Confidante
Unveiling Shadows of Love: Paul McCartney's Confidante Chronicles
Lyrics
You used to be my confidante
You were once the person I confided in, my closest companion.
My underneath's darkest friend
You were the one who knew my deepest, most hidden secrets and thoughts.
But I fell out of love with you
However, I stopped loving you.
And brought our romance to an end
As a result, I ended our romantic relationship.
I played with you throughout the day
I interacted with you extensively during the day.
And told you every secret thought
I shared with you every private and confidential thought I had.
Unlike my other so-called friends
Unlike my other friends whom I considered unreliable.
You stood beside me as I fought
You supported me through my struggles and challenges.
In your reflected glory eye
In your gaze filled with admiration for me,
Could dream of shining far off lands
I could envision achieving great success and recognition.
Would serpents turn to bits of string
Even dangerous or difficult situations would become harmless and manageable.
And play like kittens in my hand
I had control and power over daunting situations, much like playing with harmless kittens.
In our imaginary world
In our shared imaginative world or fantasy,
Would butterflies wear army boots
I wondered if even unlikely things like butterflies would adopt a militant attitude.
And stomp around the forests
They might traverse the forests with force, displaying unexpected behavior.
Chanting long lost anthems
Singing ancient songs that have been forgotten by time.
Long lost anthems
Reiterating the concept of forgotten anthems.
You used to be my confidante
You were once the person I confided in, my closest companion.
My underneath's darkest friend
You were the one who knew my deepest, most hidden secrets and thoughts.
But I fell out of love with you
However, I stopped loving you.
And brought our romance to an end
As a result, I ended our romantic relationship.
I played with you throughout the day
I interacted with you extensively during the day.
And told you every secret thought
I shared with you every private and confidential thought I had.
Unlike my other so-called friends
Unlike my other friends whom I considered unreliable.
You stood beside me as I fought
You supported me through my struggles and challenges.
You stood beside me as I fought
-You used to be my confidante
You were once the person I confided in, my closest companion.
