Double Crossed
Betrayed Reflections: Unveiling Deceit in Memories
Lyrics
Remember when we used to have it made?
Reflecting on a time when things were going well.
It never seemed like we were on the take,
No indication of dishonesty or deception.
But we were double crossed along the way.
Realization of being betrayed or deceived.
It's hard to see it any other way.
Difficulty in perceiving the situation differently.
You're tilted and you're not quite true,
Describing someone as unsteady or unreliable.
I should've done away with you,
Expressing regret for not removing the unreliable person.
Telling me the things you knew I wanted,
Receiving information, possibly manipulative, to fulfill desires.
But you were leaving out the best part and,
Missing crucial details intentionally.
Saving it for last.
Withholding important information until the end.
Saving it for last.
Repetition of the idea of saving significant information.
Remember when we used to have it made?
Nostalgia for a past when everything seemed perfect.
It never seemed like we were on the take,
Contrasting the present deception with the past.
But we were double crossed along the way.
Reiteration of feeling betrayed along the journey.
It's hard to see it any other way.
Emphasizing the difficulty in perceiving the situation differently.
Jilted and when I came to,
Feeling rejected and realizing the unreliability of someone.
I knew I couldn't count on you,
Recognizing the inability to depend on the unreliable person.
Telling me the things I thought I wanted,
Receiving deceptive information about desires.
Were just beyond my reach but not my grasp,
Realizing desires are close but not attainable.
And I put out my hand.
Extending a hand for something desired.
And I put out my hand.
Repetition of extending a hand for something desired.
Remember when we used to have it made?
Recalling a time when life was comfortable.
It never seemed like we were on the take,
Reiteration of the absence of deception in the past.
Remember when they said we had it made?
Remembering when success was assured.
It never seemed like we were on the take,
Reiterating the absence of deception in the remembered success.
But we were double crossed along the way.
Acknowledging betrayal along the journey.
It's a double cross and we're to blame.
Accepting responsibility for the betrayal.
It's hard to see it any other way.
Reiterating the difficulty in seeing the situation differently.
