Volbeat - Black Rose Lyrics Meaning

Consider a guy in a manipulative marriage getting a divorce. He tried to work it out despite seeing her being poisonous. She is trying to get everything she can from you and fuck you for everything you are worth (cut her tongue-cookin misery) but despite that she will be out of your life soon hence the counting the days. Been there in a loveless relationship (heart on a shelf-dirty floor) and knowing deep inside it was going to fail (saw the line of snakes...)

Remembering good times you thought she loved you and all you dreamed of together (so innocent were the days - a bag full of hope...) finally you see the truth and are pissed off (feel like a loaded gun) tired of her manipulations (spitting bullets - dont believe a word she says...) and she found out you got wise and is lying and trying to fuck you in court (cut her tongue - cookin misery)

everything you do according to her is wrong (cannot think...) marriage counseling is bs (cant call the doctor)

shoulda seen it coming (saw the line of snakes)

Just leave me the f alone here without your manipulations. I'd rather be sad and alone than with your games. Let me heal and maybe someday I will find someone who really loves me (Please let it grow - find it's home)
