Watching Over You
Guardian Shadows: A Tale of Vigilant Protection
Lyrics
Wide eyed
Feeling alert and watchful
Laying awake at night listening to the careful fights
Unable to sleep, hearing arguments or disagreements cautiously
Listening to my heart beat like I'm in a fight
Sensing heart palpitations as if in a tense situation
Something's not right and I'm thinking
Intuition signals that something is wrong
You can't say no if you don't know
If you're unaware, you may not refuse
And he can't hurt you if you don't know
He cannot cause harm if you're oblivious
And you can't say no if you don't know
Similar to line 5, emphasizing lack of awareness leading to inability to decline
And I'll be the, be the, be the one
Committing to being there for someone
And I'll be the, be the, be the one
Reiteration of commitment to support someone
So she's an old girl think about another
Referring to a woman who's contemplating someone else
Just look around there's someone out there
Encouragement to search as there's another person out there
Don't even see me cause I'm undercover
Feeling unnoticed while keeping an eye on someone
I'll be, I'll be, I'll be somebody watching over you
Expressing the role of secretly watching over someone
I'm not gonna go there
Repeated refusal to engage in something
I'm not gonna go there
-I'm not gonna go there
-See the light but my life is on hold
Seeing possibilities but feeling stuck or paused in life
Last night
Reference to a past night
I made a deal inside making sure I get fine
Making an internal commitment to ensure personal well-being
Making sure I keep that light in my sight
Ensuring to keep a positive focus despite challenges
Holding me tight
Feeling emotionally supported and secured
And I'm thinking
Similar to line 4, expressing a sense of unease or suspicion
You can't say no if you don't know
Repeated idea of ignorance leading to the inability to reject
And he can't hurt you if you don't know
-And you can't say no if you don't know
-And I'll be the, be the, be the one
Commitment to being a supportive figure
And I'll be the, be the, be the one
Reiteration of the commitment to provide support
So she's an old girl think about another
Similar to lines 11-13, emphasizing unnoticed observation of someone
Just look around there's someone out there
-Don't even see me cause I'm undercover
-I'll be, I'll be, I'll be somebody watching over you
Repeating the role of covertly watching over someone
I'm not gonna go there
Repeated refusal to engage in something
I'm not gonna go there
-I'm not gonna go there
-See the light but my life is on hold
Perceiving possibilities but feeling held back in life
Staying undercover
Remaining hidden or concealed
Till you find me
Staying hidden until found
Undercover now
Continuation of staying concealed
And I'll be the, be the, be the one
Reiteration of commitment to supporting someone
And I'll be the, be the, be the one
-So she's an old girl think about another
Repetition of observing someone secretly
Just look around there's someone out there
-Don't even see me cause I'm undercover
-I'll be, I'll be, I'll be somebody watching over you
-So she's an old girl think about another
Reiteration of refusing to engage in something
Just look around there's someone out there
-Don't even see me cause I'm undercover
-I'll be, I'll be, I'll be somebody watching over you
-I'm not gonna go there
-I'm not gonna go there
-I'm not gonna go there
-See the light but my life is on hold
Feeling limited despite recognizing opportunities
