On Your Side
Embracing Shadows: David Ramirez's Anthem of Redemption
Lyrics
Don't leave the house
Expressing a desire for someone not to leave the house.
We're only getting started
Indicating that the situation or relationship is just beginning.
I open my mouth a little too soon
Acknowledging speaking prematurely or impulsively.
Blame it on the spotlight
Attributing a mistake or misstep to the attention of the spotlight.
Blame it on the stage
Blaming a situation on the pressures of being on stage.
Sometimes I forget there are other
Admitting forgetfulness about the presence of others.
People in the room
Acknowledging the existence of other people in the room.
So, when you look at my face
Asking if the observer perceives hostility or negativity in the speaker's face.
Do you see the enemy?
Questioning whether the observer sees the speaker as an adversary.
Someone dark, selfish, and unkind?
Suggesting a negative self-perception as dark, selfish, and unkind.
Can you hear my heart and
Inquiring if the observer can sense the sincerity in the speaker's heart.
Believe it when I say
Asserting a commitment to the listener and their perspective.
I am on your side, I am on your side
Reaffirming support for the listener, being on their side.
I'll never question you for an alibi
Promising not to doubt the listener or question their alibi.
I am on your side so, why are you shaking?
Expressing confusion about the listener's unease or trembling.
We're only getting started
Reiterating that the situation is just starting.
And why aren't you looking me in the eye
Questioning why the listener avoids eye contact.
Some men are monsters some men are children
Recognizing the diversity in the nature of men, some being monsters, others children, and some wanting to assist survival.
And some men just wanna help you survive
Acknowledging the varying intentions of men.
So, when you look at my face
Repeating the question about perceiving negativity in the speaker's face.
Do you see the enemy?
Reiterating the inquiry about being seen as an enemy.
Someone dark, selfish, and unkind?
Restating the negative self-perception.
Can you hear my heart and
Asking if the sincerity in the speaker's heart is perceptible.
Believe it when I say
Affirming the commitment to support the listener.
I am on your side, I am on your side
Reiterating the stance of being on the listener's side.
I'll never question you for an alibi
Reaffirming the promise not to question the listener.
I am on your side
Continuing the declaration of support for the listener.
Oh oh oh
Ending the lyrics with a vocalization (Oh oh oh).
