Britney Was Right
Redemption's Echo: Unveiling the Apology Within Nowhere Fast's 'Britney Was Right'
Lyrics
I know that I acted like a monster
I acknowledge that I behaved terribly, like a monster.
Until the day that you went away
My realization occurred on the day you left.
I've finally found all the words I meant to
Now I have found the words I intended to say.
Meant to say
Words that were meant but not expressed previously.
You were an angel
You were an angelic presence in my life.
That I took for granted
I failed to appreciate and took you for granted.
And now I realize that I wasn't worth your time
Realizing I wasn't deserving of your time.
I was a poison
I was toxic, a negative influence.
With too many chances
I had numerous chances but squandered them.
And all I did was hold you back and make you cry
I held you back and caused you pain.
So tell me why I learned too late
Questioning why I grasped the lesson too late.
All of our fights just ate away
Our conflicts gradually destroyed our relationship.
I know that I can't
I understand that I can't go back and change things.
Go back and redo this
(Reference to the difficulty of making amends)
(Seven times seventy's more than a fair shake, they say)
Noted phrase indicating forgiveness might be challenging.
But I hope that you never have to think of me
Expressing a wish that the person doesn't dwell on me negatively.
Hopelessly lost and
Feeling hopelessly lost and addicted to conflict.
Addicted to conflict
(Reference to being alone and facing scrutiny)
(The theatre is empty, the stage lights are staring at me)
Past self is viewed as a nightmarish figure.
The one that I once was is only a bad dream
Questioning why the realization came too late.
So tell me why I learned too late
Our conflicts gradually eroded our connection.
All of our fights just ate away
Reflecting on the impact of unresolved issues.
All of our plans were crushed under the weight
All plans were crushed under the weight of anger and insecurities.
Of all my anger and insecurities
Reiterating the destructive influence of personal issues.
Insecurities
Emphasizing the impact of personal insecurities.
I know that I acted like a monster
Acknowledging past monstrous behavior once again.
Until the day that you went away
Realization dawns on the day of the person's departure.
I finally found all the words I meant to
Now I have the words I meant to say.
Meant to say
Reiteration of words meant but left unspoken.
So tell me why I learned too late
Questioning why the lesson was learned too late.
All of our fights just ate away at you
Our conflicts gradually ate away at the person.
