Pardon Me
Unraveling Love's Deception: Noah Guthrie's 'Pardon Me' Explained
Lyrics
I was raised to follow my heart
I was brought up to follow my emotions and instincts.
Keep the faith when the lights go dark.
Maintain faith even in challenging times when everything seems dark.
Now I see that I've wandered too far
Realizing that I have strayed too far from my true self.
So pardon me if I just fall apart.
Apologizing for potential emotional breakdown or vulnerability.
You molded me like clay in your hands
You shaped and influenced me like molding clay in your control.
Tied my feet and you forced me to stand.
You restricted my freedom and compelled me to stand against my will.
Dirty wounds now theres blood in the sand.
There are emotional wounds, and now there's a mess or conflict (blood in the sand).
Pardon me if I don't join in your dance.
Excusing oneself from participating in a metaphorical dance, possibly a metaphor for conforming to someone else's expectations.
Say that you wanted me. Even after the fall.
Requesting affirmation that you still wanted and accepted me despite any failures or mistakes.
Say that you needed me, after all.
Seeking acknowledgment that you still needed me, despite any shortcomings.
Lie to me and I play my part
If you deceive me, I will still play my role despite the pain, especially if it's presented as a form of artistic expression.
The pain is sweet when its disguised as art.
The pain is acceptable when disguised as a form of art or beauty.
Finally, I'm breaking it down.
Finally breaking down emotionally or mentally.
I am just another jewel in your crown.
Recognizing oneself as just another possession or ornament in someone else's collection or life.
Say you wanted me, even after the fall
Reiterating the desire for assurance that you still wanted me, even after facing challenges or failures.
Say that you needed me, after all.
Reiterating the need for acknowledgment that you still needed me, despite any flaws or imperfections.
Love, you built the fire, and now you’ll watch it burn.
Accusing someone (possibly love) of creating a situation that will now have negative consequences, and they will have to witness it.
All of my desire, and the love you never earned.
Expressing unfulfilled desires and love that was never reciprocated or earned.
Say you wanted me, even after the fall
Repeating the desire for affirmation even after facing challenges or setbacks.
Say that you needed me After all.
Repeating the need for recognition and acceptance even after all experiences and difficulties.
