Tally Hall // Cannibal (lyrics)

[@mrjones3445]

Despite the lyrics I think this song is can symbolic be about about a guy who can’t leave a toxic relationship even though he knows all the things wrong with the whole thing

[@untitledswed1661]

Thats What i thought too

[@doginboat]

thats exactly my interpertion

[@tylerstacks1249]

Or in my situation cant stop falling for a asshole

[@anon.9303]

What sold me on this interpretation is the whole "she calls it a game"

[@pciphidic]

why are so many good & evil tracks about toxic relationships (never meant to know, you and me, etc)

[@sillyman2]

Kind of sounds like an abusive relationship. A woman hurts her partner terribly, leaving injuries on him and she acts as if it's just fun and games but no matter how much he tries to escape she finds him and eventually gives up and accepts this is his life.

[@AridMeerkat]

That’s what the song is about

[@wacka1555]

I feel like this song has a deeper meaning. This guy knows the person he's with is slowly (or not so slowly) killing him, and yet he's so blinded by their supposed "love" he just can't leave. Even when he's seeing the bodies of people that have tried before him, he's convinced himself that he's different and that this will end anything other than badly for him.

Still wonder what would’ve happened if maybe I stayed a little longer ig

[@sillyman2]

Nah, you shouldn't be wondering what would've happened. If they cheated on you five times they were lucky to get as far as they did without it ending. That was a disaster waiting to happen if you'd've stuck around.

This song is so relatable to me. I used to have this friend who’d constantly insult me and point out all my insecurities like it was her job. And every time I’d get mad she’d say she was just joking and she’d make fun of me more or sometimes she’d start crying, I couldn’t even stop being her friend because if I left her I’d have to leave my whole friend group. I’d try to stay away from her and not talk to her. Now I’m no longer friends with her because I confronted her about it with my other friends and she doesn’t speak to us. I’m no longer the willing victim of a cannibal

Zubin wants to play the cannibal song! Oh no...

[@GWAHGWAHGWAHGWAHGWAHGWAHGWAHGW]

Okay but this song reminds me so much of Animal by Neon Trees. I’m pretty sure both are about a friends with benefits relationship where one wants more while the other is happy as it is, and both compare it to eating each other like animals, both willing to be “eaten” and “torn apart”. The line “she calls it a game, but the wound that she leaves is unmistakable” could imply that their relationship being a joke to her hurts him. He is still convinced he can convince her that the relationship can work out, trying to “make her believe”. The “skeletons of other men” could be the men who have tried to do as he’s trying to do now, trying to be in a serious relationship. This never works out, causing her to just leave them all together Or she could just be a prostitute, I don’t know.

Before I read the real meaning of the song, I was 100% CONVINCED this was about BDSM. Now that I actually understand what it means, it’s pretty fucked up.

[@LilyCelebiFlipnote]

Well, funny thing about abusers is they can undermine your judgment so much you're convinced you chose this, consented to this, and you actually like/love them! So, it could be both, or could even be a mix of the two. An unhealthy dynamic that pulls one right downward.

[@imstillhere5990]

[@vlo818]

It's kinda probable that it is, by means of being a willing "victim" of a cannibal or someone who abuse a relationship. Decyphering the lyrics is confusing the fact that the singer describes a somewhat bad relationship and yet talks about a cannibal? I guess the song is portrayed in different ways or something like double meanings idk The lyrics is meant to be able to relate to the listener and it's what made it unique being the fact it's a song about a cannibal, lol

[@sarahbelle81]

Unless he survived being cannibalized, it makes a lot of sense for it to be metaphorical. Or unless he's singing this WHILE getting eaten or something lol

[@bludraws094]

Why does the beginning of the chorus of a song about _cannibalism_ sound so happy

[@ducksociety3514]

A lot of people think this song is about a toxic relationship, but I think it's a song symbolic of lust and addiction to lust. The man in the song is obsessed with being together with the cannibal (who symbolizes lust). The cannibal has no feelings towards the man, since lust is an abstract concept which cannot have feelings or desires. The part of the lyrics that says "she's a phantom, a glimmer inside" connects with lust being an emotion which cannot be seen on the outside of a person. The part of the lyrics that says "dig up the skeletons of men who thought that they would be the one like me" might refer to men that thought they could overcome their addiction to lust, but lost in the end. The current victim of the cannibal is being arrogant and thinks he is better than the previous victims and thinks he is able to easily overcome lust, but meanwhile he has already lost.
