bite back (demo) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I hear you laughing in the other room
Two doors between us, oh, it's morning soon
I rolled my eyes to land on ten past nine
Oh God, I gave up, said goodnight, mmm
If I could find the strength of fifty men
Maybe I could go back in again
I'd shrug my shoulders, I'd shake back my hair
I'd be the girl who doesn't care, hmm

[Pre-Chorus]
You're in a weird mood
And I could smell it
Why do you bite back?
Why are you jealous?
I couldn't reach you
No, not tonight
I'll try tomorrow
I'll try tomorrow

[Chorus]
Oh, let me look inside
'Cause under all that fire
There are knots that I can help undo
My dear, I'm only trying to help you
Will you soften to me?
Will you not let me be someone else not getting through?
My dear, I'm only trying
My dear, I'm only trying to help you

[Verse 2]
Our conversation walks a fine line
I search the room for brows that raise like mine
I seem to be quite used to heavy words
Don't even know why this still hurts, hmm
And when I come to you and say my peace
Don't give me eyes like this is my problem, please
Folded arms and furrowed brows
It's just too late to admit it now, hmm

[Pre-Chorus]
You're in a weird mood
And I could smell it
Why do you bite back?
Why are you jealous?
I couldn't reach you
No, not tonight
I'll try tomorrow
I'll try tomorrow

[Chorus]
Oh, let me look inside
'Cause under all that fire
There are knots that I can help undo
My dear, I'm only trying to help you
Will you soften to me?
Will you not let me be someone else not getting through?
My dear, I'm only trying
My dear, I'm only trying to help you

[Bridge]
Mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm

[Outro]
I couldn't reach you
No, not tonight
I'll try tomorrow
And hope you're kind

About

This song bio is unreviewed

“bite back” was originally shared on April 8, 2020 as a part of ALOSIA via YouTube on doddlevloggle.

This song appears to be about living with someone during some sort conflict as there is tension between the two. dodie seems to be looking for an answer for the tension and not wanting to make it worse, walking on a fine line to avoid it. A confrontation is being avoided and seems to be making the overall mood between the two parties worsen over time.

Some may speculate that the song is also referring to a relationship that dodie had with an emotionally manipulative person. The following lines could be used as evidence towards this theory:
