Thankful
Embracing Redemption: A Journey from Betrayal to Gratitude
Lyrics
Wasn’t surprised by the look in your eyes
Reflecting on a familiar look in someone's eyes, not surprising.
Couldn’t be sure you saw through my disguise
Uncertainty about whether the observer's disguise was transparent.
After the rain we made our peace
Peace made after a difficult situation, possibly referring to a resolution after a conflict.
Your forgiveness came at 98 degrees
Forgiveness received, symbolically mentioned at 98 degrees, indicating warmth or a turning point.
Wasn’t surprised by the look in your eyes
Reiteration of the familiar look in the person's eyes.
Darkness around me, I have failed
Acknowledgment of personal failure and the presence of darkness.
Only meant to hide what was betrayal
Intent to conceal a betrayal, expressing remorse.
I was only careful as careful could be
Cautiousness in actions when harboring a secret.
When you carry a secret you are un-revealed
Concealing one's true self when keeping a secret.
Darkness surround me, I have failed
Reiteration of personal failure and the persisting darkness.
I was no longer the man I thought I was
Realization of a changed self, losing identity.
I have no title to those I once loved
Loss of connection to those once loved, possibly due to personal choices.
I sold out for fate, sold my good deeds
Sacrificing moral principles for fate, abandoning virtuous actions.
My heart was empty as my integrity
Emptiness of the heart paralleling the loss of integrity.
I was no longer the man I thought I was
Reiteration of no longer being the person one thought they were.
I can take the bait, hand grenades
Willingness to face challenges or danger, perhaps for the sake of truth.
While truth it lives a world away
Recognition of truth residing in a distant place.
Am I the man who turned your sunny day
Questioning if the speaker caused a positive change in someone's life.
Your sunny day
Reiteration of the impact on someone's "sunny day."
I am surprised by every single day
Expressing surprise at the unpredictability of each day.
Things I think are real are no more real than haze
Doubt about the reality of things, comparing them to an illusion (haze).
Now, I am thankful for this breath I breathe
Gratitude for the simple act of breathing.
I don’t have much I don’t have many needs
Contentment with having few material needs.
Gave up my ghost, gave up my shame
Letting go of past mistakes and guilt.
My heart is good, not many complaints
Claiming a good heart with few grievances.
I am thankful for this breath I breathe
Continued gratitude for the act of breathing.
