Blindside
Unveiling Shadows: A Tale of Unexpected Betrayal
Lyrics
I'd like to think, I set out to do the right thing
I believe I intended to do the morally right thing
I never aim to cross that line
I never intend to cross ethical boundaries
Many a maiden, cast her shadow upon me
Many women have influenced or affected me
My resolve is ever so defined
My determination is clear and unwavering
And still I find, a steady show of weakness
Despite my efforts, I consistently display vulnerability
I fight those demons I can't hide
I confront inner struggles that I cannot conceal
While my youth, was steeped in hubris and arrogance
During my youth, I was filled with overconfidence and arrogance
Never thought to look behind
I never considered examining my past actions
And there you were, there you were.
You were present at that moment
Who would have thought that
Surprisingly, you came toward me
You would have came at, me
Referring to the unexpected approach of the person
From my blindside
You caught me off guard
I let my guard down
I lowered my defenses
And just as I turn around
Just as I turned around
You were there
You were there, referring to the surprise encounter
In my blindside
In my vulnerable state
Now look at me, pining like a schoolboy
Now I find myself yearning like an inexperienced boy
Never aim to cross that line
Still, I avoid crossing moral boundaries
I'm no saint, but I walk the straight and narrow
I'm not perfect, but I try to live an upright life
But the row I sow wanders all the time.
The path I tread often deviates
For all I know, you could be fighting your own demons
It's possible that you are dealing with your own struggles
I'm quite sure that I'm the last thing on your mind
I'm likely not a significant concern on your mind
Here at home, I'm keeping it together
At home, I'm holding myself together
Look over my shoulder to see what's behind
I cautiously check behind me to understand what lies there
And there you were, there you were
Once again, you were present
Who would have thought that
Surprisingly, you approached me again
You would have came at, me
Referring to the unexpected second encounter
From my blindside
You caught me off guard once more
I let my guard down
Again, I let my defenses down
And just as I turn around
Just as I turned around again
You were there
You were there, indicating a repeated surprise
In my blindside, in my blindside
In my vulnerable state once more
