Guilty Eyes: A Haunting Tale of Regret and Deceit
Lyrics
Please, please, please shut your mouth
Requesting the person to stop talking
Think about what you say
Encouraging reflection on words before speaking
Don't start another fire
Advising against starting conflicts
Lord, hire a ghostwriter if you need to
Suggesting hiring someone to write instead
Shit
Expression of frustration or disbelief
Had me convinced
Feeling deceived
Like an idiot
Acknowledging foolishness
Then you grab my cheeks with both hands
Describing physical interaction
My gut's telling me it's all planned
Sensing a premeditated plan
And then you say
Quoting the person's words
"Don't be stupid. Don't put yourself through this"
Being advised not to go through with something
And my guilty guilty eyes can't look away
Expressing guilt and inability to look away
"Don't be selfish. No please, please don't do this"
Additional advice against selfishness
And now guilty guilty I can't walk away
Reiterating guilt and difficulty walking away
I can't walk away
Emphasizing the inability to walk away
Cuz I saw the rain
Reference to a calm moment before a crisis
Before the hurricane
Comparing a calm situation to an impending disaster
I am so sorry that I said nothing that day
Expressing regret for not speaking earlier
But now that we're here
Acknowledging the current situation
I thought I'd make it clear
Expressing a desire for clarity
So could you please just make this easier on me?
Pleading for an easier resolution
But then you say
Repetition of advice not to proceed
"Don't be stupid. Don't put yourself through this"
Reiterating guilt and inability to look away
And now my guilty guilty eyes can't look away
Quoting the person's words again
"Don't be selfish. No please, please don't do this"
Additional advice against selfishness
And now guilty guilty I can't walk away
Reiterating guilt and difficulty walking away
I can't walk away
Emphasizing the inability to walk away
You say
Quoting the person's words once more
"Don't be selfish. Don't put me through this"
Advising against selfishness
But we're both guilty
Acknowledging mutual guilt
Don't you dare do that to me
Warning against a particular action
If I had a list
If a list existed, detailing mistreatment
Of all of the shit
Imagining a list of negative experiences
You put me through you'd be in jail
Conveying severity of mistreatment
Just let it be
Suggesting acceptance or resignation
Cuz we're both guilty
Affirming shared guilt
Guilty I know
Repeating acknowledgment of guilt
