Terrible Man
Confessions of a Regretful Heart
Lyrics
I'm a terrible man
Self-identification as a terrible person
I'm a terrible man
Reiteration of self-identification as a terrible person
Since I done my baby wrong
Recognition of wrongdoing toward a romantic partner
I'm a terrible man
Reassertion of being a terrible person
Got wall to wall carpet
Description of material possessions (carpet)
In my custom Dodge van but
Further description of material possessions (Dodge van)
I'm a terrible man
Confirmation of self-perception as a terrible person despite possessions
I'm a terrible man
Self-acknowledgment as a terrible person
I'm a terrible man
Reiteration of self-acknowledgment as a terrible person
Since I done that girl so wrong
Acknowledgment of mistreating another person
I'm a terrible man
Reiteration of being a terrible person due to past actions
Got a condo on the beach
Description of more material possessions (condo on the beach)
And a California tan but
Further description of material possessions (California tan)
I'm a terrible man, I'm a terrible man
Reaffirmation of self-identity as a terrible person despite possessions
I'm a terrible man
Self-confirmation as a terrible person
I'm a terrible man
Reiteration of self-confirmation as a terrible person
Since I left her standing alone
Recognition of abandoning someone
I'm a terrible man
Reassertion of being a terrible person due to past actions
Got a solid gold record
Description of accomplishment (solid gold record)
With my rock and roll band
Further description of accomplishment (rock and roll band)
Everybody's being nice to me
Feeling misunderstood despite external success
But they don't understand, no
Recognition that others don't grasp one's true nature as a terrible person
I'm a terrible man, I'm a terrible man
Final reiteration of self-identity as a terrible person
