Undamned
Unveiling Life's Deceptions: Undamned by Bettye LaVette
Lyrics
Sometimes, the things we believe
Sometimes, our beliefs turn out to be deceptive or fraudulent.
Turn out to be nothing but a scam
Our convictions may end up being nothing more than a scam.
I'm just tryin' to get my world undamned
The speaker is striving to free their world from damnation or misery.
And spend my whole life alone
The desire is to spend a lifetime in solitude, perhaps to find inner peace.
(Someone) Who'd take me just as I am
Seeking someone who will accept them unconditionally.
I'm tryna find me somebody
Actively looking for a person to assist in undoing the perceived damnation.
To help me get my world undamned
The quest is ongoing to find someone to help alleviate their troubles.
I've got 1000 lost songs
The speaker mentions a vast number of unrecoverable songs, possibly symbolic of lost opportunities or experiences.
It's just too many just got away
Regret over numerous missed chances or lost moments.
I've done 1000 things wrong
An acknowledgment of having made many mistakes or errors in life.
Far too many for me to name
There are too many wrongs committed to enumerate.
But I'm still not too long gone
Despite the errors, the speaker believes they are not irreversibly lost.
To fall head [?]
An unclear phrase that may suggest a readiness to embrace change or redemption.
Into the arms of lonely
A willingness to seek solace in the embrace of solitude.
Don't count me out just yet
Despite challenges, the speaker insists on not being disregarded or underestimated.
I'm not your lil lost lamb
Rejecting the role of a lost and helpless individual.
I might still be able
Expressing the possibility of reclaiming a positive and undamned existence.
To get my world undamned
Hopeful about the potential to reverse the perceived damnation.
I've got 1000 lost songs
Reiteration of the vast number of lost songs, emphasizing the weight of missed opportunities.
It's just too many just got away
Continued remorse over the multitude of missed opportunities or experiences.
I've done 1000 things wrong
Recognition of a history marked by numerous mistakes.
Far too many for me to name
An admission of a multitude of errors without specifying each one.
But I'm still not too long gone
Despite the mistakes, there is still a belief in the possibility of redemption.
To fall head [?]
A phrase suggesting a readiness to embrace change or renewal.
Into the arms of lonely
Repeating the theme of finding solace in the arms of loneliness.
