“Forgiveness isn’t working, so I hope you choke,” Isabel Pless sings decisively in the chorus of “Little Life”, a bitter (yet humorous) pop anger anthem. Opening with Isabel’s voice accompanied only by acoustic guitar, the song quickly grows to incorporate drums, electric guitars, and a chorus of ba...
[Verse 1]
I hope hell's hotter than you thought it'd be
I hope people stop listening when you speak
I hope that you see me in your wet dreams
I hope karma's the bitch that she's always been
I hope the regret eats you from within
I hope the future brings you down to your knees
[Chorus]
Forgiveness isn't working, so I hope you choke
And that you find yourself always the butt of the joke
Know that you are in my eyes
And when you're out getting wasted on something tastelеss
Hope you lose your mind but not your patiencе
When you realize you're just some guy
And this is such a little life
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh (Such a little life)
Oh, oh (For such a little guy)
[Verse 2]
I hope your mother ends up hatin' your guts
I hope you always give your all and it's never enough
I hope you have no one you can trust
Mmm, I hope your bridges burn
Hope you never learn
How to heal, how to deal with the hurt
And I hope the thought of me makes you squirm
[Chorus 2]
Forgiveness isn't working, so I hope you choke
And that you find yourself always the butt of the joke
Know that you are in my eyes
I can picture you wasted in your unfinished basement
Staring at photos of women naked
When you realize you're just some guy
And this is such a little life
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh (Such a little life)
Oh, oh (For such a little guy)
Oh, oh (Such a little life)
Oh, oh (For such a little guy)
[Outro]
I hope hell's hotter than you thought it'd be
I hope people stop listening when you speak
I hope that you see me in your wet dreams

“Bechdel Test” brought me amazing things, but “Little Life” is probably the most cathartic. “Little Life” felt really cathartic. It feels so good when you’re able to bring justice to the feelings you have and need to confess. It’s very rewarding.
