You Me At Six – Bite My Tongue

  General Comment:I absolutely love this song, especially when Oli just rips shit up.
  
  I listened to this song the other day and got the sort of vibe this song was aimed at the producers of the band. The music industry. This part of the song is what gave me that sort of feeling:
  
  "I wanna hate every part of you with me,
  I can't hate the ones who made me"
  
  Even the line "I'm married to the music" could support that YMAS is saying "No, we want the music, not the cash".

  General Comment:I love this band!!! This song is incredible! I was looking for the song Dilemma on here, and could not find it. Dilemma has to be my favourite!
  Joshua is half English and half French, I had to look it up, because he looked so French and though his name Franceschi is of Italian origins, there are a lot of Franceschis in France.

  General Comment:I feel like this could be about the band, or even a certain person in his life.
  
  Basically someone along the path of his life was there, but really wasn't there for him. One of those people that stay around, just to watch you feel. He has found this person out and sees who they truly are. This person thinks that they have it all, and really, they have nothing. At times, he literally hates this person, but he does have points where he almost thanks them for making him who he is now. Because without that person, he would be naive.

  General Comment:I read that this song was written when yma6 were on the verge of breaking up.
  
  'And watch you fall apart
  'Cause in the end
  What are you without me?'

  Lyric Correction:"I'm gonna fall asleep" should be "I'm gonna follow suit"
  "I slow this down" should be, "I'll slow this down"
  "Oh baby I" should be "Oh maybe I"
  
  and there's so many other mistakes I don't really want to take the time to fix it.
  but bigmoe has it pretty close, aside from the "our level" bit.
  
  this song is NOT about love or any type of romantic relationship.
  obviously a friendship type relationship, the other selling out.

  General Comment:i think it's from the perspective of someone falling out of love with a partner and consciously trying to establish a distance. throughout the song he talks about growing to hate and resent someone, and he's trying to hate her, but it will always be a struggle to turn himself against the person who made him who he is.

  My Interpretation:I think this is about the music industry and how messed up it is. For instance when it says:
  
  "I might be proud, but atleast im proud of something,
  You've taken pride in becoming nothing."
  
  "I wanna hate every part of you in me
  I cant hate the ones who made me"
  
  "You've become what i hate
  Sold yourself for a bit of fame"
  
  That's just my perception.

  General Comment:Perhaps it's about a guy/girl who is anxious to see someone fail. He is angry...feeling put off by her and he wants his revenge. He's unhappy at this time and blames her for his problems. What once drew him to her is what he now hates/resents. Her presence in his life is 'dragging' him down, or so he feels. The "bite my tongue" part is perhaps him sitting back as she fails; he'd like to tell her to F off, but he's content with his sideline seat. A very angry song, but a good one.

  General Comment:Real lyrics:
  
  I hate to break it to you but, you're just a lonely star
  I ty to bring you down but, our level isnt good enough
  You always do as you please, so im going to follow suit and take a seat
  Watch you fall apart, cause in the end what are you without me?
  I'll slow this down cause i know that you cant keep up
  Oh maybe i maybe i was wrong from the start
  I might be proud, but at least I'm proud of something
  You've taken pride in becoming nothing
  
  (chorus)
  You keep me on the edge of my seat
  I bite my tongue so you dont hear me
  I wanna hate every part of you in me
  I cant hate the ones who made me
  
  I'm married to the music, for better or for worse
  You say that I'm privileged, but my gift is my curse
  I cant recall the last time someone asking how i was
  Last i checked i was a fucking wreck, i called for help and no one showed up
  so i sit in the dirt
  
  (chorus)
  
  (oli sykes)
  Just forget what you've learned
  Just forget what you've heard
  The truth should come first
  I cant bear the sight of you anymore
  You've become what i hate
  Sold yourself for a bit of fame
  Now the wolves have closed their doors
  You wanna drag me down some more
  Fuck you
  
  (chorus)

    not so much "josh slating the band", its explained in the Bite My Tongue documentary. They went through a rough patch whilst touring and shit.
