Something Here Is Wrong
Unraveling Deception: Evan Wright's 'Something Here Is Wrong'
Lyrics
Give me something to believe
Expressing a desire for something to believe in.
A made up story or anything
Open to accepting a fabricated story or any form of belief.
And I will hold on so tight
Committing to holding onto the provided belief strongly.
I won't even question twice
Commitment to unquestioningly accepting the belief.
How are you supposed to feel
Questioning the expected emotions when presented with something claimed to be real.
When they hand you something that they say is real
Reflecting on the challenge of validating the authenticity of something presented as real.
And you try to hold it in your hands
Attempting to grasp and understand the presented reality.
And it falls right through the cracks like sand
Feeling the disappointment when the presented reality slips away.
And it falls right through the cracks like sand
Emphasizing the repeated disappointment of losing grasp, like sand slipping through cracks.
Have you ever said a word that wasn't true
Questioning honesty by asking if untrue words have ever been spoken.
Or passed the blame when it should be blamed on you
Acknowledging the tendency to shift blame instead of taking responsibility.
Oh oh, When it's all said an done
Expressing a realization that something is wrong after everything is said and done.
We both know that something here is wrong
Affirming the mutual awareness that something is wrong.
We both know that something here is wrong
Reiterating the mutual understanding of a problem or issue.
All the miles and miles I'll see
Referencing the vast experiences and distances one might encounter.
The endless fields and the big machines
Describing expansive landscapes and large machinery.
The stories they will say to me
Highlighting that the stories heard won't hold significant meaning.
Won't ever mean that much to me
Emphasizing the lack of profound impact from the stories.
Won't ever mean that much to me
Repeating the sentiment that stories won't have substantial meaning.
Have you ever said a word that wasn't true
Reiterating the question about speaking untruthful words.
Or passed the blame when it should be blamed on you
Revisiting the theme of deflecting blame instead of taking responsibility.
Oh oh, When it's all said an done
Expressing the realization of something being wrong when everything is concluded.
We both know that something here is wrong
Affirming the shared knowledge that a problem exists.
We both know that something here is wrong
Repeating the acknowledgment of a shared awareness of an issue.
We both know that something here is wrong
Reiterating the mutual understanding that something is wrong.
