Finn
Breaking Free: Unraveling the Grip of Deceit in Jaz Beeson's 'Finn'
Lyrics
Can't believe I was so blind
Expressing disbelief at not realizing something earlier or being unaware of a situation.
I was seventeen, should've been my teenage dream
Reflecting on being 17, expecting it to be a dreamlike time, but it turned out differently due to someone's actions.
But you turned out the light
Metaphorically describing how the person extinguished hope or positivity.
I really thought you were so kind
Believing in the person's kindness initially but later discovering a different truth.
Made of honey, smile so sweet
Describing the person's outwardly sweet and kind demeanor, possibly deceptive.
I couldn't see what was behind
Realizing the hidden or obscured reality behind the person's facade.
And all your pretty little friends
Referring to the deceptive friends of the person who manipulated or controlled the situation.
They had their hands around my neck for a while
Feeling suffocated or oppressed by the influence or control of these friends.
I'd let them drive me round the bend
Accepting being manipulated but expressing exhaustion from enduring it.
But I'm sick of driving miles
Feeling tired of making efforts or sacrifices for the person and their circle.
Wherever you'd go that's where id follow
Displaying a pattern of blindly following the person, regardless of where they went.
Whatever you'd say I breathed it in
Taking in and internalizing everything the person said or suggested.
I took on words that made me hollow
Feeling emotionally drained or hollow due to the words or actions imposed by the person.
All your shit constructive criticism
Perceiving negative comments as disguised constructive criticism from the person.
Yeah, you led and I would follow
Continuing to follow the person despite their lead, accepting everything without resistance.
I took it all on the chin
Enduring everything without complaint or opposition.
But I won't let you steal or borrow
Deciding not to let the person continue taking control of life.
My life anymore, Finn
Asserting independence from the influence of 'Finn', refusing to let them dictate anymore.
My family was tired
Family being aware and exhausted from waiting for something to change.
They saw me waiting by the streetlight
Visualizing waiting for someone at a streetlight, expecting them to arrive but being disappointed.
But you never showed on time
Feeling let down or disappointed by the person's repeated unreliability.
I should've realised the night
Realizing the negative impact the person had on a specific night or event.
You ruined my life in 5 seconds in the bathroom of the dive
Describing a moment where the person drastically altered the speaker's life in a short span.
And all your pretty little friends
Similar reference to the deceptive friends, implying their continuous influence or control.
They had their hands around my neck for a while
Feeling controlled or manipulated by these friends for an extended period.
I'd let them drive me round the bend
Tolerating the situation but expressing weariness from the efforts.
But I'm sick of driving miles
Expressing exhaustion from traveling a distance, either physically or metaphorically.
Wherever you'd go that's where id follow
Continuing the pattern of blindly following the person regardless of the consequences.
Whatever you'd say I breathed it in
Continuing to absorb and internalize everything the person communicated.
I took on words that made me hollow
Feeling emotionally drained or hollow due to the person's words or actions.
All your shit constructive criticism
