Nine Ways
Unveiling Betrayal: Angellvroo's 'Nine Ways' Reveals the Pain of Broken Promises
Lyrics
What if in the end, everyone's not who they said?
Reflecting on the possibility that people are not truthful about their identity or true selves.
Everyone you've met, even all your closest friends
Questioning the authenticity of all encountered individuals, including those considered close friends.
There were words we left unsaid, never got to hear the rest
Regret about unspoken words, emphasizing the lack of closure due to incomplete communication.
Thought we'd stick till the end, like the beads on our bracelet
Expressing the expectation of enduring relationships, likening it to beads on a bracelet that should stay together.
And I could write 10 songs bout' last October
Recalling events from October and hinting at emotional pain associated with that period.
With 9 ways that you screwed me over
Highlighting betrayal and hurt caused by someone in nine distinct ways, possibly referring to various actions or behaviors.
I won't change
Affirmation of personal resilience and refusal to change despite negative experiences.
These were the years that they promised would be great
Critical reflection on a period of life that was promised to be great, but may not have lived up to expectations.
Now i'm glad were strangers, you'd be surprised how much I've changed
Expressing relief at being strangers now, suggesting personal growth and positive transformation.
Filling with regret, listened to my heart not head
Acknowledging regret and the consequences of following emotions over rational thinking.
Come on it's your turn, pick your poison steel or lead

Pouring red...
Imagery of pouring something red, possibly indicating blood or pain.
Now what's left?
Pondering on what remains after a significant event or relationship ends.
I could write 10 songs bout' last October
Reiteration of the emotional impact of events from October with a focus on betrayal.
With 9 ways that you screwed me over

I won't change
Reaffirming a refusal to change despite the hardships faced.
These were the years that they promised would be great
Reflecting on a period that was supposed to be great but may not have lived up to expectations.
Now how does it feel to do things in the bed that we made?
Asking the person how it feels to engage in actions within the consequences of their shared experiences.
I could cry 10 times over your shoulder
Expressing intense emotional pain and the desire to cry multiple times over the other person's actions.
With 9 ways that I gave you closure

Now this hearts gone...
