Love County
Storms of Betrayal: Love Unraveled in Marietta
Lyrics
A storm cut straight through love county
A tumultuous event disrupted Love County.
But it's not my blood that covers me
The aftermath is not my own suffering or sacrifice.
I left you holding on to him
I abandoned you while you clung to someone else.
Like you meant nothing to me
I treated our relationship as if it meant nothing.
There is rage in the sky over Marietta
There's intense anger in the sky over Marietta.
Sirens tearing through the night
Sirens pierce through the night, indicating chaos.
The cold front got there before I could
A cold front arrived before I could reach there.
God you know I tried
Expressing effort to intervene or prevent the situation.
The fire went cold but I'm still burning
The passion may have faded, but I still feel the burn.
As the embers slowly die
While the remnants fade, I'm enduring the aftermath.
All your lies came together
Your falsehoods became evident as I gazed into your eyes.
As I stared in your green eyes
Highlighting a moment of realization or clarity.
Just like the oil pumping in Texas
Comparing emotions to oil pumping in Texas—intense and unsettling.
The blood it curdled inside of me
Internal turmoil, likened to blood curdling within.
My heart broke wide open
An emotional breakdown, akin to a heart breaking open.
Just like the storm in love county
Drawing parallels between a storm and emotional turmoil in Love County.
I could hear the winds a howling
Perceiving the sounds of a storm with ominous winds.
There was smokey violence all around
Describing a chaotic and uncertain atmosphere.
I stared at a picture of us
Reflecting on a past image of the relationship.
As the tornado tumbled down
Metaphorically witnessing the destruction of the relationship.
A storm cut straight through love county
Reiteration of the storm cutting through Love County.
But it's not my blood that covers me
Emphasizing that the blood on the speaker is not theirs.
I left you holding on to him
Reaffirming the act of leaving you for someone else.
Like you meant nothing to me
Reiterating the notion that the speaker treated the relationship as insignificant.
