Candy
Love's Betrayal: One Way Out's 'Candy' Unveiled
Lyrics
First all I wanted was to be in your place
Desire to be in a favorable position originally
You seemed so full of love and grace
Initial impression of the person as loving and graceful
But now I've realized you're a walking disgrace
Realization of the person's disgraceful behavior
Both to me and the whole human race
Viewing the person's actions negatively impacting everyone
Gave you my heart, you put it in your shoe
Metaphorical giving of love, which was disregarded
And I asked "Well, whatcha gonna do"
Questioning the person's intentions and actions
"I'm gonna walk all over town on your chest
Threat of stepping over others for personal gain
And I'll find another man with whom to take my rest"
Intent to seek solace with another person
So rude
Expressing disapproval or shock at behavior
Some dude?
Asking about another person's identity or relevance
So rude
Reiteration of disapproval
Oh Candy, you wrecked my mind
Blaming 'Candy' for mental distress
Now I'm shifting in and out of time
Experiencing confusion or instability in time perception due to distress
And my brain's been sifting through
Engaging in introspection about distressing thoughts
All of those scary thoughts of you
Recalling troubling aspects of 'Candy'
Oh Candy, oh Candy, oh Candy, oh Candy
Repetitive emphasis on 'Candy'
Oh Candy, oh Candy, oh Candy, oh Candy
-Oh Candy, why do you do
Questioning the motives behind 'Candy's' actions
All of those terrible things, you fool?
Expressing disappointment or anger at 'Candy's' actions
You swore to keep your word
Reference to a broken promise by 'Candy'
But knowing you, that's so absurd
Doubting the credibility of 'Candy'
So now I've cut all ties with you and your kin
Decisive separation from 'Candy' and associated people
I can't live with that awful din
Cannot endure the distress caused by 'Candy'
Oh Candy, you wrecked my mind
Blaming 'Candy' for mental distress (repeated)
Now I'm shifting in and out of time
Continued distress and instability in time perception (repeated)
And my brain's been sifting through
Continued introspection about distressing thoughts (repeated)
All of those scary thoughts of you
Recollection of troubling aspects of 'Candy' (repeated)
Oh Candy, oh Candy, oh Candy, oh Candy
Repetitive emphasis on 'Candy' (repeated)
Oh Candy, oh Candy, oh Candy, oh Candy
-Oh Candy, why do you do
Reiterating questioning of 'Candy's' actions (repeated)
All of those terrible things, you fool?
Reiterated disappointment or anger at 'Candy's' actions (repeated)
