Sidetracked
Navigating Temptations: Jon Williams' Sidetracked Journey
Lyrics
I've been down down down this path before
I've experienced challenges on this path in the past.
Good intentions brought me to the Devil's door
My good intentions led me to a harmful situation or choice.
He said I've got fun and games
A figure, possibly representing temptation or negativity, offers enticing experiences.
All you have to do is play
To partake, one only needs to engage or participate.
Knock once for yes or three times for no
Providing options for acceptance or rejection through knocking.
I've been Sidetracked from all of my dreams
I've been diverted or distracted from pursuing my aspirations.
Been chasing some things not meant for me, Yeah
Engaged in pursuits not meant for me.
I've been Sidetracked been going astray
Continuing to deviate from the right path.
Was messing around now I've lost my way, Yeah
Engaged in activities that led me astray, and now I'm lost.
So I knocked knocked knocked to tell him no
Expressing a desire to refuse the tempting offer.
Some resistance met me when I tried to go
Facing obstacles when attempting to resist temptation.
He said I know all your sins
The figure claims knowledge of the person's wrongdoings.
When tempted you cave in
Suggesting a pattern of giving in to temptation.
Go ahead and leave you'll just comeback for more
Encouraging departure, but predicting a return for more temptation.
I've been Sidetracked from all of my dreams
Continued distraction from pursuing dreams.
Been chasing some things not meant for me, Yeah
Pursuing things that are not aligned with one's true goals.
I've been Sidetracked been going astray
Continued deviation from the right path.
Was messing around now I've lost my way, Yeah
Lost one's way due to engaging in unproductive activities.
Oh I've tried to run away
Attempts to escape the situation or temptation.
But something wants me to stay
Feeling a pull to stay despite efforts to leave.
Oh I've tried to run away
Reiteration of the struggle to break free.
But something wants me to stay
A force or factor compelling the person to remain.
I've been Sidetracked from all of my dreams
Continued distraction from pursuing dreams.
Been chasing somethings not meant for me, Yeah
Pursuing things that are not aligned with one's true goals.
I've been Sidetracked been going astray
Continued deviation from the right path.
Was messing around now I've lost my way, Yeah
Lost one's way due to engaging in unproductive activities.
