Catch You Dead
Redemption Struggles: Catch You Dead's Tale of Broken Trust
Lyrics
Oh I felt , that one
Expressing a strong emotional impact or realization.
Like a bullet from a gun
Describing a sudden and forceful impact, possibly related to a relationship.
Yes I helped
Acknowledging assistance or support provided in the past.
Shape you back to place, why did you throw it all away
Questioning the reason for discarding everything and needing help to recover.
And I hope
Expressing a wish for a positive outcome.
When I see you next
Anticipating a future encounter with someone.
You won't be hanging on by a thread
Hoping for the person not to be in a precarious situation.
Yes I see you with him
Acknowledging the presence of another person in the picture.
I thought I'd never catch you dead
Expressing surprise at the possibility of the person being in a dangerous situation.
And truth be told I saw the warning signs
Recognizing signs of trouble or issues in the relationship.
The dam that you hold in was cracking at its sides
Describing the breaking point of emotional restraint.
How could you be so blind
Expressing disbelief or disappointment in the person's lack of awareness.
I'm working over time
Putting in extra effort to address the problems in the relationship.
To get you back to you
Working towards restoring the person to their true self.
But I won't be made a fool
Refusing to be deceived or taken advantage of.
I won't take more
Setting boundaries and not tolerating further mistreatment.
Of dropping what I'm doing
Resisting the urge to drop everything and rescue the person.
To come and scrape you off the floor
Rejecting the role of constantly saving the person from their mistakes.
I hate to say, but I'm done with fixing you up every time you break
Expressing frustration and a decision to stop fixing the person's problems.
You still dream
Noting that the person still dreams of the problematic relationship.
Of messages from him
Referring to messages from another person that disturb the current relationship.
The texts roll in, light up on your screen
Describing the impact of incoming messages on a device.
And it ends, the way it always does
Anticipating a predictable and negative outcome in the relationship.
You're all cut up and he's up the pub
Describing a situation where one person is hurt, and the other is indifferent.
And truth be told I saw the warning signs
Reiterating the recognition of warning signs, particularly related to self-respect.
The self respect that you had left would meet a swift demise
Highlighting the imminent decline of the person's self-respect.
How could you be so blind
Expressing frustration and disbelief at the person's lack of awareness.
I'm working over time
Continuing efforts to bring the person back to their true self.
To get you back to you
Reiterating the determination not to be deceived or manipulated.
But I won't be made a fool
Refusing to accept a foolish role in the relationship.
How could you be so blind
Expressing frustration and disbelief at the person's lack of awareness (repeated).
I'm working over time
Continuing efforts to bring the person back to their true self (repeated).
To get you back to you
Reiterating the determination not to be deceived or manipulated (repeated).
Yet here I am the fool
Acknowledging one's own role as a fool in the situation.
