Stained
Stained: Betrayal's Crimson Grip
Lyrics
I remember fondly all your lies
Reflecting on memories of deceptive statements made by someone
All the pretty things you told me to make me feel warm inside
Recalling the sweet, comforting lies told to create a sense of warmth
I remember fake smiles and fake friends
Remembering insincere smiles and fake companions
I guess those glimmering little fairy tales don't always have happy ends
Realization that charming stories don't always conclude happily
I really thought that you'd be there when I fell
Belief that the person would offer support in times of need
But clearly you're not 'cause you've made my life a living hell
Realization that the person's actions made life miserable
There's blood on your hands
Metaphorical indication of responsibility for causing harm
'Cause you left me behind when I couldn't stand
Abandonment when in a vulnerable state
And now you're the villain
Attributing the role of a wrongdoer to the person
Should've left me alone
Regretting not being left alone by the person
'Cause now those hands are stained and now you can't go home
Consequence: hands metaphorically tainted, unable to return
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
Refrain in the form of vocal expressions
All of your superficial schemes
Reference to shallow and insincere plans or actions
Have left me spiraling and ripping at the seams
Feeling emotionally unstable and falling apart due to those actions
I wasn't great before and I'm worse now
Admitting a lack of greatness prior to the mentioned events
And I've done the worst I can and the bloodstains can avow
Acceptance of committing terrible deeds, evidenced by metaphorical bloodstains
I thought that I could trust you but I was under your spell
Belief in trusting the person, but realizing it was a manipulation
But clearly, I thought wrong so I'll see you in hell
Expressing intent to meet the person in a metaphorical hell
Now there's blood on my hands
Metaphorical acknowledgment of responsibility or guilt
'Cause you left me behind when I couldn't stand
Feeling abandoned and left behind by the person
And now I'm the villain
Assuming the role of a wrongdoer due to the unfolding events
Should've left you alone
Regretting not leaving the person alone initially
'Cause now my hands are stained and now I can't go home
Consequence: hands metaphorically tainted, unable to return
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
Refrain in the form of vocal expressions
And now I'm the villain
Reiteration of assuming the role of a wrongdoer
Should've left you alone
Regretting not leaving the person alone initially
'Cause now my hands are stained and now I can't go home
Consequence: hands metaphorically tainted, unable to return
