YOU REALLY LET ME DOWN
Ghost Train of Betrayal: General Elektriks' Heartfelt Journey
Lyrics
Shut the door, I think the rest can wait
Desire to focus on the current issue and postpone other matters.
The time has come to set the record straight
Time has arrived to clarify and state the truth.
And though all I wanna do is sing dooh dooh dooh
Expressing a desire to sing despite the circumstances.
You need to know
Importance of understanding a certain truth.
You really let me down
Feeling deeply disappointed by someone's actions.
You really let me down
Reiteration of feeling let down.
Had to ride by myself this ghost train
Metaphorically riding a "ghost train" alone due to another's actions.
You went your way
Reference to someone going their own way, disregarding others.
I had no say
Feeling powerless or unheard in a situation.
Own it, face it
Encouragement to take responsibility and confront the disappointment.
You really let me down
Reiteration of feeling let down.
I don’t doubt the sun will keep rising
Belief in the continuation of life despite disappointment.
Nothing you did will keep this from spinning
Assurance that actions of disappointment won't stop progress.
But for a while it got hard to sing dooh dooh dooh
Struggling to remain optimistic despite hardships.
You need to know
Emphasizing the importance of understanding.
You really let me down
Deep disappointment reiterated.
You really let me down
Reiteration of feeling let down.
Had to ride by myself this ghost train
Continuation of the metaphor of riding a "ghost train" alone.
You went your way
Highlighting the separation of paths.
I had no say
Emphasizing a lack of control or influence in a situation.
Own it, face it
Encouragement to confront and acknowledge the disappointment.
You really let me down
Reiteration of feeling let down.
See the future straight ahead?
Looking forward to the future despite difficulties.
Gonna try hard to skip the pain
Desire to avoid or minimize emotional pain in the future.
Our song bled a darker red
Reference to a relationship or shared experience that turned difficult or negative.
Had to ride by myself this ghost train
Continuation of the metaphor of riding a "ghost train" alone.
