Fraud
Emotional Redemption: Confronting Deception in Jackal & the Wind's 'Fraud'
Lyrics
You're the longest
You represent the longest
Shot in the dark
Symbolic reference to a risky attempt or endeavor
You're the old rusty
You symbolize an old and worn-out aspect
Bark of a dog
Symbolic representation of something outdated or ineffective
You
You, the subject of the narrative
I'll be there
Commitment to be present
To this day
Continuing dedication up to the present time
One lost fight and into the fray
Facing challenges and entering into conflicts
You
You, reiterated
Get my shield
Preparation for defense
And get my sword
Preparation for both defense and offense
I've been caught in emotional fraud
Admission of being deceived emotionally
You
You, repeated
Chop you in the leg
Symbolic harm inflicted on the subject
Chop you in the heart
Symbolic harm to the emotional core
Chop you in the leg
Repetition of symbolic harm to the subject's stability
Chop you in the heart
Reiteration of symbolic harm to the emotional core
Set your sail
Preparation for a journey or change
For the Scottish Isle
Heading towards a destination associated with nature
And I'll sit and drink with the wolf for a while
Sharing a moment with a wild, untamed aspect
You
You, reiterated
Take my seat and
Relinquishing personal identity
Forget my name
Choosing to forget personal significance
It's not like we used to dance in the rain
Reflecting on a past experience of joy
You
You, reiterated
So I drop my shield and I drop my sword
Abandoning both defense and offense
'Cause I'm no longer a victim of fraud
No longer being a victim of emotional deception
You
You, reiterated
Chop you in the leg
Symbolic harm inflicted on the subject, repeated
Chop you in the heart
Symbolic harm to the emotional core, repeated
Chop you in the leg
Repetition of symbolic harm to the subject's stability
Chop you in the heart
Reiteration of symbolic harm to the emotional core
