Suffer

Get Scared's song 'Suffer' delves deep into the themes of pain, betrayal, and the desire for retribution. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who has endured significant emotional and possibly physical torment. The opening lines, 'Put me down just medicate me blind / Or you can take my wounds and pour some salt inside,' suggest a sense of hopelessness and a plea for either numbness or an end to the suffering. The protagonist feels like a 'basket case,' indicating a state of mental and emotional disarray, and acknowledges that breaking down is an intrinsic part of their being.

The chorus, 'Cut you open and make you sick / Suffer suffer / Suffer like I did,' is a powerful expression of the desire for those who have caused pain to experience the same level of suffering. This sentiment is further emphasized with the lines 'Take the poison and lock your lips,' which can be interpreted as a metaphor for silencing oneself with the same toxicity that has been inflicted upon the protagonist. The repetition of 'Suffer like I did' underscores the intensity of the protagonist's anguish and their longing for justice or revenge.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of animosity and a struggle to overcome past traumas. The lines 'I found a cure for me / A fucking remedy to walk these streets' suggest a temporary solution or coping mechanism, but the protagonist is still haunted by 'fear and loathing.' The song culminates in a declaration of resilience and a readiness to confront those who have wronged them, as seen in 'It's taken so long / To see through everyone / And now the time has come / To show you what I'm made of.' 'Suffer' is a raw and unfiltered exploration of the darker aspects of human emotion, particularly the desire for those who have caused pain to experience it in return.
