Boiler

Looks like I'ma do everything myself
Maybe I could use some help
But hell, you want something done right
You gotta do it yourself
Maybe life is up and down
But my life's been what 'til now?
I crawled up your butt somehow
And that's when things got turned around

I used to be alive
And now I feel pathetic
And now I get it
What's done is done
You just leave it alone
And don't regret it
Sometimes some things turn into dumb things
And that's when you put your foot down

Why'd I have to go and meet somebody like you? (Like you?)
Why'd you have to go and hurt somebody like me? (Like me?)
How could you do somebody like that? (Like that?)
Hope you know that I'm never coming back (never coming back)

Maybe life is up and down
But my life's been what 'til now? (Got it?)
I crawled up your butt somehow (got it?)
And that's when shit got turned around

I used to be alive
So pathetic
But now I get it

Depending on you is done (is done)
Giving to you is done
No more eating, no sleeping, no living
It's all just more giving to you and I'm done (and I'm done)

A Autossuficiência e o Desabafo de um Coração Partido em Boiler

A música Boiler, da banda Limp Bizkit, é um mergulho intenso nas emoções de alguém que se sente traído e desiludido após um relacionamento tóxico. A letra reflete um misto de raiva, frustração e a decisão de seguir em frente, mesmo que isso signifique ter que lidar com tudo sozinho. A banda, conhecida por seu estilo nu metal, que combina elementos do rock, hip hop e metal, frequentemente explora temas de descontentamento e revolta em suas músicas, e Boiler não é exceção.

O refrão da música é um questionamento retórico sobre por que o narrador teve que conhecer alguém que o machucaria tanto. A repetição das perguntas 'Why did I have to go and meet somebody like you?' e 'How could you do somebody like that?' sugere uma busca por respostas que talvez nunca venham. A expressão 'Hope you know that I'm never coming back' é uma declaração de independência e um adeus definitivo à pessoa que causou tanto dano emocional.

A música também aborda a ideia de autossuficiência como uma resposta à decepção. O narrador reconhece que, embora possa precisar de ajuda, há uma crença de que, para fazer algo corretamente, é necessário fazer por si mesmo. Essa atitude é reforçada pela linha 'You just leave it alone and don't regret it', que serve como um mantra de autoconservação e um lembrete para não se prender ao passado. Boiler é, portanto, um hino de empoderamento pessoal, marcado pela decisão de não mais depender ou dar algo a quem não valoriza o relacionamento.
