Own It
Unmasking Deceit: The Hidden Truths in Orange Guava Passion's 'Own It'
Lyrics
You never paid for what you did
You are accountable for your actions and haven't faced the consequences.
Said that was back when you were a kid
Claims that the misdeeds occurred in childhood.
You aren’t what you claimed to be
Your character doesn't match your self-proclaimed identity.
You can’t just clear your history
You cannot erase your past mistakes and actions.
You just look away
Avoiding responsibility by ignoring the consequences.
But it’s not just your game to play
Emphasizes that the situation involves more than just one person's decisions.
Own it
An urging to take responsibility for one's actions.
Oh everybody knows it
Highlighting that the wrongdoing is widely known.
Said that it ruined your good name
Acknowledging that the actions tarnished your reputation.
Oh what a shame
An expression of regret for the impact on your reputation.
But really who’s to blame?
Questioning who is ultimately responsible for the consequences.
Looks like you’re safely in the clear
Suggesting that the person has successfully avoided repercussions.
Now you’ve confirmed our deepest fear
Confirmation of the audience's worst fears about your actions.
In case you haven’t got a clue
Indicating that the person may not fully understand the gravity of their actions.
No we’re not really done with you
Implying that the situation is far from resolved.
You just look away
Reiterating the act of avoiding responsibility.
But it’s not just your game to play
Stressing that the consequences involve more than personal consequences.
Own it
Repetition of the call to take responsibility for one's actions.
Oh everybody knows it
Emphasizing the widespread awareness of the wrongdoing.
Said that it ruined your good name
Reiterating the damage to personal reputation.
Oh what a shame
Expressing sorrow for the negative impact on reputation.
But really who’s to blame?
Raising the question of ultimate responsibility for the consequences.
You just look away
Repetition of the act of looking away from the repercussions.
But it’s not just your game to play
Reiterating the shared responsibility for the consequences.
You just look away
Continued avoidance of facing the consequences.
But it’s not just your game to play
Repetition of the shared responsibility for the consequences.
You just look away
Persisting in avoiding accountability for the actions.
But it’s not just your game to play
Reiterating the involvement of others in the consequences.
So why don’t you just own it?
A direct call to accept and acknowledge responsibility for the actions.
Oh everybody knows it
Reiterating the widespread awareness of the wrongdoing.
Said that it ruined your good name
Restating the negative impact on personal reputation.
Oh what a shame
Expressing regret for the damage to one's reputation.
But really who’s to blame?
Posing the question of who is ultimately responsible for the consequences.
Own it
Reiteration of the call to take ownership of one's actions.
Oh everybody knows it
Reiterating the widespread awareness of the wrongdoing.
Said that it ruined your good name
Restating the negative impact on personal reputation.
Oh what a shame
Expressing regret for the damage to one's reputation.
But really who’s to blame?
Posing the question of who is ultimately responsible for the consequences.
