The song "Cancerous Ways" by Harms Way is about a toxic relationship and the betrayal that comes with it. The lyrics describe someone who is hiding and waiting for the right time to hurt others, draining their lives and causing harm. The singer tries to forget and save themselves from this destructive person, but they are unable to cure their ways. The chorus repeats the phrase "try to forget, try to save, you can't cure your cancerous ways." This suggests that the toxic person is like a cancer, spreading negativity and pain to those around them, and they cannot be changed or cured. The bridge of the song touches on the damaging effects of this relationship on the singer's friendships. They had to cut ties with others in order to protect themselves from the toxic person. The singer questions who is to blame for this situation, but ultimately concludes that there is "no love lost." The final lines of the song call for the toxic person to be shown no mercy, and for those around them to be freed from their grip. Overall, "Cancerous Ways" is a powerful message about recognizing and leaving toxic relationships, and the harm that can be caused by those who betray our trust.
