i absolutely love the fact that the chorus references the saying “dont bite the hand that feeds you”, and the pre-chorus has always been my fav part of the song :’(
EVIL is the twelfth song on Melanie's new album called "PORTALS", and it was officially released on March 31st 2023. The song talks about how she is realizing her relationship is toxic, and how she is proud of leaving them. It talks about empowerment and standing up for oneself in the face of toxic relationships. "If you bite my hand again, I will never feed you", is a reference to the saying "don't bite the hand that feeds you", meaning do not act badly or ungrateful to those who you depend on and those who help you. She is tired of doing all these things for her lover when they are just going to act rude and ungrateful, so she decides to stop helping him and loving him. She leaves him and she is happy that she left.
I relate to this song because my bestie had a friend and she’s rude to me and leaves me out of things because she likes things that I don’t and convinces my friends to like them and leaves me out. I have 2 & 1/2 real friends right now.
I've been listening to ths slowed down version since it was posted, but never commented-- but i really do LOVE this song. honestly probably my favorite of the album thus far. And i specifically like this version. Tickles my brain right.
When portals first came out, this was one of the only songs I liked from it, now a year later i love all the songs but this one will always be my favorite, I love the meaning, Melanie is truly talented, ❤
LYRICS evil~~~~~~~~ You called the other day, I stayed away I left your shit on read four times today And it felt like bliss, used to miss your kiss Now I'm hop-skip jumpin' over narcissists Throwing all your stuff into the abyss Now the role is reversed And told you I'ma switch How you like my spit? That's for all the pits, that you left me in See, the horns on my head They're from goddesses, goddesses, on God No, I never knew what it meant What it meant to be content with you Everything I expressed, I professed It never quite made it through Said it's all in my head, all in my head Whenever I spoke my truth No, I won't defend you to all my friends This time, I refuse If you bite my hand again I will never feed you, you can call me evil Take it to the grave if you wanna play pretend I won't be mistreated, please call me conceited Took me way too long to put this to bed Lovin' you was lethal Guess that makes me evil, evil Evil, evil, evil Remember when you smiled right to my face? As all my little tears of oxalate They made a shape, revealed a snake Now I'm stop-drop rollin' over all your jokes Every time you tell a lie I'm prayin' that you choke Should've listened to the signs And the horoscopes? Hope you never cope, hope you slip on soap Crack your head like an egg Wanna see the yolk You were such a hoax No, I never knew what it meant What it meant to be content with you Everything I expressed, I professed It never quite made it through Said it's all in my head, all in my head Whenever I spoke my truth No, I won't defend you to all my friends This time, I refuse If you bite my hand again I will never feed you, you can call me evil Take it to the grave if you wanna play pretend I won't be mistreated, please call me conceited Took me way too long to put this to bed Lovin' you was lethal Guess that makes me evil, evil If you bite my hand again I will never feed you, you can call me evil Take it to the grave if you wanna play pretend I won't be mistreated, please call me conceited Took me way too long to put this to bed Lovin' you was lethal Guess that makes me evil, evil Evil, evil, evil, evil Evil, evil, evil, evil Lovin' you was lethal Guess that makes me evil
