The Villain
Redemption Unveiled: The Complex Tale of 'The Villain' by Oliver Tree
Lyrics
What are you waiting for?
Expressing impatience or curiosity about a delay or hesitation
I can't take anymore
Reaching a limit or breaking point, unable to endure more
You make me sick to my core
Feeling intense disgust or repulsion at a fundamental level
And I've never felt so sure
Experiencing a high level of certainty or confidence
What do you really need?
Inquiring about the genuine needs of the other person
I've seen your heart still bleed
Observing emotional pain or vulnerability in the other person
Every time I leave
Noticing emotional distress when departing
There's nothing else I can see
Unable to perceive anything else in the situation
No, there's nothing else I can believe
Lacking alternative beliefs or perspectives
Please don't make me out to be
Requesting not to be misrepresented or misunderstood
Something that I'm not
Rejecting an inaccurate portrayal of oneself
I tried to give you everything
Attempting to provide everything one can offer
But so much went wrong
Acknowledging numerous failures or obstacles
I'm not a villain (villain)
Asserting that one is not a villainous character
I'm not a bad guy with a master plan
Denying any intentional harm or malicious scheming
I'm not a monster (monster)
Rejecting the label of being a monstrous figure
So don't say my name when you mention them
Requesting not to be associated with negative entities
We both know that's a stretch
Acknowledging the unrealistic nature of perfection
Perfection ain't real, how close can we get?
Questioning how close one can come to perfection
Fall short and miss by an inch
Falling short of expectations or goals by a small margin
Love is a battle where nobody wins
Describing love as a conflict where there are no winners
Missiles fire back and forth
Depicting a situation of reciprocal missile attacks
No one's innocent fighting a war
Highlighting the lack of innocence in a war-like scenario
Everybody plays their part
Emphasizing everyone's role and participation in conflict
We both screwed up from the start
Acknowledging mutual mistakes or errors from the beginning
We both shot holes in each other's hearts
Confirming damage inflicted on each other emotionally
Please don't make me out to be
Reiterating the plea not to be misrepresented or misunderstood
Something that I'm not
Reaffirming the rejection of an inaccurate portrayal
I tried to give you everything
Stating the intention to provide everything despite past failures
But so much went wrong
Acknowledging the significant amount that went wrong
I'm not a villain (villain)
Reasserting that one is not a villainous character
I'm not a bad guy with a master plan
Repeating the denial of intentional harm or malicious scheming
I'm not a monster (monster)
Reiterating the rejection of being a monstrous figure
So don't say my name when you mention them
Reiterating the request not to be associated with negative entities
