This song is about being abused. It’s most likely about his parents abusing him, not in hurting him, but verbally abusing him. “Grunge Pig” has one of the darkest riff melodies in this album.
[Verse 1]
I didn't take that blow to heart
You couldn't tear our home apart
Give you anything, you wanted everything
Don't have bruises I can show
Scars from abuse without a blow
Give you anything, you wanted everything
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't owe anything to me
[Verse 2]
I didn't take that blow to heart
You couldn't tear our home apart
Give you anything, you wanted everything
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't owe anything to me
But don't expect me not to leave
[Chorus]
I ask each year
Why am I here?
Begging you please
Remembering
I'd rather die than be alone
[Verse 3]
I didn't take that blow to heart
You couldn't tear our home apart
Give you anything, you wanted everything
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't owe anything to me
But don't expect me not to leave
[Chorus]
I ask each year
Why am I here?
Begging you please
Remembering
I'd rather die than be alone
I ask each year
Why am I here?
Begging you please
Remembering
I'd rather die than be alone
