style isnt to everyones taste, yeah its nice to hear positive feedback thats why we use these forums; for some form of recognition... but at the end of the day i write these songs to get what im feeling off my chest.
