Betray You
Faith Unraveled: Betrayal in Open Spaces
Lyrics
I can't stand the penitents all falling to their knees
I feel a sense of disdain for those seeking forgiveness on their knees.
'Cause charlatans and martyrs always looked the same to me
I perceive little difference between deceptive individuals and those who willingly suffer for a cause.
I'm waiting on a telephone that's never gonna ring
I'm anticipating a call that will never come.
And I'm holding up the wire
I'm maintaining a connection, possibly metaphorical, while facing inner conflict.
At total war with peace of mind
I'm in a constant internal struggle, torn between the pursuit of peace and the chaos of war.
Another sabotage romanticized
There's a tendency to glorify acts of sabotage in a romantic way.
You're coming on too strong
Someone is being overly assertive, possibly in a negative way.
I won't waste my night
I won't waste my time on unnecessary matters.
Alright?
An affirmation of the decision not to engage unnecessarily.
I'd hate to betray you
Expressing reluctance or unwillingness to betray someone.
I said I'd hold out 'til the end
Commitment to endure until the end, despite challenges.
Well, you're far too late again
The person has arrived too late, missing the commitment.
One night turns to two turns to a month I can't get back
Time has passed, and it's impossible to reclaim certain moments.
You're losing altitude and I'm an open space to crash
One is losing control or stability, and there's potential for a disastrous outcome.
Batten down again, this storm is never gonna pass
Preparing for a prolonged difficulty that won't easily subside.
But it's nice you finally showed up
Despite the challenges, it's appreciated that someone finally arrived.
Never one to take the blame
A refusal to take responsibility or accept blame for a situation.
I waited on and on, you never came
Long waiting without any arrival or fulfillment of promises.
You've got a lot of nerve to let my name
An accusation of audacity or boldness in letting the speaker's name slip.
Slip out your mouth
Expressing a reluctance to betray despite provocations.
I'd hate to betray you
Reiteration of the reluctance to betray someone.
I said I'd hold out 'til the end
Repeating the commitment to hold out until the end.
Well, you're far too late again
Reinforcing the idea that it's too late for the commitment.
And by now, you've found out
Indicating that the truth or consequences are now apparent.
Time never hides apostasy
Highlighting that betrayal is evident over time and cannot be concealed.
And you've lost your faith in me
The person has lost trust or belief in the speaker.
I'd hate to betray you
Reiterating the reluctance to betray someone despite the consequences.
I said I'd hold out 'til the end
Reaffirming the commitment to hold out until the end.
Well, you're far too late again
Emphasizing that it's too late to fulfill the commitment.
And by now, you've found out
Reiterating the realization that time reveals betrayal and loss of trust.
Time never hides apostasy
Stating that time does not conceal acts of betrayal.
And you've lost your faith
Confirming the loss of faith or trust in the speaker.
You've lost your faith
Repeating the idea that trust or faith has been lost.
