The Poison Apple
Betrayal's Echo: Unraveling the Bitter Truth in 'The Poison Apple'
Lyrics
I know you lie
Expressing awareness of someone's dishonesty
Was she worth it
Questioning if someone's actions were justified for another person
You gave us all up and for what
Expressing disappointment in sacrificing everything for a questionable reason
I draw a line in the sand
Setting a clear boundary or limit
And I hope that you take a stand
Encouraging someone to take a decisive position
Isn't that perfect
Reflecting on the situation with irony or sarcasm
And now you can smile and why not
Observing someone's ability to smile despite circumstances
If you consider the cost
Considering the price or consequences of actions
It's just some fucking friends you lost
Minimizing the importance of lost friendships
Some friend I lost
Reflecting on the value of a lost friendship
..I just wanted to be sure
Expressing a need for certainty or assurance
Thing are good between you and me..
Claiming that things are going well in a relationship
Well I may not know how to say they're not
Admitting difficulty in expressing problems
But if you saw the things that I see
Implying hidden or unnoticed negative aspects
So let's begin
Initiating or starting a discussion
I know you lie
Reiterating awareness of someone's dishonesty
And the distant zip code
Indicating geographical distance as irrelevant to a personal situation
Doesn't apply
Highlighting the lack of impact from distance on personal matters
To your bed or your edge and
Referring to personal space or boundaries
So tell me why
Questioning the reason behind a specific choice or action
You made your fucking choice
Emphasizing the decision made, likely in frustration
And so have I
Asserting one's own choice in response to someone else's actions
I consider this matter closed
Declaring the issue as resolved from one's perspective
I may not run this place
Recognizing a lack of ultimate authority but asserting influence
But it seems like what I say goes
Implying significant influence or control over situations
You should know
Asserting the importance of understanding
And I'm sorry but that's you
Expressing regret or sympathy while acknowledging responsibility lies with someone else
This is her love spilled for you
Symbolizing affection or care given but not reciprocated
Because she'd never give up on you
Emphasizing commitment despite adversity
Be the man she wants you to be
Encouraging someone to fulfill their potential or ideal self
Be the you we know that you can be
Urging someone to embody their true and better self
